Both my parents took it early but I mean 5 years early - sm
as you are only talking a year I would wait as you will get more money in the long run, versus taking it a year early. Remember it stays at whatever it will be when you take it early the rest of your life. So if it is $500 at 65 but $600 if you wait, I'd wait. My mom started drawing it at 62, she died at 68, so if she had waited she would not have made up the difference; so in her case it paid to take it early, but most of us don't plan on dying shortly after retiring.
re: lunch while typing
Just FYI....NEVER try to eat ramen noodles while you are typing!!! Not a pretty site...LOLOLOL...just a thought to lighten the load!!! hehehehe
typing stand
Does anyone have any idea where you can find a typing stand like the ones we used for typing class?  I'd like one with a ruler or something attached to keep my place on the document.  I'm having a really hard time locating this item.  Any clues?  Thanks!
as i am typing, i bet it is getting deleted
I cant believe it has been on here this long!  I am quite sure that it is going to go fast. By the way, look up the EU, European Union.  Go to Google and Images and check out the building.  In front of it is a statue of a woman riding a beast.  Also, their seats for the congress/senate or whatever they are called are numbered, going up to 800 or something.  all filled up with the persons name, except number 666 is empty. 
I have had a drink while typing but ....sm
usually just one and I don't get drunk.
typing speed
Go to Google and type in typing speed. There are a bunch of things under google. You can take typing tests to see  how many words per minute you are typing.

Please excuse the typing errors...
All I have heard today is "The patient had a giberishgiberish condition that includded gibberish, cough, hack, sneeze gibberish." You get the point.
what happens when you stay in typing mode

Had to share.  Friend of mine has two sisters 1 with a 2y/o and a 5 mon. old and the other with a 1 y/o.  First one thought she was pregnant again.  Second is just a snooty lil'heifer.  Anyway she was IMing me about an hour ago.  We were talking about her new job and right out of the blue said..."brb phone".  Then came back with "my flu infested sister calling to see what I got for VD".


I had a fit and said. "Serious VD?  OMG your mom will die.  Why drive 80 miles for some medicine, why not go to the doctor...I cannot believe she of all peope has revealed that information."


She cracked up and came back with


"No stupid...Valentines Day!"


Priceless...  I would have never gotten Valentines Day from VD...Maybe VD on Valentines Day!   Sometimes you've just got to give it a rest!  Must get more sleep!


I also watch while typing or at least try to eat lunch then
I read that the audience will slowly find out who all is in the accident. Like yesterday just about Nick, Sharon, and Jack. I know Cane, Katherine, Lauren, Paul, and the lady cop (can't remember her name). also Victoria (we already know this), JT, and I suppose Adrain. What about Amber? Not sure about her. I think I saw her with blood on her in a preview.
Need a little YouTube break from typing? - sm

Then take a mini-tour of San Francisco, the way we skaters like to enjoy it!

I have bifocals for reading & typing, and although - sm
I'm perfectly fine driving without glasses, I have some driving glasses, which just makes it a little easier to read street signs from distance. It's to correct astigmatism. I could also have gotten trifocals, but someone I knew with them said he had them and never could get used to them. I also chose the bifocals with the line, rather than the lineless ones. There was supposedly a good reason, although I don't remember why!
Happy Birthday...keep on typing
I'm 72 and still typing..:-)
No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!

Studies show typing doesn't cause it, but
the mouse isn't great for us. But you can protect your median nerve by using typing gloves like SoftFlex, which have little pads that protect the nerve when you rest the heel of your hands.
I'm concerned that you were typing & weren't watching your 6 yr old.

I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here.  My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this.  It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Hopefully you use an expander, and aren't typing it all from scratch? NM

grammar mistake above, typing while angry again!
Gotta learn to count to 10.
Help! Was typing along and hit something to make paragraph symbols appear all over document. nm

Yes!! I get extremely bored and have trouble staying focused on typing. sm
Some days I am so bored I dont know how I am going to get through the day!!
One time I was typing on a calm Sunday evening and my son came into the room...

said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy,  I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm.  Bike was also unrepairable.  By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one.

