• I agree completely. I had cataract surgery on both eyes and have moderate to severe hearing loss. I've worn hearing aids for 8 years, intermittently at best since they've never been comfortable for me, and only marginally improve my hearing. Eye surgery has been so much better improving the quality of my life!

• The " broken windows" theory is highly suspect...correlation is not causation. https://news.northeastern.edu/2019/05/15/northeastern-university-researchers-find-little-evidence-for-broken-windows-theory-say-neighborhood-disorder-doesnt-cause-crime/#:~:text=September%2013%2C%202024-,Northeastern%20University%20researchers%20find%20little%20evidence%20for%20'broken%20windows%20theory,disorder%20doesn't%20cause%20crime

• And yet it seems the Paleo and Keto diets are all the rage these days. Though their proponents claim to lose weight and have lower cholesterol numbers, I have a hard time believing these anecdotal results. These meat and fat centric diets can't be good in the long run. I'll stick with the Mediterranean diet.

• Unless you needed the charger immediately, thats a great reason to use Amazon. Probably could have found it cheaper with far less hassle. And with all that driving around, even the delivery would seem to make sense environmentally.

• Good luck with your daughter. Our middle son had struggled since around 6th grade. 4 high schools in 4 years. We had to send him to boarding school his senior year to get caught up and graduate, to the tune of $40,000. Lots of anxiety, OCD and depression. After graduating HS he tried community college but soon dropped out and worked a series of entry level jobs for the next few years. Open heart surgery at age 23 to replace an aortic root and an artificial valve. He drifted for a few more years, lived in a van for awhile still dealing with emotional and physical issues. Finally, after seeing both his brothers getting Masters Degrees and establishing themselves, it lit a fire under Greg. Went back to school, did remedial classes and was accepted into an accelerated nursing program. He excelled in the program, graduated among the top of his class and is now in his second year of being an RN. Just bought a house a few months ago. He still has some anxiety issues but has worked thru so much! Greg is the definition of a " late bloomer". We supported him financially thru his school years, but it goes to show that it's never too late! Sorry for the long post.

• Just returned from a 3 month road trip thru Canada to Alaska and back. We actually made it to the Arctic Ocean and I did the obligatory polar swim, (more of a dunk). The best thing about being home is returning to our daily routines! Walk the dog in the morning, usually followed by a couple hours of pickleball at our club with friends. Late breakfast/lunch around noon, (we do intermittent fasting). Read HD and a couple of history/political blogs, then maybe some gardening or work around the house. Occasional nap. Dinner around 7. Evenings almost always PBS Newshour followed by Jeopardy and a favorite show or movie. We do lots of roadtrips, like a fall foliage trip in a couple of weeks up to Vermont, so our routines when we're home are nice to come back to.

• I didn't use any calculators because I was afraid it would tell me I COULDN'T retire😉. Seriously, I just did back of the envelope estimates, and 8 years later, all is well.
