And we all know how that went! (Source: Azquotes.com) Bylaw 1.7(a)(4-3) of this blog's charter states… "A topical post relevant to retirement must be published at least once a year"...

Open Season Roulette
Source: Healthy Aging Show It's perfectly fitting this week that I find myself with a whopper of a cold. The start of Open Season (sometimes called Open Enrollment) has begun for many Americans. This is the time when one needs to review his/her health insurance for the following year and make changes if needed. For … Continue reading Open Season Roulette
Autumn Changes
Ah, yes, fall. Sweaters at the ready, school busses on the roads, pigs flying¹, and an early frost is on the pumpkin. Okay, the pumpkin part is merely poetic license. It's 75 degrees outside right now as I sit here typing. Still, it's fall here in Florida. The leaves on some of the trees have … Continue reading Autumn Changes
I’d Never Steer You Wrong
The problem with giving advice is that you sort of have to know what you're talking about in order to make a difference in someone else's life. It's not a hard and fast rule, though.

When you move too much, and you have constant upheaval because of it, it can lead to inconsistent medical care, differing advice, and too many opportunities for details to slip … Continue reading Turn Your Head and Cough
Snap, Crackle, Pop
Earlier today I went to my chiropractor appointment. I went to one regularly when I lived in California because of a pain I had in my neck (provide your own joke here, I've come up empty). I stopped seeing him when we moved to Oregon, and that turned out to be a very bad decision. Once you stop going to … Continue reading Snap, Crackle, Pop
Tick, Tick, Tick
I have until Monday to decide if I'll make a switch with our health insurance.¹ I have been on the same Blue Cross plan for over 20 years. I suspect that when the dust settles with my research this weekend, we'll end up making no changes. That's what normally happens whenever I do this. I spend … Continue reading Tick, Tick, Tick
