I have it. The birds love it. Briana was a Blue Crown, like Paulie. Amazing and loving parrots. I miss her so much.

My pug Tabitha HATES the MGM lion and tries to jump through the TV to get it. She also hates those "The General" insurance commercials. She thinks "The General" cartoon is weird looking I guess. I can't watch Animal Channel with her in the room either. Pugs have eyes similar to humans -- is what I read.

My birds have been afraid of snakes on the Animal Channel. Pete will try to climb into the TV though to be with other parrots. It's hilarious. First he will try to lift his left leg over the TV frame. Then he will turn around and try with the right leg.

That, and missing the re-runs of Seinfeld..**

My dad took an early retirement because of shit happening at United at the time. Within two years, he was back working again. Said he needed some time off from retirement. Has stayed working part-time ever since. He currently works for one of the companies that work the piers for the cruise ships here in Seattle.

(**which would be odd for me, 'cause I never watched the show when it was on to begin with. :giggle: )

When I was young, I was a wood model maker for the auto industry. Worked in a big shop awhile, and the brothers who owned it had a LOT of businesses. Their DAD ran the tool crib. He had to be 85. I said to him "Pete, why are you working? Your kids are rich. Tell them to get you a nice place in Florida." He said the same thing, all his friends who retired, soon expired. Gave him purpose. NICE old guy too, loved talking to him. SO much wisdom and experience.

I still want to retire soon. Not gonna sit in front of the boob tube all day. Gonna fish, do artwork, maybe some T-SQL contract work, or maybe even a Walmart greeter. I'd love to just do some beach artwork and sell my stuff like a little hippie. lol. Paint some seashells, make necklaces. and vape all the day long.
Some time soon --- got all the paint now---- I'm going to paint a huge mural in one of my extra bedrooms of the swamp. With cypress trees and all.

Both my parents were in moderately good health... until they retired, then it went straight into the toilet, both of 'em. Now they keep BP in business, they've got pills for pills for the other pills. :facepalm:

My husband says he will never retire, and I'm really glad; #1, he has no retirement other than SS, and #2, I want him to outlive me, even though he's 8.5 yrs older.

I swear these damn digital thermostats only last 5-6 years. This will be my third one since putting in the furnace.
Click to expand...
I only change my thermostat when Lennox releases a new model. I work for a Lennox dealer and get amazing deals when they release a new one. Currently I have the iComfort S30. Basically a 7"Android tablet on my wall. If you want a good thermostat, spend the extra money and get a Honeywell. I always liked the Vision Pro 8000. Works for up to three stages of heat and 2 stages of cool.

Yeah, anyone who hasn't been stockpiling before now may need to stock up on Depends

It has been a real eye-opener looking at what you thought you'd need before the ban and a whole other look since the hammer came down

Ok, I just completed paying for my Achilles II -- total came to 98.65, if anyone else is curious about how that 85 euros translates to dollars -- there's also a "conversion fee" in there, since the current conversion I find online says it should be $96.12.

As far as ordering vape stuff... if you order from someplace not in the US which accepts paypal for payment, then it will work -- paypal has continued working for buying vape stuff, if the vendor is not in the US. US vendors are at the mercy of their credit card processors, and thx to the FDfuckingA, some of those processors are going to decline it.

Wonder if a holding or clearinghouse type of vendor could be set up in say Canada, Mexico, just outside of the U.S. and acting to redirect payments to whichever vendor. * wanders along whistling innocently *

I wonder if those visa gift card things might work also. Was also wondering if a gift certificate type angle with one of your clearinghouse processor type things might be in our future
