re: Lake Garda and/or Lake Como

Prefer Garda. Como is exceptional with probably a better option for high-end hotels but I felt like I was visiting an Italian Tahoe at times with all of the old Americans around.

There are Germans and traffic at Garda can be bad as the comment above states, especially in heavy summer months, but driving along the Western shore is a blast. The scenery at the Northern end of the lake is more dramatic.

Recall from a post years ago. It’s a problem. I can remember Lonnie Utah’s favorite movie but not my secretary’s birthday or where my keys are.

Go watch Strangelove
You know it is a bad day when the only green on your board are the 2 stocks that you'd forgotten about because they have seemingly been stuck on red for weeks: SCHD and MTDR
My Aunt lived in several hotels in NYC over a 15 year + period of her life. She mostly drank Scotch, bitched about the doormen, and counted her money, though.
Mine passed in 2023. Weighs a ton. I couldn't part with it so I use it for storage for things like light bulbs.
As someone who has only dealt with this stock straight up, I understand if I’m not invited to the party if this lands on 300. But since I bought a healthy portion back when it was 30 and then 50 and then 80 can I at least buy a round for the degenerate gamblers that do attend?
I get the fattest guy in the foursome to walk right up to it and get a close look.

Maybe it is time we switch to Spanish as a nation.

re: SCHD or SPYD for dividend ETF?

I’ve been debating about bailing on SCHD for a long time. The one thing that’s kept me from doing so is that it doesn’t rely on Technology companies which I am heavy on throughout my portfolio
Disagree. I love killing them for sport. And eating them too
To answer this you need to ask yourself if you hate to lose more than you love to win and the other way around. There isn't a wrong answer. Then, you will know which of the following best suits you:
A: Charge her more/tell her of an imminent price increase/offer more services as politely as you can. Your time is all that you have. She should be taxed if she is unfairly using your time. (LTW)
B: Delegate this to someone else that you think she might work better with and share the commission (HTL)
C: Swallow your pride and carry on. (HTL)

I did. Which is consistent with me. I have a habit of holding stocks long term. Is it about to take off like NVX--which I added because of this thread?
What are the odds it and FGPHF go pop?

re: Dallas Love Field PSA

Still prefer Love Field, especially if I am going to Dallas proper. Also has some of the best eating options (granted, it is airport food) per sq foot compared to any airport I have been to.
I've never been to a Golden Corral but I hope that they have AED kits somewhere adjacent to the gravy vat and the pallet of dinner rolls
