On the bright side, investments in euthanasia suicide pods is a growth prospect.

Got a ticker symbol?

I bought SCI when I realized a lot of people are dying from the vaxx. I'm up 32% so far.

They always emphasize the MONEY not the TIME it takes to retire.

Because as you get older, the most precious commodities are time and health. You can't always game those with just money.

Also, all of those nursing home politicians (or their dead name avatars) are definitely on Satan's treadmill, because after 60 or so most people would like to kick back, travel and enjoy their grandkids, not spend 90 minutes in the makeup wagon every morning to dance in the clown show.

Community pools and sports courts are among those things worth paying dues for instead of maintaining them yourself (and being responsible for them).

Agree if in a community. Pool at the new house will be 100% automated though for me at least. Heated 24/7/365. Not hot, but so it doesn't freeze in winter. Auto cover. Salt water chlorine generator. Floor cleaners and floor drain. Everything on timers and automated. Hoping to only open and close the cover and check the chlorinator every 3 months.

I've spent at least 100 hours researching everything. All the gear will be in a heated garage pop out room. So I never have to winterize. Hot tub can be bumped when we want to even in winter. Likely by phone. This will cost $100-150k, but whatever. Knowing I'm getting older I'd rather do laps in the pool for exercise with less wear and tear on the joints, and knees specifically. Kids will still use it.

I like grilling and cooking, but not a huge fan of entertaining. A pool is nice though. We're the only ones on both sides of the family that will be able to pull it off for things like Thanksgiving and Xmas. Wife has 4 sisters and I think 10 nephews and nieces. Get togethers are about 20 people. That doesn't work at anyones house in the family.

I just want the hot tub more than anything. I want a sauna as well. Might custom build one.

Rabbits are quite edible. Just sayin.

They can also carry Bubonic plague in California!

I think that is why the coyotes and owls leave the rabbits alone (at least on my street) and eat our pets instead.

We lost 2 of our indoor/outdoor cats when we moved here. Now cat #3 is strictly indoors.

I wouldn't touch a rabbit. My game meat only goes to deer (venison), bison and elk.

Even if they were good and didn't have the plague, you'd have to kill 3-4 to get a meal. Unless you have master knife work, you're looking at probably an hour plus to skin them to the meat. With the other animals I mention it takes longer, but you can fill an entire freezer that will last 3-12 months. So I'm out on rabbits.

Just watched a live Edgar Winter Frankenstein cover I did. I need to get those chops back. Played the percussion and drum part in the solo. One of the hardest covers I did

One of my old bands used to cover Frankenstein. I was the keyboard player. I had the synth parts nailed, and it would blow people's minds when the "mothership landing" part kicked in. The drummer in the band was a monster - veteran of Broadway, Reno, you name it and he'd played it. Good times.

That thing probably has rabies too!

I got my backyard under control since I have a fence and can plink them with my Daisy pellet gun. But I can't safely shoot in the front yard without freaking out neighbors. The rabbit shit-balls and urine really burn up my grass and they come back to the same patch over and over again making it impossible for the grass to grow back.

Looks pretty healthy to me.

Cooking should kill off plague, which is very rare anyway. Worst case, antibiotics are very effective at curing all forms of plague.
