Re: dating/marriage/et. al.

Wife and I have known each other since the 6th grade. We have been married for 52 years, fast approaching 53.

I am an outlier on this topic. Sounds awful. You [itch bay]es are on your own.

 

NYY, Norris and I have you covered.

 

What the [uck fay] have you done?

 

Date again? Ha! I'm for women's rights. The right for them to pursue this sexiness, but I ain't putting any effort into it if something were to happen to my wife.

 

You murdered your aunt & uncle?

 

A good friend bought 3 condos in the gulch in 2009....he sold them in 2019 and bought 50 acres and a house cash

 

rub it in

 

I missed the boat too, he didn't

 

You gotta have a lot of cash sitting around to even think about getting on that boat.

 

Not really, he pretty much just took over payments before they lost them to the bank

 

Or excess cash flow. Most people don't have either of them. Not begrudging his opportunities, but 95% of the people don't have the ability to get on that kind of opportunity.

 

He's single and in the music industry

 

Having good friends with boats is ALWAYS the best way to "have" a boat in your life.

 

Yep

 

True most people can’t take advantage of the opportunity. Like anything else. But many can, yet aren’t risk takers. Some I know who have made a lot borrowed a lot along the way, gone in debt and been stretched beyond what I would be comfortable with. They also reaped the rewards of taking the risk. Sometimes they didn’t. Too volatile to me unless losses don’t matter much.

 

I’m very much not a risk taker when it comes to that kind of thing

 

Just a reminder for all you Gambinos in here

Wife has a med that recently allowed for generic production. Was a $35-50 copay. Generic is cheaper, but the companies cannot produce enough generic to supply the world and insurance says "oh, regular brand is now $100 copay, [uck fay] you".

So she is now without.

 

"Greatest healthcare in the world."

Can she get samples from her doctor? Have you looked at online pharmacies?

 

Sometimes even the manufacturer will offer a steep discount
