I had mild tinnitus most of my adult life but about 3 years ago my right ear went to a whole different level that was very alarming. Nothing seemed to help, but cutting back on caffeine and alcohol did seem to lessen the intensity of it somewhat. At first I couldn't concentrate, read, sleep etc...

I wouldn't consider myself a traditional birder but I am an avid bird photographer. I have a great appreciation for birds and spend a lot of time photographing them. I just got back from a week long trip to Florida that was exclusively bird photography.

I have come across several Screech Owl nests over the years and from my experience they are one of the more chilled out birds and easily acclimate to human activity.

If you haven't already, get a copy of their valuation report and make sure all the options and trim level are correct. Their report should also list any deductions for wear/tear, condition and any prior damage. Also, you will be able to see if the comps they used are legitimate. Send them...

In the past I have always bought into deep pullbacks but I retired early this year so I now have to be more aware of the remote possibility of buying/rebalancing into oblivion if the market were to take deep dive and stay there. My AA is currently 50/50, or more accurately 52/27/21...

If they wrote an estimate for $13k that was likely a preliminary initial estimate and once the vehicle was torn down and the repair process was underway they would almost certainly have found additional damage. They may have observed some expensive items that weren't obviously damaged but from...

I just noticed I'm on the list for July. You can go ahead and delete my name. I defected to the 2021 thread. Good luck to everyone on the exciting times ahead.

It's hard for me to take $$ from a week or two of market movement seriously when I know it could all be wiped out in a day. Other money "pockets" seem more tangible because they're more stable. That being said times like the last week do tend to put a bit of a smile on my face, figuratively.

I'm assuming you have SS on top of that. You should be golden and FireCalc will confirm the same.

I think all home improvement/contractor work is at a premium now due to Covid.
