I think you are on the wrong forum. Drag is a big part of gay history and an important part of our culture of “sticking it to the man”. No one said drag queens should be “worshipped”. If you are unwilling to appreciate drag, you will likely be happier on another forum.

I am a fan. My waisteline can attest! 🤭

I thought I was the only one who did that!! 😆

I enjoyed the first episode; interesting cast of characters - will probably continue to watch the rest of the season. It will never be as good as the original UK version (obviously!) but it will do.

GoodRx is certainly a good option - it is amazing how much difference there is in prices when you look at the various locations. A drug that costs $150 at CVS can be $50 at Walmart or Acme.

I presented a fire side chat at the office last week about what it means to be ab ally in the office. My talking points were built around this article - it is a good read. https://www.themuse.com/amp/advice/what-is-an-ally-7-examples

Ryan was in the movie “Lincoln Lawyer”. There is also a TV show on Netflix with the same name - no Ryan to binge on though.

Pretty much describes every frat party and bankers party I have been too. Don’t send your kids to college and keep them out of the business world.

I stopped by my local bank branch. They were only willing to take the £20 and £50 notes. They said the smaller denominations (5s and 10s) were already out if circulation. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for making me aware - I do have quite a bit left over from trips. 👍

I am sorry to hear that you had to experience this behavior. People will say hurtful things to their closest family, things they won’t say to absolute strangers. That has always surprised me. My family hasn’t been this bad. I could claim that it is because I am so fabulous (of course I am!), but it is mainly because they believe I am rich and they hope to inherit when my wicked ways finally do me in. If only they knew I plan to spend it all before I go, on boys and booze!! 😆

It is equally contentious in the USA! The answer you are looking for is “no”. 😉Pineapple does not belong on a pizza. Nor does peach or plum. But I am happy to sear pineapple, peach and plum on the grill as a desert during BBQ season (it really brings out the sweatness - really!) Stole that idea from Martha Stewart… 😁

I have been in San Francisco since Friday. Have seen quite a number of homeless and signs of neglect, but have not felt unsafe at any time. Mainly using BART to get around - have seen more homeless/panhandling on NYC subway and platforms than here in San Fransisco. I don’t want to travel through SFO without TSA pre-check though - the lines appear to be very long, getting through security checks. Glad to be back in San Fran; I’ve missed this place - may get a touristy tshirt to celebrate!! 😊

That 👆 is not helpful to a newbie investor. And this, my dear @keroscenefire is why you should avoid advisors and brokers (and your broke cousin with an expert opinion) - they expect to be paid even when they don’t provide value.

It didnt work out for the Beardstown Ladies (in a bull market!), so my honest opinion is that it wont work out for you either. (But Walmart is a good company…their stores are always packed) You do you, but I have walked that road and cannot recommend. https://thehustle.co/the-midwestern-grandmas-who-became-stock-market-celebrities/amp/

Partnerships can be both a blessing and a curse. Partners get married and then you are also married to their crazy spouses…and later ex-spouses. And their high maintenance kids, each with an opinion. No thanks! For a newbie with a little capital - Low cost, broad based index funds are the way to go, in my experience. Easy, tax efficient, liquid and flexible.

That is fair. I also doubt a newbie investor will have $200k for a down payment on a $1mil building.

“Waste not, want not!” Or maybe he thought you need more fiber in your diet? 😆

I suspect, like most of the younger generation, he has student loans to pay off. 😉

Play ball! I am always up for round two! 😉

I got stuck watching the first season. Maybe my expectations were too high. Couldnt figure out if the show was intended to be a parody or a serious but seriously quirky show. Does it get better towards the end of season 1 and into the following seasons?

I am sorry this happened to you. I like my providers to be active and passionate contributors so I can usually tell within the first 15 minutes how things will go. Always keep an eye on the clock and never let them run out the clock - would rather end early and save that extra they would charge me if we go over. on another prospect. Once you get to the point where you have gone over the hour, your options are limited and almost all unsatisfactory.

Take a look here for solid and free advice on how to attack this topic. https://moneyguy.com/resources/ The “Financial Order of Operations” is a good step by step guide. It reminds me of Dave Ramsey’s “Baby Steps” I listen to their weekly webcast on YouTube if the topic is of interest to me. Like @Kevin Slater I use and recommend low cost, broad based index funds to my friends. Avoid active management and high fees (products like annuities) - don’t let financial institutions pick your pocket. Just my 2c - PM me if you have questions.
