what are y'all saving from the wild to deal with coming crisis?

I am also curious why the title of the problem changed from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change".
Was it to confuse the "issue" or confuse the "voter"?

Deb, are you in a position to hold off retiring until you reach full retirement age? You will be losing a ton of money and when you get to Medicare age, part B will take a chunk of your SS check. Also, if you take early SS and have any earned income you will lose a portion of your SS check to that. At full retirement age you could work full time and collect your total SS check. Just a thought.

I will get an advisor first before I retire... But what I am reading if you expect to live another twenty years its best to take retirement early because you will be recieving it longer.

My Granmother is 102 she will be 103 in a few days.... So I can expect to live into my nineties. at least so another thirty years. She drove till she was 94...

and No I have no income....

Almost every source I have seen says the opposite. The amount you'll receive (every single month that you live) is decided by how early or late you claim it. For every year you wait until 70, the amount is about 8% higher. So if you will be long-lived, waiting is best if you possibly can. You can go to (I think it's) mysocialsecurity.gov and see how much you will get at various ages.

Have you signed up on the Social Security website (sss.gov)? You can look at your lifetime earnings and get a projection of what you can expect in your monthly check. And actually you will lose money if you start taking it early (like several hundred dollars a month). Get your information from the Social Security Administration not from someone who thinks they are an expert. And one quick note: if you are selling your jewelry, that is earned income.

the animals around here are acting strange
anyones thoughts?

I think it's probably unlikely where you live, but I have to ask because no one else would think of it - do you live near wind turbines? They are notorious for making people feel uneasy and nervous and causing problems with animals because of the infrasound they produce.

Are Terriers better than cats at catching mice?

I have three “spayed” barn cats. I’m not sure if they’ve ever caught the first dang rat. Matter of fact I’m pretty certain they haven’t. Maybe it’s the spaying, but the alternative? Well, you could just say, it’s either rats or cats.

There is something called a simple pump that can be added to a well but I'm not sure how deep it can pump from. It's not cheap but if the power goes out you would still have access to your well water.

We have a well, as well ( catch that?) But we also have a small, dedicated generator for it in the event of a long power outage, which isn’t that rare. We also have a generator dedicated to freezers as well. However, in the event of a gasoline shortage I’d be SOL.

I was signed up but forgot the password so I requested another.... big mistake.... They MAIL your temporarary pasword to you .... at your home adress... which is sixty miles from here. I had to wait till my son had a free day to send him up to get my mail...

I get my mail about once a year I am ashamed to admit... But I have it ... been too destracted to try to use it.
