the credit cards can affect your fico store, but a good relationship with a
bank, and a hefty savings account can pretty much get barrowed what you
need, and if you don't intend to barrow its not that needed, Lee

"retard"

Only socially unconscious assholes use a derogatory term for a disabled
person to attack others. No surprise though, since many of your posts are
hostile.

At least I usually (not perfect, but getting there) have the common sense to
killfile people whose noise to signal ratio is unacceptable, and thus
sanitize my experience to suit me.

In this case I will practice good bandwidth sanitation.

I didn`t get that from Sheldon`s post. I thought he said he had no
problem with them so long as they didn`t preach about the benefits.

Personally, I view view it as disfigurement. I am not impressed withe
tattoos, even when bright, shiny and new, and I know that the tats and
the skin are going to deteriorate.

There will always be people who will jump on the latest fashion fads in
an ironically lame attempt to display their individuality. There are
lots of people who have a hard time looking at old photos and seeing
their ridiculous clothes and hair styles. The people with tattoos are
stuck with theirs.

I had mixed feelings about retirement job. Working for the government at
that time there was the constant threat of our departments being
privatized and our job outsourced, all due to political agendas more
than economics. It is like working under the proverbial sword of
Damocles. There were some changes coming that I did not appreciate.
Other than that, I enjoyed my job. The money was good, the work was
interesting and I had a lot of freedom. I only saw my boss once every
month or two.

I would have gladly stayed a few more years. The problem was that there
was an early retirement package being offered. Instead of the 90 factor,
I could go on an 80 factor, 53 with 27 years. The problem was that there
was a 6 month window to take that 80 factor exit. I was eligible to go
in January. I stayed until the end of June. If I didn't go by June I
had to stay for 5 more years. I was prepared for a couple more years,
but not 5 more.

My father's father died of cancer at 56, but his mother died just a
few weeks short of 100. One of his sisters died at 44 and his brother at
49. My mother's father died at 76 and her mother at 95. My father died
at 77 and my mother at 84. One of her sisters died at 75 but another
is still alive at 80. It does seem that our grandparents, on the
average, outlived their children.

My SiL has long believed that previous generations lived long healthy
lives, despite the average life expectancy being low. She figures that
women dying in childbirth, infant mortality, childhood diseases and
industrial or farming accidents took large numbers, driving the average
down. Those who survived childhood, child bearing and work went on to
live long lives. If you go through old cemeteries you see that there are
lots and lots of people from previous generations who lived into their
80a and 90s.

That's a new twist on an old idea! Fast fading tattoos instead of
long lasting. You could make a fortune!

Newly retired here at 52, now 53 going on my first six month of retirement.
So afraid of getting laid off and losing everything. They knocked off three
years of my servitude. I had my 30 years in, but not 55 years old for
retirement. My retirement was a sudden deal. Just two weeks notice, so my
mind set was like a WOW! I was
Ike in that regular mindless rut, wake up, shower, work, sleep, wake up
..... For thirty years, I felt just like "DOBE" from Harry Potter, "I AM
FREE".

Minuses I am wasting to much time and my income cut in half. I have lots of
things to do, I just need to get my act together and form new and healthier
patterns. Pluses, everything is payed for but still half income means no
more luxuries. I may look for another part time job for a little extra cash
in a year or two.

When I was working I hated my job, I hated everyone around me. Now I feel
free and enjoy life so much better. Summer is now here and I can now
prepare my garden and enjoy the outside every day! I love the sun and the
wind and breathe the fresh spring air. Winter blues is about over with.

Killfiling indicates to me lack of enough backbone to ignore and move
on... folks with a spine don't announce who they ignore because if
they announce then they aren't really ignoring, now are they. My
newsreader shows the name of the author of every post, it's very
simple (for me) not to click on those particular names. And killfiles
really don't work, often the particular person whose posts you don't
want to read are quoted... then only those with functioning spines
never mention that they saw the quote... only the jellyfish mention
about quotes. The type of killfile that would be useful hasn't yet
been invented, one that prevents particular people from seeing your
posts... no matter who killfiles me I can still read their stupidity
and if I'm bored and have time it's pretty simple to ensure that
someone whose posts they do read will post my response.

I meant no disrespect to her. Implants are common and accepted by most

be wrong, and probably am. But if they're real, they're spectacular.
And if they're not, they still are.

I really liked the tat. It must have taken hours to do.
 
its not at all hard to do either, all you need is a debit visa or master
card. this whole you "need " a card is just propaganda for the people who
make money off of them... don't get me wrong, for the people who use them
responsibly, and enjoy them fine, its just not something i want to bother
with, and we are fortunate enough that we rarely need anything bad enough
to barrow for it, and we can usually save for what tit is we need, Lee

Yeah, she always gets upset whenever we go to visit because she tries hard to
remember her kids, but usually can't.... even though she remembers me!!

But as as soon as we leave, within 10 mins, she doesn't even remember we were
there :-(






Well....... talk about coincidence!!

I watched a recorded episode from Lifestyle Food last night. Rick Stein's Far
Eastern Odyssey..... and he was in Sri Lanka!!

One thing I did notice last night was the abundance of Turmeric that was
used!!
Another was an ex-pat Pom living over there was raving about the food, but
said that if you go anywhere in the world to look for a Sri Lankan
restaurant, you will be hard pressed to find one.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look into it. The SO *will* be grateful as I
was going to make her swallow copius amounts of fish oil capsules/liquids :-)
