We're looking now.. and I'm hoping I get lucky and get something around 4% with dealer financing.. but I'm obviously going to show up with my 6.75% pre-approval just in case. If someone offers me 0% or .9% we can just end the negotiations and sign. 😂

Can I get a red for each wrist?

I wouldn't get a car loan for 13% interest unless I had zero other options. I'm struggling to accept 7% is the current rate..

Martins and Grandma Utz kettle cooked are about equals to me. Martins BBQ is my favorite chip, period.

Five miles, north. Carlisle and York are also fine and pretty much everywhere in that triangle.. with some exceptions. Lancaster would be fine too.

Starship, because we get to see if it's gonna work or fail. It's important to know either way. Super excited if that damn thing lives up to the hype.

My prior CFO never stopped working in the office because of wife plus 3 kids at home. He was vocal that he wanted people back because it was too quiet.

Even when I left in Nov our conference rooms had a max occupancy of 3, so we still had to have all of our meetings on Teams.

I've used SequoiaView for years.

My employer wants to bring people back to the office. You know who is most happy about it, the mayor of the struggling city. They just want our money for parking, lunch, ect. THAT is why we're headed back to the office.

Welcome to the White Shore.

One. Only because my wife wanted to go.

You know it isn't the US because you didn't buy 3 lbs of carrots and 10 lbs of potatoes. I literally don't know if my grocery store sells single carrots.

Home Depot and Lowes have something similar as well, usually cheaper than pool noodles. Plus their black so they can blend in better than brightly colored pool noodles.

How good is the pension? I literally can't find a job worth going to because the pension is worth so much.

You'll want more money than you expect when you move in. Repairs, paint, furniture. However much you think is enough, double it. Also, things are going to break. Budget for that too. Roofs, siding, central air, hot water heaters.. things are expensive.

That's okay. You're entitled to that opinion. Cheers.

Also, when he told me what I did I went back to photos of the night.. and he was wearing a baseball hat. I had no idea why someone could be insulted about a baseball hat. It wasn't until later I remembered he had a lumberjack hat earlier in the night (no photos of that one).

Yeah, I'm super glad this isn't a close friend of mine. But now it's just awkward because my good friend needs to decide any time they have a party or go on a vacation if they should invite both of us or not. I'm still generally cordial to the guy who hates me although he either completely ignores me or is outright ignorant. So unlikely doubt we'll be in the same place at the same time anytime soon.

When he showed up on vacation and explained what happened (I sincerely didn't remember it, which to me speaks volumes about how unintentional it was), I apologized sincerely.. multiple times. It was pretty clear he was uninterested in any type of apology, assumed I was an asshole, and just wanted to ensure that everyone on vacation with me knew that he didn't like me or want me to be around. He literally told me about 20x it was his deceased father's hat like it was something I SHOULD have known.

Yes, I'm in my 40s. No, I didn't get blackout drunk I just don't remember this ridiculous conversation. When I drink I talk a lot, not blackout.

Oh, I should mention he didn't tell me he had an issue with me. He whined to my wife behind my back that be didn't like me before she forced him to be a grown man and tell me.

I apologized, he didn't accept.

Sure, I guess. But this is an almost 50 year old man acting like I actually lobbed insults at his father. 😂

I was on vacation recently with friends, and friends of friends. I start talking to one of the friends of friends (who I met once) when they arrive, only to find out that he f'ing hates me and thought about not coming on the vacation because I'd be there. When we were at a party last fall (lumberjack themed) I apparently "made fun" of his deceased father's hat. To be clear, I was drinking.. have no recollection of this.. and probably just said something funny about a lumberjack hat.

He still hates me and almost broke one of my fingers on that vacation.
