Thank you so much for sending me these @anamoon63 and @108sims! This might be a good opportunity to introduce Connor's parents, Tom and Helene Brownlee.

After graduating from Simstate University with a degree in business and accounting Tom was hired by a prominent Bridgeport Accounting firm, where he soon became a senior accountant. He left after three years to found his own company, Brownlee and Associates.

2. He and Helene met when he visited a physiotherapist for a shoulder injury. Helene was the physiotherapist's receptionist. Tom was attracted to her elegant demeanour, husky voice and the way she used to poke the tip of her tongue between her teeth when she was listening to people talk on the phone. She still does it now when she's concentrating and he still thinks it's adorable.

2. Brownlee and Associates now operates in 6 different countries and provides (according to their slick looking website) 'a complete range of public accounting, taxation and audit services to individuals and business. The main areas of focus include taxation, estate planning, asset protection, and structuring.'

3. Tom and Helene's base is still Bridgeport, but they are also very fond of their villa in Monte Vista and their beach house in Isla Paradiso.

4. Helene had to have an emergency peripartum hysterectomy after giving birth to Connor so that put paid to their plans for any more children. Helene was quite relieved, really. Pregnancy and childbirth were quite the worst experiences of her life.

5.Tom used to play a lot of rugby in his younger days (it was how he got his shoulder injury) and he isn't thrilled about Connor's fondness for soccer. He thinks soccer is a stupid sport. What kind of sport doesn't allow players to use their hands, for Christ's sake?

6. Tom and Helene have now been married for twenty-one years. While there have been challenges, those years have for the most part have been very happy.

7. Tom deals with stress by playing golf and watching Westerns. Helene likes to read, meditate and go on long walks.

8. Helene's life since she got married has been geared to making Tom's career a success, and she loves her role as the loyal corporate wife. She knows she is good at it too. And the perks are extremely seductive, particularly the wardrobe and travel budgets!

9. Both Helene and Tom expect Connor to enter the family business after leaving school.

10. They are also very curious about meeting Saffron...Connor has never admitted to having a girlfriend before! (Helene always imagined he'd marry Laura but it seems they don't think of each other that way, which Helene thinks is a great pity. Laura is such a pretty thing...she and Connor would have the most gorgeous babies!)

How to marry rich?

I am a single woman who would rather marry middle class tbh so I can't really help with marrying a millionaire or anything. If I were going to try marrying rich though, here's what I'd do:

Do a six month legal or medical secretary course. If you're happy with being upper middle class rather than rich-rich, working at law firms or hospitals and doctor's offices are probably the best way of meeting lawyers, doctors and consultants. I've mentioned the story of the Emirati senior doctor who asked to marry me years back based on a picture, and that never would have happened if my mother hadn't known him by working at the hospital with him.

The downside is that the guys who have the most money are usually older and already married, while the ones who are still young and cute and less likely to be taken are probably paying off their student loans and saving up money, and some also realise they hate the job after a couple of years and retrain to become teachers or whatever. If you can find someone young who has their heart set on their career or don't mind an age gap relationship with a wealthier older man then it's a good route though (wouldn't personally recommend an affair with a married man though as you get them how you lose them, but there are exceptions ofc).

Use dating apps near places where rich men hang out. Like five star hotels and restaurants, golf courses, etc. More likely to match with someone wealthy if you're near where the wealthy hang out.

Wouldn't personally recommend this as gambling doesn't always end well, but some women in my city go to casinos trying to meet wealthy men that gamble for fun. If you go into the casinos at evening you'll see a bunch of single women who don't really look like they fit there. And they don't fit there, they're there to meet men.

Work on yourself. If you ever look at rich men's wives, they're always well-spoken, put together, and knowledgeable. You need more than just looks. Pretty faces get boring if you can't hold a conversation. Looks also aren't as paramount as you might think. You need to look attractive obviously, but you don't need to be jaw-droppingly gorgeous. It's rare to see a rich man with a wife who looks like Adriana Lima. It's more important to be well-groomed and put together with an engaging personality than it is to put all your energy into planning the cosmetic surgery you want because your nose is slightly too wide or your boobs are slightly droopy and you think you need to be the most striking one in the room at all times to have a chance (guarantee you that 99.9% of men don't notice or care about these things). Also obviously you should know how to behave, don't do anything that will embarrass him and make him drop you like a hot potato (like calling him "Daaaadddyyy" or something in front of his friends).

