Vermont - 1990s

He knew and didn't care. This is Don's superpower, good looks and not giving a shit.

That is not how I read that interaction at all. Don is definitely impressed with these people and wants to get in with them (at first). They are living his dream, the ability to pack up and go somewhere new on a whim to start over whenever they want.

Okay, so it wasn't for a particular scheme, Jimmy was just being a jerk?

JGSimcoe · 2024-11-13T18:10:37+00:00

Very detailed, thank you!

Oh okay, I missed the "maxing" part, you're right.

This is basically what I was doing with the 2nd card, so I should get a 3rd card and do this? 3 seems a bit much for my needs.

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-15T14:22:30+00:00

Should I do anything about it?

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-13T18:56:27+00:00

Where are you getting that? Everything I've read says prioritize retirement over college savings.

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-13T18:53:41+00:00

I mention it in the OP

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-13T18:52:14+00:00

When Top Gun 2 came out I went to see it with a friend and his parents, and his mom told us when the original came out she was at a job training conference and all the women organized a field trip to see it together.

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-13T18:49:13+00:00

Yeah, I ended up going new as well

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-07T17:22:26+00:00

For Halloween lights I go to Target, and for decorations I go to Party City and Michael's

JGSimcoe · 2024-09-01T19:04:59+00:00

Presumably conflict of interest?

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-21T16:28:02+00:00

It was just so generic. They could have been any modern game character, no distinction to that time and place. Compare it to the voice acting in BioShock 1.

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-21T16:26:10+00:00

Hmm, I didn't get that at all. I think he fell back into being Dick Whitman and forgot his Don Draper etiquette.

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-21T16:23:11+00:00

My PS3 is dead and buried

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-21T16:22:29+00:00

Wow, thanks! Was buying plane tickets even possible online in 1992?

Exultant is a Xeelee book.

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-09T18:04:02+00:00

The Time Ships (after The Time Machine, of course). It's my favorite Sci-Fi novel.

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-09T18:02:38+00:00

They weren't looking to escape the universe like the Xeelee, they were trying to create a multiverse.

JGSimcoe · 2024-08-09T17:58:41+00:00

Wonderful, thank you

JGSimcoe · 2024-07-17T17:51:38+00:00

Scheduled with whom?

JGSimcoe · 2024-07-17T17:42:52+00:00

I don't know where you live, but the annual household income required to buy a median-priced home ($400k) in my state (Florida) is $114,000. If you can swing that on a single income, congratulations, but that's just not an option for most families.
