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...

Sorry for your tragic and sudden loss. Of course, it is expected that you will take a while to see the same joy in life... but it will return. In the meantime, focusing on improving your health and friendships will help to enrich your life. I have about 5 friends (non-romantic) that I see...

Diet not great, I don't have a sweet tooth but will graze all evening and eat any snack/sweet in the house. I am careful with colon health regularity, aware of microbiome health but probably have <50% fruit and veg that I should. I did virtually no dedicated exercise until well past 50...

Just heading out so don't have time to read all posts. However, definitely possible to clean smells. Ozone generator is used after flooding and I used a little chemical in a cup solution, just add hot water to get rid of dog urine in a house that had an extremely bad dose. (This was after trying...

Hi jdev, I don't understand your comment. My general funds are up 12-25% YTD??? Total stock market flat YTD. Just guessing you are v. tech heavy or looking at a shorter time period. Do you need to use savings now or timing the market?

All the best for 100% recovery and thanks for the warning. The only time I fell off a ladder was because the leg broke, lightweight aluminum ladder had barely been used so I felt it a bit unfair, but now something to watch out for. The time before where it was a bit close, but a good warning...

Just wanted to comment that if you want to leave as much as possible, then you might consider a higher stock vs bond percentage. If your withdrawal rate is <<4% you should be able to weather market lows without selling. I plan on zero bonds (not necessarily recommending to others) as I plan to...

Perhaps don't compromise on location, but carefully watch prices and buy in Winter and buy with some fixing to do??? That way you can spend on renovation as you have extra or earned $$$. Perhaps you will enjoy DIY??? Is there any way to earn part-time $ after a long vacation??? It sounds like...

Hi, Just a FYI sample of one that came in the mail box today: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Oakland/567-Radnor-Rd-94606/home/1820549 The first time I heard $1m over asking I was shocked and it was in a very sought after zip. This is not a particularly hot or high interest area, but it seems that...

Read thread for motivation - thank you! Was aiming at biking 4000miles 400,000ft only got to 2400miles, with a lot of zero weeks. I found biking by myself is not nearly as much fun as with club rides and I struggle to make myself get out. Still enjoy once a week hike, but of course no National...

Doesn't horses explain everything about the no cash :-) For us, it was 3 kids... as we got more above mortgage and 401k $, we just spent more on the kids (and renovations). We still didn't accumulate $$$ in the check account until kid expenditure started decreasing (post college).
