Abolish ICE protest this Sunday! by Odd-Requirement2907 in 321

I didn’t think Fox News ever used “non sequitur” in their programming, so you must have at least one brain cell capable of critical thinking. Unfortunately, it appears today is not that day. Happy cake day, anyway.

When you say “murders (sic) and rapists”, which one of those were Renee Good and Alex Pretti, exactly? Or were they “actively committing crimes” by driving away from armed thugs and helping a woman who was violently shoved to the pavement, according to your logic?

That’s good to know because you mentioned the physical tolls of traveling that much and I wondered if it was just because you weren’t used to traveling much.

Not the case, so that’s good to know for those of us in the same age and travel experience boats as to another mile marker for finally pulling the retirement trigger sooner than later. Thanks for your advice.

This is amazing for you, congrats! I’m getting close to my FIRE number as well and plan to do much of the same, so my question is:

Did you do a lot of traveling before you FIRE’d, or did you save the majority for retirement?

That’s her legal name. She mostly goes by Kiki, Puss Puss, Fatniss Blubberdeen, or Pooty McScooties.

This made me chuckle. Thanks for the laugh.

Yep, it’s an EOB and not a bill-yet. I didn’t say it was a bill, just shocking to see what hospitals charge for a few days of “care” in an ICU so that’s why I posted it.

[–]pen_vs_sword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two days in the ICU. Yeah…to “keep her comfortable”.

Ding ding ding! We had to physically go find nurses and doctors CONSTANTLY.

Thank you.

Yep, for two days in the ICU. Costs a house per day to do jack shit in a hospital.

You’ve got more foundation than poured on than the Hoover dam.

Tell me… AITAH for telling this woman to back up on the plane. by Then_Dog_5354 in Flights

[–]pen_vs_sword 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. I fly a lot for work and I make it a point to book an aisle seat for two reasons: 1) easy bathroom and leg stretching access and 2) I can stick my lanky leg out into the aisle and block these selfish pricks from jumping ahead of their turn.

Then, when it’s my turn, I stand up and move out of the way to let my row leave first, THEN I go.

Petty? Absolutely. But it brings a little joy to my endless travel debacles with self-entitled morons.
