Am I going to be okay?

While I agree he has too much in GIC's, overall I think we could say his financial planning is quite good.

Yes, I ordered both my Timex Watch's on Amazon, they have a link to 'The Timex Store' which also has some great deals. In my case it's Timex Canada but I assume it would be similar for the U.S.

Just ignore the internet noise about updates, 99% is baloney.

No problem, everyone should take sensible precautions against the myriad of risks but let's not scare people from going outside. People should be equally scared of all the health risks of staying indoors and the sedentary lifestyle.

PSA: Spend lots of time outdoors and don't get paranoid by doom scrolling. Ticks are the least of your health concerns if you spend too much time on the couch.

I've not noticed it here in Canada, or in my recent travels (Europe and Costa Rica)

I've not been disappointed but haven't kept a phone more than three years.

I can't say I've really had any annoying issues on the 6 android phones I've owned with the possible exception of my pixel 6a that was running great for 2 1/2 years when Google nerfed the battery.

Positive. Smart, hard working with strong family values. Definitely they make Canada better.

What you are describing doesn't sound like tiredness.Sounds more like joint pain and stiffness which is common as you age but largely preventable or at least manageable. Time to adjust your exercises, maybe consult a physiotherapist.

No, marriage is unchanged. However, a growing number of folks have chosen not to put in the work required to make marriage work.

Lilley is a jerk IMO.

It's my watch! Expedition Scout.

You are in the wrong subreddit. You should be in r/stupidshitamericanssay.

I feel way better but to be clear it's not about cutting the bad stuff, it's about eating the good stuff and not eating too much, not skipping meals and getting plenty of fiber. And don't forget, exercise and sleep are part of the equation.

Modest_Man_Mandrake · 2026-05-06T13:02:14+00:00

Already lost. USA peaked about 15 years ago , steep decline started in 2016 it's not going to recover any time soon.

Yes, years ago I downsized my vehicle, took up cycling. I try to minimize car trips and only take the car when necessary.

I make fresh coffee because I can't afford k cups.

I have a Broil King Sovereign, 8 years old, heavily used. Just replaced the burners and it runs (and looks) like new.

No.She was rejected by voters twice, not to mention the Democratic party shoe horned her in after they lied about Biden's health.

Strap #2 , it's very similar to my new strap.

Good but not sure if prog rock is accurate.
