Retirement Gems
I got a kick out of the writer who feels a half acre is too small after living on 12 acres before he retired. A 1/2 acre is immense to me Retirement means relax and leave the lawn maintenance to someonelse, or the doing of NEW things and not the lawn
We live(for 14 years) just south of Wilmington NC which was one of your picks for retirement. It is truely wonderful here 20 minutes from the beach. A hot summer--but the early spring,winter and late fall are unparalleled in our opinion.
We worked and lived in Mass.,Calif., and Florida before. Wilmington which is perfect for its varied population and the many events here plus it is a two college town.This brings smart people which is always important when you want to learn more in your 70's.

health insurance
why is obama so desperate to push the changes through? the representatives admit they don't even have time to read the changes never mind study them.he has the votes so he wants credit never mind it will turn into a debt burden our children will have to suffer as well as bad health care.
Health Insurance
Have you noticed that the US government is converting to totalitarianism on, of all things, health insurance? Our leader says, "You vill buy health insurance vedder you vant it or nicht, und if you make a lot uv money, you vill pay for somebody else who makes less." Is that Americanism? Not as we've known it under a republican form of government. No, it's pure Socialism, and I don't want to live under Socialism, even if I am 80 years old and would likely benefit as my health probably deteriorates in whatever years I have left. Of course the insurance companies are probably all for it, since their congressional friends will see to it that they make out like the bandits they are.
