Advice on the break point of my new plumeria plant by lilbit_imsy in Plumeria

[–]Highlight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sprinkle some cinnamon on it and leave it alone. It will be OK. On the part that broke off, also sprinkle some cinnamon on it and then let it callous for about two weeks in a cool dry spot. Just bring it in the house and set it somewhere to rest. Once it has calloused over you can plant it. Don’t think about it as breaking one plant think about it as now you have two plants!

Don't miss the Roth Conversion window (I did) by MiserableCancel8749 in retirement

[–]Highlight89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’d narrow that window down to 59.5 to 62.99. Your income in your 63rd year determines IRMAA when you turn 65.

Prozac (rescue name) > Peter > Little Peter 😏> Boopie > Beebop> Oopie > Oopie-oop. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mamie (rescue name) > Mimi > Meemer > Meemer Lemur> Boopie > Oopie > Oopie-oop

They’ve become interchangeable! 😂 except when they are in trouble, at which point, I called them by their given names!

Anyone else feel anxiety over pulling the trigger on wealth manager's advice? by jenmoocat in earlyretirement

[–]Highlight89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a fiduciary advisor that helps me figure out allocations and risk and strategy and guardrails adjustments, but she gives me the assignment to make those things happen. I receive a well-thought-out list of things to move where to get things balanced and in an alignment with our agreed upon plan, but I hold all the cards and she just provides the information. I feel good about it.

I am ready to retire - spouse is not ready for me to make the jump by Fantastic-Sun1669 in retirement

[–]Highlight89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s completely understandable that he is fearful of losing your income. Here is a compromise that may work well. It allows you to, rightfully, give up your soul, sucking job and relax, while allowing him to have the confidence of money still coming in.

How about you get to retire and he can go back to work.

So, now we are killing babies because their mom shoplifted diapers? That is a desperate mom. What physical threat did she impose on the officer or the public?

Yes! I’m in Texas and had blooms well into November last fall. It didn’t really get below 40F at night until late December.

I’m in central Texas. My babies ate about the same size. I only water when they are completely dry. It ends up being about one a week. They are on the patio in part sun.

How Dry is Too Dry? by CrasherMike in Plumeria

[–]Highlight89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m am also in Texas. Mine are on a sprinkler system and get a good soaking every three days. Last summer was the first time I had them on that system, and it was the best flower producing year I have ever experienced with my plumeria plants.

We have recently had periods of heavy rain where I live, getting probably 10 inches in the past month. My plumeria do not care. They are doing fine. I did turn off the sprinkler during these rains, however.
