    Question for the retirees on here...

    I remember for years before I retired, many retirees told me that you will know when it is time to retire. I remember thinking that that phrase seemed pretty simplistic, and I thought I needed more of some "plan" set up that I magically would transition into when I did decide to retire. Finances...

On the return to Des Moines we lost an engine just past Denver and had to make an emergency landing in Colorado Springs.

    Paul Rhodes Does Not Know How to Win

    I'm sorry I don't have thousands of posts as you do. I have a job where I can't hang out on the net all day and screw my employer out of the time they are paying me to WORK. It doesn't mean I can not have my opinion.

    Paul Rhodes Does Not Know How to Win

    I am sorry but knowing how to spell his name really doesn't seem to gain a lot more points for anything . His chance of getting fired is probably nil but that simply means we will have one more year of listening to why we whiffed again in 2015.

    Where were you when JFK was assassinated?

    I too was in 7th grade study hall on that day. It was a rather chilly, grey and gloomy day outside. Since it was study hall it was pretty quite anyway, but I remember our high school principle coming into the room. He always wore these soft rubber sole shoes so he didn't make any noise as he...
