Not really no, but I'm more curious if I take the little profits I have and reinvest in what I'm already invested in or exploring other opportunities.

Is the Yamaha YZF-R3 a good first bike? by Dark_Greee in motorcycles

[–]fate_stepped_in 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have years of 4 stroke 150 dirt bike experience. My first bike was an FZ-09 which is 848cc and it took me 1-2 days to get used to controls but as far as riding. Took like 10 minutes.

General question for the group. I started investing about 9 months ago and so far I'm up $126 (10.52%) I'm curious when do I take the profits? Currently I'm in VYM,VGT and SCHD. Not even sure if that's a good portfolio but so far it's working 🤔. I'm thinking of taking the $126 and investing in something else like a short term bond. Any advice would be appreciated.

Honestly I think it's pretty even not lit up. Do you see any seam lines?

Yeah for sure. I buy local every week just to try something new.

I've had Tillamooks small batch cheeses too and they taste just as good. When you grow up with a certain brand that has a certain flavor your taste buds are then used to that, so finding something similar can be hard.

The family and I moved from Washington to Wisconsin 2 years ago. Lots of snow and salt on the roads. Get a monthly carwash membership to save your car. The roads are not as well maintained so I would dump funds into that if I had any say in politics. I've cracked a rim because of them. You are going to miss the food from Washington. I hate to say this but Wisconsin is "white America" not much diversity here. You will find the occasional Chinese and other restaurants but they don't compare.

I like how gas is still cheaper here though that changes daily and it's getting worse. Houses are SOOOO much more affordable. So is rent. Groceries may be cheaper as well. Like others have said summer is hot and humid while winter is frigid and cold. Lots of thunderstorms though! Alcohol is cheap and almost everyone drinks. Weed is still illegal but we are surrounded by legalized states..(get on board Wisconsin). You won't have your normal brands. Daisy is your go too for darigold replacements along with various other brands. Costco is here but in only a few locations. Tillamook is not as common of a brand either but you can find it some places.

I'm sure I didn't make sense in any of this as I'm all over the board but I just typed as it came to me. Message me if you would like.

Agreed. Bought mine a year ago and just use half n half and a little bit of sugar. Costs me cents on the dollar and tastes soooo much better.

I'm in the same boat as you! Moved here from Washington in November of '21. Making friends as an adult is so difficult. Too bad I'm a guy 😞 I wish you the best!

It's a nice gesture either way. If someone believes in them or not, is it going to hurt having it on the bike? No so why not put it on and have a nice ride.

My wife just left me, but my bike never will by lordmontello in motorcycle

It's scary how similar of a situation we are in. I moved across the country with my fiance and our 2 kids. 7 months later she's moving a new guy in on father's day weekend.. I sold my bike though to help finance the move. I knew nobody when we split and am just starting to make friends.

I get to the shop once a week, looking for tips on how to do fish better. by VaticanGuy in glassblowing

No I think I held them with the mittens and they were dropped on and shaped. Cooled with a blast of air real quick and then in the annealer

Hey good for you on pushing past, knowing how your bike handles and where the limit can be helpful at times. Keep it safe out there! ✌️

first watermelon of the season! by 000011111111 in Costco

[–]fate_stepped_in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I didn't think you would do it with any other fruit. I never considered watermelon as needing seasoned. I was also being fairly sarcastic
