of being in there are that it's not as "bad" as I feared to be honest. :laughing You might want to consider joining and see if you agree or not. No need to post anything of course.

Driving in March to Miami to deliver my wife's 2007 6 speed manual TSX to my brother in Miami. Two of us going. Santa Rosa>Indio>Las Cruces>Austin to stay 3 nights at my nephew's>New Orleans to stay 3 nights with my friend's daughter then solo to Orlando for 2 nights with my friend Ken who I...

in the same Dolby Atmos theater in Petaluma we went to see Dunkirk. If you like the genre definitely consider seeing it on the big screen in a Dolby Atmos theater. The cinematography was stunning and easier to follow than the jumping back and forth in Dunkirk which was also excellent...

Can't find my original thread asking for ideas so I thought I'd give an update. Wife no longer wanted to drive a manual and I didn't want to sell a car I love to just some stranger and asked for shipping ideas to get it to my brother in Miami. His beater Solara with slumping driver's seat is...

We decided to give my wife's lovely 2007 Acura TSX 6 speed manual to my brother in Miami who is driving a beater Solara. Only 90k miles so has many more years to go. We only asked he pay shipping and we got a $1300 or so quote from RoadRunner but I'm guessing that is in the bottom row of an...

I've never had a dog, just cats, but dogs do seem to like me a lot and this story was especially touching. "Dyngo served three tours in Afghanistan before retiring to Washington, D.C. THE STORY OF DYNGO, A WAR DOG BROUGHT HOME FROM COMBAT I brought a seasoned veteran of the conflict in...

like Medford Rum. Ran across them reading this article while my wife was in Chemo, (she's doing great). https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/mad-scientists-booze-recreating-spirits-going-back-era-paul-revere-180971630/ She's already reserved some of the Whisky! :laughing They only ship to...

Thinking of getting one for future planned power outages. Would use it a few hours at a time spaced over the day to keep the fridge/freezer from defrosting. Wouldn't have it power it all day as it likely wouldn't even last a day. Trying not to deal with gasoline. I have a friend 5 miles away...

Why am I not surprised the depths some wealthy folks will go to in order to game a system designed to help the disadvantaged. "More for me now" seems to know no bounds with some. :thumbdown...

I always wondered who the benefits flowed to. Why am I not surprised? "Corporations describe the practice as an efficient way to return money to shareholders. By reducing the number of shares outstanding in the market, a buyback lifts the price of each remaining share. But that spike is often...

Sure there are some valid reasons to claim before 70 but if you are able to wait you absolutely should. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/americans-lose-trillions-claiming-social-security-at-the-wrong-time

Condolences to family and friends of Mr. Ogden. "Saturday morning, about 11:15 a.m. two motorcycle riders collided head on when one crossed into the other’s lane on Knoxville Berryessa Road, Renspurger said. Rider Nirahn Luangrath, 38, was riding north near Spanish Flats when he moved into...

I don't think folks realize what the true costs and what the opportunity costs are. We had one child, and it was certainly the highlight of our lives and still is, (she's 34 now), but we were financially "stable" and in our late 20s before having her and had we had a second would have been...

I've thought the same thing for a while now. "Fast forward to 2006, when a small Chinese diesel-electric submarine surfaced well within torpedo-firing range from the 80,000-ton Kitty Hawk, having gone undetected by the carrier and her escorts. That incident ought to have been a loud wake-up...

Nothing to see here, move along. "Nine years ago, citing data from a pension watchdog group, we took note that there were 9,111 retired state and local government employees collecting pensions of at least $100,000 a year from the California Public Employee Retirement System. A year earlier...

:laughing:wtf "More than 50% think they'll be millionaires one day, according to a 2018 TD Ameritrade survey, and more than a quarter of that group believe they'll reach that milestone by age 40. Other studies similarly reveal millennials' optimistic mindset: Investment research platform...

This Forbes article seems to reflect what two of my good friend's found out. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2015/04/27/inside-the-35-billion-addiction-treatment-industry/#2f210e0817dc The first had a daughter, (RIP Laura), who was addicted to Heroin and despite almost a decade of...

This is ridiculous. The youngest of our generation are now 55 with little time to catch up. Hopefully the younger generation will be smarter. "This is hardly the first study to report on Americans’ poor retirement savings. But the IRI survey stands out because it focuses specifically on...

and likely a repost but I searched on BARF and Google. Fascinating, well narrated, beautiful editing. :thumbup https://www.amazon.com/Hitting-Apex-Brad-Pitt/dp/B01INWIFWG
