    Thanks Mike, that is what the SS agent told me also. but I cried the whole time I signed up for it. I am NOT needy yet, but I also have no family except my parrots-most people do have family so they don't know how scarey being old can get. And if the bottom had not fallen out of the interest...

    I did and he did, pay in for years and years, it was/is mandatory--but-taking it back out, even after 70, still makes me feel like taking something I shouldn't and like a failure. failures are NOT good for old hippy heads !! I do not need to keep up with the Jones'es and I don't even know them...

    txtumbleweed- loved your "history". Have read a lot about the civil war era- really horrible and I don't understand why most people see it as a place to visit, per se. the spirits would be still there, for me. Met my grandmother once , she was a genealogist(sp) and a few years back I did do...

    the day they take coffee away from people- will really be in the "Soylent green" era !!! And I do not want to be around for that, for sure. "1984" has come and is past- what is happening nowadays makes me glad I am 70 and time is getting shorter every day.

    Willie-missed you !!!! I have one of Denny's early " dreadnaught 20's"- loved it but have not done anything with it in the last 5 years. My b&g macaw freaks out when he sees either it or a briefcase- so kind of had to hide out to play. It is in perfect condition. Do I need to keep it at my...
