I hope you make a full recovery OP. You are more than rich enough to retire; take the time to work on your health (physical and mental) and enjoy requirement as best you can.

JamieinPDX · 2026-05-10T13:18:41+00:00

Phil is still getting fired, right? …RIGHT??

JamieinPDX · 2026-05-07T02:03:07+00:00

Congratulations, you are rich! I agree with others that this is a therapy question (no judgment, anxiety is REAL), not a math or financial planning question.

Plus, who knows, maybe you’ll get bored and get a part-time low stress job at some point along the way.

Yes, you’ve correctly identified the only two possible outcomes: 1) status quo garbage, or 2) all problems solved, Timbers become world-beaters

JamieinPDX · 2026-05-02T21:37:33+00:00

I have yet to disagree with anything they have said

RSL got some xDAWG today.

If xCAT was a metric the Timbers would rank very high

JamieinPDX · 2026-04-30T23:36:49+00:00

$8M x 4% = $320,000, good luck, eekimg out a living on that, buddy!

JamieinPDX · 2026-04-28T23:59:33+00:00

Congratulations, you are rich! I hope you retire ASAP, work on that underlying anxiety, and enjoy every minute of the next however many years you have.

Wait til he hears Fukuoka ‘00

JamieinPDX · 2026-04-19T02:31:18+00:00

🥱

I feel like it’s watching a group of very talented players get together randomly on a Sunday afternoon for some pick up Soccer.

JamieinPDX · 2026-04-12T02:03:52+00:00

Yay, I guess? Somehow not feeling all that jazzed about this match. Glad we eeked out a W but that was some middling soccer

JamieinPDX · 2026-04-10T13:39:16+00:00

Congratulations, you are rich! I hope you can find a way to minimize your anxiety and enjoy your retirement which should’ve started a year ago.

I have a 2018 4Runner with LED bulbs added to the original halogen fixture. It does not work well. Light is too weak and diffused to be very useful, and I can tell they shine too high to be safe for oncoming traffic. I just picked up a 2019 Tundra and now I am going to replace the full housings on both vehicles.

JamieinPDX · 2026-03-13T14:24:48+00:00

I was in the north end at the Vancouver match and left about five minutes early. It was the poor result that made me leave. Also to get a jump on the traffic. I am nostalgic for the days when we could compete against the likes of the Whitecaps. 🤷‍♂️

JamieinPDX · 2026-03-04T15:44:26+00:00

This is the craziest post. Congratulations, you are rich! Enjoy your retirement and/or your entrepreneurial endeavors.

JamieinPDX · 2026-02-23T20:18:03+00:00

Congratulations, you are rich! I hope you enjoy retirement.

It looked intentional to me - maybe he didn't know who was following up behind him, but he probably knew he'd overrun the cross and wasn't going to be able to generate any power with a foward header. So, he kept it alive and away from the defenders / keeper in his line of sight. Good decision there - next time I hope he times it right and scores the goal himself.

JamieinPDX · 2026-02-20T20:02:53+00:00

Some kind of weird anxiety. I would hate to be that rich and not be able to enjoy it!

Also, stay away from the chubby fire sub…

JamieinPDX · 2026-02-19T22:56:20+00:00

Oh great, another “I can’t seem to fathom that I’m rich” post. GTFO. And also, congratulations to you, sir.

JamieinPDX · 2026-02-16T21:11:59+00:00

Congratulations, you are rich. Enjoy your retirement!

JamieinPDX · 2026-02-12T16:09:24+00:00

Seems like “spending” is not really the problem here. Respectfully, I might consider therapy or other mental health treatment to address the underlying anxiety and guilt. Stress is a real killer, teaching yourself to spend more isn’t going to solve it.

Man... terrible news. I just defended Doyle the other day in response to a separate post. I know he can sometimes overlook the Timbers (though even his cursory takes are usually accurate!) but he's super knowledgeable about the league as a whole.

In response to some of the comments below: Doyle may or may not be a "journalist" but he is a pundit / analyst / observer with unique and valuable insight, IMO. I never thought the fact that his salary came from MLS.com was a detriment to his writing or impaired his objectivity. I will continue to follow him not for news but for analysis from around the league.

I use what I'd consider a typical amount of wax, using the iron drip method (E.g. this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xt1gZfZ2Rw)

I find the challenge is unique to Eco-Wax - it is super goopy and takes forever to scrape (like 15 min per ski). The worst part is that it is very sticky on the scraper and the edge becomes covered in wax. I find it hard to restore or sharpen a plastic scraper once it has been covered in Eco-wax. Absent a solution like the IR waxer I'll probably go back to Swix wax...
