Been looking at an old 1910 historic home in a historic neighborhood that's described as a "Swiss-Craftsman style"... it's really gorgeous and I believe it has big upside potential to become a real showpiece. My wife and I toured it and loved many of the unique and gorgeous features of this...

Like drugs, "Just say No"...

What about... Few of my faves: The Longest Day The Guns of Navarone (specifically) Platoon

No, no, no... You're all missing the point... ALL you need to do is replace the REAL trees with ARTIFICIAL trees, and no more leaves, right??? Hopefully this euthanizes this runaway discussion...😆😆😆

My EGO is awesome... ...mower, that is. I have 1.5 acres to cut, and for the parts that are less practical for my Simplicity lawn tractor to mow, I use the EGO. It's super light, quiet and I can mow FAST. I'll never go back to a gas walk-behind... The EGO was a game changer for me. Was...

Yes! And I'd like to add one more to the already stellar list of VT brewers: Lawson's... That said I think my favorite IPA experience was either enjoying a Hill Farmstead Edward at Three Penny Tap room in Montpelier VT, or a Pliny the Elder at Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa CA. It's...

The ad is apparently effective... ... because all I want to do is to get my hands around the neck of that (supposed) criminal in the ad who was (supposedly) incarcerated for title fraud, but now gets paid for this commercial... ARRRGH!!! Seriously I won't lose a minute of sleep worrying that...

Keep it real My motto: I'd like to ski into my 80s, so I ski my age (64 now). Helmet always, and stick to groomers and uncrowded slopes whenever possible. And STFD. I liken skiing to drinking beer. As a youth I drank my beer and skied the slopes too fast. Nowadays I practice the art of...

Why wait until age 70?? For me it simply comes down to "where is my money growing?".. The annual rate I'm getting now (with my portfolio) vs what (effective annual rate of return) my SS benefits grow each year. The annual rate on my investments (with the current economy) is NOT growing at the...

Simply put, NO... Any company is potentially capable of unscrupulous financing practice, but stocks have been providing great financial returns for generations.

UP-Size? Definitely.nkt... No disrespect to those billboard-sized.TVs, but me, I've.gone SMALLER.... I ditched cable,.went with Verizon Wireless Gateway service, and now I enjoy internet-based TV on my Chromebook from my favorite chair or.in bed. ...and I still enjoy my modest 36" diag.flat...

Nose vs Face Mask vs non-CPAP I actually tried the airstrips that help to open up your nasal passages, and these partially worked, although not nearly well enough. Like you explained, the soft tissue near your uvula relaxes during sleep and naturally closes your airway, contributing to snoring...

Don't Forget... Any assets you own where you can name beneficiaries, DO SO. That is the most expeditious way to pass assets to others upon your death. I learned this the hard way; my Mom was named as sole heir to my Dad's assets, but he apparently forgot to name her as beneficiary for...

I was a hold-out... I actually cursed at the doctor who read me the results of my sleep study,.saying "there's no F'ing way I will wear a.CPAP mask... AIN'T goin down that road!!!." When he very calmly explained to me the daily effects apnea will likely have on my body, and how it REALLY CAN...

Indeed! I am one of 10 kids... We'd leave in the morning and be back for lunch and dinner... But we had to ask permission to leave the premises after dinner. If we ever came back home in between meals, our Mom would ask "What's wrong??" Ahhhhhhh... THOSE we're the days. 😊🇺🇲🌞
