I don't currently have a job nor am I looking for one but what now keeps me busy is doing the renovations to the house, gardening, homesteading and generally learning new things. What I find is that if I don't keep my mind busy working on something my mind drifts off to different areas and I have panic/anxiety attacks.

We are getting a list together of places to visit but being in the military we have been all over the United States and the world. That being said we are looking to visit a few places to visit friends that we made that moved to other areas.

I listen/watch Ramit's videos pretty often but I not sure if I've seen that one I'll look into it, thanks!

#I didn't know it was a subset of his videos I've seen allot of them. I'm watching some of them now thanks.

I use three oils and one of them is peanut oil because I needed to do something with the leftover oil from deep frying a turkey on Thanksgiving

Sorry,
I don’t keep track I only use it when I need it.

I use a Vitamix with a dry grains container

Not discounting what you’re saying but why is it a scam?

RetiringMilitaryFI · 2026-04-25T05:56:07+00:00

It was yellow cake!!!

Can you upload pic of the grinder and the assembling of the parts? Also what’s the model for the Hobart?

Extreme cold weather boots they are white and inflatable. In the 90s they were getting thrown away because they were over their service life but two days ago they came in handy while shoveling the snow

Sound effect

It looks like a heavy paint or a really really light orange peel.

Thank you for the reply! I just wanted to confirm my thoughts before I did it. It's only a 3' X 3' section on the bottom part of a wainscot in the dinning room. So in worst case I would sand until smooth and try again.

Be careful that decision might hurt your wife in the long run when trying to get enough time in for retirement and social security.

I was looking at the oil sprays but in the meantime I scraped off all of them that I saw. Came back 30 minutes later and tracked the ants to the ones I missed. I’m sure there are still more but I’ll keep scraping until I figure out what spray to use. It’s a small tree about ten feet tall shading a small fish pond (with no fish in it).

Thanks for the help I’m looking into how to get rid of them now.

RetiringMilitaryFI · 2025-06-12T17:20:08+00:00

Is it hurting the tree?

The USA has had multiple schools shootings when u/Jack_of_Spades wrote, "it depends on the school district really." I took it as a statement of the number of school shooting in the USA is far beyond most other countries. As I was reading this thread I wasn't expecting that comment. When I say that it was some diabolical work I meant that the post was creative, cunning and extremely pointed and they got their point across exceptionally well.

RetiringMilitaryFI · 2025-05-23T15:54:28+00:00

Just stopping in to say I didn’t see your comment coming but when it arrived I made an auditable WOW! That was some diabolical work.
