I checked the Vanguard Website. They offer brokered CDs around 5.1%. I had not heard of brokered CDs until now. This seems easier than dealing with all the various banks and their disclosures Vanguard had other fixed income options as well such as municipal and corporate bonds from 5 to 8%. I will do some research before deciding. Sorry I don't mean to advertise for Vanguard. I also checked Schwab. I should take a look at Fidelity also.

Face to face communication works best for me but my tax preparer transitioned to remote. At some point I may find someone else. She's pricey. But after 20+ years it's so easy to let her keep doing it.

Fixed it. Been a long week. 🌀

Thank you for sharing the article. That is pretty cool Aubrey Plaza was her roomie for awhile in NYC. I don't mind "dumbing down" if the production is still entertaining. Before the pandemic "Girlfriend" was a fun jukebox musical. Would like to see it again

I am aware of data that shows the probability of men self-identifying as gay increases as the number of older brothers increases. That information has been available long time I am not aware the data now includes probabilities for women. I want to listen to the NPR piece! I theorize that the root cause why some men are attracted to men is probably not the same as the root cause why some women are attracted to women. But that is just logic. I'm no scientist. I have 3 older brothers and a twin brother. No sisters.

With this week's financial news regarding inflation, might CD rates tick up next week?

Story arc starts out a bit like Sense and Sensibility, but way, way, way darker. Julianne Moore (Mary) made epi 1 watchable. She's great. Previews suggest George's scenes may get more steamy. Looking forward to that.

If it's on the Internet it must be true. Go for it!

Is the ice bath recommended? Seems like maybe not a good idea for a lot of people.

Khalil Ben Gharbia had a supporting role in epi 1. Very pretty A couple of scenes gave a nice tease. Looking forward to epi 2.

Cute? Yes Doable? Yes!! Gay? No I wonder what they pay for that apartment and also how much $$ he makes with that TikTok gig. Sounds like that is his source of income. Perhaps he'd be interested in some extra cash

The late Charlie Munger called it rat poison. Some of the younger technicians at work have plowed a chunk of their assets into crypto and associated gimmicks. They encourage others to consider buying. Me? No! I don't see it ending well.

NC State made it to the final 4. What a bracket buster! Who's going to win the tournament?

Johnny Weir was beside himself!! Was exciting to see such an amazing performance.

I see BMO Alto frequently ranked on the Bankrate.com CD page. I also see a large credit union out of Salt Lake City. While their CD rates are attractive I hesitate doing business without a local branch for face to face support. Am I being too careful? Do others of you have similar concerns? Also, are there other websites besides bankrate.com that are helpful for tracking best CD rates?

Chris Evert discussed Rene Richard's unfair advantage in women's tennis when Richard's transitioned M - F. You can Google it if interested. This does seem like a sports ethics question. One might ask why these athletes choose to compete when they have this advantage. Perhaps the sports ethics folks can address it. I don't know the answer.

They all discussed Kaufman's alter ego Tony Clifton. Must see interviews. Here is Tony Clifton with Dinah Shore https://youtu.be/0wRoyA8qj94?si=OlaMX_Ho6EsRGFpI

I knew one of Andrew Cunanan's victims. I had long before moved away and was not a longtime friend but we had been friendly. So when I read about it and connected the dots it was shocking and sad to realize he'd been killed by Cunanan.

There are interviews on YouTube of the cast of Taxi remembering his antics. Highly recommended. He was one of a kind.

I am not being snarky when I say you might need therapy. Sure it helps to get a reality check here, but with all you've described, your situation sounds super stressful and emotionally draining.

Boeing is getting very unpleasant publicity this evening on Last Week Tonight. In the meantime Boeing has been sued by passengers on that Alaska Airlines flight with door plug that blew out. I honestly don't know how this might affect the stock tomorrow but I am certainly going to watch tomorrow's trading. 3 passengers on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 where door plug blew out sue the airline and Boeing for $1 billion WWW.CBSNEWS.COM The lawsuit seeking $1 billion in damages was filed on behalf of...
