Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ugh, msbelle. That is so shitty. It makes me terrified for my dad. He's 66 years old and on a company pension since retiring four years ago. Without the pension he and my mom would be in serious trouble. I hope your parents can figure something out (if they own their own home, I'd check into a reverse mortgage.)

DH still has a pension, but the insurance industry isn't so quick to underfund annuities. It just looks bad. But we're not counting on it being there when we retire and saving on our own.

Step off October, people. It's one of your premier months: colorful foliage, low-stress holidays, little-to-no need for either air conditioning or heat, and actual air in the air.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think October has been ruined for me, ever since Carl Rove promised an October Surprise.

In October, in New England, there is no Karl Rove, except for people who decide to go the really scary route with their Halloween costumes.

October is one of my favorite months, because that's when I got married! I actually know a lot of people with October anniversaries, and I am going to a wedding in a couple weeks as well.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think October has been ruined for me, ever since Carl Rove promised an October Surprise.

Until it actually happens, I'll be keeping my spirits up by assuming it's going to be a surprise lobotomy, for himself.

And What Cindy Said, re: October. It's the beginning of fall! Cooler air, changing leaves! Halloween is in it! October ROCKS!

October is the best month of all, the worst of the summer heat is gone, and the winter storms aren't quite here. Spring gets too hot too quickly, so October wins.

Nora, our anniversary is this month, too. I caught myself thinking it would be our 16th anniversary, when it will actually only be our 12th. I was counting the years we've been together instead of just the years we've been married.

Cindy and her DH are me and my DH, except our anniversary is in June.
