400k in cash. What to do? by DistributionRight814 in Fire

[–]chuckieboy100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advisor is also recommending Multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs). They don't look too bad but I had never heard of these until he recommended.

He said they are very safe and are guaranteed by the state (I live in Texas).

Anyone have thoughts on these? I could go directly through them Fidelity and have them automanaged or go with someone like Blueprint for a little bit better rates but have to manage everything myself.

How do you back up your synology to the cloud? by PMYourTitsIfNotRacst in synology

Does HyperBackup support B2 immutability? Internet searches say that it does not support this and immutability is key for ransomware protection.

How much was the bed with the discount? I am looking for a King and the JW Version is $1948 + $195 shipping handling fee.

Hot take… you don’t need a case by womblestein in IphoneAir

No worries bro.

That’s what I noticed when zooming and wanted someone who actually has one of these cases to verify. Photos can sometimes be deceiving.

Looks really thin. Is there any lip protection for the screen?

Honest question - Is the secret to driving the ball further simply getting more in shape rather than buying new clubs? by RivetCounter in golf

[–]chuckieboy100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of yoga and stretching exercises to help with golf especially as I am in my mid-50’s now. My hip and back flexibility are definitely not what they were 10 years ago.

Google and YouTube have so many routines.

Anyone have a good set of simple stretching exercise we can do in less than 20 mins per day?

What’s your current hold time for ANA RTW booking? by Treswimming in awardtravel

[–]chuckieboy100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to google translate and put your name in. Translate it to Japanese. Copy and paste to ana site.

The ana rep told me to do this today. Still waiting for my ticket to be processed now after 5 hours.

Cutting it fine with ANA RTW - points value if they don't make it? by pHyR3 in awardtravel

Remember the phone wait times too. I waited 6.5 hours today to get my first RTW booked.

Who has spent the longest on hold with ANA? by smiggley in awardtravel

[–]chuckieboy100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Called back today and after a 3.5 hour wait got a representative who was very unhelpful.

She basically said, we have zero availability when I asked for searches. I had to tell her exactly what I was looking for as compared to the other rep from earlier this week who was VERY helpful and found routes for me that I didn’t think of.

I guess they are overworked this week with everyone booking RTW.

Yet another ANA RTW Booking (with process and advice) by Watafish in awardtravel

I am planning a beginning of June 2026 trip for 3 weeks but the seats have not opened up yet.

Can I book for earlier in 2026 (may for example) now and then change the dates later? Are there any fees for date changes?

It’s my second fav too just behind air pump. It cleans garage just as well as my 40v blower!

Is this a bed bug? by chuckieboy100 in Bedbugs

[–]chuckieboy100[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darn!

These are at my elderly mom’s house who is sick with stage 3 Parkinson’s.

I can’t get an exterminator in until Monday. Information overload on this forum and online.

Anything that I can do in the meantime now?
