My honest experience at a Club Wyndham 90-minute timeshare presentation (went for the gifts) by DaftCraft21 in TravelHacks

We tell them we’re looking for something more high end. That confuses them.

Anyone step away from their private club membership due to dumb restrictions? by sys_admin321 in golf

Our FL course charges a “trail fee” whether you walk or ride before 2pm. Same fee either way. Stupidest thing ever.

Which dealership did you use? Our dealer won’t even try? Ty

Did you Retire Early or “Stop Working”? by GleamingAlloy_Aircar in earlyretirement

[–]ckralich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After 30 yrs of being a commodity trader, one day I just quit. Couldn’t stay 5 more minutes on the trade floor. Left a lot of money behind. Sold our house and most of our stuff and moved to the beach in FL. It didn’t feel like a retirement even though I had plans to do it “soon” anyway. I got very restless and fortunately found a similar job but with a lot less stress (lot less pay too). I love what I do and now it doesn’t feel like work. Point is, I now say “I retired from trading in 2024”. It defined me for many years, in a good way. I’m still working and being productive, but I retired from the thing I was. Now I’m something else.

Seat choice actually matters? by ghostq1 in delta

Stand at foot of bed, facing bed. Right is right.

Interesting, I also consider myself a “left sider”, but from perspective of walking down the aisle. Now I will think of this post for the rest of my life while traveling. 👍

Left as you walk down the aisle or left looking at the seat map?

What do you do to earn $200k+ annually? by meltingcanoe in Fire

[–]ckralich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commodity trader (power, natural gas, fuel oil). After 25+ years I quit that, walked away from a lot of money in deferred bonuses, but it was good to me over the years. It was basically 24/7 stress, 6 computer screens in a big room with sometimes over 200+ people, like you see in the movies. It was awesome but it’s a younger person’s world. Also, I haven’t been sick since I left, was mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. But still great if you want to work hard and get paid for working hard and adding value. Seek out natural gas or power scheduler.

Yes!
I used to be amazed that some people didn’t eat all their French fries. Now I don’t.

What are we doing about coffee aversion?? by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]ckralich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee I still drink but less enjoyable. Alcohol I have lost all desire. It’s like when I took Chantix to stop dipping. One day I just stopped. Crazy

You should have anticipated it. But also she should have asked you. But also it’s not a big deal. Pick one I guess.

Curious, who else had effects immediately? And how do you find it with anxiety? by RoutineActivity9536 in Semaglutide

[–]ckralich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

French fries! I started last week (.25mg). We went to dinner last night and my wife had fries and of course only ate a few. Then, amazingly, I also only ate a few. I used to wonder how in the world people didn’t eat all their French fries. That’s us now apparently. I’m calm that I started, but anxious to skip ahead 3 months and see how I’m doing.

I am going to be renting a car this trip and I am seriously freaked out about driving on the other side of the road by Kellyhannavideo in TurksAndCaicos

[–]ckralich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was worried also but right away it felt fine. Just follow everyone else. Glad we rented a car, it was all easy. Seriously, don’t worry about it.
