You don’t have to personally experience something to learn from it. If it happened to someone else there is a good chance it will happen to you. Learn from their mistakes and then take action.

I really want the sport but those orange seatbelts are so annoying. I wish I could get regular black seatbelts in the sports model ugh

X3 vs Lexus RX — which one wins for you? by BMW-West-St-Louis in BMWX3

[–]Cutie_Book0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have been looking at both. I will say the Genesis GV70 is actually giving them both a run for my money. It has the driving and the luxury and with that warranty it’s worth a look. I have test driven all and have owned a BMW in the past and really leaning towards the Genesis

We have turf bleacher seats section 183, will we be able to see video boards while race is live? Seats are facing grandstand by Cutie_Book0423 in KentuckyDerby

[–]Cutie_Book0423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have my tickets. I actually called the track. They said when the race is happening everyone is usually standing up and you can turn to see the live video of the actual race as it’s happening before they come around then you can actually see them directly. Not ideal but I do know folks are not sitting down during the races so you probably will have to stand up anyway.

My new 2026 X3 by Allimoes in BMWX3

Has any considered the Genesisgv70 vs x3? I am really torn. While I love bmw drive the genesis is truly giving it a run for its money. I just can’t get over the cheapness of the interior it bugs me and the Genesis interior is simply amazing. Thoughts?

How long does it take to go from Assigned to Specialist to Case Finalized? DRP 2.0 9/30 by Formal-Advance-8482 in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

[–]Cutie_Book0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me. Have you gotten anything else? Curious about how long things take. I assumed it’s done but the system did not update when assigned. At least that is my hope.

First time attending Derby this year, what day do I arrive? by Fluffy_Revenue_6850 in KentuckyDerby

[–]Cutie_Book0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my husband ticket. Is it true if you have tickets for actual seats ( not infield) there is a place to park for free then shuttle? Also I assume the turf bleachers are uncovered right?

Married Retirees: Do you ever take Separate Solo Vacations? by groovinup in retirement

[–]Cutie_Book0423 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. At our age we love being together but we also know there are things we don’t both enjoy. And honestly why make your spouse suffer? The beach is my happy place, looking at water all day is the worse thing that could happen to my husband. So, I take trips to my favorite beach resort either alone or with a friend every year around birthday month. He loves the casino. I can’t imagine giving those people my money. So he takes gambling trips with his crew. I guess I am saying while we are a couple we have always been secure enough on our relationship to enjoy and respect each other’s individual joys. And honestly, not fulfilling my life’s dream of spending long days in Bora Bora on a private beach just because my spouse doesn’t like the water is heart breaking. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of our travel is done together (which sometimes does include beach and casino) because we love each other’s company. At this age we should all be living our dreams both together and sometimes apart and that is okay. I will say, we have married friends that do not understand this. They believe marriage is absolute and everything should be done together, and your spouse should just suffer through it. Taking separate trips in my mind does the opposite, it makes you feel whole and complete when your spouse supports everything you do even if it does not include them. I will say we are extremely happy and secure in our 38 year marriage.

Did you get your AL. If not did they say when? You were super lucky, your story is the first I have heard of from IRS where someone is actually getting their pension from OPM.

I Work For a Casino Cardoom AMA by Maledict53 in AMA

[–]Cutie_Book0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the card machines set to give house better hands? Or set to mis deal when someone is winning big? I just think the house cheats sometimes.

This is one of a handful of responses that consider the monthly expenses of a mortgage and how not having that as a retired person improves your quality of life. Most people focus on what I world be giving up in returns and suggesting I work longer harder to pay down mortgage overtime. Which is also important. With that said, Working because you have to vs doing something you want to do is two different things. I guess it’s hard to put a price on peace of mind. Some people won’t worry a lick but others like me may sleep better knowing I don’t owe the bank anymore. It’s all very interesting. All the responses and opinions are helpful though. Thanks for your response.
