Yeah, definitely echoing my main concerns about money/maintenance sink, as well as whether I would actually use it enough.

Legit have been using King Spews method although with smaller version (literally lying on a floaty in like 1' of water) on the super hot days in the past few summers, although feels just one step above (below?) hillbilly.

What’s the bubble?

2000 was dot com. 2008 was mortgage.

so because prices have exceeded a previous bubble you think it's a bubble?

(note: i'm not saying it's not a bubble, just wondering NAIB thought process)

GG should build a somewhat bigger pool than what's stated.

Then, of course, get boards/glass/goals/etc, and start the 2p2 hockey league the other six months/year.

After 2000 fed dropped rates. Everyone borrowed and got houses they couldn’t afford. As of now the bubble is cheap mortgage financing likely overpriced assets that once the market corrects, will result in a popped bubble.


So it’s low rates which gives houses a higher price than they are worth due to the whole what can you afford monthly type of living


There’s also a huge used car market bubble that’s due to pop soon


The stock market is in a bubble as the returns that the market is giving is greater than what financial advisors can offer , so by definition the market is over performing and will need to adjust.

Could be wrong but that was from my Ivy league finance professor so I assume he’s right

My dog loves it, though. So does the wife. I get very little value out of it besides making her happy.

How many months of pool weather do you get up there? Without a heater, I've just started getting into my pool here in the desert Southwest. And I expect I'll be able to use it until maybe the 1st of Oct.
What's your cutoff temp? It's been above 90 here for a long time.

I actually just returned to the globogym pool last weekend. I learned my new sunglass tinted goggle are too stiff to keep the water out of my eyes.

I am surprised that your Ivy League professor gave you such a shallow response.

Was this an intro class?

Or was this one of those summer certifications?

Might actually make more sense. I call Captain!

Never really realized how spoiled I was growing up on a lake (in it during the summer, on it in during the winter). I still really enjoy being in the water, so I think that is what is bringing this pool consideration on. But also not convinced it is worth it.

Actually playing my first hockey game in ~7 months tonight (wow, has it been that long?). Rink has started back up so we're able to get in scrimmages amongst ourselves.

This was at a bar cause I think he was trying to get it in. I took him for a number of classes don’t think any were intro classes.

Still have recurring nightmare where I'm a few credits short of graduating, have had to go back to university, and half way thru the semester I'm flunking cuz too hard / not showing up to class / etc.

For some reason this nightmare also often includes being a full days travel away from the housing I have to move into by the next day but not knowing the address / contact information for that housing. Ditto for times/locations of university classes that are starting the next day.

College is typically viewed as a time of expression and experimentation. Are you really flunking because the semester is too hard? Because your next reasoning -- "not showing up for class" -- suggests the opposite: maybe your semester wasn't hard enough, and you need to find something which challenges you, or at least lights up your imagination.

This seems to tie into the second paragraph: not understanding where your "home" is or where you're supposed to be.

Are you finding yourself going through the motions, wondering about what could be if you take action and experiment? Should you have written the great Canadian novel? Would they have folded if you 3bet bluffed once? Would the course down the street beat the monotony of the same 9 holes over and over? Maybe it's time to step out of our bubbles and explore the areas that aren't so comfortable so we can truly express ourselves.

Spoiler:
All nonsense obviously, but you get what you pay for. $10/hour which comes out to about 16 cents a minute, for a total of 32 cents please.
