ProudMerrie comments on Mar 18, 2019:

I’m also giving serious thought to retiring at the end of the year. I just have to make sure that I have enough to do to keep me out of the recliner.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 19, 2019:

I will have to figure that out too. :)

mordant comments on Mar 18, 2019:

Congrats! I am still 4.5 years from full Social Security retirement and probably will have to keep working even then. But I'm fortunate to have a profession that I love (usually).

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 18, 2019:

Of full ss is 66..... I am not waiting that long. I think I will take it at 64

callmedubious comments on Mar 18, 2019:

i hope your investments & pensions are in good order. there will be a lot of people sadly disappointed at how much their state,municipal pensions amount to in the very near future. i retired at 42 with a fully indexed military pension. Fed govts can always keep printing money but states are limited...

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 18, 2019:

Yea retiring at 42 would scare me to death. I will be 63.... so I will have saved an additional 21 years...

GuitarDoctor comments on Mar 18, 2019:

I took my wife to the movies on Friday, our first time in over 10 years...when I went to pay for tickets, they said the "senior discount" was 55! I was shocked. My wife laughed and told me that I was a senior citizen (I'll be 57 in a couple months). I don't feel old.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 18, 2019:

I understand . You arent . You are just 57!

I am planning on retiring at the end of 2019.

Aryn comments on Mar 12, 2019:

The whole thing. I would would do my whole life over. I would have parents who would raise me with self esteem instead of having a sexual predator dad and sexually enslaved mom, who both neglected me.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 13, 2019:

In a world where working class people regularly vote conservative, I will never underestimate the ability of the general population to shoot themselves repeatedly in the foot.

Have you ever lived somewhere you didn't want to and couldn't wait to get out?

CarolinaGirl60 comments on Mar 10, 2019:

Youngsville, NC, just north of Raleigh. I didn’t know anybody, except my ex, whose house I had moved into. I always felt alone and abandoned there.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 10, 2019:

Very small town ....

Indubitably comments on Mar 9, 2019:

I tried to tell my daughter a joke the other day and I was laughing so hard that I was crying. I couldn't get the punch line out....and it wasn't even THAT funny. I think she thought I was losing it. lol

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 9, 2019:

What was the joke?

I'm trying to meet someone for a period relationship. A man around my age.

Bigwavedave comments on Mar 8, 2019:

I thought you meant like a Victorian period, or medieval.. or Roman!

Got a call from my bank yesterday.

Mark013 comments on Mar 7, 2019:

Screw the banks, go to a credit union. Member owned and the same FDIC protections for your accounts as a bank.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 8, 2019:

Cut s have advantages . Member owned. Etc. For credit cards they dont usually have the fraud protection. And generally they dont compete well for mortgages. They are great for used vehicle loans.

Beautiful but sad, most of us have been there and relate to it.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 8, 2019:

@Marcie1974 yes dont call him. You will just be hurt. Go on to the next....that's what you do. I still think of my gif from 1977...... you just cauterize the wound.

webbew1 comments on Mar 6, 2019:

Great as Adele is, I still think Bonnie Raite’s original version is better. Bonnie Raite seems to connect with the lyrics more. Adele is just doing a cover version of someone else’s song here. Not much else. Servicable, but not spectacular.

Bigwavedave replies on Mar 8, 2019:

Couldn't agree more. I love adele, but Bonnie owns this.

There’s no set time frame to go through the stages of grief. We are all individuals and cope in different ways. Be mindful of your needs and seek counseling if you need to.

St-Sinner comments on Mar 3, 2019:

If Trump survives the first term, he will certainly get elected against weak and message-less (sadly) Democrats and he gather more strength to become the most powerful president ever to make the Fourth Reich.

I've lived in a shipping container, 3 types of sailboats, a permanent tent, a boat on land, a ruin both with and without a roof and/or restoration, a plywood wagon, a traditional hut in Haiti, and in houses made of wood, brick, concrete and rubble... All were fine, so long as there's a nearby toilet...

Boy you have a narrow man experience . You should choose better. This is on you.

Bigwavedave replies on Feb 20, 2019:

@nicknotes well I am 62 approaching 63. Speaking for myself I can definitely see I dont have the energy and stamina I did at 50. Well my judgement may be a little better. But the world and technology are changing fast and for me , I believe it would be beneficial to have someone post Vietnam. Someone that better understands technology. I loved Obama, but didnt he underestimate what was happening with t h e russians? I think Hillary, Biden, Elizabeth and Bernie are too old. In thought. Too short in fresh ideas. And I want someone tough as nails to lock this clown up.

In the long run, none of this matters.

Lavergne comments on Feb 20, 2019:

I'd love to see some new blood and fresh ideas. Unfortunately once people start voting, it seems like they vote for reasons that have very little to do with fresh ideas. Half the contenders will drop by the wayside in short order.....and if Joe Biden throws his hat in - I suspect the dems will...

Bigwavedave replies on Feb 20, 2019:

Oh no. Joe is too old imo. So is Elizabeth and Bernie. How about someone under 60?

In the long run, none of this matters.
