  1. As they say, if you have to explain the joke, it probably wasn't very good. Made me chuckle last night, at least.
  2. Finished Project X. Is Moira trying to give Hardy the Virgil case?
  3. I started this new show, it's about some arse hole detective in Scotland who is investigating a disappearance and monkeys. I think it's called Project X. I'm on the second to last episode and the monkeys have become self aware. Really good.
  4. There is supposed to be more Nets talk in Part 2, as well.
  5. KD was a guest on Mind the game with Steve Nash and Bron. Part 1 dropped this week. Highly recommend for basketball nerds. It's on YouTube. Looking forward to Part 2.
  6. That's what I said at the time. Give it two months. Sorry to say but it just gets more irritating as time goes on and you try to find older stuff on your phone.
  7. I am so sorry that people got murdered but admittedly I laughed out loud. And I'm still laughing.
  8. I'm usually a no sauce no glaze person but I'll definitely make an exception for spares. I know he's persona non grata but I love that stuff that Champ turned me onto, the Texas Pepper Jelly rib candy. Not nearly as spicy as it should be but just enough and some of the flavor combos were fire. Mango habanero and pineapple habanero, delicious. I haven't cooked in a long time, I just talked myself into doing some spares over the Holiday.
  9. I think we need hornian to weigh in here as the inventer of the 3-2-1 method.
  10. Trying to take over for Scooby of the Christian and Scooby duo, no doubt. Google it. Apologies, I'm an NBA junkie with league pass. Look at this vicious monster trying to attack my 12 year old.

    Getting old sucks

    I was worried about that, as well. After trying to put the first one in about 20x and failing the lady said "Well at least you have no problem touching your eyeballs". So I guess I have that going for me, which is...something. Put it on my gravestone when I die.

    I watched her peel the lid off of the separate containers that they came in with R and L so I hope so. And yeah I'm pretty sure they were not in backwards. She showed me how they cup up differently when they're backwards and not only could I see the curvature but I don't think this was her first rodeo. Maybe I'll mess around with them later and try reversing the eyes and the polarization. And can gouge my eyeballs some more.

    Getting old sucks

    Knee is feeling pretty good. I've been pushing it pretty hard in the gym so sometimes it hurts but it's all "good pain". I think... Anyway, I realized my eyesight was going to shit when I basically failed my eye exam getting my real ID (she passed me and told me to get my eyes checked). Went to the eye doctor and yep my eyesight is definitely going to shit. I don't want to have to wear glasses everywhere so I also ordered contacts. They came in and this morning I had contact lens school with someone at the office showing me how to put them in and take them out, etc. The only problem is that everything is massively blurry when I have them in. I was only supposed to wear them 4 hours today and I kept thinking it was my brain and/or it was due to the general eye trauma of sticking my fingers into my eyeballs so much trying to get them in the first time. It never got better.. Something is fucked up. I could hardly read my phone with them in. Close, medium, far... Everything blurry. And yeah I'm sure they were facing the right direction. Not great. I guess I'll try again tomorrow and call the office on Monday if it doesn't get better. Getting old sucks.
  14. There looks to be a decent amount of sargassum on Playa Norte. That isn't great. https://webcamsdemexico.com/webcam/isla-mujeres/
  15. 145 lb Dane. So sweet and docile. They leave her with an e-collar on and access to the doggy door. I get a kick out of seeing people cross the street when she's out. She likes me more than she likes Trixie. Annoying little puppy keeps jumping on me but old guy just rubs my belly and gives me treats type energy.
  16. Got a text from our neighbor. I remember seeing the car but kind of forgot about it. Street View caught Trixie and I visiting Willow.
  17. Atm card or do I have to bring paper weight?
  18. You should go to Gatlinburg.
  19. Yeah the transfer companies were quite clear on that. 😂 It's plastered all over their websites and called out again in bold on the confirmation they sent me..
  20. Gonna need more pics of that hoss.
  21. I think this place is a great resource for someone like you. Describe exactly what you're looking for and I guarantee you that you will have some folks who come through with great advice. You just have to know how to weed your way through it. I don't think a cruise is what you all are looking for. My .02. I will let others recommend what that might be.
  22. I don't think your kids know what they're asking for. Regardless of what approach you take they are not going to have many peers on that boat. Alaska or Europe you are going to have a ton of old people. Domestic you are going to have a trailer park at sea.
  23. Ok making progress on the transfer and car rental front. Carm is setting me up with airport to ferry (plus bottle water for the family and a dos x for me), ferry tickets, pick up from ferry and transport to American car rental at the airport. There is a shuttle from the car rental to take us back to the airport. I booked the car online, I booked the full size with a manual. To my surprise they didn't take a credit card for the reservation. If I pay in advance through the site, am I going to get beaten up with the exchange rate? Speaking of, I recall reading in this thread about not using your cc to pay for stuff on the island. I hate carrying cash. That really my only option? Also not thrilled with the idea of having to stop at a grocery store or bank to pull out a bunch of cash once we land. I don't mind a lazy tax of a few bucks if I can exchange at a bank before I leave, but a couple hundred bucks lazy tax is a bridge too far. What is my best bet?
  24. I upgraded my pixel 8 to the 9 pro a few months back. Something tweaked during the transfer process and my text history did not come over. I did not notice until after I already factory reset the 8. I am doubtful but anyone know of any way to restore that history from the cloud or somewhere?
