In terms of retirement, I think it might be easier to begin by determining places we will not live.
I'd like to announce that Helsinki is out. Now I know Jenny didn't even begin to consider it an option, given the average temperature falls well below the triple digits she would like to see, but I argue against Helsinki for two other reasons: reindeer and saunas.
I have nothing against reindeer. It isn't a religious icon issue, or an allergy issue, or even anti-antler issue (say that ten times fast). I just prefer not to have Rudolph on my plate at dinner. Nuf said?
In terms of saunas, that is a religious issue. See, apparently the Finns believe a sauna is the answer to all prayers. They take saunas before dinner, after dinner, before bed, prior to business meetings, and as part of weekly teacher staff trainings...they even build the sauna before they build the summer cabin in the mountains or the kitchen in the home. I guess saunas are their answer to the cold. They basically want to believe for a short while that they live someplace where sweat can occur. I think Jenny's answer to that would be, "Just choose Palm Springs."
So...folks, sorry....but Helsinki is out as our retirement destination. Anyone else have any places that should be removed from consideration?
PS. XMas Eve Eve is on at the DeAmicis House--as always--hope to see you all there.

I'll be there with bells on!
LOL, I deleted the Chocolate Email a couple of times. I could not figure out how a candy could be spamming me. So, this is Web 2.0. Boy, thanks for making me feel ignorant.
As for retirement, not sure why people would worry about locations. We are all going to end up in a nursing home bed anyway. Until then, make sure you all get out there and tear the place up... gently and in an eco-friendly fashion.
You guys find this interface intuitive? How do you get back to the first page? Darn thing!
If you look to the left there is a date bar with drop down entries. OR you could just hit on the title.
Max, I agree with you. This is the first blog that I have ever been on and I fought with it at first too. Not intuitive at all.

What was so hard about that?
And yes, wise Max, we ALSO deleted "Chocolate's" e-mail twice. You would think that someone would want to mention to their friends that they were starting up such a blog, wouldn't you?
Hey--I thought it went out under my actual name. What we need to wonder about is the Internet safety practices of our friends Rosie, Nancy, and Courtney who never questioned, just linked...
Excuse me, I do delete unsolicited e-mails for internet saftey reasons (and because I am tired of reading how small my P%^$s is). I too started to delete Bonita's invite, but the coincidence of the words "Friday Night Crowd" and "Chocolate" not to mention the strong Bonita vibe kept pulling me back. Don't be hating our friends Rosie, Courtney and Nancy just because of our strong intuition and superior deductive reasoning.
Fair nuf, Rosie. (I spell like that to annoy Ted and encourage others to do the same as much as possible--it gets him in the writing spirit).
Hey--ya'll no that to start a new post you hit new post at top right of regular window? Anyone have a nursing home to recommend?
I heard that the County will be rating nursing homes like they rate restaurants. Personally, I like the ‘C’ rated places. They tend to be tastier and I think ‘C’ means cheap. In the nursing home vernacular, I assume ‘C’ will mean clean and caring.
or could it mean crappy and callous?
