Why? What is wrong with a lady telling a jerk to keep their hands to themselves?

Semi-serious suggestion. Encourage one of the ladies to publicly call him out the next time he’s gets a little too friendly with his unwanted affections. I suspect he will absent himself from future gatherings. Problem solved.

Love it. ;D

When I FIRE’d at 58, I had the same concerns. To my surprise, they were unnecessary. No one, not one friend or family member, asked me how, what, why, etc. I had mentally prepared my “elevator speech” about LBYM, saving and investing, but never got to deliver it. Fast forward a few years and...

Surprisingly, only the DW and I have gotten hooked on quordle. But, several family members are daily wordle fans. We have a friendly competition among the DW, a couple of my sons, and the DD-I-L. We race to do wordle each day and share our scores. The other day, I was up past midnight, did...

Same here. I haven’t had any issues with flights, but have had a number of issues with hotels booked through third party sites. Last year, we had an issue with a booking at a hotel in Nashville. The manager was very helpful straightening it out. While I was talking to her, she also recommended...

Oops. Sorry. :(

Same here. It was the only thing I could think of, but kept telling myself they wouldn't use it. But, I was at 5 and figured I had nothing to lose. Wordle 255 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Congratulations. I hope all goes well. I (obviously) don’t know your situation, but others have regretted giving their employers such a courtesy. There was a long thread here a year or so ago on the subject with some painful anecdotes. That was my experience. I gave my client a month’s...

Thanks, but it really wasn't. I put in a random word trying to get another letter and was quite surprised by the result. I was much happier with my effort yesterday. It took me close to an hour doing the various combinations in my head before I figured it out. Wordle 248 3/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It's the worst time to buy a new car. In Nov, I totaled the DW's Highlander. I started shopping for a new one and learned that car makers and dealers are making the most of the shortage. They are only building vehicles with the highest trim levels and then adding high-margin accessories...

I used to love VRBO, but stopped using it when they added the "service" fee. I only used AirBNB once and had a bad experience with the owner. I won't use them again. Now, I try to find properties using other websites or, if possible, contacting the owner or property directly.

To quote Claude Raines, Ford and GM must be shocked, shocked to discover their dealers have been using the inventory shortage as a pretext to gouge prospective buyers. Last Fall, I totaled the DW’s SUV and had to go looking for a replacement vehicle. So, I got to experience a little of this...

Yep. I don’t remember the last time I checked my score.

I got in under the wire too as mine membership just renewed today.

We just watched Lillies of the Field again last month. It’s one of my favorite movies. “We build a shapel.” “That’s very nice. What's a "shapel"?” :laugh: R.I.P. Mr. Poitier.

I think this is key to people's expectations. If you tend to reply immediately, people come to expect an immediate reply; if you reply later, the next day, or not at all, people come to expect that too. DS#3 is definitely in the latter category. If he replies to a text, it's usually not for a...

My peeve is that some people wait to reply to texts in the middle of the night. My DW has a large family and she and her siblings have an on-going group text thread. She likes it because it is an easy way to keep up with the goings on amongst her family. But, for reasons unknown to me, some...

Thanks for the heads up. I just changed my password and deleted my stored card as well.
