    Long term care plan surprise

    LTC companies are betting you won't need it or rates are high enough to cover. They have resources to know odds are in their favor. So why bet against the house, their not in business to lose money. I'm 80 and wife 77 and fully independent and no LTC. Mom was in nursing home for 5 years...

    Why do you live in the town you live in and what keeps you there?

    LOL. When we retired, we moved to Washington, Ia. We lived about 40 miles away before, and sons' families live in the area. Spend couple of months in winter on the Gulf Coast and summers in Door County Wisconsin. That way miss most of the cold and hot of Iowa.

    Countdown to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

    If world gives into Putin now, he will be embolden to continue to take over more countries. Where to stop him? If a nuke is used, I'm sure he will say it was used by the west to blame Russia. Just like all the destruction to hospitals, schools, civilian homes wasn't done by Russian...

    Countdown to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

    Ukraine's plead for help parallels some of WWII. British wanted help and we supplied equipment but not direct military forces(Lend-Lease Act). We didn't get involved militarily until Pearl Harbor. Will the same thing happen here with NATO? Will Russia cross a line where we will be forced...

    Countdown to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

    I think it is given that Ukraine wouldn't attack Russia. But Russia wants Ukraine to demilitarize to what end? So that they will be easier to invade the next time. Promises and agreements aren't worth anything if they don't want to abide by them. Ask the American Indians how some of...

    Countdown to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

    Not defending it but who started the war? Remember Pearl Harbor? The military was offered choice to surrender but they refused. Estimates to storm mainland Japan would have cost 100,000+ American lives. We can read about because of our freedom, whereas in Russia can only read what...
