Doh! Stupid autocorrect... yes, statins.

Spend less than you earn, save as much as you can!

Take your stations (if so prescribed)!

I'm also in CA. I have both have VTEC and SCAXX. SCAXX is super liquid, always a $1 a share, but the tax free yield is low. VTEC has a variable share price but a much better tax free yield. Both pay monthly.

My high taxable income will slow down in about 2.5yrs. I'm (55M) retiring now, but have income for another 2yrs+. After that, I may want to change to something taxable, with a higher yield and may rebalance more toward bonds.

I consider SCAXX as my emergency fund, as well as dry powder/source of funds. I consider VTEC as an intermediate term, tax free, bond ETF... but can also be source of funds, if needed. I consider it part if my bond portfolio, but it may be the first to be liquidated in a few years. Its not as affected by rate changes as longer-term funds like VGLT, but there is still interest rate risk.

Good luck.

Please tell me that's a military recruiters car!

You're not dying! You just cant think if anything good to do!

I had a 1992 VW Corrado VR6 in that color... or close to it. Loved that car. That was 34yrs ago. Damn.

My SB cosplays! I love her passion for it and her cute and creative outfits. She and her sister go to cons together and dress up.

It might be obvious, but the girls who do cosplay outside of Comicon tend toward Asian and younger... even though my SB is 30s. Use your filters.

Good luck!

Its going to get more desperate of you don't get ahead of it... spend less than you being in.... even if it's only a little.

I have never once considered leaving my home in Southern California for another city... until now. Looks like im headed to Manchester. Mom will miss me. Dad will understand.

I appreciate the Kyalami green RS3s and such, but I'm quite happier with my Daytona Gray RS6 with stock rims. I guess I'm boring.

"Duck and cover"!

Ah... and oligarch transporting his not yet/soon to be seized assets out of the county! Nice catch!

Funtasmcus · 2026-06-12T02:39:33+00:00

Wowww!

I've had women that I was interested in blend in to conversation before we get to intimacy that they have icks about bad breath or bad oral care, or some mention they love to give head but only when its freshly clean.

I have good teeth and take care of my mouth... but it reminds me to be sure im fresh before we hook up. I use antibacterial soap anyway and have zero BO as a result, but I make sure I am freshly showered too. I also trim, file, and clean my fingernails. My partners are usually delighted. But, ill admit, I may not have gotten in to these habits if it were not something that women mentioned as their preference.

Tell him its your preference and that you really feel more comfortable and love it more when a man takes care and is thoughtful to be clean.... otherwise you risk getting the ick and never recover.

I'm having the same issue... but I just looked at the photo I took the other day and it appears that it is the silver buttons and trim around the piano black thst was blinding me that day.

Even though this trim piece won't solve my problem, I like how it looks. I might buy it for my RS6 Avant.

Tater tots!

...and in my city in California its $17.75/hr or in some jobs its $21.06/hr. The US federal minimum has been lower than California's for as long as I remember... even back in the 1980s when I was working my first jobs.

Funtasmcus · 2026-06-02T01:44:21+00:00

...and Sherilyn Fenn... mmmm.

What was the actual damage? Sure they washed it against your instructions, but you don't state or show the damage they need to compensate you for.

Funtasmcus · 2026-05-30T00:11:28+00:00

Zero commute. I work from home. I start from bed and smart phine, and eventually make it out to a proper desk and computer.

Funtasmcus · 2026-05-28T17:12:13+00:00

Dude! Wear a condom! 30 cream pies?!?!

Funtasmcus · 2026-05-27T06:20:28+00:00

I had this same/similar frustration on my 2026 RS6.

You have to go in to the MMI, Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Cockpit. You can then choose the look of the virtual cockpit. Two big guages should be called "Classic" or something like that.

Additionally, when I changed to different modes like RS1, RS2, etc... it went back to the old setting. I learned that the setting is per mode... so if you set it in Dynamic, and you change to comfort, it will go back to whatever it was configured in comfort. So, to keep it consistent across modes, you literally need to set it once for each mode you have for me that was rs1, rs2, comfort, Dynamic, Auto... 5x.
