I see this quite often in my own neighborhood. Almost always women and they are older, not Milennials or Gen Z. I’m a dog person, but cant think of a reason why I would do this…subjecting poor Fido to the Walmart odor must be torture!

Ive never owned a toaster oven and didnt realize you could control the temperature well enough. Maybe I am thinking of older models.

⬆️ Over-share my man! 😆

It very much depends on what I am buying. As examples: Store brand dish soap works just fine for me. But store brand corn flakes is horrible and barely toasted so get too soggy - I stick to Kelloggs.

Yes sir! I’ve had a busy week!! 😉

I am more concerned with filing my taxes this year! I also sold significant parts (like 70%) of my equity holdings in 2024 and it resulted in capital gains…so uncle Sam, my silent partner, wants his cut. Moved into SGOV mostly. Luckily i have pushed Roth options to the max everywhere, the past 20 years, so those sales are not taxed. Not brave enough to buy just yet - i do think there is more pain to come. Another 5% drop and I will start buying. Non-US blue chips are looking interesting with a strong dollar in play and dividend yield support.

Now we all want to know…whats on your shopping list?? 🤓

I suspect it will be worse than you think. Not only do we have significant economic policy problems, but we have severe fiscal and monetary impairments (just look at the USA’s debt levels) and unemployment will increase as more automation and AI driven development takes root. I started preparing in August 2024 and continue to take steps to prepare. I would be delighted to be proven wrong.

If you have trouble keeping up with popular culture - please note that from now on, this will be known as the Tesla emoji: 🔥 (Thanks, SNL!)

I have two regulars - i see them every other week. Havent seen much of an uptick in rate, but I have upped the tip I give. Maybe it is because I hire mainly for massage that I havent bumped into the extraordinary rates. One of the guys will be finishing college soon and will likely move away for work, so I will have to hunt for a replacement…so will see how that goes. Luckily there is plenty of talent in NYC.

Hard to answer that without more information. In general, the best short term parking vehicles for funds are money market funds, high yield savings accounts, CDs and short term bonds or treasuries.

Yes, there is always risk, even if it is relatively low. But you can mitigate the risk by getting vaccinated.

Did you miss @ShortCutie7 comments from YESTERDAY? How more recent do you want? 🙄

Don’t dispair @mike carey I know the best Botox guy in NYC - he will take 30 years off of ya! You will be as smooth as Matt Bomer’s peach!! 😉

I can’t wait! When everyone hates it based on the trailer, I usually end up enjoying it. Plus Nathan Lane! 😆

I’ve read this story before. Same tone, same vocabulary, same basic story and same scar. 🫣 https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/117934-jasson-in-la/?do=findComment&comment=2107804

You may be right. But I see too much risk with very little upside. There is no doubt that Musk is distracted with other endeavors and that Tesla is facing a great deal of competition from China and Germany. PE is 108 - so I would not be surprised if it drops a lot more in the short term. Leaving this falling knife alone.

You guys suck at this! 😋Here’s how it’s done: 1. coffee 2. whiskey 3. botox 4. my fleshlight 5. Dana Winner (yes, go Google Dana Winner…I’ll wait)

Nothing wrong with asking. If they love the craft they may even be willing to offer some advice. Ive done this many times. My first time was actually with a traveling “masseuse” while living in Washington DC - he was very pretty to look at but had no mentionable skills. So I suggested to him, in a nice way, that I would show him how it was done. We both had a great time and he was a regular of mine for years. As with all things, the golden rule applies: “Have a dick, don’t be a dick!” 😉

If you frequently travel to locations with measles outbreaks, do speak to your doctor. I frequently travel to locations where this happens and got the MMR booster in 2018 because of that.

@BuffaloKyle But you didnt answer the questiom? We want to know your 5 things! 😉

The thought occurred to me as well, maybe they are together. I can picture them as a cute couple! If so (and I dont mean to gossip…much) I am happy for them and will gladly support them both!

Continuing off topic - I’ve never enjoyed the word “catamaran”; it is bulky, awkward and down right coarse. I prefer a more descriptive name like “two-ti-raft-ti”! But I will bow to the experience of my friend @mike carey who has more experience in wielding words like “didgeridoo” without blinking! 😆

I doubt he will be free…but maybe he will be available…. 😋

I’ve never seem one in use or even available for sale. You may be chasing a unicorn. As @pubic_assistance said - it is likely a BDSM table and not a massage table.
