I’ll make this as short as possible because my actual question is: does anyone have a fixed bridge and if so are you happy with it, does it feel strange, can you eat normally? I’ve had a couple of implants done in the past with zero issues. This time one DDS did it (including the bone...

I bought a house on 46 acres in middle Tennessee during covid. Super nice house, got the John Deere tractor too. Also on the property is a very nice 1400 sq ft guest house, 2/2 with large kitchen and living area. Covered porch, etc. Didn't really "pay" for that house and wasn't sure what to do...

Hi everyone- Back in April I "did something" to my knee, running in the woods with my dogs. It was an impact injury, not a twist or pivot, hurt really bad and I was unable to straighten it all the way despite week of ice, Advil etc. Because of Covid I decided since I could sort of walk I would...

I think there are a small number of members here who are quarantined alone, as am I. Wanted to see how everyone is doing. I’m good, I have dogs I exercise and train each day, read, cook. Others?

It's one of my secret luxuries, taking a short nap a few times a week. I wonder if others do this as well, and most important, do you set an alarm, naturally wake after a short time, or play the dreaded "nap roulette" where you take a nap with the possibility of waking in 20 min or 3 hours?

Sort of a weird topic, but for those who had an account on LinkedIn during your w**k years, once you retired did you close the account or maintain a presence? I have been FIREd for 3 years now, but never removed my account. I feel like its the final step to "really" being retired. Almost like...

So here I am, ER since June this year, happy as a clam. Then I get a call from someone I w&@ked with years ago who is now with a well known and exciting tech type company. They have a position that 10 years ago, maybe even 5 years ago I would have died for. And essentially, it's mine if I...

I am dealing with something and would appreciate feedback or your own story as it relates or is similar to this-- My mom passed January 15 after a fairly long illness, the past year being pretty tough. My parents were married for 63 years, uber "traditional" marriage, where he worked and she...

Being in this category myself, I'm interested to hear what the few members who are not married or in a relationship and have no kids have in mind later when their health gets to the point that those hard decisions need to be made. Do you plan to hire some type of advocate? Other options...

Wondering if anyone else out there suffers or suffered from insomnia and has tried any non medical/medication remedies. I started having severe insomnia in graduate school, I thought when I retired in June maybe it would die down. Nope, same as usual, mind racing, can't seem to fall asleep...

Three weeks post FIRE and I find I have to get a dental implant- cost out of pocket will be about 9k. Worse, it's up front so I will be lacking a canine for about 8 months. They will make me a device that I can wear, has a phony tooth, totally cosmetic but cannot eat with it. Which would be...

For those of us blessed to still have one or more of our parents, how did they react when you FIRE'd? My mom, who was a stay at home mom was thrilled and my dad was and still is horrified. He was a good workaholic and for the life of him cannot understand why anyone would walk away from a very...

Hello everyone! I have been lurking for a bit and have found the site and the members posts to be very helpful. Wondering if anyone else had this problem-- I'm 56, female, single, athletic and yeah I have wiener dogs. Fierce wiener dogs I might add. I am in healthcare, fried, disinterested...
