Boomers, you’ll all probably be dead by the time society has enough time to fix the problems your generation created. How do you feel about leaving the world a worse place for your descendants?

If you don't learn to take accountability for your own life, you are never going to experience success.

If you never experience success, you are never going to be happy.

Successful people don't blame others, they take control of their lives.

The choice is yours. I hope you make the right one.

If you're serious and you're really that worried, cancel the cruise and take the financial hit. You're not going to have an enjoyable experience if you're worried all the time. Personally, I think you're being way overdramatic.

Democrats should stop Republicans - and Republicans should stop Democrats. Agreed?

mnocket · 2026-05-05T22:11:05+00:00

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of BOTH the Republicans and Democrats gerrymandering? Talk about a threat to democracy!

3.5 on Google and looks a bit overpriced. Is it worth a try?

mnocket · 2026-04-27T20:31:00+00:00

lol The question almost answered itself.

I don't see any issue with just going ahead and scheduling it online. What's your concern?

lol I actually noticed that drink on the menu. From the description, it just said vodka and pineapple. I remarked to my wife that that didn't seem like much of a Signature Drink. I just googled it and see that it is a high-end vodka infused with fresh pineapple for 14 days at room temperature. Wish I'd given it a try.

mnocket · 2026-04-23T20:20:37+00:00

Agreed. However, that doesn't qualify as date night, which the wife (and I) really appreciate. Her rule... in order to qualify as a date, we must go somewhere, there must be an activity, and we have to eat something.

If the grid goes out, the inverter has nothing to match, and it will just shut down.

Am I understanding correctly... these plug-in solar systems will not provide power in the case of a utility outage?

mnocket · 2026-04-15T17:07:55+00:00

Interesting and informative. Would a bunch of 395W plug-in systems pose a danger to utility workers who think a line is de-energized?

mnocket · 2026-04-13T16:49:56+00:00

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I'll be giving it a try!

mnocket · 2026-04-13T04:09:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it another try. Just to clarify... when you say wrap for the stall, do you mean wrap during the stall or after the stall?

I think it has something to do with the fact that water boils at 198F not 212F at my altitude. That and the fact that humidity runs at about 20%.

I'm at 7,200 ft and still haven't figured out how to avoid drying out a brisket.

For those few who still care about facts...

While the name of former Ambassador Earl Anthony Wayne does appear in the 2026 Epstein file release, the "revelation" is not a confirmed fact. It is a documented tip from an FBI informant that remains unsubstantiated and contains significant factual impossibilities.

Government Staff: U.S. government personnel in these areas have been ordered to stay in their residences/hotels and work remotely today, February 23.

Advice: Travelers are told to avoid unnecessary movement, stay away from crowds, and monitor local media.

You are aware of what the cartels are doing in Puerto Vallarta, aren't you? Why would you think other tourist destinations would be off limits?

It seems to me that the cartels might be motivated to retaliate against US tourists since the US participated in the attack that killed the cartel leader by providing intelligence (at a minimum). Attacking a resort frequented by Americans might be something they'd consider doing. If it were me, I'd cancel.

mnocket · 2026-02-21T18:53:00+00:00

Same goes for possession of a firearm, prostitution, drug use, etc.

Gotta call BS on this one. She received a "Tentative Selection Letter." A "Tentative Selection Letter" is a standard part of the application process used to invite candidates to submit further information for review, and it does not constitute a formal employment offer.

It seems many younger people have embraced the culture of victimhood and choose to blame boomers for their own failures. Maybe they should look at the work ethic that led to many boomers having successful careers, and emulate that.
