LOL! I guess I could, if I depended solely on the front brake. I don't think I'd feel too happy about that, though. Besides, it's still a little cool for me. <5 days now.

I have not been able to drive OR fly for weeks. That will end Thursday and the wx is supposed to be nice again that day! I'm counting down the hours! (For the terminally curious, I had surgery on my foot and have to wear a boot.) Interestingly, my husband has been really enjoying my...

Unfortunately, I inherited this from my late husband, whose name was--wait for it--William Jones. I've already had a couple of mix-ups where someone thought some mineral rights in the same area were his when in fact they belonged to a different William Jones. Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth...

Yeah, well they'd get, what, 2¢? Don't forget I said the royalties have been all of about $20/year. Not worth it to them to bill me.

I have an extremely small account at another bank in Silicon Valley, a bank that has the word "Tech" in their name. Just got a letter from them saying they're stable, etc., and not to worry. My brother would have gotten the same letter. I forwarded mine to him pointing out that SVB had sent a...

Yes to production; no to property tax. We have the rights, not the property; someone else must own the property, so they'd pay the tax. Mineral rights and property are severable.

Like I said, a passel of charities. That could include POA, if y'all are nice enough to me.

Very information post, Van. Thanks. The quote is kind of where I come down. Why is someone offering me money for something that's almost worthless (right now, anyway)? Your point about cap gains is an interesting one, though. I'm not sure how one could even value the gain. I have no...

I haven't read this entire thread, so I apologize if this has been covered, but what I have read indicates a lot of people have the same misconception about ChatGPT that I did. Unlike Bing, it is not hooked very well into any kind of search function. It is basically a writing tool; "facts" are...

Always fun to fantasize. I'd invest it and use the income at first. I'd probably tear down my house and build a better one in its place. I actually love my house, but it has some quirks that can't be fixed without starting over. I'd hire people for the upkeep on the property (7 acres) as my...

I have an even smaller share that I inherited from my late husband. I get maybe $20/year. I keep getting these kinds of offers, too, but it costs nothing to hang on to the property, so why not? One possible reason is that some gas/oil fields are being looked at as CO2 sequestration sites. I...

We lost one of our dogs last year--16 years old. I didn't want to get another dog (we still have one) because of our age, and I don't want to outlive the poor thing. Husband insisted because he thinks our remaining dog is more mine than his. I told husband that if he wants a puppy, he has to...

This happened to a friend of mine with his sister. The doctors kept sending her back home. She finally fell and injured herself badly, which meant doctors had to engage with her long enough to realize she was incompetent. Would not release her back to home, MUCH to my friend's relief. She's...

Thanks, George!!

I went to that page. I thought I changed my home airport, but now it's not showing at all. It's WN26. I also tried changing my avatar from that page, but it still didn't work. I sent you my avatar in email. Thanks for trying.

JPG. Just tried again and it still won't upload. It's only something like 30 kb, so should upload instantly, even on my relatively slow connection. I click on the space where the image should be, and it gives me an option to upload, but when I choose the image and click "upload", nothing...

But it still can be useful. See my post. You just have to understand the limitations, as you said.

The answer to your question is, no. But I have a question: What's a watch?

And, yes, I tried clearing the cache and logging in again. Still didn't work. If you tell me it's a Safari problem, I'll scream because everything else works FINE on Safari.

My old avatar was pretty old. I've gotten grayer and fatter and my airplane has gotten prettier. So I deleted my old one and tried to upload a new one. It's 320 x 320. But it won't upload. I've tried several times.
