    Vanguard Customers: Purchasing CDs

    Yes I tried alternate paths. What worked was switching browsers to Firefox. Thanks Everyone. Now it will just be an academic exercise to see how long it takes VG to get back to me.

    Vanguard Customers: Purchasing CDs

    Running Safari on a Mac. It would have to be a resident program, as I have never downloaded any extras on that machine. I can't find anything in System Preferences. I'm not very good at finding these things. Did a Google search and everything that came up under "script blocker" was an added...

    Vanguard Customers: Purchasing CDs

    I am trying to purchase some CDs through my Vanguard account. I got to "buy and sell" and hit the option for "buy CDs" and then it asks which of my accounts will the potential trade come from, and I select that account and then I get a blank page. I am wondering if this is unique to me, or has...

    A Question about Switching from VG to Fidelity

    aye yi yi....I have been a loyal VG customer for decades. Once upon a time I had a "Flagship Representative", who was available when I needed to manage the account (not investment advice, just there to help me navigate the details of the how to set up accounts)...It's been 4 years since I've...

    Principles of Constipation

    I generally don't have a problem, but here are a few things that keep things moving optimally for me: Around noon, I like an orange, a tall glass of water, and 3 capsules of psyllium seed (Metamucil or house brand) I drink a tall glass of water with my vitamins in the AM (just happens to include...

    How worried are you about inflation?

    I am concerned. I have taken what I think and hope will be the appropriate steps for my situation, but who really knows. Of course, one reason I am concerned about it is that I don't have a lot of other things to concern me... Kids are making their own way, I don't work for a living so I don't...

    Anyone wake up and say "How did I accumulate so much?"

    Yes and sometimes I also pinch myself and ask "How did I get so old?" DW and I live on a lake in NY State, and in the evenings we sit on the deck and often ask "How did this work out?" We recently bought a place in The Villages to escape NY State winters. Same question. "How did this happen?"...

    The Older Men Get, The More They Have To Remember...

    We've probably all developed this 6th sense that tells us we are missing something. First we pat all of our pockets, and subconsciously we know we need 3 items (phone, keys, wallet), but if we are taking something else along, say a backpack with our Pickleball gear, then the subconscious gets a...

    Is the Ice Cream Machine at your McDonalds Broken?

    If you watch the video, there is a part where they show TAYLOR'S world wide reach. It's not just a first world problem. They are screwing the 3rd world also.

    Coping with losing ability to do loved activities

    I don't know anything about diving, or the ear problem you describe, but I have an unfortunate abundance of experience with injuries from playing the sports I love. Pulled quadriceps from softball, severely torn right adductor (aka "groin") from a water skiing crash, rotator cuff problems in...

    Photograph Manipulation Programs

    Hi y'all, I have over the years dabble with some photograph manipulation programs, but it's been over 10 years. I think the first one I had was called Photoshop Elements, and that went away for awhile, now I see it has come back again, and I also had a program called Aperture for a while. I...

    What's with everyone running to Florida??

    My knee jerk reaction started 31 years ago when my parents retired and started spending winters on Bonita Beach. It continued when a couple of our best friends bought a place in The Villages in 2006. We visited them a few times, then rented a winter, then two winters, then 3 winters, each year a...

    Post Vaccination Behavior

    Got my second Moderna two days ago. I didn't have a terrible reaction, but yesterday I was definitely "off". Not quite to the status of a bad hangover, but fuzzy, achy, and tired. I took some great naps. Feeling fine this morning. I have never been comfortable in crowds, or with "close...

    Costco, and furnishing a new Florida home

    Well, I've been a busy little beaver, blowing that dough, since I last posted. We bought a place in The Villages...and furniture is hard to come by. For you Costco veterans out there, what can you tell me about the deals at Costco for TVs (say about 60 inches) and king size mattresses. I'm a...

    Smooth top electric range-best choice for cookware

    Yes I know gas is better, but not an option in my new house. The place came with a brand new smooth top (not induction) electric range. Any recommendations for frying pans? Something that won't warp. Is heavy guage better? Aluminum? Cast iron? Opinions, please.

    Consolidated 2020 (2d half) RIP Thread

    i don't know if it was about Niekro specifically, or knuckleballers in general, but when asked about how to catch a knuckleball, Bob Eucker replied, "wait until it stops rolling, then pick it up."

    Consolidated 2020 (2d half) RIP Thread

    Johnny Bench told a story about Phil Niekro. The GM of the Reds told Johnny that they had a chance to trade for Niekro. According to Johnny he said, "Great. Just find another guy to catch him." Trade never happened.

    Christmas Newsletters--Bah! Humbug!

    When my first DW and I divorced, she kept the house and evidently all of the friends who sent Christmas Cards. I never send them, so I seldom receive them, except from one faithful Christmas enthusiast employee. She sent them to me every year, signed by her and her husband in her handwriting. I...

    Christmas Newsletters--Bah! Humbug!

    I once sent one out detailing how "young Anthony continues his downward spiral, academically", and "I continue to find new and innovative ways to invest unwisely" etc. etc. Only about half of the recipients realized I was joking. Well, thought I was joking. A few sent money. That was handy.
