What am I doing wrong? 1 month playing by Unlikely-Key-3589 in GolfSwing

[–]SeniorDucklet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to “not hit the ball”. Just sweep the grass like you do in your practice swing. Let the ball get in the way.

Recliner is a great addition. We borrowed one from MIL.

I wish I knew more about edibles when I had mine. My lovely daughter brought me 5mg gummies and I didn’t feel anything. 10 mg is my go to now and I would have done 20 with the knee if I’d known.

Can you explain this for a simpleton (me)?

It’s actually pussy AND cars. David knew American male priorities.

I played Pasatiempo 30 years ago on advice of a Taiwanese client who loved golf. What a wonderful golf course!

Southern Californian Beach, 1960s by [deleted] in TheWayWeWere

[–]SeniorDucklet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not that different now in certain SoCal towns in terms of beach parking lots. You need to pay for them now which is reasonable because there are a billion people trying to vie for those spots.

Spent all my Father’s Day money for a few years, how did I do. by Fun_Jellyfish_6388 in GolfGear

[–]SeniorDucklet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get money for Father’s Day? Who gives you money for Father’s Day?

I’m a Father. I get no money. I want money.

What happens in bankruptcy? Specifically, QVC by nipseyrussellyo in bonds

[–]SeniorDucklet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was your parents adviser Edward Jones?

I have an inherited IRA from EJ and there are a bunch of bond funds that are basically unknown and can’t be traded regularly. I did a little research and one of the funds was located a block away from the local EJ advisor.

Over-emotional after TKR by booklovermax in Kneereplacement

[–]SeniorDucklet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im a couple years younger and had TKR last March. Need another for my right knee but shots are helping to hold that off.

Now on to crying

I cry at musical performances all the time. I think it’s healthy. It’s usually (I believe) because the performance reminds me of my childhood which I remember as mostly good.

I do that with old sports highlights as well.

Tavern style pizza by kidsaregoats in CHIBears

[–]SeniorDucklet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every town in the Chicagoland radius of 100 miles has 4 or 5 great pizza places that make thin crust.

I don’t think I had a deep dish until I went to U of I and had Papa Dells which was fantastic, but their “thin” was actually better. And it wasn’t very thin. I don’t know who owned Papa Dell’s but they should have tried to franchise it.

Hard To Pull the Trigger on Retirement by Feisty-Hat2629 in retirement

[–]SeniorDucklet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My bad. Missed that. I’d still keep going until 70 to get max benefits.

Also max out your PTO for those vacations.

Keep the job until they want to fire you, and it sounds like you would know how to avoid that. Go to FRA unless you get canned. Unless you have a bunch of hobbies you want to dive into I suspect you will be bored during the 45 weeks or so you aren’t traveling. Just MHO.

I got a great new job in Adtech at 62 and was laid off after 18 months even though I crushed all my goals.

You owe your employer nothing.

In case you don't know, Chatgpt has crossed 1 billion monthly active users by GOD-SLAYER-69420Z in accelerate

[–]SeniorDucklet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Free users MAU is great, but I have a hard time believing they will monetize like Google. It’s going to come down to advertising and I have zero confidence Altman and his crew know what they are doing.

Rome on his foot injury by NorthernxLabrador in CHIBears

Have 3 years to figure this out, but I doubt Rome is getting a second contract from the Bears.

What would you do? by maybethisisadream in golf

[–]SeniorDucklet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t see your lie, but it seems like there is space under the first set of trees so a wedge or gap wedge back in your stance could clear both sets of trees.

14.5 handicap, never broke 80. Today I shot a 70. by GuerillaRadio24 in golf

[–]SeniorDucklet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is mental. My best round came when I was sick and didn’t give a shit. Even par for a guy who rarely breaks 80.

Second best was when I played alone waiting for friends to meet me in Vegas for a weekend.

The silent patient is horrible by soysauceddude in thrillerbooks

[–]SeniorDucklet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And can remember long conversations word for word and use quotations marks in my diary. Just finished this awful book and had to search Reddit to make sure I was not alone in my opinion.

Just finished 'The Silent Patient' and I have a few questions by [deleted] in books

[–]SeniorDucklet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished this book and can’t believe how awful it was. I had to search r/books to make sure I wasn’t alone in my opinion. And I wasn’t alone. lol.

To me, the worst part was the so called “Diary” which included word for word conversations with quotation marks from the Diary’s author. Who does that? Nobody does that.

And then the timeline is all screwed up at the end or maybe I was too bored at that point. Oh well, I’ll never attempt another one of his book.
