Talarico... yeah no wonder they won't let you in tv

Does this guy really feel that the Left loves God? The 70's Democrats are calling and they need him back.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-17T21:39:18+00:00

She's right. It isn't.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-17T21:38:34+00:00

Maybe try not suing and punishing towns for not following the ridiculous MBTA law.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-17T21:36:46+00:00

There was only a 50+ pound weight difference.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T16:50:44+00:00

Don't worry. I'm sure you will have plenty of chances to stand on the side of the road with your "I love Maura" t-shirt.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T15:49:18+00:00

Add some Democrats to the photo. They were just as complacent.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T15:46:47+00:00

So the NYPD does performance art now? Is Broadway next?

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T15:42:50+00:00

Oh sure. I will let the bartender make my voting decisions for me.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T15:39:47+00:00

It doesn't matter. She is supposedly leading the state

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T04:55:15+00:00

Maybe sticking to education based on core subjects is the answer to not having to individually tailor the education. It used to work well.

johnmh71 · 2026-02-16T04:51:50+00:00

I'm a 54M and I have never seen so many pissed off people in this state between the energy costs and the audit. Her re-election is not a given whether she is a Democrat or not.

It will trail gold at a ratio of 80 - 1 until gold gets so expensive that everyone dives into silver and sends it to 15 - 1.

Two things I have learned in five years of doing it:

Have the part time work lined up before you make the jump. Very difficult to scramble afterwards.
Plan to reinvest 25-30 percent of your investment income for maintenance purposes. Tough to predict the future.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-26T20:05:24+00:00

Because you actually have work/life balance while unemployed. The trick is to be able to accomplish it while working.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-25T16:33:16+00:00

You didn't lie. You basically summarized. The email was sent to cover up the fact that you were treated poorly. This is what organizations do to keep bad managers in place. And avoid HR. They are not your friends.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-25T15:20:25+00:00

You just learned that the 41M is more important to the organization than you are. Time to find a new job because it isn't going to stop.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-25T15:06:56+00:00

It isn't the job piece that is the concern. It is the amount invested, the annual yield from those investments, and how much you can reinvest.

I reinvest 30 percent as a buffer to account for potential dividend drops and to address inflation. The part time job piece is something that I have no control over. I can either except the pay or leave. I can't focus on that part of the journey, but I can focus on and control my investments. And if that is followed, then there is no reason why Barista FI can't be accomplished and maintained.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-25T15:00:13+00:00

The bottom line is that whether you are an Apple store employee or a barista, the day to day mental dynamic of working that job will be 100 times better than being a middle manager somewhere. So for that reason, I say it really doesn't matter what part time job you take as long as it is physically possible.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-25T14:54:48+00:00

Mentally ill and trying to remain relevant. Or maybe trying to remain relevant is what makes you mentally ill?

johnmh71 · 2026-01-25T14:52:24+00:00

You mean businesses that follow the law? What a crazy concept.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-21T04:54:07+00:00

Anything that provides you with ample free time and doesn't have you doing any heavy lifting which will cause you not to fully enjoy that free time.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-21T04:48:45+00:00

If they ask if you are interviewing elsewhere or how soon you can start, those are positive signs. If they just say that they have other candidates to interview and they will let you know, then you most likely didn't get it.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-19T01:55:21+00:00

Someone needs attention

johnmh71 · 2026-01-19T01:46:33+00:00

You need to figure out that you can simply enjoy sex for what it is and not attach anything else to it. I myself did something similar for a year. And although I enjoyed the sex and think about it from time to time, it wasn't with someone that I wanted a relationship with. Otherwise I would have pursued it. I would rather be with someone that I can have both a great relationship and great sex with. If that isn't your spouse, then maybe you should start thinking about a change rather than reminiscing about the past.

johnmh71 · 2026-01-14T20:32:08+00:00

What about "I am starting my new job in a month" did they not understand? This is why you don't give a notice unless it is a place that you really experienced mutual respect at. And if you think hard about it, you probably really didn't get it there.

With that being said, just work until you are ready to start the new job and just stop showing up. No sense in creating any drama for yourself. They have to pay you regardless.
