#Gay #Expats Really want to retire abroad for *reasons* Overwhelmed taking in as much information as possible. Any help is appreciated.
Retiring within a year. Prefer Europe. Don’t need to start in my forever country, but need to establish residency. Social Security/Pension/Investments as income.

I miss when we had three separate but equal branches of government that acted as checks and balances against each other.

I own a Tesla (with a "I bought my car before I knew Elon was crazy" sticker.) He has TANKED the resale value. I can't sell it. I can't trade it in. I now owe more than it is worth. Amazing considering I waited a year for delivery on the #1 selling car for 2or3 years. Seriously looking for options.

I am VERY excited to have had my name drawn to run the 2025 New York City Marathon this November! This will be my second time running this amazing race, which is still my all-time favorite!

Uhhmmm. Last time I checked ALL of it is our money. We are the taxpayers. 100% of it needs to be returned to us.
So, I never thought this through....where was he PLANNING to funnel that money? Now I'm intrigued...

Hey, asshat, the Russians invaded Ukraine.
Someday, very soon, I hope we truly learn why you are so besotted with Putin. What does he have on you?

He wasn't elected.
He has NO oversight
No protections or guardrails are in place
There is literally NOTHING stopping the richest man from draining every bank account, looting Social Security, defunding Medicare, and tanking your 401k.

There was a time when a 6-mile run was just a Tuesday after work. Today's 6-mile #LondonMarathon training run was a harsh reminder that if you don't use it you lose it!
The upside is my new Brooks Ghost Max 2s arrived today. At least my feet will be cushiony while the rest of me is in agony!

How did John Chu not get an #AcademyAwards #Oscars nomination for best Direction? For that matter, how did #Wicked not get nominated for Cinematography?

First official #LondonMarathon training run done 🏃🏻♂️. Although, I discovered that I am a week behind. 🤷🏻♂️
Since it’s been more than five years since my last race, I’m giving up on a Boston Qualifying time and focusing on just getting over the finish line.

2/2 But there's more! How many accounts are setup to use FB as a login? For me it was Spotify and Pinterest. But IG also allows you to use their login to access other sites and accounts. It is a very intricate and far reaching web.

Interesting how interwoven everything becomes. If you are also interested in deleting your FB account, understand that IG, Threads, and WhatsApp (! 🤯) are also owned by Zuck. Whats App is where you went when you wanted PRIVATE conversations! All are now closed and pending deletion. 1/2

Hi new (old) friends. WOW! Nice to see many jumped over, or are at least straddling the fence. I respect all of you and your decisions. However, I will block someone so fast it will make their nose bleed if I feel someone is here to stir up trouble. I'm old and cranky, and it's my perogative. 😆

Well, it looks like the bots have made it over to the good place. Sigh.
Time to practice blocking large-breasted, scantily clad, overly made-up followers with no posts, but 10,000 follows.

I was trying to show how beat up my feet get after a #marathon training run. But the before pics don't look much better! #runnersfeet #dancersfeet
