And even without the assumption of Social Security payments (neither I nor my husband have ever assumed them, ever, BTW, especially given how entitled upstream folks are and have been, for decades). So long as as we're willing to live as modestly as necessary, and Lord knows that we are both willing and able based on history, it looks as if we're on the right track for, together, achieving a goal we both share: to carry our own weight unto death and to be able to say, at the end of our lives, that there's never been any lie about what our intentions and values were, not to mention how hard we worked, together.rcommalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301180339680504471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-2771566569358195092017-05-25T04:17:57.143-04:002017-05-25T04:17:57.143-04:00There are a number of reasons, looking back at it,...There are a number of reasons, looking back at it, why, way back in February 1992, my husband and I instantly got connected to each other, in just a split-second, at the bar in which we met.<br /><br />Anyhoo.<br /><br />We're celebrating today, despite all of the sad things that are going on and the serious pain that the most beloved family member is undergoing and will be facing over the next four months.<br /><br />rcommalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301180339680504471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-43512079829078842652017-05-25T03:06:01.613-04:002017-05-25T03:06:01.613-04:00I'm 56.
