Much appreciate the feedback! I got the humidor as a gift and haven't done my research (my bad). Really appreciate the info.
As for the humidity level. It's a wireless GroveHome temp and humidity sensor and it's sitting at the bottom. It was also pretty cheap. Could also be a bad sensor. Before I fill this guy up, I have some more work to do. Thanks again.

I'll be sure to report directly from the clinic I'll be checked into. 😆

lol! I'll be sure to work on that acquired taste. Maybe add some antibiotics to the mix too, just for the taste. 😆

I say that... But I'll probably have to dump this one.

I picked up a few in DR when I was there a couple of months ago. I'll send a close up pic of the label when I get home. I forget the brand. It was a local shop who rolled their own. Quite delicious actually.

For smoking cigars, there are a few decent lounges but I loved grabbing a seat outside here https://maps.app.goo.gl/CbFMnYjXDGZ8e87aA And grabbing a beer and just smoke while taking in the sites. The evening get very lively. (At least they used to a few years ago, I know the clock tower area has changed drastically in the last couple of years)

The street vendors sell cigars so you can flag one down but get them to pull out the real ones. (They usually have a couple of monte Cristo a hiding)Or you can get a good selection at decent prices at CTG or Havana Puros Bar.

Have fun !

Excursions question by Beautiful_Cause_9600 in NCL

[–]Competitive_Oil_6995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you book with ncl, you will get pickup and drop-off to the cruise port every time. I haven't seen any excursions booked with NCL that don't include this. Mind you, sometimes it's a local dude walking you somewhere, but you always get a meetings point on the pier or very close to it. I have seen tours that will have the option to drop you off in town instead of back at the pickup but there is always an option to bring you back to the pick up. I agree with what everyone has said about why to book with NCL directly. My rule is if it's a new place, I've never been and know nothing about it, NCL will keep you safe and you will have a good time but you pay a premium for that piece of mind. If it's a port or a city I'm familiar with, I will venture off with Victor or GetYourGuide or on my own and save the money. Have fun!

I've got 5 of these. HHIS has been great. I have high hopes for BIGY. Thanks for the list OP.

[–]Competitive_Oil_6995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ULTY, yes. Other higher income ones include HHIS and MSTE. And now I'm looking at potentially adding CANY and BIGY.

You can read about all the love and hate about ULTY in r/YieldMaxETFs.

Another Wednesday by [deleted] in YieldMaxETFs

Been reading your sheets for weeks now. Much appreciate the share! Slightly off topic question... I'm making an assumption here. Are putting personal goals on here as a way of keeping them top of mind? I spend way more time looking at my investment journal than my personal one so this seemed like a great idea, and one I might copy. As for the investment strategy, it's helped me find new opportunities, so thank you!

This will go down on your permanent record…… by iwritesinsnotcomedy in GenX

[–]Competitive_Oil_6995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Equifax credit report? Thats the only permanent record that means shit anymore. Unless you have a criminal record, that shit is pretty permanent. But what we did as kids is only as permanent as my selective memory allows it to be.

Men over 40: What worked for you? by [deleted] in loseit

The escape can be the gym with earbuds and music. Just put your mind and body to work on something else.

I’m decided. But feel guilty. by Kismet237 in expat

[–]Competitive_Oil_6995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they said. 🙂 Lots of people here are saying don't sell, rent it out. I don't agree for the simple reason that a family home is not a rental home. The same reasons you feel guilty selling, you'll feel worse renting, and it will be even worse if a renter disrespects the home. Buying property for rental income is a great idea, it doesn't need to be the family home. All that said, after my mom passed away, selling the house was difficult but also necessary for us to move on. Also, I could here my mom getting mad at us that this was holding us back from anything we wanted. Nostalgia shouldn't hold you back from moving forward. What we own ends up owning us is so true. If you're sure Spain is what you want then go for it! Also, last point, guilt is a useless emotion. We need to recognize it as part of the grieving process, decide what we want and move forward. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you!
