  1. I have been contributing to my 401K since the early 80's, we are now over 50 years old and max out every year with the extra 5K per year. Because my wife and I have been at different jobs, we have five what I call "Abandoned" 401Ks which have no new cash going into them, but are part of our nest egg. One of my wifes' former employers deprecated their pension plan and she received a lump sum which we rolled over into one of these "abandoned" 401k's.( I was hoping that pension would have stayed since it would have been around 1200 per month for her.) My biggest failure is that between the 5 abandoned and our two current 401Ks, each one was set up with a strategy that made sense at the time it was opened, but neither one is appropriate for our current goals. I wish there was a way to consolidate them without losing the diversity that they offer across multiple firms. I have also have a modest trading account that I use for trying out different stocks that get my interest. I have Jetblue since we like the company, Ford, since I believe in the product (and they offer a dividend), GE, INTC and CSCO for the dividends. Some other stocks that I go in and out with in this account are things like TASR since they came up with a great body camera solution in the wake of the Ferguson mess, as well as some small biotech stocks that show promise and tech stocks.
  2. Letting squatters use my shower makes me happy
  3. This was already determined years ago
  4. Patriot* fans cheering
  5. But is that upper right while looking in the mirror? That would mean it is upper left no?
  6. I think Nick in England is now Nick in Ontario since he moved last season. Gunner Bill is now a great source for info.
  7. Soft / Spring skiing is great for beginners as long as the cover doesn't turn to slush. If the mountain is groomed properly, it can be a great day or two of skiing. If the groomers are not on top of it, it can be a nightmare. As I recall HV had a pretty good crew and are good at making the snow last and with a good base, you could be in for a treat. The soft conditions allow the skier to translate the body movement easier to the ski and therefore the surface of the snow. Since you are not engaged in the delicate balance of "just the right edge pressure" required to carve on a hard surface, your turns will come a bit easier. The edge of the ski only needs to begin the turn before it starts the carving motion, as long as you follow through on your turn initiation, you will be fine. Remember anything you learned on hard surface still apples in the soft stuff, its just the amount of work and edge pressure will fluctuate with the softer conditions. Have a blast!
  8. I think you may be correct, I also think this crew was the same that inhabited the settlement in Virginia where Noah grew up
  9. I hope that is the plan, a quick signing of Hughes would take the sting away from losing Alonzo.
  10. Also, was this clan run out from the other location in virginia where they went looking for safety? The place that was Tyreese was bitten. Same kind of setup, walled community, set apart from others. Also where the headless torsos were found and the heads with the "W"s carved in them.
  11. Did anyone notice that the woman that gave Rick the haircut, also the one from the food pantry, had a tattoo on the inside of her right wrist? She is kinda homespun, clean cut MILF look and feel going, but then she has this gnarly black tat on the inside of the wrist. Wolf Tattoo?
  12. Wow, went from "Won Hung Lo" to "Mei Tu Fuk"
  13. Amazed that it already a year. Keep up the great attitude, Carpe Diem or something along those lines...
  14. We are landing Friday morning, Staying in Paddington Fri/Sat nights. Not sure where we will be Sunday night, but Monday AM heading to Ireland for a 5 night tour!
  15. I have a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell! Loved the show, I also cringe when the Californians comes on, thats ususally when I go for another beer. Kristen Wiig is hot, but she seems so shy. I love her Lawrence Welk skit where she is the deformed "other" sister to the singing sisters. Wish I would have taped it.
  16. Just another "Local boy does good" fluff piece.
  17. Thats not a cougar, looks like a water buffalo
  18. My bad, I thought this would be Go Pro on a pole dancer....Now that would be interesting
  19. He has a bad ankle, probably career ending
  20. I have an Iphone, so it was at the apple store.
  21. Try a free app called "What Was There?" It allows you to look at a building or location from another time period. Example, I stand in front of my office on Park Avenue, there are 4 different pictures of the building one from 1890, one from 1913, another from 1955 and another from 1988, Select one and and the picture displays on the screen of your phone, you can increase or decrease the density of the picture so you are looking at the present building with the "Ghost" of the old picture overlaid in the viewfinder. Its pretty cool to see changes through the years.
  22. Based on her picture, it looks like her cat would be mangy,
  23. Not really news, 1:30 London is 9:30 am NY time
  24. Any Saturday night plans yet? We are trying to look for a hotel near the party and Sunday plan on being near the stadium.
