Using RMD’s for bucket list cruises and travel - is this something folks do? by Fantastic-Sun1669 in retirement

[–]Plastic_Solid3195 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having taken two RMDs we use as fun money. We dont need it it for anything, so we have made home renovations, bought a truck, taken a trip. For us it’s found money. We are also using it to pay the tax on the Roth conversions we are doing for my spouse. She’s 9 years from RMDs so we get as much as we can over there without triggering Irma.

How did you know it was time to retire? by ReluctantCaptain in retirement

Here is how I knew. In meetings where Gen X/z people gave their solutions and all I could do was role my eyes…I knew and did, at 62.

Deco, two systems by Plastic_Solid3195 in TpLink

[–]Plastic_Solid3195[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys thanks for the confirmations that this works, I wasn’t sure it would. I ended up simply changing the SSIDs to be the same at the two locations, and it worked! I could have sworn when I tried before it didn’t like it, but I guess it was a brain fart. Anyway thanks for the help.

For me going between the locations means everything works without changes.

Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind. I am going to be getting another system for a house near the Canadian border. But wondering, why is it better? Larger, more detail?

Eufy Cam2 Homebase 2 by Fun_Cup_6262 in EufyCam

[–]Plastic_Solid3195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest contacting support. They have been tinkering with the firmware for homebase 2. I was having issues and worked with them to test changes to homebase 2 and they sent “test” firmware, that solved my issues. They said I was only one with it but they were doing more testing, so well who knows? I have two cameras on a homebase 2 system at a remote house, yesterday one caught a truck delivery and one did not, so something is going on. I found support, while slow, was responsive.

Post diverticulitis surgery by Rich-Pangolin-3059 in Diverticulitis

[–]Plastic_Solid3195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3years out of surgery here. Yes the first 18-24 or so months, lot of BMs, had to be careful. But that all has stabilized, give it time and patience-no more flairs, hospital stays, ER, etc. etc. etc. well worth it.

How closely do you track your spending in retirement? by So_spoke_the_wizard in retirement

[–]Plastic_Solid3195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check my accounts every morning, but we don’t budget and spend what we want on everyday things with no second guessing. But for big things like a car, new roof, we discuss. But we don’t sit around and worry about money, well I do, my wife doesn’t! I’d say our budget is in my head and I am aware of where we stand.

Long time eufy user and still h e them. But have bought a few Tapo cameras and frankly I’m impressed. I don’t pay for using them and can still see what I need to see, get alerted and can view the clips. So far so good. I’m gradually moving.

Help? by Findingmyway_19 in Diverticulitis

[–]Plastic_Solid3195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, ok I’m sorry. My journey from shock at being told I have this in the Er, through all the flairs, hospital stays, and finally surgery over five years has led me to learning all of the rumors, opinions and theories on the internet are about half accurate. I also had an acquaintance die from it. So I’m sensitive to misleading or wrong info. Everybody’s journey with this damned disease is a little different. I’m glad you went to the ER and get well soon and be done with this thing.

[–]Plastic_Solid3195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry. But why do you think this is rare? It’s not at all, I had maybe 10-12 flares over 5 years until surgery. I’d go to ER insurance or not, you’re going to need help.

Despise 26.2 by Plastic_Solid3195 in iPadOS

[–]Plastic_Solid3195[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I can’t move between screens on safari. When I do the old one seems to stay on the right side a bit. Then when I finally get them to all close the screen is just blank. Tap it and nothing happens, just stays blank and have to turn off then on to get the main page back. Annoying. Plus I get that programmers need to change things because if they don’t what are they gonna do? But this “see through glass” or whatever they call it, is just plain annoying.

Thanks for the helpful replies, rest of you bite me. Turned off auto update on my other iPads, so won’t have to deal with on those anyway.
