Participanti think it may be a new young person thing. internet type name, v. something inspired by big concrete pillars and stone carvings, like J.P. Morgan etc.
Participantreally, insurance should pay for the class. preventative medicine.
guy i worked with a long time ago was retired one lousy week when he fell getting out of bed, died a few weeks later. At the time I thought the lesson was, don’t retire, but now I’m thinking the lesson was, practice falling. bonked his head really hard.

One of my best friends has been in Burlington VT for about 20 years. His oldest graduates HS this year and he cant wait to get the hell out of there and the cold. He’ll be in FLA as soon as possible
Personally, I’ve been loving the “winter wonderland” that we have had on the East Coast this winter … nothing more beautiful than NY when it’s brisk, snowy, and cold.[/quote]
Speaking of ice and retirement generally, heres something ive been practicing thats super useful…and really every single person needs to practice…
Falling down.
You can start from a squat and fall towatd your face, back and sides, work your way up to full falls from standing.
Aarp, others have good videos on technique
Probably best physical training exercise anyone 60 and up can work on! Youre gonna fall! Be ready!
Im hoping to work up to the just fall forward from standing and land on concrete on hands/forearms move! Looks awesome on videos! Not there yet.
Imagine how impressed the grandkids would be. You could fall together. Kids could teach us a thing or two. Theyre pros at it.
Dont end up like dr. Atkins. Remember him? Slipped on ice, nyc. If hed trained to tuck his head in, he might still be with us, eating steaks.
Id open a falling down gym, but by the time people want the skill its usually too late! Start now. Actually, now thats my new goal. Im gonna work really hard at being awesome at falling.
Participant[quote=EconProf][quote=scaredyclassic]I approve. I miss my grandpa. He was a really good guy. He moved to be two blocks from me.
Also that setup at brio looks damn nice. And i like this a lot…https://intermountainhealthcare.org/locations/st-george-regional-hospital/hospital-information/
Financed or cash? What was your reasoning?[/quote]
Loan. At these rates, a no-brainer. Besides, I loan out at 10% + on fix & flips, second TD’s, etc. Will do that in the St. George/Washington City area too. (these two cities are joined at the hip. Technically, we’ll be in Washington City).[/quote]
I figured. Just checking. I thpught maybe just being out of the game, no debt, no plotting for gains might be an option. Perhaps for other more fearful souls…but not econprof!
Id take the financing too.
Participant[quote=Hobie][quote=scaredyclassic]Econprof, u can make a profound impression on those kids.[/quote]
What a respectful, classy thing to say. Nicely done scaredy!

My folks were so nervous. My grampa was like an ocean of calm. He didnt seem in a hurry for anything. He was just like 100% there. He didnt take us on any trips. He didnt have a car even. We just went to the park. We flew kites, he fed pigeons [ he had kept pigeons on the roof and was astonishingly good with wild pigeons. Maybe they smelled pigeon on him?) . Played a lot of chess. Talked to us. Went for walks. Always fascinated with our bullshit. Dont recall any gifts other than the cookies. Probably a little cash on birthdays.
It doesnt take much. A little bit can be a lot. If i were lucky, i can be less like me and more like him moving forward. He strikes me now as being in a near perpetual state of mild amusement and astonishment that we were there. That box of cookies seemed so big. I see on the internet it was only about 2 ounces! Funny. I recall getting cokes in candy stores that were only like 6 or 8 ozs.
Slimmer world.
My other grandpa died “young”. Like early 60s. Lets definitely avoid that!
We do this ancestor praise meditation over at the buddhist monastery with head to ground where you give thnx to all your ancestors, who in their confusion and pain and struggle brought the conditions for your existence. I thought that was kind of corny at first, but after a while i didnt.
ParticipantWow. The setting is nice enough for a natural course. The green detracts imo.
I guess id have to make my own thai food when i move across from econprof.
Theres a seller at the little italy farmers mkt who sells a great tom yum paste.
Ditch your weed at the border. Looks like 16 oz. Gets 5 years prison. Less is a up to a year in county lockup.
Personally im sick of intoxication. I think cheap legal weed may be harmful to young people. Too much, too easy to get, too cheap. Not as harmful as 5 y. Prison tho.
ive had my fill of intoxication and its time to be an old person just glad to wake up every morning. Been over a year without a drink, ever since that retreat at deerpark monastery in escondido. Might be better than rehab.
St george really is close enough to come back to escondido once in a while. And yelp has some nice eateries listed. Thai, indian peruvian others.
My grandpa used to give me little boxes of cookies. They dont sell them anymore. Every time i went there my brother and i got a box.. Good to have a thing like that.

These. He really got a lot of pleasure from watching us eat these.
My mom recently gave me the old chess set we used to play with. So worn. Even has the old spool substitution for the long lost rook i can remember 50 years later. Econprof, u can make a profound impression on those kids.
ParticipantI approve. I miss my grandpa. He was a really good guy. He moved to be two blocks from me.

ParticipantIts stressful to uproot and leave a place. Im getting scared just thinking about it.
So many new senior assisted living places in temecula. I can just decay in place and take an uber to a senior home when necessary.
Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]Hope it works for you EP, I think you maybe could have gotten about 80% or so of what you are looking for in TV or maybe Fallbrook and been a bit cooler and still driving distance to beach but have fun![/quote]
Tv has a nice mormon church, lots of mormons. No zion natl park tho.
Im starting to think the heat in tv and st george Might be a selling point. My joints feel better in the warmth. Id be very creaky in maine or vermont.
Still, id feel pretty smart selling my house and buying something just as nice for 70% less
ParticipantMaine. Ugh. Mosquitoes.
Utah. Moab. Cleaner.
ParticipantLooked ok when i passed through. I was projecting, prescott i guess was for me. St geo. Sounds like a good place to end up. Good health, professor!
Participantprescott it is
Participantcould be including mello roos?
Participant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=scaredyclassic]Also, what abput the riff raff.[/quote]
The Villages are calling you and Econ Prof
