Re: Where in Florida
Thanks, Chillin, Yes we have considered the Villages. If I were an avid golfer, they would be on the short list. However, I would prefer to have quick access to boating. We have thought about New Smyrna Beach, across the street from the beach area. But of course it is not as warm as farther south.

We had to leave the ar...

Re: Where in Florida
UMMMM! 55+ community, never really thought much about that. We do fall well into that category by several years. :)) Different 55+ communities have different rules I am sure, but do they permit say a very young granddaughter live there as well. Unfortunately that has been a continuing issue with win...

Re: At the Social Security Office
It is actually the Windfall Elimination Provision. Before 1983 it was possible to get a pension from a job that did not pay into system and have SS benefits calculated as if they were long term ,low wage workers. So now SS uses what is called the Government Pension Offset to rip off people such as m...

Re: At the Social Security Office
Trying not to be judgemental, but from appearances, I get a gut feeling that most have not paid into the system nor will anytime soon. IMOE_HILLMAN wrote:Did you ask how many of them actually paid in to the system?

The place was packed. Mostly with maybe twentysomething people, pregnant , or towing young children, with perhaps mat...

Quickie in the Bushes.
Quickie in the Bushes. There are two statues in a park; One of a nude man and one of a nude woman. They had been facing each other across a path way for a hundred years, when one day an angel comes down from the sky and, with a single gesture, brings the two to life. The angel tells them, 'As a rewa...

Re: China's "SUPREME" leader......
What kind of makes me worry about all the high tech stuff being sent to China is what my older brothers said about all the resources provided to Japan that we received back at Pearl Harbor. Japan was not a country that had the resouces needed to wage war. So where did they come from?
