Looking for the Friday Night Cake Club discussion.  Can't seem to find it.  If you've seen it, can you share the link with me please.

Thanks in advance.

haven't seen it just wanted to say hey

Good morning K8memphis, Thanks.  Wonder is Cat opened up last night.

i haven't seen it yet -- hope all is well -- it might be under the avalanche here somewhere... :)

no i just did a search and 5/8/2015 was the last one -- she hasn't posted it yet for 5/15/2015 -- so hoping all is well for her et al -- maybe she had a super busy week -- she will pipe up soon i'm sure

All is well thank you.  I hope your having a great weekend and not working too hard. lol

I did a search last night and didn't find it.

i'm retired -- the land where every day is saturday and no cakes allowed hahahaha

That is awesome.  I'm toying with the idea myself.  Turned 62 this year and pondering wether to do it now or wait, With the state of the SS program.  I had planned to wait but now I don't know.

looks like a typo in the title

Oh Thank you Leah, I knew it     had to be somewhere.

the decision was made for me as i could no longer work :( but i figured that it would take me till i was about 72 till i broke even with taking it early --in other words it was the same amount of money if i took it (at the lower rate) from 62 to 72 or if i took it from 66 (at the higher rate) to age 72 -- they both are about the same amount -- i just stretch it out over a longer time frame and then of course am bound to stay at the lower rate all the way through now -- but whatever it really helped me -- didn't have a lot of choice -- and if you are able you can still work part time and draw it too -- 

tough decision to make -- i'm only just now divesting myself of my cake making equipment, some of it anyhow --

Yes, I agree k8, and that is my dilemma.  I don't feel I should retire but I can't make as many cakes as I once could.  Too stressful and exhausting.  Retiring early will put me at a lower age and when I really need that income will be in the years to follow.  What if I can't make any cakes then, sigh.....

i know -- i never expected to retire! my brother and sister are older than me and both still work full time -- it took me a long time to not feel like a big weenie -- i don't know -- no easy answers -- i still wanna work but i know i really can't ugh -- so sometimes i still feel like a weenie -- don't like it can't help it -- still don't wanna believe it -- 

my second to last cake i had to call in some favors and it was a small cake for a beloved friend -- my last cake i had someone already lined up to help me -- 'cause i knew --

just do the best you can -- lighten your load and maybe try to fill in with supplying some nice baked goods for a coffee house or restaurant or a gas station -- nice bar cookies and pastries and quick breads, little pies -- those are a little easier on the stress level -- probably not make as much money but ... six of one, half dozen of another huh --

best to you, cake buddy ♥

Thank you for listening, Take care.  Hope things get better for you.  Sending prayers your way.
