If you haven’t had one this is a treat to look forward to…not. I had one two days ago to test blood flow in and around the heart. I went in casual; dressed for a nice walk on the treadmill. I wasn’t dressed down enough. They gave me an open front hospital smock, which was […]
Britains Daily Telegraph reported yesterday on a remarkable California study of the impact of Etanercept, a drug currently used for Arthritis, on Alzheimers patients. The results appear to be staggering. While initial test numbers are small the results are huge. Get this quote: “and in some cases can restore sufferers’ memories within minutes”. Got your attention? Rather than […]
We all know there are problems looming in both programs so yesterday’s annual press release, or announcement, concerning future shortfalls should come as no surprise. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson basically stated that Social Security will only be able to pay 78% of benefits by the year 2041. Medicare comes sooner with a payout of 78% […]
I found a web site called Topretirement.com that is new to me. This is a site dedicated to those looking to retire in a different location and, in particular, searching for a retirement community. Here you will find retirement communities of various kinds around the country, plus Costa Rica. Community reviews are available, including tips […]

It’s a standing joke in our house that if I’m going to the store for more than one item I make a list. Yes, two is a list. Even for a single item my wife isn’t always sure I’ll come back with the one item I went out for. I’m exaggerating a little, but not […]
AARP is getting ready to launch their new web site with features that are popular in social networking communities around the net. Think MySpace for the aging. This site is easier to navigate than the current AARP website, mainly through the use of tabs and sub-tabs. The old favorite content is there but they have […]
This is a sponsored review of a site dedicated to retirement planning for all categories in a comprehensive plan; it is aimed at both current seniors and those in the planning stages. That site is NewRetirement.com. The centerpiece of the site is a free retirement calculator. This is probably the fastest and easiest to use […]
I’m curious about the so-called Marketing taboo words that people can’t say to Boomers. These are considered insulting, inaccurate or just plain silly. I remember most of these applying to my parents but I haven’t given them any serious thought related to me, until now. Following are the words and my take on it: Senior Citizen: […]
Although not yet a “Senior”, like millions of others, I will become one during the next Presidency. There are many important issues but the fate of Medicare and Social Security will likely be managed by the next President. For this reason I pay particular attention to this topic. In previous posts I have mentioned that […] |
