25% vgt, 25% qqq, 25% voo, 25% vti. Never have to look at it again.
What is with the people in this thread and their strange hate of this woman? I can guarantee if my husband was killed by the freak show that has become the democrat party, I would make it my full time job to do anything I could to take them down. Does having kids mean this woman has to shut up and stay in the kitchen for the rest of her life? Maybe, just maybe, she wants to continue his legacy for her own children?? And in his honor?? I don’t know if you men realize it but there are a gazillion women out there with full time jobs, and it doesn’t appear that Erica Kirk is doing anything close to full-time work with her appearances.

Why does she have to “go away”? If, say, Tulsi Gabbard was assassinated and her husband decided to start making appearances and interviews in order to carry her beliefs forward, would you say he should shut up and stay home with the kids? I don’t think so.
Reduce your comprehensive deductible to 250. I did this after multiple new windshields at $1000 each and it barely raised my premium.
There is a MyTSA app. On it, you can filter to your airport and look up “historical” wait times based on data for the previous week or two. Pretty much, other than Sundays, it’s a very low wait time all other days and times except for 30 minutes or so between 3:30 and 6 am. Sunday mornings appear to still suck with over hour waits [the app graph maxes out at 60 minutes but states “standard wait times are typically greater than 60 mins around 5 am”]. The app does not distinguish between regular lines and TSA precheck. Of course I fly out this Sunday mornings appear to at 6:50 am, but I do have the new touchless/Face ID TSA Precheck so hopefully that line will be short.

Sedona — stay at Enchantment Resort, hike, eat good food.
Beloved all inclusive for beach.
Last minute Celebrity Edge/Apex/Ascent/Xcel/Beyond for cruise.
A few more final months of training and my son will be deployed to an aircraft carrier as a jet pilot, and I can’t imagine how hard it will be for him and his wife for him to be away for almost a full year. I have so much respect for these navy men and women who sign up for this and leave their families for so long.
They hate YOU … any successful, hard-working, law-abiding, Christian, patriotic, white male, and because they hate you, they support everything you are opposed to. They’ve been taught that you are the source of all their problems and unhappiness, and it is a lot easier to blame someone else than to take responsibility for yourself. So if you don’t like communism, crazy mullahs with nuclear bombs, killing babies, drug lords, criminals, open borders, and abuse of entitlement programs, they will twist themselves into pretzels to justify why they do.

This is exactly what someone looks like after a bad facelift, too much filler, and an upper blepharoplasty that hollowed out the eyes. Bradley Cooper just did something similar and now looks very different as well. Mandy Moore ruined her eyes as well in a similar way.
I'm not sure if this should be on F & B board or here, but I figured I'd try here first.

We are going on a Greek island cruise in september and are staying two nights pre-cruise at the Athens Gate Hotel. I'd like to make dinner reservations ahead of time and have come up with this list of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. I'm not looking for Michelin star, frou frou food but do like great service, food and ambiance.

Has anyone here been to any of these, and would you recommend them? We would like at least one of our meals to be rooftop with an Acropolis view, and that would likely be the Athens Gate Rooftop restaurant in our own hotel, so mainly looking for the second night.

Sense Rooftop
Point A
Arcadia
Botany Roof Garden
Liondi
Elaea
God's Restaurant
Yard Restaurant
Taverna PANOS

thanks TD!
Coming back to report we got a very fair price from V & V and are happy with the completed project.
The costco cauliflower crust pizza is our current fave. The costco pepperoni four pack used to be great, but it just doesn’t taste as good as it used to.
Cable Mountain Lodge. You can walk right into park next door.

re: Salt water pool maintenance

I use the Taylor test kit and the TFP app — specifically the chlorine and CSI parts of that app. If I need chlorine I just run the salt cell at 100% for however many hours the app recommends [this will show up when you enter your current chlorine and CYA in the chlorine section]. The CSI part of the app tells me if the water is in balance and if I need to add calcium, acid or CYA. The CYA just goes in a filter sock in the skimmer basket. Ive never added liquid chlorine or pucks and can’t imagine why you would do that.
My rule of thumb is to never live in a neighborhood that is within walking or bike-riding distance from the ghetto. And the Garden District is one of those places.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I’ll come back with a report once we finish the job.
We’ve got quotes from Premier and Garcia — any other recommendation for replacing a metal roof on an old warehouse?

At this age put it all in either a total stock market index or a s and p 500 index. Look at your options and google them and find the one that does this. If you can’t figure it out run your options through ChatGPT and ask it which ones are either of the above.

Rear facing aft balcony rooms are generally highly regarded vs either port or starboard. The only thing is part of your balcony might be visible to higher decks because of the slope of the back of the boat. You can study pics of your boat to get an idea.
