At my work, the Z'ers have a bad habit of not researching existing policies and articles, but instead asking the same questions over and over in different places.  I can't believe not looking something up is still a thing when looking up the answer is so easy nowadays with a Search function or Control+F.  They don't even have to know the alphabet anymore to look things up in alphabetical order!  When we made it so simple that you don't even need to know your ABC's anymore to go to work or fiction in society, God help us all when the Z's can't even use Search 🔎 

About a dozen years ago they dug up a large stretch of Palm Canyon Drive in downtown Palm Springs to upgrade the sewer and water lines. Guess what else they dug up? A lot of big roaches, which scurried all over the sidewalks. Unfortunately, you can't completely get rid of them.

Dow above 50,000!

He wants to have his cake and eat it too...  And life doesn't always work that way.
As an Olympian, you have to adhere to a certain set of rules.  More so when you're a sponsored athlete.
He needs to make a big boy decision.  

This is the episode to which you are referring.
The Betty White/Allen Ludden segment comes on at 15:25.  Even at this early stage of their marriage, one can tell they are truly in love.
The segment immediately preceding the Betty and Allen segment - the guy who makes sauerkraut - is pretty funny.

As someone who has been carjacked at gunpoint, mugged at gunpoint, and punched and mugged, I'm very leery of putting myself into a potentially dangerous situation, so I'm not going to stop on the side of the road at night. Hope you have a full and swift recovery. 

If you're considering investing some of the money in stocks (which you should do if you don't plan to spend some portion of it for another 5+ years), you might want to look at a simple target date fund, which will give you an idea of a good stock-bond allocation based on when you plan to retire (or are already retired). Being in Europe, you'll have to decide whether you want to invest solely in European stocks, the U.S., or the entire world (the US stock market has been outperforming international stocks for quite a while but international stocks beat the US last year, which may signal a long-term shift or it could be just a temporary blip). 
If you are domiciled in Europe, you'll also need to consider your country's tax rules.

There's this group, which is gay-friendly and meets at Starbase 505, which took over the military-themed room in Antique Galleries.

(Meetup's search suggested that I might also like a lesbian group's Build a Vulva workshop 🫣)

I played bridge regularly in high school and college.  After college, not many people played any more. When they took the bridge column out of the newspaper, i knew the game was dying.  I did not realize that newspapers were dying too.  I sometimes take a deck of cards and play out bridge hands I have dealt out.  I almost always win.

I know some people worry that they may be getting scammed when they see someone in need. It does happen all too frequently . 

First figure out when you'll need/want to spend the money.
Are you going to pay cash to buy a new house in the next 5 years?  Are you going to slowly withdraw a little each year for the next 10-20 to supplement your income?  Or is it all going to be tucked away for 30+ years and left to relatives or a charity? 
Once you know the timeline of when the money is going to be spent, a Financial Advisor can help you decide where to put it in the meantime.  If you're going to spend it all within 5 years, keeping it in cash, CDs, etc , makes sense.  It won't grow much and may not even keep up with inflation, but at least you won't lose anything.  If you're going to keep it 10-30+ years and very slowly spend it, then investing in the stock market (an index fund) will help it grow faster than inflation even if the value drops occasionally due to recessions.

I would definitely need to hire a fulltime housekeeper.

There's a good argument to be made that gold is now just a meme stock.
