I don't ge...It was indeed a better blog". I don't get around the way I should and used to but I never fail to love being here and seeing what you have to say, Paul. This one was as they all are, interesting and I can sure agree with you after having read what you said regarding space in the city. Olympics would never work. The residents and workers in Boston proper and outlying areas would be horribly inconvenienced never mind the influx of olympic personnel! Not a good idea at all. <br /><br />There is not a whole lot worse than the pangs of having the work place change either thru sale or a change of management. And why does it seem that it's always for the worse? Not change per se, but truly the "new" ideas and styles of management are done by people trying to make a mark for themselves, and the heck with who they hurt in the process.Katie Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298277081648176277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186139296863342205.post-28530383643171044912013-03-14T10:19:21.620-04:002013-03-14T10:19:21.620-04:00Yes, Boston is crowded already and it seems ludicr...Yes, Boston is crowded already and it seems ludicrous to even consider such a huge event being held there. In fact, all of the great cities are becoming very overpopulated - for instance, Myrtle Beach SC where I am, and where the ocean is beautiful and photo opportunities of taking nature and sunrise photos are still optional. In my opinion, it's a jungle in the tourist areas however and the traffic is horrendous during tourist season (which is almost all year now)!nookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620086823470717410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186139296863342205.post-22332216809623350852013-03-13T11:47:53.696-04:002013-03-13T11:47:53.696-04:00Congratulations on your friends daughter.

There is that old saying "if it isn't broke, don't fix it". Had a teacher friend who always said when the schools changed so drastically at tims, "Don't throw out the baby with bathwater".

I wish her success. <br />Your store chain sounds like the pig farm chain here. Not quite the same BUT it has been sold 4 times in 9 years. Some rich guy's corp buys it and brings it up in sales and dumps it for more than they bought it for. Sounds like the stock market. Have a great week Paul. At our age life has become more interesting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08888669064467961669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186139296863342205.post-13046911336490887952013-03-11T21:21:47.952-04:002013-03-11T21:21:47.952-04:00Big Congratulations to Arlene's daughter. She...Big Congratulations to Arlene's daughter. She is right at the top to be accepted at Harvard!<br /><br />My son in law keeps talking about retiring too. He is 60 and my daughter is 55. He will be able to retire at 62 with reduced Medicare benefits. That sounds ok in theory for him but my daughter would have 5 more years before she can get benefits. I don't think he realizes how much they will be paying for insurance.<br /><br />As for you, if you can get a good supplemental insurance at age 62 I would say go ahead and retire. Life is short and the best years that Jim and I had were after he retired.<br /><br />Take care Paul!! Please pass along congrats to Arlene's daughter, She deserves a lot of accolades.<br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020604933621899108noreply@blogger.com
