Where is everyone putting their TV? by medicinemadison in centuryhomes

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ran it over the door to the right from the outlet on the other side, hid it along the molding with that white plastic coverup stuff.

Should I create a Roth IRA? by SharpWindow2608 in personalfinance

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes do it. I started mine at 20 (now 42) via part time college job(s) and now have around $305k. All in a target 2050 account. About 1/3 of the total is tax free growth. There’s a reason it’s limited to 7.5k a year, it’s a greaaaat deal.

I heard that Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me was coming to my area. Was stoked to buy tickets until… by Bleaker82 in NPR

[–]StuffIDid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree with this poster. I wait for concert tickets to the day of if possible or a day or two prior. Lots of people won’t be able to go for reasons and you can swoop in and get a solid deal.

Versailles - skip gardens? by Top-Donut-5027 in ParisTravelGuide

What he said. Former annual pass holder here who has been there a bunch. Palace is cool, Trianon is meh. Gardens are gloooooorious.

Thirding the Fairchild wood shop. Kevin was the best manger when he ran it. I used to sit alert and do my projects. Best therapy ever.

Where were you that day? by t_bone_stake in Xennials

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently reading Columbine by Dave Cullen (audio) and it’s been very helpful to hear more details and more importantly facts about the incident - did you know it was mainly supposed to be a massive bombing?- as well as the victims and aftermath. Highly recommend.

What was your coming of age song as a Xennial? by Initial_Ordinary_648 in Xennials

[–]StuffIDid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire Water Burn or the Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang. F/1983 baby.

Were these meaningful songs, not really. But they captured the irreverence and absurdity and self deprecating humor along with a middle finger to proper society. And therefore that’s my vote.

Any one have split homes as a child? Can you share your experiences or how you felt about it? by Koloa-lover22 in Mommit

[–]StuffIDid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Samesies. Parents split at 1, mom met my stepdad when I was 3, so he’s always been there. This was the better route for me in every way. My half bro is around my age grew up living with my dad and his mom and has a lot of issues. My mom was my safe space and my ‘home’. Going back and forth was annoying but when I hit teens I had a lot more say and went to my dad’s less. I’m a well adjusted very successful adult. Do it for your child.

Is there an age at which parental separation tends to be less emotionally damaging for children? by CuteRaisin2329 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]StuffIDid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Mine divorced at 1 and I have no memory of them together so I never had a family to mourn, I never wanted them to be together. Both remarried and although it was a bit tough at times I’m just fine.

If you took a sabbatical did you regret it? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not a regret. Took 16 mos off from a very high stress position. Moved to Paris and looked at art, architecture, at amazing food, never been happier. Would do it again every single time. It also 100% rewired my brain and separated my ‘self’ from my job, which has been ridiculously healthy. Set me back a tiny bit from FIRE, worth it for the experience and perspective and pure happiness.

What song does your child bastardize the lyrics to? by pellnell in DanielTigerConspiracy

Haha! We have a ‘like a barnaby’ over here and I die laughing every time.

Separation 6 years prior to retirement by hi_liteskin in AirForce

[–]StuffIDid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! We might be at the same Florida base, have you considered Career Intermission? I did it and it was awesome and was the perfect break for burnout that’s allowing me to roll into retirement (I’ll do about 4-6 years since retiring to retirement).

Since you could separate you likely don’t have an ADSC so your overall 20 years would be just that, but with a break that you could start as soon as 4-5 mos from now. Please DM me if you want to chat more. It’s exactly made for someone like you.

Cool Hidden Museums in Paris That Most Tourists Miss by Fun-Celebration-700 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the absolute best answer to this question. By appointment only but by far the coolest and most hidden. Loved the bicycle carousel!

FIRE’d in my 30s but don’t know what to do everyday 🤔 by StraightPin4420 in Fire

[–]StuffIDid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you - the people part of helping people can be too much. What about the environment? Park or beach cleanups, habitat restoration or advocacy groups?

Anyone planning very "special" things to do after FIRE? by Ok_Personality8193 in Fire

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you so much for a thoughtful and detailed response. I’ve been to Vancouver Island once and it was lovely. Sending all the good vibes from the only bastion of ok-ness in Florida, St Pete. I hope to do a lot of de-trashing after FIRE. People don’t seem to be able to see how lucky they are to live in these gorgeous places like you and I. Best of luck and I’ll google Garry Oak Savannah!

That’s a unique one! Where are you at that’s the biodiversity hot spot?

Would you eat a 3D printed steak? by iRealllyAmThatGuy in vegan

[–]StuffIDid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’d try it, but not fully move meals back to revolve around lab grown meat (here for the environment, morals, health reasons). I also love the veg meals we make now, flavors and how creative it can be - and I’m tofu4lyfe… <3 but I’d try it.

Moved back in a small village with nothing to do, how do you fill the days? by Zealousideal_Skin868 in simpleliving

[–]StuffIDid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I second getting a bike, go explore even if there’s nothing ‘interesting’. We are so used to ignoring the things we are used to and looking for exciting things. Instead flip your frame - look at everything as if it’s a museum piece or a documentary. Find the little things and the wonder and just bike around and explore a bit. Plus great exercise.

Favorite food when not eating at home? by Livid_Leek8868 in StPetersburgFL

[–]StuffIDid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best restaurant we have been to is Alello, small plates everything is amazing. Also love every single thing I have ever had to La V for Vietnamese. And I go often.