Tbh I'd recommend reading r/marryrich on Reddit. They'd have more resources like books and stuff you should read and you can also ask questions to people who have actually married rich.

Edit: should've have mentioned this, but avoid influencers like Anna Bey. A lot of hypergamy influencers who claim to be giving advice on marrying rich are actually giving sugar baby tips but in a covert way that won't get their pages removed from social media. For example, Anna Bey advises people to hang around in hotel lobbies to meet rich men, but you're not going to meet your future husband by hanging out in his hotel lobby. They'll assume you're a sex worker looking for clients. Just be wary of tips like this that are actually tips for sex workers presented in an innocuous way

Sunny Surprising County Louth

Today was another beautiful day in Ireland. All the native Irish have been commenting on how nice the weather has been for the month of May. This kind of weather will really spoil us for when we make a return trip! Today might have been the nicest it’s been since we’ve been here!

We arrived finally arrived at County Louth Golf Club this morning after a few misinterpretations of our GPS guidance. Nothing that a couple of U turns couldn’t take care of though. We arrived early enough to get a little practice in on their range. And then we met Sheldon and Marc our playing partners for the day. Sheldon was from Yellow Knives, Canada and Marc was from the Silicon Valley in California. Marc was a low handicap golfer and Sheldon was a 16 hdcp. 

The course was great!! Beautifully manicured, well designed and long. I had a choice between 6500, 6700 or 7100 yards. I didn’t want to intimidate the other two by playing from the tips so I chose to play the course from 6500. Whew, the back nine started with 5 straight par 4s - 398,464,410,408 & 322! Needless to say no pars on the first five on the back (in case you’re counting I went 6,6,5,5,5) but parred three out of the last four to shoot 43 for the nine ( back was par 35) and 90 for the round. I felt like I played really well for the distance and difficulty of the course.

The course itself had trouble everywhere. Lots of pot bunkers, small mounds of heather in the fairways and the greens were by far the most undulating that we have played and they were lightening fast. The caddie’s said the course was getting ready to host the Irish Amateur next week. Some of the green complex’s were crazy challenging. My caddie was great at reading the greens and forced me to make good course management decisions. I’m sure I would have scored at least 10-15 strokes higher if it weren’t for him. Probably the best caddie I had on the trip.

At Kim’s request, I haven’t been commenting on her game or scores but she played really well today. In fact, this was her best outing of the trip! Senior Ladies Tour is now a possibility:-)

We’re going out to eat tonight at O’Connell’s in Howth. It’s a small resort town located out on a very small and rocky peninsula that is almost an island. Jutting out into the Irish Sea, Howth’s buildings are bright colored and perched on the rocky cliffs. Cool little village and a very popular place to hang out. We’ll be there with all the beautiful people tonight!!

Tomorrow is a check out some of Dublin and Malahide. Malahide is a cool seaside town with lots of shops and a beautiful marina located on another of Ireland’s thousands of scenic bays. Blessings to all!

Exploring Golf Green Fees: What You Need to Know Before Booking

When planning a golfing trip, understanding the concept of golf green fees is essential. These fees are fundamental to the golfing experience and can vary significantly depending on various factors. 

Whether you're an experienced golfer or just starting, knowing what to expect and how to navigate these fees will help you make the most of your time on the course.

What Are Golf Green Fees?

Golf green fees are the charges that golf courses levy for the privilege of playing a round. These fees contribute to the maintenance of the course, ensuring that it remains in top condition for all players. While the term "green fee" might suggest it only covers access to the greens, it typically includes the use of the entire course, from tee to hole.

Factors Influencing Golf Green Fees

Several factors influence the cost of golf green fees. Being aware of these can help you plan your budget and choose the right courses for your needs.

Course Prestige and Location: Prestigious courses, especially those with historical significance or designed by famous architects, often charge higher green fees. Similarly, courses located in prime tourist destinations or scenic areas may have elevated prices.

Season and Time of Day: Golf green fees can fluctuate based on the season and time of day. Peak seasons, typically during spring and summer, see higher fees compared to off-peak times. Additionally, morning tee times might be more expensive than afternoon slots.

Day of the Week: Weekend green fees tend to be higher than those on weekdays, reflecting the increased demand from golfers.

Course Amenities: Courses offering additional amenities such as luxurious clubhouses, professional caddies, and advanced practice facilities might charge higher green fees. These extras can enhance your golfing experience but come at a premium.

