I know of one couple who has gone to visit them. Said it was beautiful and everything was reasonably priced.

I have friends who retired to Costa Rico.

Retirement abroad can be affordable.
There exist communities of retirees from the U.S., who are called ex-pats, or ex-patriots.

When I went to nephew#1's wedding at a Jamaican resort there was a couple who lived there for at least part of the year - aside from sunny beaches there's maid service, a staff doctor, all you can eat buffets and an endless supply of new people to meet, and it's probably no more expensive than living in an AL community.

Thinking about seniors who retire on cruise ships.
Interesting.

Things will get better!

Becky pm'ed me that she was closing her account due to abusive pms from a couple of loose cannons on the site.

Apparently at least one long-time poster told newer folks that Becky had multiple accounts and was responsible for some pretty vile posts.

Another reminder, I think, as to why when we read an outlandish post not to respond or feed the trolls.

Hoping Becky comes back.

A bit worried about Becky. Haven’t seen any post from her for 2 days. She always posts in the “What’s for dinner?” thread everyday. Hope she’s ok.

I bought my car brand new because we were in the last recession, nobody was buying cars and Toyota was offering 0% financing.... it was a pretty sweet deal! And it's sure been nice to just turn the key and go without any worries.

cwillie, it is still almost always cheaper than buying a new car. Cars are usually terrible "investments". Our family has a strategy of keeping "beaters" because between my husband, eldest son and YouTube they could McGyver any car back to being "drivable". Our last 1998 Lexus (bought used, sold last year with 325K miles) was named Lazarus. I like beaters because I don't want to fuss over looks or cleanliness or door dings -- I just want it to be safe, reliable and have heat/ac. I don't need fancy technology. I used to have a red van that we called the "Clampett-mobile", much to my sons' dismay when they had to borrow it. ;-)

Had my car in to put on my snow tires and for fall service, now they tell me I need new brake lines and cylinders😖.
Ah well, it's an '09 corolla and except for new tires it has only needed routine repairs until now, I guess my luck was bound to start to run out ...

I want to echo Glad. VOTE VOTE VOTE. HowEVER you vote, just DO IT. We are carrying the torch. Vote. I remember how my brother wanted to live for just one more vote (he didn't make it), and how, when he went into his ALF his first thought was getting his change of address for his ballot.

Just updating good news. My uncle went to the dentist some weeks ago. The dentist was negligent: nerve damage. Probably injected/touched a nerve.

Extremely luckily weeks later, all is OK. Healed.

I wish us luck with all our challenges here on the forum.

I wondered if some of this was a result of getting bonked on the head by the 2x4 a few years ago when the just opened clinic was closing.

Becky, I am thinking of you today and wish you the very best. I will look here when you are up to letting us know how you are doing. I am so sorry that you have to go through all this. Keep your courage up. Many care for you.

ITRR. Not injury related. Peripheral artery disease. I've had the procedure done twice before without any problems.

Becky, wishing you a smooth procedure and with best possible results. Blessings to you!

Becky, is that a result of the injury when you fell? Or is it why you didn't heal as planned?

Prayers this goes well and the revolving hospital door is shutdown for you.
