    Its official, Pootin has attacked Ukraine.

    I’m torn. Part of me says why do we care about what is happening in Ukraine. The other part of me says we agreed to protect them for giving up their nukes after the fall of the iron curtain. It’s fucked up from all angles.

    Flip side of saving is earning. Don’t get stuck in a job where your earnings aren’t growing. Especially in this job market. Stretch a little bit. Take a job that you are qualified for but might be a little uncomfortable to start. After a few weeks or months, it won’t feel uncomfortable. I’m...

    In my position, how would you handle giving a two week notice?

    It’s not the company bridges that matter. People reading it might leave there and be where you apply for your next job. Some industries have really small circles.

    Investing/Stocks

    Look into Roth IRA early. Depending where you expect your income to be during retirement, it could be a huge advantage. Again, you need to run the numbers. If regular 401k/ira keeps you from jumping a tax bracket now then you have to compare the difference to having tax free income later. And...

    Investing/Stocks

    Look at the amortization table for your loan. A lot of people think they can beat that with investments. I’m not in that camp, but interest rates are low right now. Do the math. Also remember that if your taxes and insurance are escrowed in your payment, that’s probably half of your monthly...

    Investing/Stocks

    If you don’t have a 401k, start today. At least put in enough to get the full company match. Depending on the company program, you can’t out-earn that match on the market. Do research. If you invest in direct stocks it is a part time job. You need to monitor your stocks and the market...

    Potroast with a bit of Habanero for flavor....

    I sear after for steak, chicken breast, pork chops, etc. would make sense for the roast, too.

    Did you sear it or anything after taking it out of the bag? Fixed spelling.... sear, not wear.

    30 years ago golden coral was pretty good. I moved to where there weren’t any. Saw one while traveling for work and went in. I was shocked and disappointed. No where near the same.

    If you could tell your pet one thing…

    We tried Xanax and 2 others, I forget the names. First two had zero affect. The third one knocked him out and he was groggy the next day. That’s when we decided no more drugs for him. The pet eaze and doing what we could to distract and calm him. He was the first dog I had personally seen go...

    AeroPress coffee

    I don’t even own a drip coffee maker. The water at our last house was so hard that they clogged after a few weeks. I’ve been using a French press for close to 20 years but just got an AeroPress in December. The coarse grind that works in the French press doesn’t seem to work that well in the...

    Hide Aviation

    I’m not a pilot, but I think you’re missing the point a little bit with respect to the degree you get. I’m an electrical engineer. I can tell you the people I’ve worked with over the years that became engineers because they expected it to pay well. In general, getting through school was a...

    If you could tell your pet one thing…

    Yes! We knew when a storm was getting close by how wound up he was getting. Nothing helped, from thunder shirt to pet-eaze chews to meds from the vet. There were times I was worried that he’d have a heart attack. For a dog that could sleep through most anything else and was always laid back...

    If you could tell your pet one thing…

    Now - that I miss him dearly. When we first got him he was a rescue, about 5 years old, former breeder, overall a rough start. I wish I could have told him he was home now and he could relax and enjoy it. It was well over a year before he opened up and allowed himself to be part of the family.
