That was what I was talking about, the US. We pay into it with every paycheck. There are some jobs which have their own retirement system so they are exempt from the government & social security. Teachers and the railroad (or used to) I know are some who pay into a different system.

I have read so many more series, which I just love, now that I read on the Kindle. Nothing like finding a new series and being able to read a bunch without having to wait for the next one to be written.

I am the opposite, I can’t read a physical book anymore. I am addicted to the larger font and light. To prevent dropping it on your face, buy a page turning remote. They are so reasonable and make it nice if you like to read in bed and fall asleep. I just prop the book and can completely cover up.

I just read on my Kindle through the library/Libby app. So my hold list is always to the max allowed. It used to be 30 and now it is 20. This has made my wish list extra long now. I usually have 3-4 loaded to read at all time.

Do you have the page turning remote? I love mine when reading in bed. Prop up the book, can be covered up and just click to turn the page. Love it (but takes a bit of adjustment to get it set up correctly).

Retired, laundry is always done, house is spotless, hate TV, hate shopping, I have a gorgeous back yard to sit & read in the summer and a fireplace or bed when cold. I could read double the books but I also am on my phone for hours reading “stuff”.

I read a random selection of books. I used to make up rules for reading, such as read a classic and then read 3 best sellers. Now I just read what I want. After reading something deep or intense I will switch it up and read a memoir or a fluff romance book. Thriller series are my favorite.

I find the more I am enjoying a book the faster I read. If I am not enjoying I slog my way through and the book takes longer to get through. I rarely DNF.

I don’t watch TV anymore but I used to years ago and still read a lot. I also don’t do audiobooks. All books read, I have read myself. I’ve always read fast, even as a child. Insomnia also helps reading more, lol.

I don’t think it has much to do about oil either. His goal is to declare war, which he can put a halt to mid term elections and also he can have sole discretion on other horrid things like declaring martial law which he is dying to do.

Congress better step up and put a stop to this BS! Time for them to actually check their job requirements and not allow 💩 for brains to declare war when it is their job.

My 7 yr old grand daughter many years ago wanted to tell the cook at a small mom & pop restaurant that the grilled cheese was the best she ever had. All the staff thought it was the greatest thing ever, lol.

He just wants a war so he can suspend elections and declare martial law in US among other things.

Because retired people just want back their money (plus interest) they have had taken out of their pay since they began working. They are owed!

Sometimes a month or so goes by and I realize I haven’t left the house. I’m not sad about it either.

I read a lot and I am the same way. I read by mood. As I like a lot of thriller/mystery type I sometimes need to read fluff after for awhile if it was a traumatic book. Favorite book so far this year: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. So good!!

If he knows the names then just do it. I don’t understand why the victims aren’t naming names.

Favorite all time fiction book is: The Charm School by Nelson DeMille. It is an older book. I wish I could read it for the first time again.

Also ask her if she plans to apologize for the way she tortured David Hogg when he was just a teenager fresh from his school shooting. That was horrific behavior. Even worse if you were a mother.

Exactly, if they didn’t nail him on the obvious and easy Georgia phone call case and the stolen documents he will get by with anything else. They waited to long. They should have perp walked him on both of those cases!!!