Too early for me
not an entire hair but head-full of hair.
Get up early
I have a 20 month old and a 4 year old and have been doing this since they were born. I have their toys in the same office and have them confined to a couple of rooms of the house. I get up early and get a good part of my day in before they even wake up. Then, I take a break for lunch (breakfast, get dressed, etc.). Then I finish up the rest while they play or watch cartoons. It really works out pretty well, although at times it is trying. I just try to remind myself it is better for them to be home with me.
It was in the early 90's
And that hospital was known for its psych ward, and just happened to be the closest one to where I worked.  I don't recall what tests they did (but they didn't want to do many on an ER basis, I remember that, so they were pushing me to become an inpatient).  Mostly they just sat and asked me questions, decided it wasn't life-threatening (and possibly not even "real').  Maybe I sounded crazy because I was scared enough by it to go there in the first place.  As they took it so lightly, and I realized I could function with it (though it was distracting), I decided to just let it be.  I was embarrassed because nobody I knew had ever had something like that, and it did sound "crazy" when I started telling people it felt like there were worms or bugs crawling beneath the skin of my scalp and face...and now the ER thought I needed the psych ward....so I decided to quit talking about it.  Which turned out the be the thing to do, in my case.
Early as possible
Consequences of choices should be taught as soon as they can hear. This is an important concept in so many ways. It is basic and teenagers grown-ups who have not learned it in childhood don't usually commit suicide over an insult even though they may have major problems with "shaking it off." I believe, again, that there was more than meets the eye in this case. If you never learned in childhood you should make it your priority to learn it now and share it with everyone you know. This was not a "gesture" of suicide, which is often a reaching out for help and/or attention. The method chosen was lethal.
Thank you - can you tell me what the early (sm)
signs or symptoms were? I do let my son pretty much wear what he wants and have his hair how he wants. I have been asking him to get it out of his eyes and I don't want to let him wear old shirts with stains but I'm very lenient with him. When the clothes are in the laundry though, there is not much I can do. I guess I could put him in charge of making sure they are clean? As far as early symptoms, was it anything like this? My son would get very upset if I moved any pictures on the walls or rearranged any furniture and he had a fit if I got my hair cut enough that he could tell a difference, this was up until he was about 5 or so. But he is a very good child, never really gets in trouble, has friends though he is very selective about them so has just a handful.
No, she's in her early 30s.
I love Grey's, too - Thursday nights, my work has to wait until it's over - completely addicted!

Through the rumor mill, I also heard that Patrick Dempsey was going to leave the show because he wanted more time with his family and to further his movie career. If that happens, I'm not sure I'll still be into it as much, but Eric Dane would still be a pretty big pull.

We usually go end June or early
July, but this year we waited until the first week of August and was already better on crowds!
Early August in AL
August 7 in the Prattville AL area.
Absolutely no way. I am in my early 30s and......
have a secret crush on my dentist who is in his 60s. Younger guys are too immature and don't know a thing...
Yes I am sure, retire early and take your - sm
benefits at a reduced rate. This is from the yearly SS Statement I get in the mail. Also in teh "Before you decide to retire" section; "If you choose to receive benefits before you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be permantely reduced. However you will receive benefits fora longer period of time." (in theory of course). This is from my statement dated August 20, 2007; I kind of doubt it has changed. I remember when my parents decided to take it early; they did not really need the money but figured what the hey, and in my mom's case it worked to their benefit. You need to do the math and figure out the year to income ratio of the difference, etc. In my case, if I take it at 62 I would get $640 a month, wow; but if I wait until I am 67 I get $914-- $274 is not a huge difference but it is to many; and a fair amount to me even now. If I wait until I am 70, I get $1134 -- $220 more a month; now I doubt I'd hold out for that, but I guess it will just depend on my health and financial situation at that time. In order to make that money/break even on my benefits I'd pass on until I was 70; I would have to live until at least 82 to have made the 32K I would have gotten had I taken the $914 at age 67. ---So in my case I sure I will take it at my specified age of 67. I like working and keeping busy. Everything will be paid for then, so I am sure I will be able to live on earnings from a PT job until I decide to collect SS. But I have a ways to go as I am only 42!
No wonder I got my period early!!
:)
My doc says it's early hearing loss. sm
I went in 2 weeks ago for my check up and complained about the ringing in my right ear. He said it's early hearing loss and if it bothers me to see the ENT and get a hearing test done. LOL-like I have time for that right now.
Central PA ~ It's been snowing since early a.m.

