77 inch oled tv. Just because, lol.

After 3 fruitless attempts to get an address for direct deposit of my ss, I left for fido last spring. I did leave my Ira since it's all in Wellesley and I started drawing it down. I've got a few messages after, that I ignore, just like they did to me.

What? No one mentioned weed?

My dog wants to ban catnip, but the hipster cat doth protest. We grow our own and mostly just make edibles and eat it. We both were medical mj patients prior to recreational becoming legal. In a recreational state it's rapidly becoming no big thing. Cops no longer respond to the neighbor...

I spent two afternoons online and on the phone trying to re-establish a direct deposit account at vanguard. The reps gave me inaccurate advice both times, the calls took forever, and as of today it's still not straightened out. I'll just re route the direct deposit to a local bank Monday, and...

Larry the cable guy, no it's really Robert Duval, but I like most of those mentioned already as well.

My favorite winter comfort food is borsch. I don't have a recipe, but I know my wife uses shredded red beets, shredded red cabbage, smoked sausage and polish sausage. She makes a huge batch after we harvest our red beets and she cans most of it. The soup comes out thick like a stew, and makes me...

"Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water" Seems appropriate enough. I have a huge outdoor organic garden, a large yard, 25 acres of woods including a 3 acre food plot for the local elk, deer and whatever. If that wasn't enough, I grow organic...

Ive actually done this twice now since retirement. After each pay off I start dollar cost averaging back into a mutual fund with the money that went to a mortgage. Im probably done with this though, at 66 my next move will be a downsize I think.

Our problems were gophers and chipmunks, and mice. They feasted on our chicken's food and on tidbits from our compost piles. Two cats solved our problem. The chickens area is fenced with fencing that has 1 x 2 holes. I made the 2 brother cats an indoor area in a pole barn. They get food...

I still have a big heavy "portable" !0,000W peak, 7500W generator on a manual transfer switch. We only use it maybe twice a year, but when we upgrade it definitely will be a generac. Two days after hip replacement surgery in 2018 our power went out in a big snow storm. My wife pulled the truck...

I'm another poster who hasn't got back in yet. Im currently in short term govt bonds. My investment guru is covid 19, lol.

I like the spray in bed liners, and weather tech floor mats, but no running boards for me as im 6'6" and they're just not needed for me. If you trailer much a back up camera is very useful, as is a trailer brake controller, if your trailer has brakes. I have a chevy Silverado now and its my...

I love me a good hoe. https://roguehoe.com/gardening/ If that doesn't work, there's always a weed whip. And come to think about it, if I killed all the weeds in my yard it'd be pretty bare, lol.

My wife couldn't start our gas powered weed whacker so I started it for her, handed it to her and she promptly whacked my leg, lol. Im strongly considering a battery whacker for her. Do they come in pink?

All cbd products are not equal, some contain no cbd's at all. Buyer beware. I use cbd from plants we grow ourselves, and found a little thc, along with cbd can make a cream more effective. Our neighbor claims it cured his psoriasis. I use it on sore muscles and arthritic joints.

I was fired in 04. Not fire, but let go after my 3rd back operation. I was not prepared at age 49, but made the best of it. My DW worked a few more years, but living below our means and investing saved us. Eventually I qualified for SSD and that was a big help that mostly got invested. It also...

We use Scottish highlander burger. A former co worker raises them and grinds the whole cow for burger. Its tasty and lean meat. Last purchase was $4.oo per lb, im sure its higher now, lol. When I get a deer ( not last season) we add bacon or pork sausage for a venison burger.

I like a good cold beer on a hot day, or a dry red wine with red meat, or an aged white cheese, but my main vice since 09 is marijuana. Not smoking it, mostly by eating edibles. When my state voted for medical marijuana and I qualified for it, my drinking went way down. So did my prescription...

Don't forget there are global options for the W's as well. I briefly held the global Wellington, in my ira. Ive owned both Wellesley and Wellington at 50/50 going into the year. But sold the Wellington right after New Years. No regrets, other than the lack of international. The life strategy...

I got my start investing using drips, snail mailing in monthly checks, and reading money magazine for tips, lol. Pre internet or cable TV. And apparently I haven't changed a lot. I have never shorted equities. Never sold all my equities either, until this year. If I knew for sure the market...

Retired 16 years ago at age 49.

Thank you for being responsible.

I'm more into watching the market from a distance, and enjoying what I have. This last bull run has left me fat n happy. For me selling short, buying options or whatever is just taking on more stress. I'm reminded of the old saying "hogs get slaughtered". I'll just sit this dance out, thank you. :)

Im still glad I got out. My spidey sense is signaling a perfect storm, but I'll take no joy if it happens. In fact I hope I'm very wrong. I just don't see any sustained recovery any time soon. The up coming election had me worried, (I expect craziness) even before the virus, and now with the...
