    How do you charge an electric car in rural area

    I think in Virginia it costs more to register an electric car than a conventially powered car to help cover this, but am not sure. Mike D

    CGM Continuous Glucose Monitor

    I have been using Dexcom's G5 and G6 for about two years. I have been a diabetic since 1960, when they told my mother don't let him eat sugar and he'll be fine. I am not fine. I think I have had every diabetic complication except an actual heart attack but It was grossly enlarged before my...

    Alcoholism

    I have vascular dementia from years of Diabetes. When it began to affect my job performance and I did not yet know why, I had quite a bit of anxiety. I am 'normally' an extremely happy person so this anxiety was a new experience for me. I couldn't figure out what was wrong or what I was feeling...

    vehicle buying question

    I'm of the opinion that it's OK to be greedy. I also think that things that can be paid for in payments seem to get more expensive pretty quickly because the payments seem smaller and far away. I also think part of the high prices of drugs are because the gov't pays for them, in part, by...

    The oral history of Office Space: Behind the scenes of the cult classic

    My wife quit her job and made enough converting her area-of-expertise's code for the year 2000 to finance our retirement. She went on COBRA for 18 months to do so. By 'finance' I mean enough, after being invested 18 years, to amount to a sum that pushed us over the edge and made slightly early...

    Tweeking a little fun at the youngins

    I do. I also can hook up a horse to a carriage. I worked for a year in NYC's Central Park as a carriage driver. I had to have a Taxi-Driver's License and mine was signed by a Famous Person who won a beauty contest. I grew up 60 miles north of the city in the country. After a while a family...

    Well, I do it in front of my wife and awkwardly, or so I have been told. Even some of my male friends commented on it. Mike D.

    Mr. Money Mustache Divorce Blog Post

    I think for men, and suspect the same for women, that it is a left-over biological imperative to spread one's genetics over as broad an area as possible. Maybe people's innate desires and urges overcome their social pressure. I think men want to have sex with someone new. A female nurse friend...

    Mr. Money Mustache Divorce Blog Post

    Really, I was not using innuendo to belittle and I was not trying to make a point of calling you a name. Pretty much, the reason I posted was: I don't want the thread closed as I am enjoying it. Also, an artful dressing down is much more fun for everyone involved. And I know, having recvd many...

    Mr. Money Mustache Divorce Blog Post

    I am enjoying this thread and have not expressed an opinion on the thread's current topic due to my not seeing any point in doing so. I think it's interesting that 97% of the alimony is paid by one sex. I wonder how they calculated that. Is it of the total amount or the percent of cases? I...

    Mr. Money Mustache Divorce Blog Post

    When I was younger and in our first married decade my father, in genuine and earnest complimentary fashion, told my young, slim, and very physically fit wife that she was a real workhorse. She, in her typical fashion, discussed the comment with me later. I, in my typical male fashion, had not...

    Mr. Money Mustache Divorce Blog Post

    Whilst you did not directly call anyone here a name, I think your comment seems to cross a line of being respectful in general. One does not have to respect another person's views. Please let me suggest sticking to the use of damning and true statistics, as they seem to make points more...
