Sounds good to me. ~ ~ Orz be careful 'up on da rooooof' ....... did anyone else have a song pop in their heard or just me??????? Anyway, when you get back at it again today and you get to humming that song you will have me to thank. Connie, Gayle & Sankie Management say this OT might be all of this week and next. Oh well ... I'm sharing the wealth .... my son will graduate from TI (Training Instructor-Air Force) School next week and since I can't make it to the ceremony I ask my daughter if she could make it? I offered x$$ amount if they (she and my daughter-in-law) can find a good ticket price so she can surprise her brother and create a memory with him. I hope they can find a good ticket price and she go. keeping my fingers crossed Nothing does my heart so good as to see and know my kids are close and staying connected. They had always been so close but up in the marriage years and living in different places has had them out of pocket for awhile. Sorry rambling this morning .... did NOT sleep well and was up late the past two nights, long hours and I'm just kind of mumbling along. I need more coffee and go finish getting ready. Coffee is on and have a great day !!! Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

sankie1 Irvine, KY 68, joined Dec. 2011	Gosh, just reading Sheza's post and it occured to me that I probably could not roll out of bed so early to get ready to go to work. Now that I've retired I have mastered the art of getting up and dressed in a total of 5 minutes. No makeup, rake my fingers through my hair to comb, grab a cup of coffee and ready to start the day. Been so long since I put on makeup I would have to remember how it's done. Doesn't matter now because it is not made to be used as a patching cream and it would just fall in the wrinkles. I just have to remember when I look in the mirror that it's ME looking back and not scare myself to death. Heck, I've earned every gray hair and wrinkle so I'll wear them with pride.

sankie1 Irvine, KY 68, joined Dec. 2011	Quote from fishingmom: just found out the ex is getting married, means he CANT tap into my Soc Sec when I turn 62 but I can still tap into his when I do... suckerrrrr I thought that Social Security benefits from spouse (Ex or not) was due everyone, regardless of marital status. That is if you had been married to that person for 10 years. When I went to apply for mine they tracked the record of earnings for my EX. I did not qualify to draw from his earnings because I would get more from my own account, thus would qualify him to draw from me should he choose the higher payout. If he did choose my account it would not affect my payout at all. Doesn't draw down my payment because someone else is drawing from my records. I have a friend who was married twice by the time she applied. Married to first husband 12 years and was due to draw from him because of his salary even though she was remarried. Tracked her second husband's records as well as her own and she qualified to get her SS based on first husband. Marriage had nothing to do with it because of the 10 year rule.

According to what Ive read and people Ive talked to what you posted is correct. However, if one spouse gets remarried they are no longer entitled to the others Soc Sec. An since Ive had the more stable income I know mine is higher than his. If by chance his is higher (which I doubt) I can tap into his since I have not remarried.

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	that is why oldsters live in sin. If they marry, she will lose her SS and get half of his. Mom was bummed I got divorced at 9 years. Yeah right..I lose deadbeats SS. Half of nada is nada. Second husband worked hard and provides for me still. Tons better than the pathetic draw I would have had working part time. I think he would have to draw his or new wife, not go back onto yours. ?

itemgirl Lima, OH 67, joined Mar. 2009 online now!	OK , my ex draws a disability check now because of cancer. The chemo port left him with a blood clot near his heart weird pains in his feet when he walks, and numbness in his hands. Also he can only see out of one eye and has cateracts on the other. He uses a huge magnifying glass just to read the computer . He is ten years younger than me. He's going nuts because he wants to work. He draws $200. less than I do on social security. We were married 17 yrs. He says he doesn't want my s.s.. He is on datehookup too. He is the one who told me about it.

NO, I was remarried when I turned the age to draw SS and they ran my first husband's acct, my acct, and my second husbands earnings record. I could draw the higher amount of income by using my own account because I had paid in the higher amount than 1st husband and was equal to earnings with the 2nd. Remarriage had nothing to do with it or at least that's what the SS office told me.

igayle Marshfield, MO 77, joined Jun. 2010	I found this A ten-year marriage is also considered to be a long-term marriage by the Social Security Administration. If you were married for ten years of longer, you will be eligible to collect derivative Social Security benefits based on your ex-spouse’s earnings record when you reach retirement age (if you aren’t married to someone else at the time). Those derivative benefits are equal to one-half the amount your former spouse is eligible to collect, based on his earnings over his entire career, including the year after your marriage was dissolved. If you are divorcing a person with great future earnings potential, consider sticking it out a little longer or delay finalizing the divorce until after the ten-year mark So apparently you CAN'T remarry. Have a Commitment Ceremony instead

sankie1 Irvine, KY 68, joined Dec. 2011	HUMM....wonder when that law of remarriage went into effect on SS. I've drawn now for 5 years. Can't say I blame them for cleaning up the rules and regulations because I always thought the being able to draw from a first husband or wife was a big loop hole if you'd gone on in life for the second marriage.

I can draw from his, then got worried that I may have more and he can draw from mine but then read that its all null and void if one marries. So I have NO plans of EVER marrying again so I will check into it. think too I read about VA benefits, if I can get medical off that I may do that too. Its NOT being mean or vindictive, its a legal right to do so. Just wanted to clarify that before someone tries to start saying Im being a gold digger or something.

So grateful to my second husband for providing for my old age since age 60. But, wish he hadnt had to die to draw early.

In KY there is a district rep who holds meetings on VA benefits and if you can find one of those, any questions you have can be answered directly.

