I am retired now, and moved to Florida. And it is really great for my sons to be able to finally go down and visit now that I am able to do those things in life that I always wanted to do, which is to start drinking at noon and then head on out to buy my sons ugly shirts.

I don’t need to play hard to get, I am already hard to want.

Talk about inflation, our state DEP says there's been a 20% increase in the bear population this year!

Chevies, as most vehicles, need to be replaced every 10, 20 years or so. Don't know their price in '91, but in '91 I bought 300 shares of one of my best stocks at $26.00 each, $7,800. total. They split, 2 for 1, three times, my 300 shares becoming 600, then 1,200, to currently 2,400 shares. The cost per share thus went from $26.00 to $13.00, then $6,50 and now $3.25. Last year the price per share went to about $60.00, a few months ago it was about $44.00 and recently about $49.00. Quite a number of quality companies have increased the dividend payments annually for 5, 10, 20 and 30 years, a fairly few even longer. This one has done so for upwards of 30 years. Two years ago a memorable time appeared: their quarterly dividend cheques added in pne year to the $7,800. original price paid. But let's not forget: that $7,800 would have bought a great deal more goods and services (even Chevy trucks - or investments) than they're able to provide today! ole (frugal) joyfuelled

Re: Complimentary bread. Once, in Germany, there was a charge on our bill for bread. We hadn't eaten any from the basket on our table, but we were charged because we had not told the waiter to remove it when we sat down. (This was a very long time after WWII.)

eld6161, Yes your cat is cheating. IIRC the total number of W's in scrabble is 2, and the total number of M's is 3. So your cat probably has a separate bag of extra tiles and every time you look away he swaps some of his useless tiles for ones that allow him to place his favorite word.

In the past you might have noticed your cat playfully swatting at tiles on a scrabble board, and thought "Oh that's cute" but then when you went to put the game away found that some tiles were missing. That was no accident.

Thanks all. I still read here most every day.

Things are still far from being normal or good here, but I guess I could go as far as saying things are Ok. I had family visiting until just a couple of weeks ago, and still have friends coming by to hang out. And I've actually been working from home and accomplishing the tasks I need to do.

The baby horse, Champ, is a joy. He is becoming very friendly and outgoing.

So nice to hear from you, Bob. Sounds like you are doing as well as can be expected. I’m glad you have a good support system, including Champ.

that is good to do, even if you don't post. it'll be a long time (if ever) that life will be normal again, but it can be good again. I remember many decades ago going thru something like that and after a few weeks family and friends went back to their lives and being home alone was not good … I went back to work after those 1st 2 weeks too and they were surprised I came back 'so soon'. It was much better to be busy and have something else occupy my mind during the day hours and exhaust my body. It will ease in time, just hold on to what the future has for you and keep going forward.
