  1. They might offer to send you all the months old news you missed, if you ask nicely. 😋 I’m sure I’m getting soaked for some subscriptions that are virtually useless to me. I don’t have $5.3 Million in Disney stock alone, so I need to watch my nickels and dimes!
  2. Umm, I don’t pay you at all! Should I be expecting an invoice or something? I doubt that gets past accounting. 🤷‍♂️ Serena has a lot going on, for sure.
  3. Chris Eubanks of the US is quite a story! He’s 6’7” and just beat #5 Tsitsipas to get into the quarter finals. He came into the year ranked #123. Seems like a nice guy and he is ON A ROLL!
  4. I think we all know he just wanted to tell us he was invited to speak in Vegas (not exactly rare in Vegas, my wife has done it), but he wasn’t smart enough to realize that only a complete buffoon can’t get himself dressed. Kind of like asking for recipes so he can tell us he spends thousands of dollars a month going out to eat also means his wife is incapable of basic kitchen skills and concepts. Our self-proclaimed genius misses out on the double edged sword he wields. This has turned sad, indeed.
  5. I think we all know why. His schtick was initially mildly entertaining, but that has long since worn off. I wonder if he has set a record for the most posters to put one person on ignore. He offers nothing of value, despite his delusions of grandeur.
  6. I’m just sitting there to try to minimize the amount of shame you might bring upon our fine nation. I will do my best, but I can make no promises! The EPL stuff would be awesome if I can work any of that in. I’d rather do that than see every cathedral and museum in town.
  7. Djokovic reminds me of Aaron Rodgers. Smart, but not as smart as he thinks he is. That smugness is embarrassing.
  8. Zero dimension chess on my part. I should get checked!
  9. It’s not worth your time. Have a nice night.
  10. I dare you to mention the bottom of the ocean floor and @4merper4mer! 😂
  11. There are a lot of things they can do to make it more enjoyable to watch, IMO. I like it as is, but mostly as background. I flip in and out. If you want fun, I loved attending Team Tennis events. Men and women in singles and doubles/mixed. The music is going, the drinks are pouring and the crowd gets rocking! I enjoyed that much more than I thought I would.
  12. My sister’s family decided to skip gifts for anything one year. No birthdays, Mother’s Day , Christmas, etc. They put a pretty good dent in the cost of going to Paris over Christmas break. I seriously doubt anyone could name a gift they got the year before or the year after, but they all remember Paris.
  13. This isn’t a math problem, though the formulas were amusing. It will happen, or it won’t. The past does not answer any questions about our future. There might be a coincidence, but that’s all it would be.
  14. I am quoting this….just because I can! 😋 . BUT, if you look at it from a team perspective it kind of dilutes “the HC must go!!!” message intended to be sent. Life is not that simple. .
  15. Here you are using a product to gain an experience. The product isn’t what you cherish, it is a means to the desired end, the experience. We think of this as an educational gift to him. This will beat the hell out of a new bathing suit or a video game. But you can always argue just about anything if you want to. I think the basic point was pretty clear.
  16. Experiences > Things. We are taking our 9 year old grandson to NYC next weekend. We will see the Harry Potter play, have dinner in Central Park (Tavern on the Green), take the ferry around the Statue of Liberty, see the view of the Chrysler Building and Manhattan skyline from the wife’s office, etc. It would be much less expensive to buy him one of the toys he’s so eager to have, the toys that will be forgotten in a month. His first trip to the Big Apple will stay with him a lifetime. .
  17. Well, if you had no punctures to show for your back pain, lack of steering and getting stuck on rocks, I guess it’s pretty rugged. As are you. I never actually call for room service, but I like knowing it’s there.
  18. I would love to come on here one day and give you a FIVE STAR review! Yeah, Okay, I’m a mooch, but a decent judge of wings. 😋
  19. Well, if you’re doing the wings in your ear, I may have a suggestion for you. But you have to say “please”.
  20. What is white water rafting gear made of? That is some pretty rugged stuff!
  21. You mean, after a rousing game of ski-ball at Dave & Buster’s?
  22. It sounds like the real mismanagement here was pricing all along. You can’t jerk people around like that with DRASTIC price hikes for the same thing! Even if they had unlimited money, they would resent that kind of sudden increase. BTW - Has anyone heard the Bills have a new stadium coming? 😋
