I play group sports. I really enjoy them, so I'm not particularly doing it for health. When all the group sports stopped during the lockdown, my step count on my Fitbit decreased drastically and I hardly ever got into the fat-burning zone. I have a feeling the lockdown affected a lot of people...

I have a friend like that with ovarian cancer. Surgeon went into remove fibroids and found ovarian cancer. It's been at least 40 years since then and she's doing fine. Another lucky one.

Me, too! The ending was not great for sure, but it was binge-watch-worthy. (Some things are not meant to be watched in pieces every week.)

Why is your gym membership so expensive ($4715)? Does it include the initiation fee or do you pay that every month? What do you get for it?

My fitness spend was around $250 USD per month last year. No club membership or equipment fee (except for balls/shoes/paddles, etc) but I played in a bunch of volleyball leagues, tournaments and drop-ins. I will be spending much more this year (triple?) as I am fully transitioning to pickleball...

Great job on your migration! Thank you for all the hard work! With the old system, when I typed early-retirement.org on my browser, the default screen that came up was a new post screen. It now brings up the main forum screen. Any way to change my default portal screen to new posts, like we had...

I know, right? I was getting an early-retirement.org withdrawal, and I'm so happy that we're back! (I didn't realize I relied on this site so much for my daily entertainment. :LOL:)

Have you ever watched TV show "Lost"? Fallout reminds me a little bit of Lost. The retro part of Fallout (The Dharma Initiative of Lost) and the past/present back and forth remind me of Lost.

Congratulations on your new A1C number. Great job!!

Anyone watching Fallout (Prime)? My DH absolutely loves it. I enjoy it as well. Very well made. Sci-fi with a retro vibe.

Seinfeld was annoying. The same way Curb Your Enthusiasm was annoying. Then later I found out that they were both created by the same guy. No wonder.

I used to love watching Six Feet Under. I looked forward to it every week. (The original aired on HBO). I think I liked the craziness of some of the things that happened on the show. It had a very unique vibe. I don't think I had watched a show quite like it before then. If I remember correctly...

Don't put real numbers. Put in much lower numbers, like 100K, 200K, 300K, etc. They came back 10%, 20%, 30%. I think this calculator is totally bogus.

Eddie, i agree. You can't really call smelling the roses a life purpose, but you can definitely call that a meaningful activity! Not everyone has to have a lofty purpose.

It took me a few years to find my footing after retirement. I was elated the first 6 minths as i was moving cross country and starting a new life ina new place. Then i hit the "Now, what?" phase. You could say I was kind driven in my career. I think that is just my personality. I always wanted...
