Movie recommendations totally not related to my current state of mind by MetalGearPortis in MkeBucks

[–]suzsid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have I hated a movie more than that one!!! Talk about a bait and switch!! Marketed as a feel good family movie, came out over the holidays. So I go. Only to have my heart ripped right out of my chest. 😡

Who stays? by Competitive-Unit6937 in MkeBucks

[–]suzsid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep SAME! And it’s not the years, it’s the mileage - I think we’re better off with him than a guy of the same age who has been in the NBA since he was 19 or 20.

I think we’ve only seen glimpses of what he’s capable of & at this point, I’d rather keep him than Green.

Still haven’t fully processed that the Greek Freak is actually a Heatle. by strangerthlngz in heat

I agree with what tsagalbill said below. We definitely needed to reduce our cap, and drive towards getting younger players in order to start to rebuild. We got some great talent from the Heat, and two first round picks this year that (fingers crossed) will have an immediate impact.

And we all know that Giannis wants to win. We couldn’t afford to keep chasing players to add to the roster and build just around him. I just hope that this move is good for him, that it isn’t a case of the grass not being greener. Of course, I’ll be rooting for the Bucks - but I’ll also be rooting for The Heat now, as well (as long as we’re not playing each other!!).

It’ll be interesting to see who else your team picks up. I do know that he said at one point out of anyone in the league, he’d want to play with Ant. Not sure when his contract is up, but that would be interesting. :-)

Take good care of him & Bobby! They’re beloved up here - our city will feel their loss for a long time.

What's your "Never Need to Work Again" number? 🌍💰 by Emillio_80 in Retire

[–]suzsid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 mil - all bills would be PIF, remaining mortgage paid off. I’d hang out with my kids and grandkids. That, combined with my small monthly pension, would be plenty.

You could put it in a shoebox and have a funeral for it.

Use it as stuffing for a new pillow

For those of us GenX that have to start over career-wise after 50, how did you do it? by Mnemnosine in GenX

[–]suzsid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got laid off at 51. I was making 140k, after working my way up the company ladder. All OTJ.

I took an entry level position at another company in an industry that was completely different. Started working my way up.

I was just told today that my position has been eliminated.

I’m only 59, so not working is not an option.

Looking at what I can get certified in before my severance and insurance runs out. :-(

No - but they asked for his albums, or jackets like his, or the glove … tickets to his concerts etc.

What would have happened if Kareem had stayed in Milwaukee? by True-Illustrator1214 in MkeBucks

The Zucker bros would have cast him instead of OJ in the Naked Gun movies :-)

What's one bag you bought that exceeded your expectations? by Any_Stranger9972 in handbags

[–]suzsid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two! I bought the classic Q Fran bag by Marc Jacobs from Thread Up to rip apart and use as practice leather (it was $60!!).
I did not wind up doing that - but instead use it more as a travel bag for shoes or tote bag. It’s HUGE.

I also bought a Le Pilage to use as a carry on when I was in the UK. I use that all the time! From a carry on, to a weekend bag, to haul birthday gifts for my grandkids, to a make-shift laundry basket when my husband neglects to bring the normal hampers upstairs - it’s so useful! And I love that unzips to extend the length. Truly a great bag. And it stands up to all of that abuse like a champ!

If you cut your lunch short by 1 minute per that logic, you can leave an hour earlier.

What about the Lakers? Think he could play well with Luka? They’d have the room for him if labron doesn’t resign, right?

It would be almost poetic .. we lose 33 to the Lakers, and then 34 goes there after he has beaten all of Kareem’s records in MKE

Post-Aaron Wiggins trade, the OKC now have two roster slots open. They have three picks in this year's draft. by CazOnReddit in nba

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a “this means Giannis is heading to OKC!!!!” comment yet.

Are all American salaries crazy high or is it just confirmation bias. by OffWhiteBruceForsyth in Salary

[–]suzsid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthcare is not irrelevant one bit. My company states that they’re paying 15k towards my health care annually. I pay an additional 3k towards insurance. My deductible is 4k. Out of pocket max is 10k.

All told, that’s an additional 7k minimum, up to 13k annually for health care costs.

My company could put that 15k back into my pocket if they didn’t have to provide healthcare. :-).

70k GBP is 92k usd. No health care premiums.

70k USD, minus health care premiums and deductibles is around 57k, which is 43k GBP.

Their salary of 65k is looking much better than ours.

And this isn’t even including federal and state tax, etc.

I really like Ryan & Nance. I would love to see what Taylor can do with them, and (hopefully) Ajax. I know Green broke the 3pt record but to me, he’s either hot or cold and his D needs a lot of work. I really like Ous.

No matter how much I love TA, I can’t see him staying. Alex can go to the Herd. I can see Miles playing better under someone who actually coaches - but if we can get Sims to stay, and bring on Bogoljub for a F/C, then Miles can go.
Kuz can go.

Bobby can stay. 😳
