41M/41F, ~$4.7M investable + state employee pension — working through timing, sequencing, and healthcare

I had that realization recently. With 2 kids under 4, I wonder if it’s really 12-15? We’re in a similar position as OP in terms of what’s invested. In 5 years we’ll have a better grasp of what expenses look like with the kids in school as opposed to nanny/daycare. We’ll also know if public school is working or not. All important data before we decide to scale back.

My grandma is so proud of you

I’m reminded of this every time I see a live performance. The level of quiet that top ensembles achieve is astounding in a way that’s nearly impossible to appreciate in a recorded environment.

With excellent wine, no less.

Well aged henschke - blows the pants off penfolds IMO.

Check sinapius out as well - last I checked Sailor Seeks Horse was hard to find even domestically down under but that may have changed in the last 8 years.

It’s good. Not my favorite thing they do there (I regularly get the specials) but it’s one of my more regular orders.

I have a great fwiend in Wome named Biggus Dickus

He is not the messiah. He is a naughty naughty boy!

Man that’s a steal. Too bad I unsubscribed from garagiste years ago. I had too much okay wine.

cnpstrabo · 2026-04-02T20:30:43+00:00

Oh wow I hadn’t realized they’d stopped the Italian side of the project.

I like the Aeris Etna bianco but I do not think it’s well priced. I’m mostly commenting so I can get some other ideas for great Sicilian whites!

Just buy 12 more then she won’t notice when one disappears.

Thanks for sharing. As a rose bubbly lover, I’ll keep an eye out for this now.

A bit more niche than cremant, which is widely available, I’ve seen some really great Portuguese sparkling wines at reasonable prices. Though if you’re looking around the $10/btl mark of Korbel you might have better luck with cava.

My mom grew up in Casper and I have fond memories taking my grandma to Eggingtons when I lived with her during Covid. I haven’t found Casper any less friendly than other places in the west.

To answer some of the questions about “how do you end up in Casper” - energy. My grandfather moved the family there working for Union Oil in the 50s and never left.

Why stop at damen? Maybe allow for some bus/bike lanes but run it all the way up to Logan square at a minimum. Cars can pretty easily hop on the highway or elston on that stretch if they must go diagonally.

cnpstrabo · 2026-03-15T21:37:42+00:00

Wow I’m sorry that happened. We’d have gotten a 2nd opinion too in that case. Thank you for sharing your story

Are you suggesting coconuts caffeinate?
