You're welcome my friend. I don't remember how I came across them Officer, it's been so long since I first found them both. I've seen interesting things on other social media sites and it my news apps.Thank for posting this and the other cool quizzes you've posted, Diva. Where do you find them?
You offer a lot of wisdom in that post, Dave. Thanks for the reality check.Makes a huge difference how old you are and what ailments you may suffer from. A comfortable neighborhood at age 65 may become a disaster by 80 or 85. Nice to ride that bike and take the dogs for a walk in your 60's but may become a non-starter a few years later.
My wife and I were consistent walkers in our 60's/early 70's, but as we edged into our 80's it was a rapid decline in our physical abilities. And this without either of us becoming ill or having an accident. Just a gradual decline.
I only mention this as something to consider when settling in for your retirement years. The "perfect" place can become a nightmare.
My best solution - - -Hold onto your car as long as possible, live near your kids and grandkids and hope you've treated them right as a parent/grandparent. As I approach 90 with my wife just a step behind, that gallon of milk or medical prescription that we need or the trip to the doc/hospital becomes a major problem unless there's a little help nearby.
Of course, if you don't last too long and check out early, there's nothing to worry about !
Oh so true! I always know I’ll be fine with whatever comes my way, as long as hubby is by my side. But, we are also blessed with caring and loving children and grands, so hopefully God will keep blessing us for years to come.Makes a huge difference how old you are and what ailments you may suffer from.
