Hi Danna, welcome back! Your living situation sounds perfect, and how lovely to be near all the family! We are near one set of grandchildren,...

That's excellent!

A ring setting that the stone fell out of last week when I was gardening. A religious medal that arrived in a charity mailer.

In the words of Gomer Pyle, "Surprise, surprise."

That is so cool, Catherine!

I'll always associate him with The Great White Hope.

I know the thinking that he is using, but personally I would feel better, even with debt, with a larger temporary emergency fund, so that I wouldn't...

That is so cool, Tradd, what a great idea!!

I don't think you are nuts at all. I still work part-time and I'm 68 and my health is not holding out, and I'd much rather have work so I don't have...

The last six presidential elections my state has gone Democratic, so imagine this time will be the same.

So many people have cut back on sending cards; I think your experience is the norm, getting few. We send a few out but not nearly what we used to...

I am also a Liz Cheney fan, and would be happy to vote for her.

Good point. Do you have any feel for how long you want to/need to work before you retire? Could you focus on investing that "extra" 15000-20000,...

I like Dennis Quaid and think that is interesting casting.

I have seen eight years of him calling his followers to do violence against others. There is really nothing else I can say. I feel it is morally...

I think what happened is important. The reason that the cemetery worker did not press charges is that she was afraid of retaliation from Trump...

It is as though they are afraid of him.

IL, you honestly cannot look with your own eyes and see how he disgraced this hallowed ground? For context, here's another quotation for you, "While...

That is super low, good for you. My husband just picked up a bag of apples from an antique abandoned tree, so we will peel them and put them in the...

Why are you an apologist for this man? His act was monstrous. He has no decency.

So gorgeous.

After hearing about this Arlington story I was so upset that I felt the need to try to do something positive. So I donated to Honor Flight in honor...

Sent in my completed rosters for the first week of two new classes.

I know, isnt it great!! My rue plantings are all from one plant I bought at Hannafords the first year we were here.

That is so strange. I have a rosary that contains part of a cassock Padre Pio wore (a third class relic) that means a lot to me and brought me a lot...

Had good luck moving some lilacs that were too close to the house to the back yard by the fence. It was horribly hot when I did it and I thought...

That's impressive!

Wonderful news!

Waiting is the worst! Hang in there and take it easy.

Sending good thoughts your way!

That's cool, and sounds easy.

That is odd, that that happened to you, nwsef. I get copies of everything they send (use Schwab) and have never had any problems, and even though...

With mine, once I move the money over, it belongs to my donor advised charitable fund and not me anymore, but I control how it is spent, and I select...

I'm sorry that is happening but I think you are wise. And maybe they can do something about the problem and you will be able to drive again.

Why not set up a donor advisor fund? That way, you just switch the money to the daf, and then they do all the work--I just put what I want it to go...

I would buy a small horse farm, a Kubota tractor for my husband, a new ford truck for my husband, a horse trailer, and breed marsh tackys. And lots...

Thank you for this. I was just looking this up today because I wanted to take shares from my IRA and put them in my donor fund, and it said I could...

Rosa, I worked with a woman who got a very big divorce settlement. She bought $7000 worth of annuals one year. She was truly an icon!
