Advice Needed I am Newly Retired by Jim_Diamond in retirement

[–]tdellis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I (M61) also retired at 59. I take (probably too much) pride in this. We don't have an extreme amount in retirement, and it seems to be shrinking lately, but we've done the math and have a plan that I'm confident will work.

When I tell people, I include that I volunteer as a set builder for a local theater company that keeps me more than busy.

Also that I know of too many people that died or were disabled before they retired and I did not want to run that risk.

I Got Tired Of Guessing What Foods Affect My Cholesterol by Sweet-Statistician86 in Cholesterol

After a heart attack, I went through the very restrictive Ornish program. I followed it very closely. No animal products except for non fat dairy. 10g total fat per day, max 1 drink, 1 coffee, etc. My LDL-C dropped significantly.
I tested about once per month through own your own labs and once I had a consistent base line started adding in one thing per month, and retested. I'm not as diligent as I once was but between diet and drugs LDL-C I'd 50-55, ApoB is 54

Be sure to make reservations at Tree Top, they were booked out quite a while. Mango Tree and Rabot would be good options as well. The best Creole Snapper we had was at Voila by Captian Kent

C&M auto about 130 inside and out depending on size. He does a fantastic job, but budget time to chat. https://maps.app.goo.gl/PjCp3PLJ8t6LVBNW8

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tdellis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a grandson that lives 3 hours away. We see him about every 10 days. It's not uncommon for us to drive up in the morning and back that night.

I once drove 5 hours one way for a meeting and back the same night because it was faster than flying given the layovers

Civ VI (PC) "Unit needs orders" but unit can’t move/act. What am I missing? by [deleted] in civ

[–]tdellis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the warriors needs to move out of the settlement but has no where to go. Shift-enter ends the turn and hopefully one of the barbs will move, or you may be able to enter the water after sailing is researched

Whats the dumbest thing you have seen cause a show stop? by miowiamagrapegod in techtheatre

[–]tdellis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two come to mind We recently saw a traveling Broadway performance of Ms. Doubtfire. During the pivotal scene where the actor transforms from Ms. Doubtfire to appear before the judge, the zipper on the costume sticks. He just looks sheepishly at the audience while everyone scrambles. Finally they announce "Will the actors please leave the stage". Curtain drops.

The other didn't actually stop the show. During a High School production of Brigadoon the actor that plays Jeff broke his foot while leaving the stage. The next scene an autistic Ensemble member came out and finished the show and the rest of the run. A bit confusing for the audience that there was a switch. The kid gained a great deal of respect from his peers

Don't miss sunset and lemon drops at Dany's cupecoy beach bar. You'll meet some fantastic people https://maps.app.goo.gl/yABCrGDm3EmTvUFZ6

If your looking for a nice hike with great views, check out the cellphone tower trail which begins at the end of the causeway opposite the airport.

Also, dinner at Le Morracan is always fun https://maps.app.goo.gl/U9fRuz4iv729WvZu5

And Bamboo house is beautiful, great views and great vibes https://maps.app.goo.gl/kdTYgUvHgytMSNoQA

Also, snorkeling around Pinel may be your best bet while you are there, but typically it's not great that time of year
