I've just turned 70 and have not used a penny of Medicare benefits including pharmaceutical drugs.I take natural supplements and stay active.My thought is that those of us who don't run to the doctor every time we sneeze,and don't waste taxpayers' dollars should get special discounts on natural su...

Went to a Senior Center here in Las Vegas, and tacked on the door was a sign " NO GUNS ALLOWED" Now I know MOST senior citizens are not packing weapons, but some of us are.

I am already amused at the AMAC on-line forum. Don't get me wrong: I love it. But it also makes me laugh. First, you can sign-in automatically with Facebook! Really? I am wondering how many Mature American's use Facebook? My wife refuses, but I was on it for a while. About 10% of my high school sch...

I am interested to see if there is any interest as to a 60+ guide to prepping. I see a HUGE difference between a 30 something and a 60 something. At 60 + we need medication,and too many other obstacles to mention in one short draft/questionaire. If there is real interest,then by all means lets explore...

I wanted to write a comment on the cover of the Spring 2014 AmacAdvabtage. It says on page 6 that there some page called 'Sound Off", or "Speaking Your Mind" where a person can put a 'letter to the editor'. Well, I sure can't find it!!! Very annoying. Any way, I found the cover of the Spri...

In a conversation the other day, a friend told me that if I had VA access (I am a Vet, and I use the VA), I did not have to pay for Medicare, which is deducted from my Social Security Check every month. Can anyone tell me if this is a fact?

The wife and I went to Wal-Mart today to get some cloth diapers for our coming grandson. Our daugter-in-law wants to use cloth rather than disposable, and we whole heartedly agree. She said make sure they are "Made in America". There was no doubt in my mind that cloth diapers made in Ame...

I joined AARP twenty years ago. A few years later, I contacted them and asked about their very liberal stance on so many issues. They responded, telling me that the organization had no political stance, but always polled the members and adopted the majority position. That did not satisfy me for long,...

I am truly a member of a small, hopefully growing, minority: a Jewish conservative. I was an AARP member until two years ago, when I joined AMAC, my new "family". I fully support the conservative view of faith in God and His gift to us - the Ten Commandments. I feel the anguish of many christia...

Everyday an animal is born and someone has to care for it. By caring for the animal you make it into a pet. You provide the food, shelter and medicine for the animal. Then there are other expenses like toys, treats and training. If a person were to provide poor conditions for their pet, then they would be...

I know there are not a lot of people that hunt, or target shoot that are members here, but the sneaky way both the house and the senate are plotting to restrict the sale of ammunition will hurt those of us that do hunt and target shoot.

Interesting that the President wants to raise the minimum wage. Sounds good to the worker, but in reality may be a death notice to alot of workers. The owner of a business has to consider many things when it comes to giving raises. What is the cost of the raw materials to make his product? What wage is he...

Times are changing. Times are getting tough, and possibly will get tougher.

He will not introduce anyone whose life has been saved by a gun. He will introduce ex-Congresswoman Gabby Gifford, but...

Have been reading up on survival techniques. If a person gets all the stuff they say you need, they could never carry it any distance. Living in a city I think is a handicap for survival.

Skunk A simple game, played with two dice, which requires a score sheet. Play: Each player in turn throws two dice and continues to throw the dice until either a 1 (skunk) is thrown or they decide to stop. If a 1 (skunk) is thrown they score nothing for that turn. If they elect to stop before a 1 (skunk) i...
