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...

One of them offered you $1M? To date? Or to retain you as a companion or something? I imagine it was done in jest, but I could be wrong.

All I do is shake my head no without stopping, and I hardly even look at them. I guess I'm just rude (or/and in a hurry.)

And many laugh-out-loud moments as well. I really liked his character. The show was quite enjoyable.

That's interesting! I live in Canada and both season 1 and season 2 are on Prime here.

I've just finished watching Season 2 of Tourist on Prime. I really enjoyed it. With Jamie Dornan (50 Shades of Grey) and Danielle Mcdonald (Dumplin') Not a regular crime drama (at all) as it was serious in some places, but comical in some places but not in a cheesy way. The ending of Season 2...

Just a balanced diet in general. Nothing specific. Some kind of meat or seafood, green/red or colourful veggies, grains/bread or potatoes, and a few servings of fresh or frozen fruits, so basically, whole foods without much processed food. That kind of thing. You said a few days ago that you...

Have you started eating more food? Nutritious food? That should definitely help speed up your recovery. And hydrate.

Yeah, one big, important piece missing for sure.

Yeah, I watched the documentary on how that went down. Pretty amazing that that whole deception was not uncovered for so long. I guess we believe in what we want to believe in.

Just to add, Don Henley seems to sing Desperado the same way every time. Not the same as the original recording, but he doesn't seem to deviate at all from one live performance to the next including Howard Stern's close-up performance. I heard that some artists change things up here and there...
