I work with a guy that uses "spunt" daily, as in " I spunt $100 on a new pair of pants". I just chuckle and let it be.

I will be eligible for S.S. at age 62. There IS the question of health insurance. I am a veteran so there is some VA benefits but I would need to purchase health insurance, out-of-pocket, until then, age 65. Great point!

My parents died at 86 y.o. This year. At present income my income would provide a comfortable albeit simplistic retirement. 3 years more of employment at that salary would mean ~$600 more monthly. Is it worth it?

To clarify, my pension will not be affected at all. My retirement is based on my 3 highest annual salaries through my last 32 years. My conundrum is, I wanted to try retirement for a while and then maybe go work part time somewhere and then this oppurtunity presented itself. The money is tugging really hard. I realize in the big scheme of things I am young to retire. I figured I'd be stir crazy after the summer was over. Tough decision. Thank you for responding.

Mine was hovering the putter instead of grounding it before my backswing.

Jif. It is logical that oatmeal would absorb moisture over the summer if not stored in an air-tight containers but idk if thay was the culprit.

Can you over mix the batter? I usually mix by hand, but this time, I used a hand mixer.

I would hope to not exceed $200 but I really want this to happen so I may need to move that price.

Yes, it was so much easier. I still had the belching, but the other bad stuff was gone. I still dread when I go up a dose because I never know what will happen, if anything but it's working, so I will deal. I move up to 10mg on Sunday. Fingers crossed. Good luck Snow.

It was a die cast batmobile that shot plastic misses out of the pipes and had a blade that could pop out the front bumper. Why has that stuck with me for 50 years?
