If you’re ever in Utah, look for a Harmons Grocery. They have cooking schools, real butchers, sushi, premium deli, and fresh seafood.

I have a good friend that I highly respect running for congress in California as a Democrat. One of the few political discussions I’ve had with her concerned Sander’s makeup. She was really bothered by Sanders’ sudden use of a lot of makeup shortly after taking the post at the white house. All I’m saying here is the…

LOL, I do maths.

I did financial record keeping and now auditing for a local branch of a large international non-profit organization. Their policy was retain records for the current year plus the prior 3 years. While I’m sure digital records of the transactions are saved much longer, I got the feeling that if original documents…

Exactly. You’ve already paid all income taxes on Roth contributions or the basis amount you invested. In other words, if you invest 3000 each year for three years with growth (completely pulled out of my rear for illustration), the value is now 15,000. You can withdraw 9,000 without penalty at any time because you put…

I grew up in a conservative community. I enjoyed watching Jersey Shore for documenting how others live their lives, but after watching the entire series, I never felt like I missed anything worthwhile in my youth. #GTL

One of my sons had a similar issue where he was withholding poop. We ultimately resorted to a gloved finger smeared in vaseline to effectively lubricate the pipes. He was obviously in a lot of pain and wearing training pull-ups at the time. Had the same crayon smears in every one. To this day, he still seems to…

A party without alcohol is just another meeting.

Disgusting when people don’t wash their hands.

I often wonder if tutorials like this are only written to write off the cost of a new component for the author.

I think it’s more about the mentality of people in the high-end market. Most aren’t buying a car for ownership. They view the purchase as renting a status symbol and a public image. No one is keeping the Porsche that long. I’d be surprised if they kept it longer than 6 months, so what the’ve created is a low cost…

Follow Warren Buffet’s advice. Just buy a low-cost investment fund. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/12/warren-buffett-says-index-funds-make-the-best-retirement-sense-practically-all-the-time.html

And lastly, I have no debt. There’s no burden on my family if I pass.

Do not fear investing. If you study finance, you learn you have to borrow from somewhere to make the investment. That borrowing always has a cost. If you went to the bank, you’d pay around 8% on an unsecured loan. Or, you can “borrow” from the opportunity to pay off your mortgage at 2.5%. Immediately, you’ve already…

Star for you. Came here to share the same sentiment.

Ever wanted to go back to Summer Camp? The BSA is offering a family program with out the need for one parent to attend a training conference at their national training center in New Mexico this year. Prices are very reasonable. Only requirement is at least one family member has to be a BSA youth or leader. I…

What about “How do I feel about the people I work with?” or “How will the relationships I’m developing at work benefit me in the future?”

If they are over retirement age, everything they share is suspect.
