Hilarious but also true.

My 2008 Panasonic Viera 50" plasma is still going strong in the basement. Nice and dark down there. Never have fixed a thing on it. I want a 65" OLED. Saw a $1,500 price point for a 65" OLED during Christmas. Didn't jump on it. I assume plasma is gone. Too hard to make. New tech will...

Reviving an old thread for no good reason....

I still have my 2008 Panasonic plasma. It just started showing a blue line down the middle although it is translucent. Other than that no issues. Panasonic is making OLED televisions now but only sold overseas. I might be in the market soon.

I hear varying things on when to buy a TV. Now and right before the new models come out (after the Super Bowl). I’m leery of buying now because I don’t want a derivative television (the reason they’re so cheap). I’m looking for 75-85”. Not OLED. Too pricey for me. Any links or thoughts on timing of...

If anyone is looking for face masks, Costco is selling a package of 50 disposable masks for $19.99 in the store. The price is a few dollars more if you buy them from Costco.com. No, I am not looking for face masks. I do not use them and they are not required where I am at. Trying to get your post c...

I got mine here....https://www.snowjoe.com/products/supply ... nt-3-layer

$12.99 for 50. That includes shipping. They also the KN95 in a five pack. I have those for work. It's the Chinese variant.

If I wasn’t using Vanguard, Fidelity would be one of my next choices. Good luck.

No cash. Unless you count my kids piggy banks. There might be like $50 in there altogether. I could sell some of my toilet paper as well.

Physical Therapy. Outpatient clinic. We see mostly elective surgeries. Elective surgeries are about to be put on hold at all hospitals near me. Hasn't affected me yet but our census will drop soon unless something changes.

Had a bit of extra cash aside from automatic monthly withdrawals so bought $500 of VASGX. Did the same thing one day last week. I like buying stuff on sale.

There is sort of a perverse logic here, that you win by losing. I think of "The Producers", one of my favorite movies of all time. A play within a movie where two conmen get investors to oversubscribe investing in a play, in other words they sold interest in the play several times over. T...

Nursing doesn’t necessarily mean full time hospital either. You could be a nurse for an orthopedic surgeon who is at the hospital for surgery a few days a week and then back at the office for follow up and new patient visits. There are many different avenues in nursing.

I’ve been on Visible (owned by Verizon) for a month. Unlimited talk, text, and data (uncapped speed and unlimited) for $40 all in. The uncapped and unlimited data is a promotion so don’t know how long it will last. It’s all done through an app. Coverage is good and speeds are fast though that depend...

Jack made a huge difference in the way I viewed investing. I always thought it was for the professionals but Jack simplified it somehow and made it seem doable.

God bless you Jack and condolences to your loved ones.

5. Tried for my wife same message. I've never had that with AMEX before. They started with this new feature about a month ago; see my earlier post a few days ago with a link to FT. Not a big surprise, IMO. Only surprise is that it took them so long to put a brake on churning. Just saw that post abo...

I've never had that with AMEX before. Maybe that has to do with AMEX's earnings woes, which the company has been blaming on rising rewards costs for their cards. Here's the latest installment of that saga, from just two days ago: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-american-express-results/amex-rewa...

Just saw this. Makes jumping back into the credit card game much easier.

Removals were free in PA. Temporary lifts were $10 although only Experian charged for that.

On a related note, it seems that Equifax and Transunion I can unlock for free, but Experian has a fee (at least here in CT). Is that your experience as well?
