Have to agree with Rob on the “en suite bathroom.”

My most satisfying renovations have always been painting. Anything is better than rental apt white. Those cheap paints are full of clay and look gray and dingy.

being a sociable person in the lunchroom/breakroom is like being nice to secretaries and custodians, or to waitstaff when you’re on a date: it shows your true character and pays off.

hmm. true. tho i never eat lunch with any of my coworkers. i am very sociable with all of them though the rest of the day. i consider my lunch break “me time”

The baby boom generation is the largest generation and the expenditures for them in the current state of medicare and ss will be huge. I don’t think it’s ageism to be worried about how all of that is going to be paid for. The chinese will only buy some many treasuries.

DeLepp -Vietnam? No- I know who the greatest generation was. I also know that baby boomers who fought in Vietnam got the worst treatment of any American veteran ever. I’m sorry to hear you’re decaying (the big C is no laughing matter and I’m glad you’re here to tell about it) but there is an awful lot of ageism these days in general and it’s not healthy for anyone.
