I have been a stringer for a while and I do like the program. I have made a bit of money but haven't thrown myself into the program wholly in order to make the most the program has to offer. I work everyday and have very little time to spare but I still manage a small earning each month. My youngest is working towards moving out on her own, so maybe I will have more time to devote to my onl...

There have been a few times I could have used some assistance but was denied because of my military affiliation so I do not really know how the system operates. I noticed that a lot of people getting help when I applied seemed to know the system inside and out and were 2nd, 3rd, etc. generation recipients. I was advised by a school counselor to become a stay-at-home mom in order to qualify ...

Getting older has given me the ability to take things in stride. I do have more aches and pains, swelling of the feet, etc., but for the most part I feel well. I have also gained a sense of relief because all my kids are finally grown and can care for themselves; I have no worries of what will become of them if I die. I have a greater sense of joy and contentment that only growing older can ...

Oh, he's an old fellow, so give him a break; being a senior can be hard on the brain. You're taking about something that happened a couple of years ago; take his words with a grain of salt if you really think he's having a senior moment. Afghanistan is what it is: if it smells like a rose and looks like a rose, most likely its a rose...enough said; senior memories can serve to protect us from...

Small world, the army took me there too. My late husband was 2nd generation german-american but never actually visited Germany. My youngest daughter was born there. The food is terrific and the scenery is even better. I do not speak deutsch much anymore but I have fond memories to cling to. I am originally from Florida and have considered moving back since I'm from a military town and can b...

I have to admit that I am a little excessive: towels have to be staked in accordance to size, color and pattern; but it works for me. I need order. Even my messes have order. "Everything has a place, and everything in its place" are beautiful words. I admit to being a bit complusive, but what is life without order? LOL! I take great comfort in knowing that others are prone to order too.[em]hap...
