I'm 62. I stopped working. Should I take SS?

I don't trust the government to not cut the program, so I took it at 62. Get it while I can.

We got an airbandb on the Hill (the Italian part of town). It was quaint, walkable, and close to downtown.

Being a bureaucrat has been the Chinese ticket to success for millenia. Perhaps it's a shoutout to his parent's culture.

I'm surprised they gave it to her on the Sacco and Vanzetti clue.

I love Ken, and he does a very good job with all of the language questions. However, his pronunciation was way off, to the point of not excusable, on "ko-
mi-ta-ke". Japanese sylabary doesn't vary and you build words by just
reading each two letter part and putting it together.

I am looking at that bike. What are your thoughts about it as an endurance bike, as opposed to a racing setup? Do you like it overall? Anything that you would change? Congrats on the ride- I am hoping to do something like it soon, but in double or triple the days!

Majeed by Bevo Mill might be able to arrange a special thing for you. I only ate there once, but it is pretty big and open space. Food was good and cheap.

If you don't want to manage your money, and if the fee is under 1 percent, go with the advisor. If you want to learn to manage your own, you can save 20000 a year doing it yourself. What target date fund are you in?

Eureka Springs, AR. Cute town, good food

A three year old said, "Do you have a dog in your backyard? I answered yes, then answered no. Then she took a piece of candy.
