Taking a trip across the pond this spring and would like to check out a soccer game while I'm there. I don't really follow the premier league or soccer in general, but something like this has always been a bucket list event for me, especially if it coincides with a trip I was planning on taking anyway. Currently eyeing the Man U vs Chelsea game on May 18th.

Anyone done this recently and have any advice on making this a memorable experience? Is there a specific ticketing website or group i should go through for tickets? Or are stubhub/most of the American ticket vendors the way to go? Wasn't sure if there was a different system in Europe.

TIA

Shouldn’t my accountant tell me what that estimated number is though?

All great information, thanks everyone. Hope to bump one day with a good story to tell

This is a set it and forget about it type deal.

All aboard the Bitcoin train

Recent negative returns aside, looking to put 5-10% of my taxable investment portfolio into precious metals (and crypto, set myself up in the Voyager app last week). Regarding metals, what are the different ways to purchase forms of gold, etc?

Do you have to find a local broker to buy physically buy it? Does Vanguard or other online brokerages offer ETF’s?

Does owning shares of an ETF defeat the purpose of owning metals as an asset if you aren’t physically holding them? At first I would think so, but if the alternative is calling up one of the guys that advertise on the Fox Business commercials, I’d rather do the former. Seems like snake oil.

May end up just pushing the rest of potential gold allocation into Bitcoin, but still curious what options are.

Any insight appreciated. TIA

Heading straight to the airport after lunch today.

Skimmed through the planning thread but didn't see a lot of Vegas talk. I know a lot of people have said they will either be in Las Vegas for the long weekend or traveling through there on their way to Pasadena.

What are your plans while there? Where will you watch the game? I will taking out a second mortgage on my house at the Circa sportsbook to start the day but want to find somewhere unique for Kickoff, almost too many places to choose from

Also anyone that's already down there, what are the covid restrictions like? Wide open? masks/negative test requirements, etc?

Tryin to take my cigar boat out one more time before the weather gets too cold

I had an EMG test done a while ago and they ruled out carpel tunnel. Would this also rule out any neck problems or does separate testing have to be done?

i put the tips of thumbs on the edge of the rough part of the center then extend and position my hands from there.

I could very well have form problems but I’ll address that later and just want to remedy the pain because time and rest by itself aren’t doing it

About 9 months ago I started doing some basic progression weightlifting to put on some weight, and about 2 months in I started having wrist pain which progressively got worse until I stopped the workout routine. Even after stopping, everyday activities such as washing dishes and carrying things like groceries became burdensome. Went to the doctor, x-rays and mri were negative for any structural damage, was told to give it some rest adjust my lifestyle for a little while.

Fast forward several months to now, I’m still having problems, went back to the doctor and their proposed next step is a wrist scope (didn’t know this was a thing).

Has anyone ever had similar problems to this? The problem definitely stemmed from the weightlifting a while ago. I was mixing in a lot of pushups, and there was never an incident or moment of injury but seems like just from repeated use. Im in my 20s and sort of lanky so I’m not really built for weightlifting, but no way this is normal.

Any guesses on what’s goin on here? I’d like to get back to weightlifting but at this time it’s really affecting my day to day life.