Membership Status: Many golf courses offer discounted rates to members. If you plan to play frequently at a particular course, exploring membership options could be cost-effective.

Types of Green Fees

Understanding the different types of golf green fees can help you make informed decisions when booking your tee times.

Standard Green Fee: This is the basic fee for playing a round of golf. It covers access to the course and any standard amenities provided.

Twilight Fee: Courses often offer discounted rates for rounds played later in the day, typically in the afternoon or early evening. These twilight fees provide an excellent opportunity to play at a reduced cost.

Junior and Senior Fees: Many courses offer special rates for junior golfers (usually under 18) and seniors (typically 60 and above). These discounted fees encourage broader participation in the sport.

Weekend and Holiday Fees: As weekends and holidays see higher demand, courses might have separate fee structures for these days, usually at a premium.

Group Rates: If planning a group outing or a corporate event, inquire about group rates. Courses often provide discounts for larger groups, making it a more affordable option for multiple players.

Booking Strategies to Optimize Green Fees

Securing the best value for your golf green fees involves some strategic planning. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your bookings.

Advance Booking: Booking your tee times well in advance can often secure better rates, especially during peak seasons. Early planning also ensures availability at your preferred courses.

Flexible Scheduling: Flexibility with your schedule can lead to significant savings. Consider playing during off-peak times or on weekdays to take advantage of lower fees.

Look for Deals and Promotions: Many golf courses offer special deals, promotions, and packages that can reduce the overall cost. These might include discounted green fees, bundled rounds, or complimentary amenities.

Join Golf Networks: Membership in golf networks or associations can provide access to discounted green fees at a variety of courses. These networks often have partnerships with courses worldwide.

Stay and Play Packages: If planning a golfing vacation, explore stay and play packages offered by resorts and hotels. These packages typically include accommodations and rounds of golf at a discounted rate.

Making the Most of Your Green Fee

Once you've booked your tee time, there are ways to maximize the value of your green fee and enhance your overall experience.

Arrive Early: Arriving early allows you to warm up properly, familiarize yourself with the course layout, and make use of practice facilities.

Utilize Course Amenities: Take full advantage of the amenities included in your green fee. This might include practice ranges, putting greens, and locker rooms.

Engage with Staff: The staff at golf courses are there to help. Don't hesitate to ask for tips on course management, local rules, or any other information that can improve your game.

Play Multiple Rounds: If your schedule allows, consider playing multiple rounds. Some courses offer discounted rates for additional rounds played on the same day or within a certain timeframe.

Exploring Golf Courses in Spain

Spain is a golfer's paradise, offering a diverse range of courses that cater to all skill levels. Understanding the green fee structures of Spanish courses can help you plan a memorable golfing trip.

Costa del Sol: Known as the "Costa del Golf," this region boasts some of Spain's most prestigious courses. Expect higher green fees at renowned courses like Valderrama and Finca Cortesin, but the experience is well worth the investment.

Canary Islands: For a unique golfing experience, consider the Canary Islands. Courses like Abama and Anfi Tauro offer breathtaking views and challenging layouts, with green fees reflecting their exclusive locations.

United States: Courses in the U.S. can range from highly affordable municipal courses to extremely expensive private clubs. Public courses like Pebble Beach command high green fees, similar to Spain's top courses.

Understanding Retirement Villages

Retirement villages are specially designed communities for individuals, typically over the age of 55. These communities offer a unique blend of independent living, communal activities, and support services tailored to the needs of seniors.

Surrey Golf Club's Illegal Waste Scandal

A scandal has rocked a Surrey golf club after it was discovered that illegal waste had been dumped on the course. The Environment Agency’s investigation revealed almost 700 lorry-loads of waste, resulting in significant fines for two Sussex companies and the golf club's owners.  

Reckless Behaviour Uncovered

The illegal dumping occurred at Rusper Golf Club near Gatwick Airport. An anonymous tip-off led the Environment Agency to uncover the reckless actions of Worthing-based Rusper Leisure Ltd, Crawley haulier Cook and Son Ltd, and Bell and Sons Construction Ltd of Faygate. The district judge condemned the behaviour as “reckless,” handing down fines totalling £38,000.   Environment Agency Investigation The investigation revealed that Rusper Leisure Ltd had planning permission to raise part of an embankment on the driving range by 2 metres, intended to catch stray golf balls. However, this permission was only for clean soil. Instead, the company allowed Cook and Son Ltd and Bell and Sons Construction Ltd to offload waste without the necessary approval from the Environment Agency.   Fines and Costs for Involved Parties Company Fine Amount Additional Costs Total Fine Rusper Leisure Ltd £2,000 £3,000 £5,000 Cook and Son Ltd £24,000 £12,500 £36,500 Bell and Sons Construction £12,000 £8,000 £20,000  

