My comment was not directed at you, but the douche on ignore.

So a person with the means to pay for something can not be concerned for those that can't? Huh...your mind is fucked up pal.

If the spot price is the same around the world for gas/petrol, why does the USA have to impose about $4 in Federal and State taxes? Can't we get a reduction?

I would so be moving from there, but I am not some dyed in the wool MAGA fucktard.

You are 100% correct on the oversimplification and life isn't fair and often throws us a shitty hand. I am not going to go into my situation, but I honestly overcame a bunch because I wanted to be a...

Any adult given the choice between a $40k a year job and a $200k job will pick the later. Problem is, they were not prepared or motivated enough on their own to pursue a career that could get them...

Yup, I run into buyers like that all day long. Most are in tech jobs, both earning about $150k a year, which really isn't much for their industries, so upside earnings are there. I feel badly for...

It is called "being married singles". For what ever reasons she has fallen out of love with you and is ready to move on. It happened to me about 25 years ago. Luckily we came across Retrovaille...

Aaaaah yes, the constant drivel from the TGR poop flingers. I wish these petty fuckin attacks would stop. I mean Kevo said "and remote workers" so what is your point?

Yup, that is a cute kitten

The part I don't like is that the home is 2 story. I have painted a few of our properties and my kids homes and the one that was two stories on just one side was a mofo up on a ladder. Sounds like...

Benny and I have commented on this in a few threads. Google is your friend for details: https://www.immigration-italy.com/retire-to-italy-from-usa

Once the puppies cross the Rainbow bridge, I am...

Did a quick Autotrader.com search for 2016 or newer, 30+ miles to the gallon and under 45k miles for $20K. There were a fuck ton of cars. Looking at the first 2 pages I would of went with a low...

And Larry Summers can go suck a bag of dicks. I never liked that guy or his thought process.

Haaa...premium is already close to $7 in many locations. I don't see that for rates, but what do I know?

Odd, does your wife have a Canadian and British passport like me? If you retire to Italy, they make it fairly simple to do so, regardless of passport held.

In talking together and looking at the options we feel comfortable with, I guess I am building a catio off the side yard for our next kitties (wife wants two). Something like the below, just much...

How do you feel about Yurp? During our travels a few weeks ago we thought Italy was off the hook and for sure cheaper than the USA or Canada. Like CA, so many great regions to live in depending on...

P11 was a Whistler mag? Haven't seen a post from him for a long time, but life is more important than this place. Always thought he came across as a good guy. Sorry to hear this.

You have obviously never met me IRL and are looking in a mirror.

Sorry to hear that Buster. I told my wife we may have to have house cats and she is pushing back, so just trying to find some options for limited outdoor access. Ya, I am dreaming.

Trying to figure out how to avoid the issue (busy street next to me) besides having a house cat. All 3 of our cats have crossed the damn busy road. Poor Misty was 5 seconds off and paid for that...

You are correct airfares right now are easily double to triple what we paid in November of 2021. Next trip to Europe looks like we'll be using points to fly to JFK and then buying the flight over...

Thanks for the laugh Kevo, I really needed that.

Seems like all I read about are cluster fucks at airports and cancelled flights. Welcome to the new summer normal post covid. My advise, wait to fly once the kids are back in school.

Sorry for this post in the stoke thread, but we don't have it is just a cat thread.
We lost our Misty Gomez at about 7:50 am today. She was hit by a F250 darting across the road as reported to me...

Mikey, there are traditions to be upheld on Tuesday and Friday. That we have mostly wimped out on Friday is disappointing.

Damn, B bear was posting that up and I missed it? Now that annoys me.

Interesting

Zohal Habibi hadn’t even moved into her new home in the suburbs of Toronto when she started regretting the purchase. “We took a very bad decision,” she says.

It’s not about the...

Cell phone not likely. 0ffice line, maybe.

God damn Summer, they pay everyone a few hundred thousand a year to afford those prices?

Mammoth is STR central. It would warm my cold dark heart to see that stuff implode.

Yup, all that and more is why I wanted hydrogen to succeed, but nope.

I wanted a 2016 TDI, but the prices were crazy compared to what I got/paid for the Cayenne.

But financially, it is a good direction to go in based on his stated needs. I looked at them, but this interior was really hard for me to say no to and then there is the sound when you put your foot...

That is not what I said, but thanks for playing.

Kevo, the only things that have caused crashes in my 63 years are major unemployment events and the Liar Loan BS of the early 2000's. It is doubtful enough WFH, construction peeps or what ever walk...

The car didn't stop? I hope that POS burns into eternity

I am fairly certain this has been said before, but my first home loan was at 14% on a $200k purchase. Sure I wish homes still cost $200k but 14%? Don't cry about rates at 6%.

So tell us Swami, were do you see the S&P bottoming out? Anywhere under 3000 and I will start nibbling back in.

Been really flat in San Diego since I got home. I have a few days stuff to do so hopefully later in the week picks up.

Not a fan of bonds in an increasing rate environment. Say you buy $10k worth at a 3% yield, that is $300 yield. Rates go to 4%, now your $10k investment is worth $7,500 X 4% = $300 if you want to...

Maybe...https://toilethaven.com/2020/04/03/toilet-not-filling

Plumbing Jong here. Water supply to toilet is on as is the water in the house but the toilet is not filling up??? I guess the mechanism in the toilet is bad/blocked? Just replace it or could it be...

3% yield and CPI is what? O ya, you're negative 5%. I shouldn't peak at your dumb ass comments.

Yup, I hear ya Mikey. Flew home Friday and was up for 23 hours. Only slept 4-5 last night :cussing: not sure why, as I was exhausted once we got home. Spent the day cleaning out a rental so tenants...

Whatever the cost, as a young man I would of found a way to pay it.

WE got in last night at 9pm after being gone 3 weeks. My daughter was out front with Gunther and Maya letting them do a mini pee pee. As we were in my wife's car and they looked half asleep, they...

If Paxlavod I have read once done taking, the Covid often comes back :eek:

Golden Boy, for sure my vertigo was off for about two weeks. (after I tested negative)

Naw, the US is all about subsidies regardless of price.
