By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Wouldn’t it be funny to show our kids how they will age?
I remember as a kid my elderly neighbor would tell me not to sunbathe. She would open her door and holler at me to get out of the sun!
I would promptly tell her that I wanted a tan. She would tell me that I would get wrinkles in my older years. Well, as a teenager I didn’t care about that. I told her I wanted to look good now with a tan. Hahaha
I have gray hair but don’t have wrinkles. I think it’s genetic. My mom doesn’t have wrinkles in her 90’s. Daddy lived to 85, no wrinkles. Grandma either. Grandpa did but he was a heavy smoker.
I do know other smokers who don’t have wrinkles though, even though some people say smoking ages a person. I think it depends on the smoker. Jackie Kennedy smoked and she was beautiful!
reminds me of a brit funning around in a comment section once . he said on his wedding day he happened to remember that someone once told him to look at a woman's mother if youre curious how she'll age . he glanced over at his MIL and said she looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp . :)>
I thought it was pretty funny until I saw myself.
I have a photo of my great grandfather from England. That’s the oldest photo that I have. He was very tall and very thin, very handsome man. I love how they dressed up back then!
I admit I love being casual but it is fun to dress up for special holidays or other special occasions. Some people never dress up and it’s not about finances. They can afford it. They just hate dressing up which is their business though.
hahaha, some say that is true. I look like my daddy, the Irish/Scottish side. All of my brothers are exactly like my mom.
And Cwillie, I have a picture of my grandfather ( who I never knew) with one of his horses.. he looks like a Gypsy King.. many of my relatives have asked for a copy! I love it, it is so romantic looking,, even he was perhaps not so "romantic"..LOL He was a player!
Look at the pay rate that you will receive at 62 according to your income now versus the difference of how much it will be if you wait until 65?
Will it be a huge difference? If not, it's a personal choice. Do what you feel is best. Is it possible to still work part time with your company if you would like to if you decide to collect? That would give you a bit more cash in your pocket if you wanted it.
Sounds like a cool picture! I love looking at old photos. I like looking at the clothes and hairstyles. This generation looks like slobs compared to them. hahaha
Gershun.
It's the Oil of Olay! in my family. I swear my great aunts, grandmother, older cousins, mom and me do not have wrinkles. We should endorse it! Hahaha
None of us had plastic surgery either! I always say to my husband how good certain movie stars look and he says, "They paid a lot for good plastic surgeons!"
Oh, and none of the men are bald. Gorgeous hair! Baldness does not run in my family, neither side, my mom's or my dad's side. No one lost their hair. Baldness is a genetic thing, isn't it?
SS says theyll give me 1100 bucks . i could live fine on that amount . i think it possible a grandkid may be placed in my home . im not seeking that but i wouldnt think of turning it down either . my future is going to be greatly affected by a judge .
Just follow your heart. Pulling for you regarding your grandson.
i just dont have access to the larger picture . i have to trust those who do . i think thats the polar opposite of a self serving narcissist .
Yes it is. You have shown tremendous patience. I have enormous respect for you. Not everyone could be as patient as you have.
a youtube commenter from india said he would prefer our most lawless city or town to his safest . evidently justice isnt always realized in india .
this is the usa and our justice system is the envy of the world . they will be the second and third to know when the SHTF . ( and it will )
