If you have $100k in the bank and you live in a paid for home you can probably make it quite awhile relatively comfortably with SS supplementation as long as you're not being extravagant. Then you hit the first big medical expense and now you're in a financial tailspin.

How deep into retirement were these folks? I just don't see how $50-100k is going to carry you very far even with Social Security supplementation unless you have significant other assets you can also liquidate as needed - which is probably the huge factor missing here.

Cost of living, crippling traffic, total culture change (everything just started to feel forced and fake), having a kid and all our family being on the other side of the country. Basically we were ready to tap out after 14 years and the equity we had in our home was just too much to pass up when COVID hit. Who knew if things were gonna keep skyrocketing or totally tank? Couldn't risk it. Time to go. Honestly, I despise Asheville. It's hillbilly Boulder. The entire vibe is just so forced and fake. If I want to remember why I left Colorado all I have to do is drive 45 minutes to Asheville to see the wish.com version.

It's illegal because of the paper industry. It's remained illegal because of big tobacco then later big pharma. Underlying racism was just part of the sales pitch. I'm honestly surprised that big tobacco hasn't shifted to lobbying hard FOR marijuana legalization. Tobacco use is declining. They need a new cash cow.

I honestly have no idea how you'd get enough for them to even come the transfer fee. Who wants to be obligated to buy a season's worth of Panthers tickets in perpetuity right now?

There's a lot fuged up with our legal system. They're still arresting people for a plant that no one has ever OD'd from while carrying around Narcan. Figure that one out.

100% One of the local county DAs has already been very local about how they plan to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

Yep, remember those days well living in CO at the time. I would not recommend heading to Cherokee planning to stock up. Wouldn't be surprising to see checkpoints with dogs. Such a tremendous use of resources.

The offense is going to have to be a lot better because the D is likely to take a step back. Gotta remember we lost two of our top three defenders in Burns and Luvu. Gotta build that side around Brown now.

I just hope Morgan and Canales are the answers and that Tepper has some patience because even if they are the answers this season is likely to be ugly no matter what. Don't knee-jerk fire more people on the meantime. Just let this poo show play out.

The raw physical talent was already there in spades. He still has accuracy issues. He's very similar to Cam in a lot of ways. They both have mechanical flaws that leads to inconsistencies but they both also have the ability to make plays that virtually no one else can with their arm strength and power RB running style.

Agreed. Usually when he missed it was high and it sailed high because he'd drift and throw off his back foot.

Cleaning up his footwork wouldn't have prevented his shoulder injuries.

It's far better than just relying on him to be a super processor. If he has any chance his footwork has to be rebuilt. Snark aside, I'm glad they're admitting it and trying to address it. I'd be lying if I said I expect it to work but you gotta at least try.

It has to happen. Imagine trading up to #1 overall to draft a physically limited QB who has to have his mechanics rebuilt from the ground up. Oh wee mayne.

I've always thought Pepsi honestly just straight up sucks. Coke is way better. RC Cola is Pepsi done right IMO. It tastes like Pepsi would if Pepsi was actually good if that makes sense.

I mean, it's not surprising. We basically have two mid-level FA vets and then a bunch of scraps or guys on rookie contracts vs. arguably the best WR in the league. Our entire QB room makes substantially less than the elite QBs too. Unfortunately, sometimes you get what you paid for and so far that's holding true for the Panthers' offense.

The Panthers going cheap at WR and fielding one of the most anemic offenses in NFL history isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for the concept.

It's why I'm just waiting for them to hit the field. I don't care about the fluff piece stuff. Show me.

Feeling much better this afternoon. I think the keto flu has been broken. Yesterday and this morning sucked.

I agree it tastes sweeter but looking at the sugar content they're all roughly about equally bad.

It's all literally just unnaturally sweet syrup mixed with carbonated water.

Not what I want to be seeing in the middle of keto flu. The last time I did the keto diet I was already eating cleanly. Went into keto with no ill effects. This time I went keto following a week long vacation of eating like complete poo. Would not recommend. Clean up you diet for a bit first.

I too am salty the Panthers didn't draft CJ Stroud.

Maybe we've just figured out that this 27 year old former 2nd round pick coming off of two season ending knee injuries has just been playing the wrong position his entire life and we're about to free him up to shine. I struggle to recall such a thing actually working out but hey, we'll see.
