K-Elite (K90) Ebay open box in perfect condition about $85 I really like it for its large reservoir and multiple sizes. I drink all day so leave it on, but can be programmed not to.

I'm an introvert but have had a lot of success with specific interest or activity meetups to feed a funnel... which resulted in 4 v. good friends and a bunch of close "activity" friends. ie I do a single activity with them and v. occasional other social thingo

I'm not a therapist, psychologist or anything useful... However here is my 2c worth :-) Your issue seems pretty simple... Adjust expectations and accept need for change. To me perception is ~everything and from the above: creative job worked, then travel worked... just accept you need to...

A little bidding war may have been the reason that it went over the reduced list???

Sorry I did not read all the replies... my first thought was did they really test at 0F ? Otherwise it is not a measure of CCA and will inflate your percentage estimate due to temperature performance. e.g. testing at 32F ~multiply CCA x 1.25. Lots of temperature vs battery performance charts...

I have been listening to the wise forum members for over a decade. Started with stock threads, but I most appreciated hearing about what locals like (and dislike) about different areas across the country and just random questions which impart lots of life wisdom. First heard about MLPs K-1s...

You have had structural advice from more qualified people than me. IMO the posts to a pergola are not a feature, you just want to camouflage the brackets with minimal material that will not trap water. No-one else apart from you will notice the posts when they come to visit :-) Plant a...

@CTRetiree - congrats on amazing weight loss results. For those looking for a white rice substitute, try Groats. I accidentally found them looking for a "better" oats. When I cook them in rice cooker using porridge setting they come out more like soft, large, rice grains and then I use them...

Hi, Congratulations! Judging from your user name, the answer will obviously come from within: a combination of your skills, passions and interests. Generally I can group my 7-8 years of retirement activities: 1. Long project, related to interest not work. Long because I only spent about a...

My position is that an specialist who looks at 20+ ankles per day would be v. valuable. My experience is not much use to you. I had a very, very, very mild injury compared to those described in this thread. Stepped the wrong way off a single step and it hurt like crazy for only a couple of...

Lots of good advice, esp local bike shop as they can hook you into club networks and lessons. I love cycling and am currently aspiring to 100m/week. I rode as a kid and every 5-10 years as a tourist adult. At ~55 when I was interested in riding as a hobby, I still found a one day course very...

If >50% of company stock changes hands, it triggers property tax revaluation. Also companies are required to report annually whether that trigger occurred. So I think, fraud would be involved.

FWIW Once I was financially independent, I found I enjoyed work less. Perhaps I had too many choices? I fell into part-time tech-ish consulting for a while and when that stopped, found zumba/yoga with a friend, then hiking with a group then biking with a number of different friends/clubs. In the...

If you are looking for transitional styling, I like the Kohler Simplice (<~$200), they come in different heights. Two still OK after 10 years (but I expect highly used plumbing to need some maintenance after 10 years). I also have nothing but good things to say about Grohe faucets, but have only...

Hi Mountainsoft, Having a father die at 52 when I was 8 probably gave me a heightened sense of mortality from a young age. Also probably contributed to my ER at ~52. I try not to spend any time on dwelling on my mortality but try to "live by having minimal regrets, if I die tomorrow". I...