Investigation Findings

Investigators found the embankment's surface contained glass, wood, plastic, tarmac, brick, concrete, and other materials. Similar loads were also dumped around the course and nearby areas. Cook and Bell paid Rusper Leisure £100 per load for the waste dumped on and around the greens in late 2018.   Illegal Waste Stockpiling The investigation also discovered that waste was used to create more embankments and was stockpiled close to woods on the edge of the golf course and in the club’s car park. Builders' waste was mixed in with some of the soil, posing significant environmental risks.  

Environmental and Legal Implications

Jamie Hamilton, the senior environmental crime officer leading the investigation, emphasised the importance of obtaining Environment Agency authorisation for waste disposal. Despite this, the companies involved disregarded these regulations.   Statements from Involved Parties Sara Blunden, company secretary of Rusper Leisure, claimed she didn’t know a permit was needed, believing planning permission was sufficient. Duncan Bell, a director with Bell and Sons, admitted he didn’t check if an environmental permit was necessary. Christopher Cook of Cook and Son confessed that his drivers left waste on the course without verifying the site's legality.   Legal Charges and Fines Rusper Leisure Ltd was charged with operating a waste disposal site without an environmental permit. Cook and Son Ltd and Bell and Sons Construction Ltd faced charges under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for illegal waste dumping.   The Takeaway This case highlights the critical need for strict adherence to environmental regulations. The significant fines imposed reflect the gravity of illegal waste disposal and the Environment Agency’s role in enforcing compliance. The community is reminded of the importance of responsible waste management to protect our environment.   Future Implications The closure of Rusper Golf Club, once a renowned course opened by Ryder Cup captain Tony Jacklin, serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of environmental negligence. The Environment Agency continues to monitor and enforce regulations to prevent similar incidents in the future, ensuring that the environment is safeguarded for generations to come.   Sources: THX News & Environment Agency.

Kidney stones can be incredibly painful and disruptive, but with the right treatment strategies and expert care, you can conquer this common urological condition and reclaim your health. Here, we'll explore effective tips for managing kidney stones and highlight the best urology care options available to you.

Understanding Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain when they pass through the urinary tract. They can vary in size and composition, with some being as small as a grain of sand while others can grow to be as large as a golf ball. Common symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, and difficulty urinating.

Treatment Strategies for Kidney Stones

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential for preventing the formation of kidney stones. Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day to help flush out toxins and prevent mineral buildup in the kidneys. Follow a Balanced Diet: Certain foods can increase the risk of kidney stone formation, such as those high in oxalates, sodium, and animal proteins. Opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limit your intake of processed foods and beverages high in sugar and caffeine. Manage Underlying Conditions: Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure can increase the risk of kidney stones. Managing these conditions through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular check-ups can help reduce your risk. Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help dissolve kidney stones or alleviate symptoms such as pain and inflammation. Your doctor may recommend pain relievers, alpha blockers, or medications to control underlying conditions that contribute to stone formation. Medical Procedures: For larger kidney stones or those causing severe symptoms, medical procedures may be necessary to remove or break up the stones. Common procedures include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Expert Urology Care for Kidney Stones

When it comes to managing kidney stones, seeking expert urology care is crucial for personalized treatment and optimal outcomes. In Lucknow, sector B, you can find the best endo urology care and uro-oncology care options, including top-rated hospitals and specialists like Dr. Aditya Sharma for female urology care, pediatric urology care, and general urology care.

Conclusion

While kidney stones can be a painful and challenging condition to manage, with the right treatment strategies and expert urology care, you can overcome this obstacle and achieve relief. By following a balanced diet, staying hydrated, managing underlying conditions, and seeking timely medical intervention when needed, you can conquer kidney stones and enjoy better urological health. Don't let kidney stones hold you back—take control of your health and seek the best urology care options available to you.

Safety should always be a primary concern when working out. This goes double for men of an advanced age.

The bodies of seniors aren't what they used to be. Their bones are a bit more brittle, and their cardiovascular and respiratory capacities are more limited. Because of this and many other reasons, safety should be a primary concern.

