I too have a high functioning Autistic son and really like this idea.

Good to know. I’m not in those two regions so only see S networks.

I’m in a county near Davidson and Vanderbilt university medical center acute care hospital is in network for our BCBS of TN EPO policy. None of the out of state are listed as in network but I have not called to ask.

Fellow TN resident here. We will be going back on the ACA soon. Is BCBS an option in your county and did you check BCBS for Vanderbilt? Thank you for the information.

I have a 2019 F150 XLT and I changed out the original dim lights for LED lights from Amazon right after I bought it. It was a pretty easy job and they are so much better. I changed out low and high beams.

Thank you for the date range. Though we retired several years ago our youngest is graduating in December and that allows us to travel when we want too again. The dates will work perfectly.

Next year DW and I will be there finally. We will be spending the winter in Ft Myers.

Thank you. Very interesting story.

Marko, your second sentence is pretty descriptive of our oldest son who has a mechanical engineering degree. I wonder if you wouldn’t mind elaborating on how you were able to change those behaviors.

Just a possible way you might make up the difference, ie work part time. I am very conservative financially so with an all in budget we went with a sub 3% withdrawal rate to start. That in firecalc gave us a 100% likelihood of success. It definitely worked out well for us and both our kids...

I was 43 when I ESRd. Almost 58 now and fully ERd at 54. I consulted about five hours a week on average while semi retired. This provided some extra spending money, a path to meet many new friends, and the ability to purchase the four social security credits per year needed to stay eligible...

You are not alone. Found that out today also. Sling has a $10 for first month option that includes ESPN. I think you can cancel within seven days at no cost or before the end of the month to not pay the next month at full price.

Just moved our oldest to his own policy. Grange was pretty reasonable at a little less than 10% more. I sleep better with this setup. It also helps teach life skills if you let them pay the premium.

This is our first year snow birding in SW Florida. So far we really like the weather and fishing. Activities are limited due to COVID and I think we would really enjoy a lot of them. We would be flockers in normal times.

My hobby was the inspiration for my name. The picture is a view from our first lake house. Now on our third one but it is our only home now.

Very sad to hear. Enjoyed her posts.

Thank you all for the very helpful info. Still evaluating the trip and what areas are open.

We recently sold our 13 year old camper and bought a new one. After a couple of local trips to check it out we are considering a longer trip. We have not been to many places in NC and have always wanted to go to the Outer Banks. Trip would start in TN to NC and then SC to Georgia and back...

So very sorry for your loss. I am one of many who benefited from your Dad's wisdom here. Thank you for letting us know.

If I am following the zilliow sale info correctly it's been for sale for three years. Here in our growing town in fly over country homes sell in two weeks. I know that is fast but three years what's is the reason for that?

I joined thirteen or so years ago. Still read topics of interest somewhat regularly and really appreciate all the wisdom here. This forum helped me to ESR back then and later to fully RE. It is the main forum I read. Thank you to all the posters who were so helpful.

Built a bow for bow fishing this spring. Alligator gar is the target. Its a little challenging to hit a slow moving fish from a boat that is moving and to account for the depth of the fish but with practice it becomes instinctive.

From another 12 year member but seldom poster you will be missed.

Yes proper setup is important. I would not suggest you stop fishing.

We ESR'D eleven years ago and purchased our own health insurance for the last twelve years. We were 41 then. It has been an emotional ride. One DW finally had enough of this year. She had previously worked a government job many years ago for a year and and a half and could go back for...
