That's not what Dr Wachter said in his chirp. He said it is fine to not wear a mask in a crowded indoor space if you are okay with catching the virus. And, no, I and most others shouldn't care if someone catches the mostly assymptomatic virus at this point. We stayed home to flatten the curve and spare our hospital beds from reaching capacity, and we developed a vaccine for the world to use. It's done, move on.

This is great news and advice! I'm glad asymptomatic cases are on the rise, as opposed to life threatening cases. I am definitely Okay catching a virus that has little to no affect on the human. If only we can change the common cold to become asymptomatic as well! I will be following this leader's recommendation of keeping mask off in crowded indoor spaces. Thanks!

My position on gay sex is "pro".

It would be interesting to compare changes in life expectancy in locations with more restrictions vs fewer restrictions.

Very true. But those terms are nearly impossible to find these days. When I was shopping for LTC coverage about 8 years ago, all policies had a limit of 3 years of lifetime benefits. That limitation swayed me to not purchase LTC.

Ask the people of Shanghai how that's going. Conversely, I believe we'll find that the rules and lockdowns caused more long term health problems to society than the virus itself ever could have.

I looked into LTC coverage in my early 30s. I did the math and it made sense to use the money to maximize my Roth IRA contributions instead. They both would yield similar financial returns should I actually qualify for a LTC disbursement, but there's a 50/50 chance that I would not need LTC. At least with a Roth IRA I'd still have the money to use on other things or leave to my estate, should I not need the care. The only way the math wouldn't favor retirement contributions is if I needed the care when I was young and the Roth IRA didn't have time to grow before it was needed. However, I discovered my employer already provided me with robust short term disability, long term disability, and medical early retirement pension provisions. Therefore, I'm not buying LTC insurance.

This advise mostly applies to interviewing a financial advisor, but I suppose it could be adapted to brokers as well: 1. How are you paid? (If she won't tell you clearly, run. If she receives commissions from companies or products instead of from you, then she has an incentive to be biased towards products with higher comissions) 2. How were you invested before and after the 2009 crash? (If she's too young to have been working at that time, find someone else. Anyone can make money when stocks are going up. You want to find someone who didn't panic and had a strategy that you can agree with before, during, and after a major recession) 3. Listen to the questions she asks YOU. (What are your goals? Are you married? Will you be moving? What are your sources of income (rental homes, pensions, part time jobs)? Do you want to leave a legacy through charitable giving? Do you have other people who are dependent upon you for income? If she doesn't ask these things and goes right into suggestions to change your portfolio, leave. She needs to know the entire picture of your life and estate goals before she can adequately advise)

Thank Goodness Oliver let me pay him in cash. I still carry a wallet with cash and a checkbook. I'm able to write my travel agent a check, and he takes care of my hotel/airfare/cruise bookings.

Or just a fashion cock ring

I find a good old fashioned jock strap more appealing

I agree. But those were the figures presented by my employer's retirement management firm. Personally, I plan to remain in 90/10 stocks/bonds even into retirement. But my situation is unique in that I'll have an inflation adjusted pension to rely on that should cover 100% of my "needs". Therefore my investments only need to cover my "wants". In retirement, I don't plan on having more than 1 year of expenses in stable value. But if I didn't have a pension I may think otherwise.

Something I read. It was provided to me by my employer's retirement management firm.

I won't take credit for the idea, but thank you for the compliment!

I just saw Matteo while visiting Palm Springs. He responded to my text message within 30 minutes, and we scheduled an appointment for later that evening. He's a little less muscularly defined than his pictures, but the session was good. Nice uncut long thick tool. He made me very happy. He is a decent kisser. Just as importantly, he has a nice attitude. I will most likely see him again

The trick is to always owe them, not have them owe you. They have an incentive to open the envelopes and cash the checks payable to them before they get around to issuing checks payable to us.

I'm 39. My retirement accounts are 90/10 stock/bonds split. Even at 58 and retiring at 65, you don't plan to withdraw and spend 100% of your retirement fund at age 65, do you? You're going to want to leave much of it in stocks to grow and outpace inflation to withdraw when you're 70, 75, 80, 80+. Bucket 1: 1-7 years. How much are you going to withdraw in the next 7 years (right when you turn 65/66). Keep that amount in a stable value fund such as money market. Bucket 2: 8-15 years: How much are you going to withdraw in 8-15 years (ages 65-73)? Keep that conservative, but still keeping up with inflation. Think mostly individual bonds, and maybe some boring stocks like S&P500 index. Bucket 3:. 15+ years. Invest away! All sticks, mix of US and foreign, developed and emerging markets, small cap and large cap.

I always adjust my withholdings so that I owe them money, and don't expect a refund. This year I mailed my tax return with check on March 8, and the IRS cashed my check on March 14. Fast and easy.

I attended Wednesday ametuer night at LeBoy in February. There were about 7 guys competing, and 2 of them were hired to come back in the future. Let me just say this: watching the ametuers made me appreciate the professionals. Don't go out of your way to go on ametuer night.

I find paper tax forms with the instruction booklet the easiest to use. No internet connection required. It's a little too late to have the tax forms mailed to you from the IRS, but you can pick up the forms and instructions you need at the local IRS office, and some public libraries.

Hey, Providers. I'll be in Palm Springs April 7-11, and looking to hire each day. I'll be attending most of the Palm Springs Escort weekend activities as well. I'm staying at the Canyon Club.

How do trees feel in the spring? Releaved

I always carry a few postcards and postage stamps in my carry-on luggage, just in case the power goes out and I'm stranded or delayed away from home and need to communicate with my emergency contacts back home.

It depends on the airport. Some airports are set up where each airline is responsible for the operation and maintenance within its terminal. This was the norm with older larger airports, notably JFK. McCarran Airport (LAS) pushed the envelope by having the Airport operate and maintain all of the facilities, and merely charging the airline per gate/counter they use. Today, most airports follow the McCarran model.

That's happened to me many times, including from a massuer. They'd rather have the steady repeat business from a good customer then the one time infusion of extra cash. Someone refusing a tip gets brownie points from me. For most self employed providers, I don't tip because they set their own rate and that's factored into why I hire them. But I'll tip if they go over time, or accommodate my arriving late due to traffic, etc.
