re: What is your golden rule for retirement?
Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 12/12/25 at 8:04 am to sharkfhin
In my 50s. Obamacare came out and my insurance premiums on employer paid insurance skyrocketed 33% and I had to stop my 401k elections for multiple years to maintain the standard of living. I'm not retiring. I start drawing a pension from a company I left back in 2013 at 55, I'll likely take that check and roll it over into an IRA post tax since I can't get the company to put it in before they pay me.
Since I'm never going to retire...is there a better option than an IRA? Also since I started my 401k, I'm getting about 17% rate of return...what's a good number to shoot for there?

So can schools in La "recruit" now? I thought a school like Acadiana was a public school and serviced by the parish. Maybe I'm mixing apples/oranges

Can someone explain to me the difference between Select vs Non-Select? For instance I'm from Sulphur originally and they are non-select but they play Acadiana in the same district, but Acadiana is a Select school. What's that mean? They are in the same district but they would never be (if SHS would ever get in the playoffs...yeah right) in the same playoff bracket.
I know this change came about a few years ago, but I never really looked at it, and just recently tried to understand it.

I'm glad I have a direct line to God, and don't have to go through a saint,
As a Roman Catholic I don't have to go through Saints, Mary or any other sanctified person.
I guess you didn't need any person to baptize you either...you just dunked your head and became saved.
Just a note: Catholics don't NEED anyone to go to God....it's just like a person knowing a person is about to go into surgery and them saying "I'll pray for you". All Catholics do is ask Saints to pray for our intentions to help us. We still ask God directly.

I thought I had heard that he was going to run...but now he's running on a conservative platform.
Gonna be an interesting election, to say the least.

Oddsmakers are putting the shutdown at 6 weeks before it ends. They are predicting 15Nov to end.

re: Had to put my Lab to sleep (Cool Story Update for those who commented)
Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 10/10/25 at 10:39 am to SwampBandit
I had a 16 yr old chocolate lab named Annabelle. She wasn't a dog. She was a human wrapped in chocolate fur. She wanted to please us with everything she did. Never wanted to crate train because of her anxiety. So we left her out. Her separation anxiety got the best out of her. Never figured out what those Coke boxes did to her...but man she would sure shred the hell of them. And I let her. It was nothing to clean up..and as long as she didn't tear up anything costly, it was fine. She grew out of that and turned out to be one of the best dogs I ever owned. When we put her down I was a basketcase. I hated seeing that little girl go across the rainbow bridge, but I knew it was time. When the time comes you'll know it. Because the question you'll ask yourself is "Am I keeping the dog alive for me or is the dog living?" If you answer the first part, well, it's time.
First dog I ever put down was a black lab mix and she got ornery and mean those last days. But Annabelle wanted to stay, but she was hurting too bad and her quality of life wasn't there. Our last dog was Da Boots...and she knew it was time, that one was easiest.
My condolences on your loss of a friend. It never is EASY to let a companion go.

re: NASA "Quiet Fridays"?
Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 10/4/25 at 8:21 am to AlwysATgr
NASA has had those since I worked there. Started at JSC in 1997. Finished my tour with NASA in 2021 thanks to Joe and Art. Now I'm working better things supporting the DoD. DoD has quiet Fridays as well since lots of folks have an Alternate Work Schedule (AWS) taking off every other Friday.
