   I know, but I think they still want your spouse’s approval to do the withdrawal. Which is the difficult part – not that he won’t but the logistics of either getting him to notary with his health problems or finding one that will come to the house is a nightmare! AND the fact that my husband does not have a valid, state issued id. He was supposed to get it renew several years ago, but lost all the documents I had gathered for him to take with him – things like his birth certificate, our marriage license and others. And he won’t make any effort to get them replaced!

   “Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.” Can’t live with it (in an overabundance), can’t live without it (in limited quantities).

   Very true – now that I am older, I have managed to acquire the tools I need for the different tasks, but as a young whippersnapper, I used whatever was handy and would work. Like a hard shoe or rock for a hammer. :o)

   We have had a couple of really nice cool, dry days. Some heat starting to come back, but still less than high summer. Really looking forward to fall and winter (hey, somebody’s got to like them! Right?). :o)

   It looks to me like Rose is NOT that thrilled with the hot banana peppers her mom made. Which I find kind of weird. Of course, it is hard to hear tone of voice in text. :o) But the ! after NO seems to indicate some lack of eagerness to receive more.

   About the only cookies I don’t like are ones with raisins (which is weird, because I like raisins – just not in my cookies) or licorice flavored. Those two kinds NEVER tempt me – but don’t get in between me and any OTHER type of cookie!! LOL

   I am glad that I can still be made happy. :o)

   I THOUGHT we were doing ok when I started working for Feds – started putting in the max that was matched by the gov. in a TSP account. Then upped my percentage a while ago. It was looking good – until my husband’s health took a nose dive. I am now the only wage earner and want to retire in 4 years (30 yrs with feds + optimal SS age), but I am out of leave and may have to start using Leave without Pay, which will cut down on my savings/ability to pay bills. He gets disability, but it really isn’t much. I am working on taking some out of TSP and put it in a Roth IRA so I might be able to access it a little easier – just in case. Things are looking a little scary right now.

   In my family we say a man will see a task that needs to be done and will go out and buy the tool he needs for (if he doesn’t have/can’t find the exact tool). A woman will see a task and look around for something that will work if the exact tool is not handy.

    I have never seen GoT, except as trailers, but got the reference. :o)
