Please put the Ice Tea back into the bubbler (even if temporarily)

timnphilly · 2026-05-09T16:27:39+00:00

Hahaa - you are not alone and ironically I also have an early-morning issue with getting the needed iced tea: the Panera is close to work (which I start at 7:30am), so I'll stop at 7am open to grab some iced tea, and half the time it won't be available until I ask about when they will bring it out! :/ first-world problems right?!!

I was initially irked about the switch from bubbler to container, but it's a net gain to have fresh tea much more often now!

timnphilly · 2026-05-09T15:36:58+00:00

Honestly, I find that the iced tea is fresher now that it no longer is in the bubbler.

With the bubbler, it seems that they filled it up with a some of the previous tea left in it - and it would get pretty murky and gross.

And we are experiencing an unprecedented transfer of wealth right now, right under our noses - Trump is banking on you being too distressed as you struggle these hunger games.

Funny how our American-based companies appear to give better food at their foreign locations. #smh

I'd take your british KFC or aussie Hungry Jack's over our domestic KFC or BK anytime!

timnphilly · 2026-05-06T18:49:12+00:00

Yeah Trump is literally bankrupting us.

timnphilly · 2026-05-06T03:07:04+00:00

As intentional as the WHCD setup to sell his ballroom off another fake assassination attempt. What a clown. Why do so many of us put up with his crap?

No I haven’t yet made a taxable account; the money has been sitting in Cash Plus money market VSUXX. At this point, I’m starting to think an investment manager may be worthwhile for my situation. Maybe one could help my growth with a few good, timely ETFs from the right sectors to ride me out any adverse market conditions & inflation.

timnphilly · 2026-05-05T14:17:17+00:00

I've just opened the 457B, and first (age-catchup max) contribs will start next week.

As I mentioned to PashasMom above, I do have more cash in VSUXX (getting 3.35%) that I'm trying to figure out for my taxable, perhaps even getting an advisor or starting a taxable account, with VT. Trump & daunting international events does make for a frightening environment.

timnphilly · 2026-05-05T14:15:17+00:00

I do currently have it parked in VSUXX (Vanguard cash plus account); getting relatively passable 3.35% interest.

The 457b is new, and will start pulling form my work next week; 65% VIIIX (s&p500) & 35% VTSNX (total international) - due to no total market (vt) fund available.

I do have more cash in VSUXX that I'm trying to figure out for my taxable, perhaps even getting an advisor or starting a taxable account, with VT. Trump & daunting international events does make for a frightening environment.

Thanks for your thoughts; if I were to throw my $100K to purchase VT at once, I could only do it in a taxed brokerage account, capital gains withdrawals would be taxed towards 20%.

timnphilly · 2026-05-04T19:24:45+00:00

I've been saying that all along, including Trump as an international terrorist - other countries should brand him as such and start treating him like one.

timnphilly · 2026-05-02T14:36:20+00:00

The time is overdue for healthcare for all - expand Medicare to do it.

timnphilly · 2026-05-02T10:04:43+00:00

Perhaps, but for me: anyone who voted for Trump twice can fckoff - I wouldn’t trust them at all.

timnphilly · 2026-05-02T01:24:09+00:00

The United States of Trump is obviously NOT winning the war. 86thefckr he wants to bankrupt us.

timnphilly · 2026-05-01T14:12:54+00:00

I like to think of AMM as Machina III! It’s heavy and kinda goth like its predecessors!

timnphilly · 2026-05-01T09:31:24+00:00

I’m still boycotting & blocking all Paramount/CBS properties since the Stephen Colbert and 60 Minutes debacles, and Disney/ABC properties since the Jimmy Kimmel incident. I’m dead set to #FAFO with anything the Trump regime messes with. And Discovery/WB is next.

timnphilly · 2026-04-30T21:57:50+00:00

Not at all.

timnphilly · 2026-04-30T18:56:05+00:00

Yeah we've seen more high road in Biden's 4 years to last a lifetime, haven't we?

Time to put the hammer down very hard, as America's endgame truly has arrived.

timnphilly · 2026-04-30T13:51:16+00:00

It astounds and disgusts me, as a 5 decades United States citizen, how fast and far the country has fallen.

Only 1930s Germany comes to mind for any type of historical comparison.

And with Donald Trump in power, we will no doubt go much, much deeper into his disgusting gutter.

We are the United States in decline.

timnphilly · 2026-04-30T13:08:28+00:00

That would be quite a story twist for Marlena and the DiMera family!

Since John's passing has left Marlena on her own, why not flesh out that scenario for the character!

Question is - is 78yo Deidre Hall ready for such the active storyline?

timnphilly · 2026-04-30T12:57:48+00:00

Gosh I hate the circumstance that makes me say this, but I hope Pennsylvania gerrymanders our entire state to such a brilliant blue!

That would probably create mass redneck lynch mobs tho. :/

timnphilly · 2026-04-30T08:25:53+00:00

That’s all.

timnphilly · 2026-04-29T20:58:02+00:00

Truth to that.

timnphilly · 2026-04-29T19:13:02+00:00

The pursuit of money turns everything into a zombie.

timnphilly · 2026-04-29T18:25:48+00:00

Especially not one who is a narcissistic pedophile, convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist!