Warm-up and stretching before exercising should be longer, as should cool-down time.

Reminder #2: Having a trainer is a huge plus for aging men.

During exercise, it's ideal that a trainer is present. However, if no trainers are available, a companion should be present.

In the same vein, when seniors go out for a nature hike or an early morning walk, Evan Bass Men's Clinic adds that it's better to go in groups in case of emergencies.

Reminder #3: Low-impact training is the best kind of training for aging men.

As previously mentioned, Evan Bass Men's Clinic recommends low-impact workouts for aging men.

With all the traditional and new-age HIIT workout routines reaching record highs in popularity, it's easy to overlook the low-impact exercises that fitness gurus and health professionals so often recommend.

People may not be aware of it, but swimming, brisk walking, and cycling are considered low-impact exercises. Low-impact exercises are those that are easy and smooth on the joints. For instance, jogging isn't low impact, but once modified to walking, it becomes low impact.

Reminder #4: You don't need to do away completely with high-impact training.

If you enjoy high-impact exercises such as HIIT or boxing, Evan Bass Men's Clinic says that you can still do it. However, it's recommended that you substitute some of the days with swimming or cycling.

Doing this once or twice a week can be enough to preserve the health of a person's joints. This is extremely valuable when he reaches old age.

On a final note, regarding old age, Evan Bass Men's Clinic mentions that these routines are intense enough to strengthen the heart and lungs without weighing so much of a person's bones, bones that get more vulnerable with age.

Low-impact exercises such as golf also force a person to maintain proper posture, which is important when one reaches his twilight years.

Low-impact exercises also offer as much health benefits as other exercises. Just think of swimming and cycling and their effectiveness in full-body exercise.

Evan Bass Men's Clinic touches on essential topics such as fitness, men's health, fatherhood, and more. Visit this site to read similar blogs.

Online reviews can be a valuable resource when searching for a hotel. Look for reviews on websites like TripAdvisor, Google, and Yelp.

Book directly with the hotel.  

Booking directly with the hotel can often save you money compared to booking through a third-party site. Hotels may offer discounts or promotions for direct bookings. Additionally, if you have any questions or concerns about your stay, it can be easier to communicate directly with the hotel. 

Which is the best hotel to stay at in Lehigh Acres?

Why Should Elderly Get The Covid-19 Vaccination?

Seniors May Suffer a Higher Risk of Severe Illness: Older adults are at an increased risk of COVID-19 symptoms, which can lead to hospitalisation, could get admitted into the intensive care unit or even death. The COVID-19 Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness.

Community Protection: Getting vaccinated contributes to achieving herd immunity, which helps protect the entire community, including those who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical reasons or allergies. This reduces the overall transmission of the virus.

Effective and Safe: COVID-19 vaccines are authorised for emergency use and have undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy. They have been shown to be highly effective at preventing illness, particularly severe cases.

Global Pandemic Control: By getting vaccinated, elderly individuals contribute to the global effort to control the pandemic, preventing further waves of infection and potential mutations of the virus.

Peace of Mind: Vaccination can offer peace of mind to elderly individuals and their families. It can alleviate concerns about the virus's potential impact on their health and well-being.

Strategies to Maintain a Good Health

Maintaining good health involves a combination of proactive choices and habits that foster physical, mental, and emotional well-being. One of the foremost strategies is a balanced diet that provides essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Incorporating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into your meals can support overall health.

Regular physical activity is equally crucial. Engaging in exercise, whether it's brisk walking, swimming, or yoga, helps maintain a healthy weight, improves cardiovascular fitness, and enhances muscle strength and flexibility. Our NUS Mind Science Centre organises active ageing programmes which motivates physical activity to survive.

Prioritising sleep and stress management is also vital. A consistent sleep schedule, quality rest, and stress-reduction techniques such as meditation or deep breathing exercises can boost immunity and emotional resilience.

Additionally, staying well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day is essential. It supports digestion, cognitive function, and overall bodily functions. Regular health check-ups with healthcare professionals are indispensable for early detection and prevention of illnesses. This includes screenings, vaccinations, and discussions about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Mental well-being is equally vital.

Engaging in activities that stimulate the mind, like reading, puzzles, or learning new skills, can help maintain cognitive function. Moreover, cultivating a robust support network of friends and family, and seeking professional guidance when needed, promotes emotional well-being. By adopting these strategies, individuals can actively take charge of their health, leading to a higher quality of life and longevity.
