The "What's on your mind?" thread

I just read an article about someone who retired early, but hated it. I retired before age 50, and do not regret one second of it. Do it if you possibly can; the rat race will always be there to return to if you want that. I love being retired.

Taco Bell for lunch I think. Or I could go Panda Express but im feeling like bean burritos right now. That’s how I’m feeling, soft and squishy.

No, go to a Whole Foods with a cafe instead. They have organic bean burritos that are fresh rather than processed.

I really need to try the Whole Foods market/cafe more often. It is a bit pricey but that was also in Miami Beach. I did notice they had a few Indian offerings which I tend to enjoy but I prefer the real stuff from an actual restaurant-better taste!


Even the frozen dinners can be hit or miss except for the ones at Trader Joe’s.

Can’t go wrong with a chalupa supreme. Right as rain.

Nobody wants to hire older people so getting back into the game after a certain age may prove challenging. At my job, the average retirement age is 90 lol. The bookkeeper worked until she was 94. My old boss was finally forced out at 91. My company's CEO's (who is 75, BTW) secretary is still coming in twice a week. She's 77 with no plans of retiring. I may be on the same boat - I started working here in 1995 when I was 21, I just turned 50 and I ain't going nowhere.

I find myself eating less microwave food because I always feel awkward heating up food in other people's microwaves and because it tends to be extremely hot so you have to wait a bit to eat it. Plus, unhealthy in general.

Had that Wednesday interview with LCDF and now I'm interviewing Tuesday afternoon with Tresco, we'll see how that goes.

I reheat leftovers in the oven and not the microwave as the oven is better in every way.

So I watched Dune 2 yesterday which was excellent. I got there 15 mins early before the previews started rolling. I know it’s usually 20 mins of fluff before the film rolls but my goodness it was a full 30 mins before the film began. I fought hard not to get up for a bathroom break haha.

30 minutes of previews!

My friends are taking me to see Dune Part Two tonight and I have been taking it extra easy all day so that I will have the strength to go. In my condition, going to the theater to see a long movie at night is a major undertaking, but well worth it from what I have heard. I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

I did my homework, too, by watching the first movie again last night, so that my memory is refreshed going into part two.

Way too many previews. Enjoy the film!

Yeah the best is when the film is over 2.5 hours long and it starts about 40 minutes past the advertised time.

[sfmarine]

It was the longest preview segment I ever sat through. If I see Dune 2 again I’ll arrive 30 mins past the advertised time and still have 5 mins to spare.

I find it varies, probably due to the projectionist who hits play on the file not doing it at the same time for every showing.

I am so glad that I was able to see this excellent movie at the theater with friends. The previews were long, but I really didn't mind.

Glad to hear you had a nice time out with some friends and got to enjoy Dune.

Wondering why wrestlemania 37 DVD USA isn't listed on here. Tgeres still few wrestling missing from both blu ray and dvd sections. Power book 2 Ghost season DVDs are missing as well yet Ghost seasons I've seen at Walmart. Maybe their Bootlegs but walmart still has them. My walmart pretty much has no physical media. Next city. They have a whole big wall of physical media but only DVDs no Blu Ray. Except new releases

I thought that the seasons of the Power shows were on 2K BluRay Disc. Are you not interested in having this TV show franchise on 2K BluRay Disc, LoneWolfClub?
