  1. Thread title isn't right, I am not excited to vote for the Democrats. But like the last election, I saw to much of Trump as president and I will vote against him. I was at home with covid and watched January 6th unfold, and doubled my I will vote against trump sentiment. He is a snake oil salesman, he is only out for himself, he has no regard for the military, especially disabled vets, this list is mine and it could go on and on and on. And my father, a lifelong Republican, who was elected, as such, several times in local elections, is turning over in his grave seeing what has happened to "his" party.
  2. There you go bragging. My first job didn't have paychecks, because the owner put cash into pay envelopes, and it was a big deal when minimum wage rose to above $2.00/hr. I do not have any of those pay envelopes, but my social security account says I earned $77 in 1973. Now this is how you do a humble brag! full disclosure - my first job was pumping gas, washing windshields, stocking coolers, cleaning the bathrooms, and mopping floors (if it was the closing shift). And we got a free cookie and a candy bar, which was not reported for tax purposes. And we would take and extra coke (later it was a beer) which was not reported to ownership. Yes, I am a criminal, running loose in America, may god save my soul.
  3. Some people are actually surprised that the Trump at McDonald's was staged https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/0Kfe8qYg1l Like they thought he walked into a random McDonalds and said hey let me scoop some fries and work the drive thru
  4. page 1 prediction UT Horns 47 Vandy Commodes 13 passing yards 350 (aka tree fiddy)
  5. Just flipped to this game; looks like OUsux sucks at football. Of course they would do that today, as they are good at sucking cocks
  6. My favorite left behind story is the PAC 12, where they will play 1 conference game this year. Of teams I root for don't win the Natty this year then I'm pulling for the best chaos which to me means OSU/WSU winner ( I know a lot has to happen, but let me live my own fantasy)
  7. Did you mean for the internment camps for non-MAGA supporters, oh wait the actual military could be running those
  8. Alexa - translate this to English
  9. We aren't quitters, did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
  10. Psst - PGA 2025 your actually started in January, they did away with the shoulder/carry over season. These events don't get FedEx points, but somehow the results can get certain players opportunities in 2025 & of course $$$
  11. No, you missed the in the trees part. That indicates the level of violence dodged out by the storm and/or how big the storm surge is into areas of significant population. It's a nuance thing
  12. Get back to me when there are bodies in trees
  13. don't jinx this stupid market that seems to be oblivious to a lot of things - just enjoy the ride
  14. Looks okay to me; I'm thinking that @CHAD BRISCOE was involved in the engineering of that sea wall
  15. good try - now send us $250 for creation of a client file and your first 1/2 hour consultation; and be glad there isn't a $7,500 retainer involved here.
  16. should be tree fiddy, same as the website
  17. Texas 45 OUsux 10 Rushing horns 226, landgrabbers 92
  18. They really can't, because it is a pro-am, and it would be 6+ hour round of half the field had to play in open conditions, plus weather plays a big part there.
  19. I think it would be awesome to plan a weekend outing playing the Dunhill Cup courses, and drink some scotch.
  20. Here is my bye week production OUsux, oh wait - my bad that isn't a prediction at all
  21. Sit down and let me tell you a story. I had a plan, had a could of people look at it, and with minor tweaks it was all good. I've hit level 1 max for almost 20 year, and that is making sure to get max employer match, there was a period of 10 years I hit the 401k max, then about 5 years ago I took a job that offered more life balance and that was great, but I didn't max the 401k. But I've always invested fairly aggressively, S&P 500, a couple of growth funds, little in bonds...and that has done well. The plan was that I would continue to do contact consulting until 70, because a) it maxes or SS, 2) I really like most of the clients I've worked for. Mrs Fairway was going to with to 65, and get Medicare, draw her SS until I started to draw at which point she'd get an increase to 50% of mine. And we be set, even if we made it to 100. The Mrs Fairway gets a cancer diagnosis (see the cancer thread), and she may be done working, I've shifted my contracts to someone else. And although we are "comfortable", there are a couple of financial unknowns, that can wait until we know where she is with the big C. The moral is, didn't wait until later to start investing, pay your future self first because you may not get the choice about when you do contributing or when you will need to pull money out. Good luck, let time be your friend in inventing, and only speculate with a small % of portfolio.
