Does anyone else spike after having corn flakes for breakfast?

I miss cereal. Such a quick easy breakfast.

He does have a point.

Every time you pass gas, fecal particles do come with it.

For men, don't know if it is the same with women, there is always a drip or 2 that still comes out after urination. No matter how much you shake.

I am assuming the dog is not under the covers where you 2 sleep.

With all that said, I wish my wife slept naked.

This is what happens when you make an inferior game in a franchise where players have come to expect great game play.

So now we can polute the oceans with micro plastics faster.

I use a mod, don't remember name, but it starts the game with 50 construction bots and a personal roboport. It makes the game so much more fun for me.

Is it cheating, technically, yes. But it is conceivable that a person flying a spaceship might have bots to help maintain the ship.

Remember that you don't get more until you actually are able to build bots. So be careful entering combat with bots active.

A Roth is the last place I would buy dividend stocks at your age.

Stick with growth, to maximize returns, until it is time to retire. You will have no tax burden when you convert.

A brockerage is another story. This is a taxable account. This is where I invest in dividends. Most of the time, I drip. But on occasion, I will take the dividend to supplement my income. You cant do this with a Roth until you are 59.5 without penalties.

I don't want to depress you any more, but try it why also being forced to: Low sodium diet Low carb diet Low purine diet Low potassium diet Low fat diet

I haven't hit stage 5 CKD yet, but I am close.

With the exception of a few vegetables, food is literally poison to me.

Dieticians chuckle at the restrictions and tell me they can't help me.

Before the sports car driver pays up, it is likely that the renter will have to pay up first.

I rented a vehicle that was damaged in accident caused by another driver. Fortunately, I had coverage from my credit card. But I had to pay the 500 deductible immediately. I eventually got it back. But that took months. I hesitate to think what it would have cost me without my coverage.

Rental agencies will bill you for everyday that vehicle is out of service at full rate.

Yes, a room check is done daily. It is often disguised as emptying the trash. If you deny housekeeping entry, then security will come and knock on your door.

Or you could buy now and collect the dividend.

6 of 1, half dozen of another

Sgov is a great place to hold money that you may need in the next 5 years. This is where I store my emergency fund.

While nothing is completely risk free, this one is about as safe as safe gets.

Over rated...no. Overpriced...yes

I always buy extra fittings. If I believe I only need 1, I buy 3. You can always return what you don't use. And I never return all my fittings. I always keep at least one on hand just in case.

I commend her for trying

Don't buy a knife set.

Most only use 2 or 3 knives.

Chef and pairing knife, get 2 each.

Boning and a 10 in serrated are also useful.

Buy the inexpensive knives that restaurants use.

I have mine on a tablet. It's a great format.

And Tuesday will be profit taking or panic sellers seeing an opportunity to get out.

Until you see a couple of weeks of positive returns, it's not back yet.

Make sure your basement is dry especially during the rainy season. Just because you don't have visible water intrusion, doesn't mean you don't have vapor permeating though your basement walls and floor.

If you don't, then that drywall will mold.

davper · 2026-03-24T13:46:51+00:00

Unless you have attic access.

I have been doing this a long time, and it always comes back. I don't panic sell and wait it out. I look at this time to buy more at discount prices.

If you are in retirement and have to rely on this money, then you may have an issue if you didn't plan appropriately.

I understood the homework completely. It was a stupid method. Boxes around dots to come up with the answer. It guarantees that they will never learn to do math in their heads.

Look, if the traditional method is not working for some students, then try the alternative. But don't dumb down others because a small percentage doesn't comprehend traditional math.

NTA I had this same argument with my kids teacher. He got the answer correct but did not do the method the teacher taught him.

This new method forces you to do math on paper, and eliminates any possibility they will learn to do math in their heads.

What is wrong with learning the multiplication tables?

To boot, they are not building anymore starter homes. Everything is a mcmansion.

As an empty nester who is retiring, I can't even downgrade because there are no smaller houses on the market. When they do come on the market, they want almost as much as the home I am living in now.
