General Discussion / Re: After hundreds of melons over the decades, this is the first return for me

Over the years I get about maybe 20% just average and 80 preferable using same method as yours but the last two years with an additional new method to the mix, it has been consistently better. Maybe 97% preferable. The smaller the stem end, the better and that goes for most melons.

I wonder if I was here or was it fake? You can Google this.

Maintaining a Mercedes is what that daughter needs to do, hopefully, in order to awaken.

That’s pretty good now if only I can do that to my vehicles.

LMAO

hopefully you have more than $10,000 - $50,000 of asset in the bank

with that little income

you won't even pay any taxes at all.. if so.. really little

 

Let's just say I couldn't spend all this money in this lifetime even if I wanted to, so my kids will get a head start in theirs because I played the white man’s game accordingly.

When I retire, I’ll move to a state with no income tax, establish residency there, then spend a few years traveling the U.S. and Canada. After that, the rest of the world. That’s my Hmong retirement plan at 55. Of course, no one in my circle knows this but I’ll share it with you strangers online.

The love of your life isn’t guaranteed by a calendar but it’s found by people willing to do the inner work at any age. So no such thing as a 45 deadline.

Cars have come a long way since I started driving. Rode a few Waymo and was simply amazed.

Tyson and Shaq are legends in their respective fields; it's hard not to know who they are. Still, those salesmen played them both like fiddles. Two Bentleys? Three Bentleys because their ego was bruised?

If you can’t show your cost basis and your actual gains, then it’s a meaningless narrative.

She has every right to be angry when it involves her young kids. You can't protest unless you want to be thrown out. The rules for airlines are different now. I remembered the good old days when people can actually meet you at your gate.

How is the ev holding up? What kind of maintenance have you done to it besides the tires rotation and how’s the battery life?
