LAMP I met him on an airplane when he was sitting in the seat next to me going from Buffalo to Charlotte. I even got to sit with him at the Charlotte Airport while we were waiting for our connecting flights. This was somewhere around 2003-2005. He started talking to me when he saw the Bills polo shirt that I was wearing. Mostly we talked about family and finances, if you could believe it. As I found out out later on he is a devout Christian and his company does a lot of "life planning" so that people can properly set themselves up financially for retirement. Here is is today: http://consultingtjt.com/our-team/

When I first saw this thread I thought that they were talking about a Pats* player.

On a related note, I am absolutely flummoxed by friends of mine who are 55+ and who haven't planned for retirement at all.

IMHO: We did the x-country trip 5 years ago, Seattle to Chicago (flew on the other legs of the trip). 1. Seat only? Big mistake - you'll regret it instantly. Spend the nut and get the bedroom. The bedroom is worth every penny. 2. No wifi - bring your computer and make sure you have a good data plan on the phone. 3. For most of the trip, you'll have to tape your phone to the window to get decent data service. 4. You'll be the youngest person on the train by far. 5. Wait until you try to take a dump on a moving train. 6. A seat by itself does not give you access to a shower. 7. The train runs late - REALLY late. Anywhere from 6 to 20 hours late. The freight trains have priority for the entire route. 8. The food is OK, but BYOB. 9. The seats do not have individual outlets. There are outlets on the wall but it means putting a cord over the person sitting in the window seat (or having them put it over you).

I think that few, if any, expatriates on this board think of WNY weather as being "bad" or being the reason they moved away. Most of us moved away for the better economic opportunities that other places offer. I have lived in Buffalo, Montreal, NYC and Dallas and each of them have their share of "bad" weather.

...so how 'bout a "teacher meth" thread? http://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/crime/2018/07/27/teacher-arrested-after-police-find-meth-her-bra/849358002/ And would ya?
