You know, during the school holiday periods. It drives me crazy!
I return to the UK in July and August, partly because 45-50 degrees in Murcia is way too hot for me, and I usually teach "lovable" teenagers in an International school. However, even the budget airlines are quite expensive at thos time, and I think it is totally unjust that the airline companies exploit us in this way.
When I was married with young children we could rarely afford holidays abroad because of the price increases during the summer months, and now as a single teacher, with only the school holidays available to travel generally, I´m still suffering the expense!
Not sure if there is a great difference of weather between England and Spain,but if you travel in the winter.......you will find that the rates are quite reasonable and it`s not generally as crowded {if you can}...For instance when you leave the Northern hemisphere in the summer you will arrive in the Southern hemisphere in the winter and vice versa.Typically the best rates are based on the prevailing weather in the destination country....
If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear the sound...is there actually a sound? So we could say if no one remembers your birthday did you actually get any older? How do you like that convoluted logic?
one day when I write my memoir I will tell about my sweetheart and the fact she left a scar she was like the lady that left Bogart and she was my star except the hole she left stung like a dart I`m only here to tell of the hurt that tears at my heart so next time I will be on alert and now I weep like Mozart
The Immigration Act of 1924 further restricted immigration, changing the quota basis from the census of 1910 to that of 1890, and reducing the annual quota to some 164,000. This marked the end of mass immigration to America. The Immigration Act also provided for the examination and qualification of immigrants at U.S. consulates overseas. The main function of Ellis Island changed from that of an immigrant processing station, to a center of the assembly, detention, and deportation of aliens who had entered the U.S. illegally or had violated the terms of admittance. The buildings at Ellis Island began to fall into disuse and disrepair.
What else is new...? Every time they crank up the printing machines it is worth less and less.....it was never intended to fully support retired people.I feel for people that don`t have assets to draw on except SS.........Dog food anyone?
I could care less about carrying a mobile phone.I was in business my whole life and probably was one of the first to have one.But,after I retired I really saw no compelling reason to carry one all the time{I`m probably somewhat addicted to this silly computer}....Now days the only occasion that I carry a mobile phone is when I travel by car on a jaunt now and then in the event that I have car trouble.When I go out of the country which seems to be quite frequent I don`t carry a phone and it suits me just fine.Hell......I don`t even wear a watch....
The above is without a doubt the essence of what we are talking about here.If each one of these forces regardless of origin were to advertize the complete details of what they do and where they do it then they would not be effective as a "special force".
I honestly don`t know the reason for this,but that has been my experience.It may be that engineers tend to get too technical and school teachers too theoretical ....
A little advice....If you are looking for a suga mama you need to start giving out the kind of sugar that women are looking for...it is probably sweeter than you are willing to give...

RE: where is best warm, cheap and safe place to retire?
I don`t blame you for wanting to get out of Canada...The last time I was there they searched my car for guns and ammo going over the border last year.
