Just in case anybody was wondering why I want a commercial kitchen tonight's dinner: Falafel made with herbs from my garden, tangerine brown rice, salad (marinating in a balsamic Dijon dressing)tomatoes, onions and green squash to be served over red leaf lettuce, an eggplant dish sort of like camponata but more Greek like in flavor and lemon cake

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.

Is that just for the kids ?

Dogs go through some strange phases. Lately, Jack will make himself comfortable, sprawled out, in room doorways.

Now, other dogs may do that occasionally, but Jack has been blocking doorways (upstairs and downstairs) for about a week now. If we tell him to move, he looks at us like, "What's your problem? Step over me." :rolleyes:

He's about 11 1/2 years old now, and acts very entitled. Perhaps his stubborn stance is the older dog's version of "get off my lawn!" :p

:hilarious:
I’ve posted before how Belle is so skittish during t-storms and Ranger is oblivious.
The last time we had storms, they didn’t seem to phase Belle much at all, which was totally uncharacteristic. We were a bit baffled... :cyclops:
Early this mornin’ (5a-ish), we had some unexpected storms roll through, and Belle was back to her old self.
If I’m around during storms, she always comes straight to me. The 80lb. pup was sprawled across my stomach for about 1.5 hours, even a good 30 mins. after the storms had passed.
I finally had to move her so I could go to the potty...!!!!! :hilarious:

I'm sorry, I was talking about Trad. Ira, because to many the difference is confusing. Traditional contributions are pre-tax and Roth is after tax money so it isn't taxable nor are the earnings, but it does seem to me that there are some exception to that depending on what the withdrawal is used for. I am not versed on what those exception might be, but it is probably rare that anyone have that problem. I thought Roth's were earmarked for something specific and had to be used for that purpose. I might be wrong about that, correct me if I am. Seems to me that they once were establish to pay for a child's college expenses or etc. I am to old to have been a part of that so I never really looked into it.

So you are correct... I was talking about Trad. IRA and just saying that not all IRA's are not taxable. I know that every year I have to estimate my income and since at my age I am required to make withdrawals from my IRA I want to make sure that I am not going to have any tax liability because I don't have any tax taken out in advance.

No worries, as I’m not versed on it all either, but, unless something has changed, a Roth IRA doesn’t have to be earmarked for anything specific, from what I understand. At a certain point, you can also roll a 401K over into a Roth 401K.
As far as the RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) goes, you are correct, and you hafta’ be very careful, or the taxes will eat up your retirement savings quicker than you’ll need it for.

There will additionally be an in-person graduation on the HS Football Field on July 8th ;)

Yep, the HS football field is where we had our graduation back in 1980...!!!!! :eek::hilarious:
Class of 493, as we were the only HS in the district in a population explosion back then. There are now 7 HSs in our district...!!!!! :hilarious:

BTW...
Congrats to your DD, and to you and your wife, as well...!!! :)

My brother-in-law got a new Salad Tree. Does it make anyone else miss Epcot? No? Just me?

I'm so sad I didn't get to send him on the Behind the Seeds tour for his birthday last year!! I think he would have loved it. He certainly loved "Living with the Land".
Raises hand high in the air. I wish I had room for one of them.
