    @Jolly said in Social Security consideration: Social Security has very good actuaries. It doesn't matter a whole lot in terms of total monies collected, if you start drawing at 62, FRA or 70...For most people. The actual numbers are old. I think I did this calculation about 10 years ago. Assuming a COLA of 4% (LOL), there really is little difference. [image: 1657810417912-screen-shot-2022-07-14-at-9.52.31-am.png]

    Other than humans, I read somewhere that there are a couple of animals which recognize themselves in a mirror, and do not think it is an enemy.

    @Mik said in The Tire Slashers: That's really, really stupid. What happens then is an even more polluting tow truck comes out to change the tires and the SUV goes on its merry way. Silly Mik, you expect these guys to think it through?

    That article must have been taken down. I put up one from the Guardian. Yes, I am aware we have done this in the past, possibly not so distant past. But we don't need former officials yammering on about it.

    @George-K said in Parent vs Grandparent discussions: D4 responds: "He does that every night when he falls asleep lol" I said, "So do I." I never thought it was possible to emotionally scar one's adult children. Now I see that was wrong.

    This kind of thing can happen when the demand for election fraud so greatly exceeds the supply.

    Every time we discover something new our first instinct is to think how smart we are. Then, upon reflection, we realize how little we really know.
