    Agree. I’ll use the seamaster with the rubber band most of the time. I’ve really liked the rubber band. This one is more for when I have to dress half decent.

    New Speedmaster showed up today. Definitely need the leather band for it when it comes out this summer.

    You sure run to the moderators a lot. Maybe just read some threads, post some responses, and move on with your day. As far as travel, trying to decide on an island spot the end of next month that we can get into and back out of easily. All are vaccinated so that part isn’t an issue. May end up just going to the Keys for a few days for simplicity, but I need to start seeing what each of the islands is requiring for in/out travel.

    That looks like a whole lot of not much fun.

    We ordered ours back over the winter. Wife spent a small fortune on the furniture, we’ll see how well it holds up versus the cheaper stuff we normally have used. Hopefully it will be here in the next week or so as we’re finally getting towards the finish line on this project. We’ve been waiting on the right color replacement travertine to come in and then we should be done.

    Temporary housing would as it’s no different than a relocation bonus. Most of the actual moving expense would not be included.

    They can’t that I know of from a check, the efile had to be set up to draft which means you are probably going to double up.

    Is your new employer legit and know what they are doing, parts of the move should have been nontaxable if handled correctly.

    $1100 is related to unearned income, earned is $12,500 cutoff.

    You can only make up to $6k a year non deductible contributions. You can convert whatever you have in nondeductibles whenever you want tax free as long as there isn’t an IRA out there that has deductible contributions in it. Lots of people make two years non deductible by 4/15 then roll both at the same time.

    Omega guy called yesterday and they had a blue face Speedmaster come in, so it should be here Tuesday. Blue leather straps haven’t come out for the new ones yet, so went with the metal band for now. He’s going to call me this summer when the leather comes in.

    I’ve lost interest in going places I went on ski’s in the past. Kids, work, etc made me rethink how far I was willing to go and how long I was willing to be out recuperating. I’ll still ski the bowls and the backs of the mountains, but I go slower and I’ve definitely turned down the intensity. I also try to avoid the crazies blazing a trail down the mountain. I don’t go enough to run some of the stuff we did in the past.

    I believe it. My business partner still doesn't have his F350 he ordered in October. Ordered my 250 in September, I’m into mid May now on expected production. It has dropped back 2.5 months since they first sent me the build notification in early February. Dealer has contacted me multiple times asking if I would be interested in letting the order go. He wants to put it on the lot I’m sure.

    My youngest is none of those things, she will either be at free community college, a state school with cheap tuition, tiktok famous and making more than me, or jail maybe.

    Both of mine will leave the state and most likely the south (unless UNC works out) and probably not come back which I’m good with. Maybe it has always been that way, but a lot of the graduating classes from their school end up in the northeast in school. She and her mom got together and decided to meet with a college coach. Her high school has 3 college advisors for a class of about 70 which seems like plenty to me, but I guess this is a new phenomenon that has been added to the mix. Hopefully, it’s not the Aunt Becky version that requires me to write a massive check to gain admittance.

    Coin flip between Acuña and Tatis. Hate picking 1.

    I’m not even looking for the ones that aced their tests, I’m looking for the ones that had a life, hopefully made decent grades, and can sit down and talk to you in an interview. We’re not Big 4 (they can have all the 4.0’s) but we’re right on the cusp of Top 100 firm size. I left my first school with a 1.7 GPA after my first year, got married and finished out the next 2.5 years strong to get me back up in the low 3’s.

    She forgot to provide her number.

    Speaking of T-shirts, I was standing behind a young lady in line last night and the back of her t-shirt said “Text me when you cum” in great big block letters on it. I just had to shake my head.

    This whole process has become overly convoluted and the number of schools a lot of these kids appear to be applying to makes it even worse I suppose. If they have the test scores, it makes sense to apply early to the top tier schools you are looking at and get it out of the way. If you get in you’re set, if not you have plenty of time to get the next round out. It looks like the top schools are limiting applicants to only apply to the one school early though, so that may start tightening up too.

    Psychology, she wants to go to law school to practice in some area of child welfare, so she needs to go where I don’t have to pay.

    Even if I agreed with the majority of professional jobs being located inside of those areas, I don’t agree with the majority of those jobs requiring a high end degree. It’s a subset of that population working at specific firms. I’m not going to look it up, but the number of graduates from those high end institutions is a fraction of the overall graduates out there. We’re off in the weeds at this point. Shoot high, if you get there you’ll have a few more doors open for you. If you end up at Podunk U, your path may look different but finding success can still be had.

    For clarity purposes: The name on the diploma is over valued in most discussions. Outside of a few specific industries in the largest NE and west coast markets and a few major population centers in between, it doesn’t much matter where you go to college. If you disagree with that at this point, I don’t much care.
  24. Brew
    Good advice. We’re working bottom up on your list. She has her lottery and reaches (Northwestern, UNC, and a couple of others) pretty well laid out and is working on the gimmes. She’ll graduate top 5% in her class with a mid 30’s ACT (at the moment) and plenty of the check the box stuff. She’s going to have to shoot for academic scholarships wherever it is, I’m probably writing checks if not.
  25. Brew
    Not even close, although I should have been more specific to big law, Finance, tech, and a few other high end specialties in those markets I suppose. For some high percentage of people that I’m not going to put a number to, it doesn’t matter where you go.
