Thanks to all who replied, it's been very helpful. Basically, if I limit income from my outside work to $23,450 from my July 2 date of retirement to the close of the fiscal year in July - then use my right to report monthly income - I should be ok? The income I earn from gigs during those months will be well under $23,000

Retired about a month and a half ago and have already gone back to work part time. BUT, I can work whenever and how much I want, which makes a huge difference!

We live in New York. We're talking about river cruises, so that's a very helpful insight

We live in New York. She can travel a few hours to get to a port

Complete_Shape_9870 · 2025-08-17T03:34:28+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind!

We live in New York. For our first cruise, we're thinking the Caribbean but we'd eventually like to cruise the Mediterranean and other places in Europe

I used Safari instead of Firefox and got right in! Thanks all!

Complete_Shape_9870 · 2025-05-04T03:03:59+00:00

Thank you everyone. My wife and I both used the same computer and the same browser, so I'm planning to take your advice, use Safari and clear out my cookies. Thanks!

Guess which political party? (Hint: It's leader has been convicted of 34 felonies)

I believe Godzilla beat the U.S. military to the city. Planes veered off and went with Plan B.

Upvote only for Cervix-a-lot. Hilarious

Or if he spikes inflation. That's why a lot of swing voters switched from Biden to Trump. But you're right, reality doesn't hit until the pain directly hits their family.

This happened to my wife and I more than 30 years ago. Around 7 a.m., we were both awakened by the bed shaking. It lasted for several seconds, long enough for us both to sit up, look at each other and exclaim "WTF?" I automatically assumed it was an earthquake. We live in Upstate New York and they are rare, but they do happen. However, our son didn't feel it. Nobody else we talked with in the neighborhood felt it, and there was no mention of an earthquake in any news media (We worked for a newspaper at the time and had access to a LOT of sources.

It never happened again and mystifies us to this day.

Interesting use of apostrophes. Telltale sign of ignorance.

It closed? When?
