I've had ample money to retire for a few years now, but I was holding off to do it until I had worked a bit more. Now, I think differently. I'd like to enjoy the rest of my life, and I can't do that working for someone else.Wow. That's a big decision!

I read obituaries. When did small, immidiate-family-only 'Celebration of LIfe' gatherings instead of typical funerals become so common-place. I noticed they seemed pretty common before COVID hit too, so it's not just a COVID thing

It's just another sign of how not-connected we are to each other anymore. Plus it's just another way death s being hidden
I think one of the differences is the body isn't present at "celebration of life" events?I think a "celebration of life" is just a euphemism for a funeral, and wish people would just call it what it is.
This past service was on the temptation in the Garden.
In order to resist sin, we must beware & prepare. Our enemy uses a pattern of deadly tactics to be effective.
He preys on human vulnerabilities.
He appeals to human desires. For example the fruit was pleasing to the eye, food, & gave knowledge. All 3 tend to be good things from God.
He twists God's words.
He maligns God's motives.
He lies about the outcome.
Don't leave! We get little activity here as it is. I'm surprised. It seemed vibrant when I joined in January.I'm surprised I still sign in here. I've outlasted my generation by nearly a decade.
I'm like Hulk Hogan in the NWO at this point.

I've been strongly considering leaving too.
Well my fish died. Not sure what I did wrong. I tested the water a few times since I got it & everything came back good. I knew it was dying a couple days ago. It was losing its color & swimming really weird. Not sure if I should wait a few days to get another one, if the water's unsafe, or I should try again this evening? I'm so confused.--- I am getting 1st Covid dose today.
--- I got a betta (fighting) fish last night. It's blue. I had tropical fish growing up & my friend talked me into it. It's in a 5 gallon tank. I hope it does well. I wonder if I need to get pH & other water testers? The store person didn't advise me on that but I'm reading online it's important. Growing up, we never did that, but if helps them live longer, I want to.
I want someday to get a gecko & cat (& dog when/if I get girlfriend/married), but for now I just settled on betta fish b/c smaller tank. Even small geckos apparently need 20-30 gallon tanks.
