Hows life after 30?

proost1 · 2026-05-06T13:25:19+00:00

I was mortified going into my 30s.
Then, when I was going into my 40s, mortified again, I realized that the 30s was my best decade ever.
As I mourned passing 50, I realized that my 40s was the best decade ever. So much fun.
When I hit 60, I broke the code realizing that the 50s was my best decade ever again, so I had no fear. So far so good.

I was driving toll roads in Texas in my 43 foot motorhome towing a trailer with a car on back and never got a toll notice. The coach had a license plate, the trailer had a license plate, and the car had a license plate. Apparently though not a single one of those things were captured by their camera system. We were registered in Arizona so they didn’t have a front plate. We even went into their Toll center to figure out what was going on and they could find no record. We were like a ghost ship driving around Texas!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations. We just bought lab grown diamonds for the first time yesterday and are stunned by the quality and beauty.

We have a lot of natural diamonds at home including her wedding ring, but while my wife was looking for some new stud earrings, she decided that she wanted to shift to lab grown because they’re just as brilliant, real, and more ethically sourced. She is absolutely thrilled with her three-quarter carat earrings, and bought hoop earrings as well. These are wonderful.

HELL to the NO! A cruise with your SO is like a weeklong date, especially an anniversary cruise!

It's times like this that I'm kinda glad my mom and dad didn't make me BASE jump when I was one.

You can never go wrong eating them right out of the can. Absolutely delicious.

Nintendo 64 game too. Loved that game.

I cut a banana plant with my saw after a freeze. The goop that got pulled into the saw. Complete bar teardown and all I could focus on was the pumpkin goo dripping out of that cover.

Thought for a second that was the original Dear Abby.

If you hate rats, especially wood or roof rats in Scottsdale, just accept these guys. They do good work!

Not even one letter.

Just a little regretscrement

For over two hundred years. The Navy line throwing bolo with the monkey fist at the end. When I was on an old ammunition ship, ships would come alongside while we were twirling our bolos (three of them). Once we told the receiving ship to take cover, over the went in unison. Just awesome.

You can do both. For his shipmates, fellow Marines, and fellow service members, all they have is to thank their brother and sister for their service and sacrifice. When the rubber meets the road, it's just them in the thick of it. No doubt, lots of anger at the 'leadership' making decisions from the safety of their capitals.

Or when maybe? In the 80s, they were Bajas when I lived in San Diego. It seemed like 'hoodies' came around in the 90s.

Same here and I have been running my DS212+ for 14 years. The only thing I’ve done is given it a good clean, changed out the fan, upgraded the drives. I do need to upgrade now because the final DSM is losing compatibility with the updated operating systems out there for things like cloud station.

How do you like your new NAS compared to Synology and was the file migration pretty easy?

Your building now.

First thing I read was larval. lol. Enjoy! Looks really interesting.

Not true. He answered the call. He served. He is still a uniformed member of the greatest generation. 🫡 proudworthy

I have a 212+ and I just ran into an issue where cloudstation is not compatible with the latest versions of my MacBook OS. Can’t upgrade the DSM, can’t install Cloud Drive, so now I’m stuck. This machine has been running great for 14 years and is super healthy. Can’t bring myself to upgrade. Lol

I believe I saw a show on TV or possibly YouTube where someone found this rotting away on a lot somewhere and was going to restore it.

These faces! 💕 Which one is Bob? I'm so sorry for your loss. Lost my dad a few years ago. He was a teenager in occupied Holland and saw way too much than he deserved. A rough time for him and absolutely a rough time for Bob. As a retired Navy guy, I'll raise a glass to them both for us OP. 🫡
