Congrats! That has to be a great feeling. We're 16 years away and I've already started looking at it as "number of employers left". I should only have to work for 4-5 more companies.

Does that mean you're less than 10 years away?

I'm sure the lack of preservatives makes it worth it. For me, I like high amounts of sugar in my bread (hello Subway) and I don't have time to make my own.

We only visited once and it was awesome. I have my doubts that the South location can recreate the vibe since it's a new build.

I had to look up three of those items. Looks like I need to up my game. Congrats on getting them to like ghost pepper sauce. That'll come in handy in high school and college.

This story makes you feel sad, angry, and hopeful all at the same time. His freedom isn't enough; Texas needs to make the $2 million in compensation happen.

I'm grieving for you. May the twins sleep through the night by March.

We're talking about moving in ~4 years so we'll start saving up for a down payment on top of maxing out our IRAs. Right now, the plan is to convert our current house into a rental when it's time.

Cont...

I just read the list to my wife and I have been instructed to buy some cinnamon roll cupcakes for Christmas. Haha

Are you wanting a certain type? HEB has one of the best carrot cakes in town. Their pies are just ok. Whole foods has some solid cakes and tiramisu. Sam's has great pies and side items - their cinnamon roll cupcakes are next level.

Those quick releases look great. Simple solutions are sometimes the hardest thing to come up with.

Haha. The author must live in a small apartment. My house winter bill is $40 and my summer bill is $160.

For the upper arm, will it eventually use all four springs or do you alternate the pair based on the direction you want it to lean?

If we can have 5 months of this, I'd forgive the crazy summer we all just survived.

Check to see events during that time. The second weekend of ACL will happen while you're here so maybe you can snag some last second tickets.

I'm in a similar phase right now. We plan on moving in 3-4 years and I'm leaning towards turning our current home into a rental. We bought it at $300k and it's now worth $650k. We are now putting money into a regular brokerage to save for the next down payment. I don't think we'll have enough saved in time so we're leaning towards lowering our tax advantage contributions until then.

That's really cool. Where is this one located?

The ones that drove a long way, are those RV type people? I picture people in their 50s in their Winnebago hitting every state.

85. My biggest issue is my wife doesn't find it fun so most of those are from before marriage or when she's out of town. I look forward to introducing the kid to it later on to possibly have a buddy.

The timeline for starting new construction is 2025. The bridge must be in really bad shape for them to limit traffic 1.5 years out.
