mmmmm...beer

Thr blood pressures going goofy... after being stable for a decade.

Yeah....can't prove it, but was forced to take the jab or lose my job in the fed with 3 years to retire. Anyway... my blood pressure started running away last year. After being in very minimal medication for 10 years for it. Finally got it somewhat calmed down with a pile of different meds, but still flares up. All happened a few months after the jabs....

Sorry dude... wife and I were juat talking about this. Lotta our peer group or younger dropping. I'm 48... same age group. The cancers.... heart attacks, and offing themselves.

Bathtub with bubbles... same same.

Bathtubs 3-0... rip Whitney, Cranberries girl, and now ChAnduler Bing...

Honestly... the S&P500 index fund. It has averaged 12% /yr since inception somewhere around 1957. Vanguard founder (dead) John Bogle said everyone tries to beat the market ie SP500 and it really long term can't be done. Mess around with some financial calculators, my favorite is the compounding interest one at investor.gov here: https://www.investor.gov/financial-tools-calculators/calculators/compound-interest-calculator Put in whatever you have right now say $5000... plus whatever you'll put in a month say $1000. Then say 20 years for a time frame @ 10% +/-3%. Straight math.. but yeah.

Dual wield rogue... yeah I remember digging the first one. I recall playing this one a little but but I know I didn't finish it. I'm digging it so far.

Haha.. I forgot we were PSN buddies. I was feeling RPG'ish and started playing last night.

Welp... she got the job! In the paperwork they're saying there's a possibility of a year probation. She's a little hung up on that as she's been a fed for 15 years. She doesn't want to be at the whims of a new supervisor like that. So she's going to chat the HR lady up tomorrow prior to accepting the tentative offer. Reading the email I think it's more a generic letter, so it won't even apply to her. Looks like we're heading on an adventure soon! Weeeeeee!

Promotion at work.. also fostered a 2 year old little girl which we adopted. Started over with child rearing essentially.

Ah... I knew you'd come shadow. Wait... I actually forgot about you, but here you are. How's life? You seem as chipper as ever Ehore.

Been playing in my geek league non stop. Juat got pretty meh with the Trump/Biden BAD rinse and repeat cycle that seems to inundate the bored. Thanks for the welcome back!

Dig her... she can say a lot of truths many conservatives can't without coming off rasis. Has some good thoughts, though every once in awhile she shows she may not be as intelligent as you first think. Also... would schmash in fairytale land.

Army... DoD civilian.

Yeah, I thought about that right away. Guess we'll see if she gets the offer. Hopefully in the next week or so we'll know. Looking on line they say learning to speak Japanese is actually very doable. Learning to read/write it, yoooge painful endeavor. Luckily in this day and age you have apps will read it from your camera or speak translations. So at least I'll be able to order food or find the pisser.

Pretty sure that counts.
