We keep excess cash at Barclay’s and transfer chunks in or out as needed. I haven’t looked at the current rates, but figure the rising tide will raise all ships, to some degree. We haven’t done anything different regarding credit cards. Chase Sapphire is the daily use card. When we moved about a year ago we wanted to just pay for the house with cash. That has an enormous appeal to it. But we listened to the less emotional advisors around us and took a modest mortgage. That 30 year loan under 3% is looking pretty attractive right now. As someone recently said to me, not everybody loves their house, but a lot of people in recent years are LOVING their mortgage!

Publix OWNS Sarasota, and pretty much every surrounding market. They are located about every 2 miles in any direction. They want to be sure nobody can break into “their turf”. Publix is like a Hampton Inn to me. They will never “WOW” you, but they don’t disappoint, either. They are NOT cheap, however. When I realized I could get fish and other stuff cheaper at Whole Foods, that was eye opening. Kroger, on the other hand, has big swings in store quality. Some are fabulous, better than any Publix I’ve seen. Others, like the one closest to me, are dumps, and the calibre of staff is noticeably different. Pay those people and maybe throw in some dental insurance. So, the Orlando airport has something in common with The Ralph! I live in Atlanta, and I wish I could fly out of almost anywhere else. The crowds, especially trying to get thru security, can be INSANE. Getting around is easy enough once you get inside, but getting in is a serious hassle. Even parking in ATL is a pain. The North and South garages are often full, so you have to build in more time in case you need to use the new(er) West garage and take the sky train in. Not difficult, but it will take more time if you have to use it.

DHopkins would cost a 2nd round pick...would you do it?

We should just make this deal for #27 with a two year extension. I think the riot that would ensue might be even more fiery and amusing! 😋 -
Oh, how I wish we had a Wegmans near us. Is that a strange thing to wish for? I’m in a grocery store 5-6 days a week.

And then you’ll have to be the highest bidder, but could it POSSIBLY be worse than his current contract? Why give up a significant draft pick, unless it’s been negotiated on all three sides and everybody is content? -
But you have “Unlimited Salad and Breadsticks”, right?

We might not want to make any shopping cart jokes. I think @HOUSE is living out of his. Please tread gently.

Oddly, I pride myself on being a net positive on cart return. I’ll grab one in the corral for a test drive in, or better yet find someone who just finished emptying it and offering to save them the trip or the guilt of a less than ideal disposal. That always gets a warm thank you. EDIT: I just realized the article was about moral character. Never mind. I’m screwed there! 😂

That is very kind and generous of you to protect the jobs of those simply working hard to feed their families. Bravo to you, sir! You might want to elevate to spilling everything on the canned vegetable aisle onto the floor. They will have to hire more staff and feed more children.

A Zaxby’s opened about a mile from us maybe 5 years ago. I eat out A LOT (like lunch daily) yet I’ve never been in any Zaxby’s, even the one right up the road. Anyone have opinions on Zaxby’s? I guess I should try it. 🤷♂️ I’ve never even heard of Raising Cane’s, so I guess they are not around here. -

Well, better to be locked IN than OUT in that case! It’s Sunday. We will go hungry. 🤷♂️ -

I don’t understand how people can have an opinion without knowing the financial side of things. Are we paying what is due on his contract? No thank you. How much can we get his cap number down? How much will the Cardinals pay? What does a restructure look like? Only then can I determine how I feel about it. -

I bet he wouldn’t complain about fewer double coverages. -
Nothing like that Belly Buster Burrito before jumping on a long flight!

BUT…….can you paint the fence??? 😋

I was never a guacamole fan. I don’t mind avocado (my wife hates the texture), but it was never my thing. It did nothing for me. Then we went to Las Vegas and stayed a few days with some old friends from our time in Florida. They live there full time now, and took us to lunch after picking us up at the airport. We turned right out of the airport and did not go too far before pulling into a hotel/resort on the left. They ordered guacamole at the Mexican restaurant in this place. Made table-side, and it was the best ever. Have you ever seen that thing where it’s either a princess or a hag? A light switch flipped and I learned I only like GOOD guacamole! Unfortunately, I rarely find that. It was like if there was only ONE good place to have great wings!

He must enjoy it on some level. -

Look who you are going back and forth with. Our village is there for him. We take turns. It will be OK. -
More? It seems anything would be an improvement! But I’m happy if you all are happy. 😋

I had never seen the chart in that tweet before. That is INSANE! 😂

While working in real estate a guy with a carpet cleaning business spoke at our sales meeting one day. Beneath every chair was a spray bottle full of alcohol. He explained that the carpet cleaning/stain removing sprays you use make the fabric crusty (it does) and leaves a residue that attracts future dirt. I’ve used it ever since as our go to spot remover and it’s better than anything else I’ve ever tried.

There you go again. I mean, you see what you are doing, right?

I think you may be mistaken. They are not banning fans, but doing a Covid reenactment. It’s nostalgia, right?