Could get up to a foot at least from what I heard.  So don't like hearing that!


I am talking very early 60s and only available for married
then, was told that by a physician who said could not prescribe UNLESS married, in fact the year was 1962. I have no idea when Planned Parenthood started but as a young girl had no knowledge about that. Things have changed for females so much over the years.
Have guy cousins in early 20s and my nephew
is 17. They shop a lot at Macy's. We're in the NY area. Apparently certain brand names are "in" like Ecko, Sean John, Polo, etc. but can be very expensive. As far as hairstyles, maybe check out the hairdos on some of the clothing/store websites. Here's one from Macy's. If I lived near you; I'd help with the makeover :) Sounds like fun. lol

my Pop died early 2005-have never gotten over it

I love Early Edition...sm

Kyle Chander is such a cutie pie.  Also like M*A*S*H and ER (pre-Dr. Green dying) and Gilmore Girls.


both - early riser and stay up until 1-2 a.m. nm

Yeah, only the nuts go that early; I get up about 8 and go then - sm
my neighbor is going at 4, I told her she was nuts. I don't go to get anything specific though, I just go for fun. I am pretty much done shopping already for the kids, just need stocking stuffers and a few gift cards and I will be totally done. Most of the early bird sales last until noon or 1 p.m. so why kill yourself.
Why does everyone get up so early to cook a turkey? - sm
the only think I can figure is you must eat it at noon. We would get up around 8, make the stuffing, prepare the bird, stuff it and put it in the oven between 10-11. This would be an 18-21 pound turkey, cook it 20 mins per pound, so we would pull it out about 5, then make the homemade gravy (took a good 30 mins to do that), prepare the mashed potatoes, and eat about 6. In between we have a relaxing day of playing board games, watching football or James Bond movies. All I ever see is, mom got in the middle of the night and put the turkey in the oven before we were even awake......either that was one heck of a big bird or they ate turkey for breakfast or lunch. (or else it came out dry as a rock).
Yep - I think it is consistency and starting early! (sm)
I am not 100% opposed to spanking them if they were to just refuse to listen to me, but it doesn't come to that. It did a few times when they were very young and I taught them off the bat that they were not going to win. I'm the mom!
I am taking mine early
I turn 62 in January, and I am taking early benefits. I feel I have been working since I started babysitting at the ripe old age of 11, and haven't stopped since. Got my first "real" job at 16, and other than going to college, I have been working most of my life. I don't know what will happen with Social Security over the next 10 years or so, but I want to take what I have now and enjoy it. It is a good little sum of money and will help so much to pay bills, or put something away in the bank. My husband is semi-retired and his health is not that good, and he took his out several years ago when he turned 62 also, and doesn't regret it. It has helped us survive.
Darn, early in the morning, should have been
part of her hair, not head.
I start early in the morning also
I get up and start at 4 a.m., take a break from 6:30-7:30 to get the kids up, ready and off to school, then come back home and work until it's time to go get them at 3:00. Of course, there are those days where I have to do laundry and clean house on some days!
PA too and our kids were actually sent home early
due to the heat!  We were never sent home for that one.  Spent the day at the pool with the kids and now it's time to work. 
I like to get my Christmas shopping done early.
So, I am happy to see it out early.

How terrible that you would feel that way -- Halloween wasn't out yet (which is not an ongoing gift-giving, love-based holiday) and you are irritated over that while Christmas was.

Shaking my head over that.
