Chris S asked:


My husband and I are retired and moving to WA soon.
Can anyone tell us where a good location would be for older people, yet within a moderate driving distance to parks, movies, restaurants, malls, bookstores etc.?
We are finished raising our children, so we prefer not to live in a young, baby-boomer location.
Thanks for your help!

She was the honey-voiced band singer who starred in radio & television & sold more than 25 million records, with her ballads & folk songs. Jo Stafford has died of congestive heart failure, at the age of 90.
Source: MSN News….Jo Stafford passed away Wednesday, according to her son, Tim.
musica…She did indeed have a lovely voice. My favorite song was “I’ll Be Seeing You.”
Kathleen K….A long life indeed. Her son told the media that she’d been in failing health since this past October. Still, she lived a long life.
Marie….She had so many hits & I’m glad your husband contributed to my question as well.

Gen X won’t be able support all of them.
I wan thinking that they sell us(gen x) their houses for food.
Since life expectancy is higher now, I’m assuming that many
boomers will need us.
marystoy…
Is not stupid thinking

Unless Baby boomers continue working until death, somebody else will have to contribute to the economy.

Guess Who?
What can assure you that you’ll never run out of money?
Thinking you won’t IS STUPIDITY

Ladybug asked:


I’ve been watching classic TV. Did your father always go to work in a suit and work in an office? Did your Mother always dress in a crisp little shirtwaist dress, heels, makeup with hair perfectly done to fix breakfast? Was she always in the kitchen baking something when you came home from school. Why were the shows we all loved and envied so unrealistic back then? I remember feeling cheated because my mom wasn’t like June Cleaver. LOL
My family had no TV until the 50s. But we had radio.

Traveler asked:


Eliminate insurance because it is the main cause of health care being so expensive. When government regulates and guarantees profitable prices through plans as Medicaid, Medicare and AIDS Drug Assistance Program non medical politicians create plans that limit eligibility for citizens who need the plan and eligibility for medical caregivers to be reimbursed while assuring the bulk of our designated federal funds goes to those who own for profit institutions (who make large political donations for these eligibility rules that prevent paying out money for intended causes). This plans guarantee prices (ie. AIDS drug that costs $40 a month’s supply to produce may be sold to Africa for $80 a month supply, sold to Canada for $350, and because ADAP secured the price of $950 per infected person per month any one not eligible for ADAP must pay the high price because pharmaceutical Co’s is in business to make money and will not sell for less than what insurance plans will pay.)

Health insurance ruins supply and demand. Since 1988 many hospitals are for-profit now, originally they had to turn a profit for the owners to earn money. In 1994, during the Clinton administration, for profit hospitals were given the approval to receive federal funding, so now 20 – 60 million dollars goes to any given for profit institution in the US that show debt= owners pay themselves and non-medical CEO’s 4 million annually plus 20% tax free bonus plus unlimited healthcare and other benefit packages and they are 20 – 60 million dollars in debt and eligible for our federal tax funding while many middle class tax paying citizens must go without basic health care and prevention intervention.

The Clinton-Bush administrations, first baby boomers to be Presidents have led administrations that give government the power to redistribute working class earnings through taxes that means this class supports the rich and the poor, the administrations that made congress and our president above common FICA taxes, Medicare and Social Security by deeming tax payers will just pay all their unlimited health care out of pocket; there are rules for everything (Remember the song “Signs”? There is a freakin rule and sign for everything. Our infrastructure/highways is falling apart and the geniuses in office giving themselves annual raises (that will become their pension at our expense) far exceeding the working class increases want to sell our highways to our enemies in other nations and/or ticket every driver for what ever reason they feel like (Va. A speeding ticket is $3000. a sum that will ruin many families- but if a politician gets caught he/she will most like get off Scot-free- couldn’t congress stop giving themselves raises and maybe let our tax money be used in a better way such as repairing our highways?)
Congressmen salaries begin at 162,000. a year plus unlimited healthcare 2/3rs their pay for the rest of their life. Considering just the base pay (not raises or previous benefits such as first ladies salary for rest of their life- double dipping if one held both positions)

$162,000 x 2/3rd pension plan only = $107,989.00 x 506 reps in office = $54,642,535.20 annually for reps no longer working part-time as public servants. Add this to the ones actively in office and this number more than triples to annuals costs to the American people. Personal greed of those in office does impact working class people unable to pay for their own healthcare because of legislation made by these representatives. This dies not include the salary of the President that raised to $400,000 annually/$300,000 retirement during Clintons term.
54,642,535.20 x 3 (current active rep salaries) = 163,927,605.60 annually (controlled by cutting it in half- $81,963,803.) would be a good start to fix health care of the working class or to fix our highways. If nothing else, at least freeze their current benefits and stop selling our land and jobs to other nations until America’s own problems are resolved.

Yet another unlicensened piece of tripe. Baby Boomer. One of the light gun games that were on the NES. This game *****. And I use the tearm looserly.