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	I checked VA and am above income limits. So have to be pretty poor to receive it. I worked on roof of kitchen next to porch. Those old timers knew things. The roof has a big overhang. The rotted first board was meaningless, as well as the two above. They are on the outside of the wall and never near the attic or house ceiling. So I need to pull one 10 foot 10x and replace, a spliced section and the rest of the roof is fine for decking. I will use treated lumber. Take that ice dams! I was tearing off from an aluminum ladder. Why is it that when you extend, the place you need to stand on will always end up single and not double. Came home and collapsed on the sofa. What the hell is wrong with this picture..I am a 65 year old WOMAN. Why am I not laying on sofa eating bon bons listening to a young MAN complain how he aches. Oh I know..young men dont WORK! And old ones CANT.

Even so life is good, daughter is having a good time with her brother and family along with other family members, she will return home today. I am falling in love with her boyfriend because he is so good to her and makes her happy and he seems so happy doing so. I know he is anxiously waiting for her return home. It is nice to know someone wants to see you the last and first of any situation. He wanted to make sure he saw her off and will pick her up. ~ Full-moon will be Monday and this past Thursday I got a dose of the "tide" that pulls inside of me. (I normally feel it 5 days out.) I lost my composure and I HATE when that happens, makes me mad at myself. - Lose my composure isn't yelling or anything like that, I'm more like an iceberg in the sense there is a lot more anger deep down than what is showing on the surface.

sankie1 Irvine, KY 68, joined Dec. 2011	My day has been spent looking for something that I have no clue where I put. At this point I'm thinking it sprouted legs and may have taken a hike to Alabama with a couple other pieces of my jewelry. The jewelry was from my mothers stash and not worth a lot except to know it was hers. Long time aquaintance which I thought was a friend spent the night a couple years ago and then when she got home she called to ask if I was missing a couple cross pendants. Said she found them in her purse and had no clue where they came from. Yeah right. Anyway, they turned out not to be mine but some yard sale junk she sent to replace. Has not been back and won't be back. Never a step in my house again. Now I'm wondering where the devil the sterling chain link purse that belonged to my great grandmother is. ??? Turned the bedroom upside down today and it's not in here. Oh well, two more bedrooms, the attic, and anywhere else I can think I may have hidden it. In the rampage I've tossed a ton of other stuff and that's all it is, just stuff. Shredded a bunch of old letters, greeting cards, gathered a shoe box full of stray pictures and all that. At least one room in the house is cleaned.

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	I say it is in the other dimension. How else can you look in the same place 6 times and the 7th it is there! I wore a belt around the house. It was not a great fit. I remember pulling out of the jeans. Now found a purse that I could use it for as a strap. So..where??? Did I toss it? 4 days. This am get up and face nightstand and there it is behind the books. Argh! Ok...it was in the other dimension.!!! Ran out of shingles so switch to tuck pointing bricks today on the house. At least I dont have to work off ladders!

mr_hamaker Winchester, OR 70, joined Feb. 2014	I'm constantly finding things after I've given up hunting for them for four days.....and have bought a replacement. Then suddenly....it's there...right where I've looked five or six times before. Other dimension is right !

Also during the plundering I went through the cedar chest, shook the quilts and old linens I have collected from grandmothers, etc. I decided to label them so next generation will have a clue where they came from and/or who made them. Feel really good about doing that. One question popped in my mind. Am I getting ready to kick off? Oh well, getting closer than it has been.

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	Mom did that with the photo album. She said I would never know who her relatives were. Handy. I am doing that..labels on bottoms of stuff. All the stories parents told me..ok,ok..heard them a hundred times. And now...cant remember half of them. sigh.... guess typical kid..in one ear and out the other. I tuck pointed the farm house bricks yesterday. Old guy had told me what mortar was...14 parts river sand with 1 part portland. And dont use it..go 7 to 1 max. This stuff just dusts right back into sand after a hundred years. Geeze! Was portland than dang pricey? Several bricks were totally loose. Plank under window held on each end allowed me to just pull them out and re-brick from bottom up. Got to see inside wall. ????Cardboad type lining? The inside is wainscotting boards. I see lath and strips and then this yellow heavy carboard type stuff. So that must have been put in under wainscot to block winds? Back at it today. I see many spots around the house that can be tucked. I gave up and just bought construction grade grey mortar. Better to have a standing house than a PC one.

shezakeeper_2 Columbia, SC 62, joined Jul. 2013	~ mannnn, I was out of sorts yesterday. Must have been the full-moon. I did my best to keep my fowl mood to myself. I just kept my nose to the grindstone which wasn't hard, it was a very busy day yesterday so there wasn't much time to chat anyway. I think we have had overcast and rain each day since Thursday. A tornado hit in the lowcountry last night (John's Island). Strange weather it was feeling so much like fall and then yesterday was I was leaving work and it was misting rain it was muggy and hot. I guess that should have given me a clue as to the makings of a tornado. Well I better get going. Stay safe out there !! Coffee is on ......

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	Rain all night but worked til dark chinking bricks and got the second hole re-built. And then tried to stand up. OWWWWW. Humbled up to house, back down to lock up barn and house to DIE! Getting too old to crouch for hours tuck pointing bricks. But, now those are done and the mortar dusting out here and there can patch anytime. Call that shingles are in so into town to get. Then back on roof. About time to start to put up the winter plastics and shelters. Now I know why farms had a dozen kids. Of course todays kids wont work so what would be the use.
