No summer vacation, we usually don’t take one because it’s too hot and crowded
Destinations exist that aren't hot or crowded, FYI

OT ballers should already be paying more than that in taxes every year, so why aren't we making progress?

It's awful
Happens all the time on 90 turning onto 310 in Hahnville
I get it, sometimes you don't know that L turn lane will go all the way to the high school. But if you're not in the lane, you missed it, deal with it, go past and turn around - don't block two lanes and screw up traffic flow because you were wrong

re: In the Ruins New Mastodon Son. Marrow Deep new album out 8/26.

I've liked the songs released so far, much more than the Hushed and Grim album.
It's hard for these bands to put out new content after so long without sounding like AI versions of themselves.
The mini-documentary they released dealing with Brent's exit and passing was a tough watch at times but helpful into seeing what went on.

This is the first time in a while I don't really see City pushing the title race too hard
Seems like a transitional year for us and Arsenal's to lose, just hoping City can comfortably finish top 4

Agree mostly, except that many restaurants are closed Mondays
If I take a weekday off I'd like a nice lunch and options are limited

Get rid of the "blindside block"
The idea was great in theory in CFB but the enforcement is terrible. It was designed to stop QBs and other defenseless players from being lit up. But now they are penalizing legal blocks on players that are actually involved in the play.

re: What's the OTs thoughts/experiences with putting life on hold for elder care?

I think in modern times where a higher percentage of couples both work full time the noble thing is actually for the parents to make sure they have themselves taken care of, and it is laid out in writing for their kids. I'm lucky that my wife is able to stay home with the kids and when our parents get older we are open to hosting them if they just need help with basic things... if care requirements become intense that's a different story.
Take charge of what you want in your senior years and try to minimize the strain on your kids. I will have already made most potential tough decisions for them years ago.
Parental responsibilities don't stop when the kids get older - it's our job to make sure elder care is already thought out, saved for, etc.
IMO that's way more important than saving for their college. They can take out loans for college, not for a dementia care unit for mom/dad.
That way to minimize stress on children that are likely in an already stressful portion of their life with their own young(ish) families.

My wife is pressuring me to hire a financial manager. I am wondering what everyone's opinion about financial managers? I have heard stories of managers taking everything from their clients which makes me leery.
I never understand why people think once they reach a certain amount of money they've managed on their own for years, they "need" an advisor.
If your situation is simple you can continue to manage on your own, or educate yourself on any shortcomings.
If you need help for a decumulation phase, then sure.
If you do get an advisor, pick a fee only fiduciary. Do not under any circumstances get an assets-under-management advisor as they just steal your money. 1% per year adds up.

We'd still play them in "away" friendlies in LA and Phoenix
If they pull this off, they will get humbled quickly
