No worries :D

Bear, watch it, I remember that circus. Of course I was knee high to a grasshopper when they came around, but still, I remember.

Be good, I'm feeling about weird about turning 40 in less than two weeks. :(

I didn't think this would bother me, but it does. Whoda thunk? Age is just a number, you're only as young as you feel, blah, blah, blah, but the truth is, I feel 40. :(

Sigh. Ya, I'm feeling sorry for myself again. What happened to my 20's? Where did the 30's go? Before you know it I'll be 6 feet under, only a memory.

Again... sigh, and a :: pout, pout, pout:: thrown in for good measure.

Just remember your german. Age is just a number of respect.

I refuse to do it today. I feel crappy enough already, I don't need a headache to top it all off.

I'll stay here in my safe zone, v2 all the way. Boo you! :)

How much respect do I get at 40, because so far it's not working. ;)

I'll get over it, but wait until I turn 50, I may be in a corner sucking my thumb and crying. No offense to those over 50. :o

I just feel too young to be 40. The 20 something's don't help. Sneezy has been calling me old for 3 years now, little bugger. I did remind him that when he's 40, my little Syd will be his age now. :)

LOL! No, I can't Kit. I do have a nice pension awaiting me from the insurance company I worked for, but other than that, I get nothing. I haven't worked often enough, or long enough (since the kids were born) to collect anything.

It's the RRSP's I'm relying on, and a lottery win. ;)

Of course you'll make it to 40 silly bear.

Also, you still have to come visit me. You promised. Bella is coming next year for 2 weeks, I'm excited, my first AMHD visitor.

All my friends have an open invitation, if they don't mind sleeping on a pull out couch with the bunnies. Not literally with the bunnies. They won't be in the bed with you, but they'll be in the same room. On the bright side, the pull out couch is in our family room, nice size TV, wii and xbox access, a fireplace, and your own bathroom (well, you have to share it with Jared but it has a jucuzzi (sp?) tub).

So, any takers?

I think it's the same as a pension plan, isn't it?

I've never heard of ssi, so no, I don't think we have it.

We barely have pension anymore. Nowadays it's up to the individual to save for retirement because there's no guarantee that you'll get anything for working your arse off for 40 plus years. That's why there are so many 80 year olds working in McDonalds. They can't afford to retire. :(

In the U.S. we have pension plans (private) and SSI (government). The government one takes money from your paycheck and it doesn't matter if you want them to or not. Private pension plans are totally voluntary. Some companies offer them as an incentive. And after those are retirement savings plans you may have heard of like 401k.

Ours is retirement. My husband is already drawing retirement. I'm a few years away.:eek:

Sorry?? I heard birthday, retirement, ssi, pensions, new skin... but all of that was lost after jacuzzi tub!

I wish we had gotten one when we redid the bathrooms... drat. Might have to redo that part of one at a later time.

We do have ssi then, or the same thing with a different name. We do get money taken out every cheque towards retirement, but it's called the pension plan.

We don't have a 401k, as far as I know. I'd never heard of it until I joined this site.

We had our house built so we had many options. We put in the jucuzzi tub because of my back problems. It does help, and it's really nice to sit in a deep tub, jets going. :)

We had to put it in the basement bathroom because of the weight. We live in a bi-level and the basement is nice an bright, very open, lots of natural light. Jared's bedroom is in the basement, as is the family room, the bunny room, the computer corner, the laundry room etc. etc. It's a small house, but it works for us. :)

I'm really glad we put in the jucuzzi tub. Because we did it with the home builder it only cost an extra $200 when we had it built. :)

We'll have to differ on that one ;)

That's awesome that you and bella are meeting up, :)

Yeah I did promise and I intend to keep that promise :)

So hopefully we'll meet within the next 19 years :D

19 years! I'll be almost 60 then! I can't show you around Canada at 60. Can I?

Come sooner, in a few years would be good. Before my kids are grown and the same age as you. ;)

I did say with in 19 years :o

That's what the doctor told old man Gates. He got run over by a motorcycle on the way home from the doctor:eek:

Kit, you'll be around for 40 plus years. :)

I on the other hand probably won't live past 60, it's in the cards, both parents died shortly after 60, so I'm planning ahead.

Boy we're a morbid bunch today. Who started this? Oops, I think it was me. :(
