I selected a file from my computer (choose file and navigated to picture), clicked on 'save changes' (or whatever that save thing was, and it said to specify a URL.

65 tomorrow for me.

If you can hold off on collecting SS until you are 70! Check out the difference in collection age amounts on the SS site. ?????ÿ

Hey, guys, can anyone tell me how to change my avatar, or where to go for help?

Ask one of your kids, grandkids, great grandkids or hell, any kid for that matter between 4 and 10 will be able to show you.?ÿ ?????ÿ

Not worth it to hold off until I'm 70.?ÿ It would take 15 years to get the equivalent of how much less I'm getting now in monthly payments.?ÿ But my Pension is what I'm really looking at, and that's maxed out.

Tom, seriously consider buying a "Sunny Rowing Machine", $80 @ Amazon. It's a low impact isometric thingy that will really stretch and tone the old muscles everywhere in your body. I use it about 15 minutes a day since I bought it in January. It's simple to use and will eliminate or reduce a beer gut. Went from 188 to 164 in 7 months no diet. Also it will slowly decrease your blood pressure. ?????ÿ

Ignore that URL part

Wendell has written a Code to Abide Within for the site and Angel gets her whip out on a regular basis to keep us in line.

Good luck.

in State service we call it working for free, when pension take home equals paycheck take home. I'm not there yet. California has a lady in her 90s who has been working since the 1940s, she is working for less than free because she has no cap. My cap is 80% but I didn't start early enough to get that. Cops and Fire Fighters max at 90% which they can attain by 50 in most cases. When we watched Emergency the Battalion Chief was usually a grizzled white haired old FF but most of the ones I encounter now look like kids, mid 30s.

I plan on retiring next year after I turn 60. At that time I will have 41 years of State service in, 29 with my current agency. Not sure if I'll miss the DOT that much given the present climate, but I will most certainly miss the vast majority of folks I work with.

But I will NOT miss the small but distinct number of hardened criminals who always seem to slither their way into public service.
