From our personal correspondence I can say you are a very lucky man to have her. My best to both of you, but sorry, no contribution to your retirement fund from me. We're living off our hard-earned money now ourselves. :-s Our lifestye hasn't changed but I was used to spending frivolously whenever the urge hit me and now my husband has us on a strict budget since we don't know how long it has to last us.

I've been up since 5 am and have done laundry, cleaned the house; walked the freeloaders for an hour, did the big grocery headache and am preparing for my wife's b-day next week. I don't what you to think she doesn't do anything around the house, but she had to work today. I really do not feel old, but I did sneak in a 30 minute nap---what luxury! Absolutely!

Birthday gifts can be direct-deposited into a retirement account. I figure I only have to work about 15 more years to afford to retire. I am so lucky I get a car and gasoline with my job. It pays less than private practice, but the perks are great. I’ll be 60 on May 26th. Birthday gifts can be direct-deposited into a retirement account.

I have been around a long time and see things a little different. I've seen a lot of false promises and lost a lot of hope by hooking my wagon to people that sounded good but did little when in office. David

I think I'm like most Americans and a very moderate person. However, symbolism can be far deeper than the word itself implies. There was a very dark time in England before America entered WWII when Winston Churchill and the Royal Family kept the hope of the British people alive through words and symbolism, i.e. the Royal Family's visits to the people during the Nazi straffing of London and Churchill's rousing speeches. I know your current preference among these candidates, but symbolism and words, when followed by action, can be critical for a nation in crisis. Symbolism and words without action are meaningless pandering to the voters however. Hi Guss-I always enjoy reading your comments and often agree with you.

GOD HELP US. I don't know about you but I'm tired of new and like my jeans, I want them a little worn and with a few wrinkles. We have come to the age of silliness and slogans. Haven't we learned anything? Eight years ago we were presented with a new kind of republican and now a new kind of democrat. GOD HELP US.
