My current plan is 68 and 4 months. (ETA: My calculation is based on my working at least until that date, delta calculations between reductions/credits and spousal benefits, etc. You baws out there doing a straight line "turn a profit" make sure you don't ignore the spousal benefit calculations,...

Maybe they've cleaned it up a bit. My dad wanted to "try" Holly Beach after a few Biloxi/Gulfport and Florida beaches in the late 1970s. I still feel a little oily. [img]https://townsquare.media/site/33/files/2020/05/Holly-Beach-bevoburn-via-YouTube.jpg?w=1200[/img] This is supposedly fr...

[quote]Let’s not sugar coat it. This is a bad class in comparison. 6th best in SEC and if you throw in Tx and Ok they are 8th. That is not going to cut it!![/quote] I don't think any of this is unreasonable criticism. There are only 2 caveats: The portal could be a buyer's market for Kelly and...

If they let me reasonably configure a barebones, 4x4, 4 cylinder diesel, small Hilux-based truck for under $20k, absofrickinglutely I would drive it. I need 2 seats, a/c and a radio for my daily commute and occasional pickup needs....

I don't think this offensive recipe needs much tweaking. The only questions would have been short yardage, but that will always be an issue with a high speed, finesse offense. Obviously, just adding a SEC quality rush end, Mike linebacker and a lockdown corner would have made this team, likely, ...

[quote]He didn’t buy it to make a profit. He bought to tear it down. Then build it back up. [/quote] Musk's plan is to make X/Twitter an "everything" app. It may not work, but as I've said again and again, bet against Elon at your own peril. The cat is 15 steps ahead of most people....
