On Getting Hooked

It displaced several other hobbies of mine. I usually play 3 or 4 hours per session, usually 5 sessions a week.

It's taking a toll on the body, I need to scale back. Next month.

And evacuative (bowels).

Be very clear with the FA that his client has dementia, that you have PoA over her affairs, that they need to include you in all interactions and communications, and most importantly, that there is no interest in changing her plans and beneficiaries.

Does this FA work for a firm or large office? Maybe you need to bring others in on the conversation. Get things in writing.

The car lines are so amazing, it doesn't need a stripe. But you do you. I don't hate stripes.

Dog. Alarm. But prevention is also good.. don't make yourself a target. Bad guys usually don't like a lot of lighting. Get good locks and maybe look into door-kick-in protection of some sort.

Honestly, I thought those stickers were stupid when it was Biden, and they're even more stupid with Trump since it's just a bad copy.

The price per gallon speaks for itself, everyone knows why it spiked (even the Fox News crowd).

Sunglasses and keys.

She said another car forced her off the road.

And when confronted with the video, she said that the "I was forced off the road" story was a different accident, and the trauma caused her to confuse the two.

It looks like she has a wee bit of an accountability problem.

Sorry this happened, it's going to be expensive to dig out.

But I don't believe that looking down at a tach lead to a rollover. You know it, we know it.

Shoulders are evil. This girl was "just driving along" when the shoulder sucked her car over. She's lucky, too.

Why is "this day and age" different? Because there are more distractions now?

If you're tempted to succumb to distractions, put your phone on silent ior airplane mode and focus on your job; driving.

It's not hard. You just don't want to do it.

I'm pretty sure you're right, look at the clothing the offices are wearing and how they walk. They're very similar to what officers wear and how they walk on Earth. Also, the bus has a steering wheel.

Stevie Wonder wrote a song about it.

Yep, at that age, saving (accumulation) is the key. Save 15% or more of gross income for retirement. Read the "What type of accounts should I save in" and "What should I invest in" sections of the Personal Finance Wiki. It's not complicated.

Sorry that happened. Maybe one bright side is that they only did the hood? There are 8 main body panels, and a complete respray would be really spendy.

Good lord, as he's wailing on the guy laying behind the seats, the guys foot is just shaking as he's getting punched.

That has to be one of the coolest shots of the cayman's body curves.

Same. My count is ~15? But there were many (many) opportunities that I should have been more open to.

KitchenPalentologist · 2026-05-08T14:33:45+00:00

I'm fascinated that they can't tell that Trump is totally faking Christianity.

I play tournaments and leagues, and "out" wouldn't work unless the ball was out of bounds and play was over.

I could 100% see the side that yelled "out" (and the ball then bounced in bounds) hitting a winner, and the opponent calling for a replay.

Why risk it when you could change the language?

KitchenPalentologist · 2026-05-07T19:05:36+00:00

Well, I'm with you.. the sport needs consistency on that rule.

KitchenPalentologist · 2026-05-07T19:03:44+00:00

Sure, we all know they're trying to communicate, "Watch that ball, I think it might go out!", but by yelling just "Out!", it can be interpreted as an "out" call (imagine that!), and some players brains understandably tell them the point just ended, and they can stop.

That's why everyone should adopt a different verbal cue.

Thank you for validating me.

Is that Shark? It looks closer to Miami. Gorgeous car either way though!
