  • Who are the bigger nerds?

    The Star Wars nerds?
    The Harry Potter nerds?

    Or me, for asking this question?


    Potter...just because the wands aren't as cool as lightsabers
    I watched 50 year old men wave wands around today, while wearing those black gowns, and they were in their own little "nerd world". 

    Until we arrived at Universal I had NO IDEA that this whole Harry Potter CULT even existed. 
    There should be special prisons for these people.
    One thing I do know.....

    The Harry Potter franchise is making a FUCKING TON OF MONEY. And I am probably the last person on the planet to become aware of that fact.

    Case closed.
    Winter Garden Florida has peaked my interest. Looked at some nice apartments and condos. I'm pretty sure once I sell I will never OWN another house. She feels the exact same. We are leaning towards keeping whatever money we have, put it all into different accounts and such, and just rent. 

    But anyway, 12 miles from disney, beautiful landscape, lovely area, restaurants and shopping close by.

    And it doesn't fucking snow in Winter Garden Florida.

    When I was sold?
    As I was driving to apartment complex, we discovered a Portillos and a Giordanos both a mile or two away.
    It was a done deal.

    If everything goes as planned, I should be down there by May 1st. Going to rent for the 1st year, make sure we like it, and then decide what are next decision is. Buy? Keep renting? House? Condo?

    Also need to make a decision on our current house here in Chicago. Sell it, take the money and run? Or, keep it and rent it out for a while? We will see.

    I really hope so. But if I get down there and realize it's too fucking hot, florida blows, and I don't like alligators? Well then I wouldn't mind still having my house in Chicago to come back home to. Hahaha

    edited January 30
    Retirement 

    I wouldn't mind laying at the pool area a few hours every day, maybe some bass fishing once a week. She will probably work from home 2-3 days a week. Myself? I will never fucking work another day in my life.

    Pool, fishing, dinners a couple nights a week at Epcot, and just enjoy what time I have left. Just keep sending me my social security checks, and her and I will be just fine.

    Yeah, the summers can be brutal down there. But summers can be brutal in Chicago and Boston too. 
    Alligators, that's a FLA thing.

    I'm just done with the Chicago winters. I am completely done with them. With my hand/arm situation, I just don't need the pain. And walking outside here in January and February, with my heart situation, again I don't need the pain.

    Is that a Big Problem in the Disney/Orlando area? And here I thought my research was complete.

    $1500 for the yearly Disney Pass.
    A fucking bargain in my eyes.
    For that price, a large portion of my entertainment for the year is covered. Haha

    I was on the friendship boat 2 weeks ago, just sitting back going from Epcot, to Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach, And Hollywood Studios. I realized just how much Im gonna like it down there. Call me a geek, I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks. Haha
