    guys over 50 doing maintenance

    I'm 65. I do routine service on our cars and tackle other stuff when it's accessible. Working in tight spots is out for me now because my hands cramp bad from arthritis. We buy appliances without computers and I work on them a good bit. As long as I have room to work I'll tackle things. I still...

    Best way to dump a customer?

    My wife and I owned a rural Veterinary practice for 20 years. It didn't happen a lot but if a person was a continual problem I'd ask them to call someone else.

    Video on not taking social security at age 65

    I'm 65 and still working so I'm not taking it yet. I think it's different for everybody. If you need it definitely take it. If you keep working they'll tax it so probably not. I've heard the arguments for taking it at 62 and I work with a lady who told me it was the worst thing she ever did and...

    Ever Get Injured At Work?

    Wasn't me but I was there. Working late on the farm one night me and another guy were sent to fill a fuel trailer. It had a low tire so we were gonna fill it with propane from the pickup. I was driving so I worked the valve and the guy with me was blowing the tire up. I heard a loud boom which I...

    Yearly X rays at the dental office

    I agree that it's a very small amount but it's still cumulative. I just don't do it because of so much previous exposure. I do get diagnostic x- rays if they suspect a problem.

    Yearly X rays at the dental office

    I don't get prophy X-rays anymore. I had an upper and lower CT abdominal scan awhile back for a twisted intestine. My wife and I also shot rads for years with a WWII US Army surplus field unit. Add to these a lifetime of prophy dental rads and I decided I didn't need anymore radiation unless...

    Any cars you regret buying? - My '14 CR-V experience

    1989 Dodge Dynasty. Absolute junk. 4 speed OD transmission out at 45K miles. Injectors blowing gas at 50K miles. My wife said "I think I smell gas". It was pooled on top of the intake. Ignition switch out around 70K. Rode great though. Last Dodge I owned and I haven't forgotten it yet.

    Mine arent strictly laddered either. I buy at the low end of the sweet spot. I just like to have some maturing regularly so I can keep averaging into the market. European style continuous calls make it hard. Heads they win tails I lose. I just try to buy above 5 percent so I can live with them if
