  1. Goodbye to my stepdog Louise aka Weezy aka Weezers. Love this girl. My boy loved her just as much. We were the only family crazy enough to take her in when our friends would vacation. Hell we hated giving her back when they came home. Only 2.5. She started having seizures about a year ago and they kept clustering and happening more and more frequently. She was dosed up on phenobarbital and everything else but nothing could stop them. Her quality of life grew too poor to allow her to keep suffering after another mega cluster today that would subside for an hour and then repeat. Her Dad is unfortunately overseas currently so my wife had to be emotional support at the ER. Yet I am the one crying. I hate having to say goodbye to these creatures so much. There are worse things in life I just can't currently think of any. Devastated for her family. RIP Weezy.
  2. I didn't realize that liking The Imperial Palace was an option. Though I did once throw a shoe off of a balcony there into the pool at Harrah's next door.
  3. Probably will surprise absolutely none of you that I have a Scooby Doo tattoo. I got it when I was 16 in Daytona Beach. It has aged wonderfully. Anyway, I agree, fuck Scrappy.
  4. First thing handed to me when I crossed the finish line for my marathon was a beer by event organizers. Best beer I've ever had in my life. This was Chicago so ymmv.
  5. @Francisco 2.0 I think I mentioned upthread. Check out Marin Deck. It skins Tweetdeck to make it mobile-friendly. It's not perfect but it's better than Twitter.
  6. Maybe some nice cooking/BBQ stuff? Solo stove? Ooni? Wsm?
  7. Count me as one of those who will probably be done if they truly cut off 3rd party APIs. I don't like the interface on the native app. Talon and Tweetcaster both went down. Tweetdeck still works great on desktop but it's not great on a mobile browser and I'm on desktop less and less these days. I did find an app that seems to skin tweetdeck better for mobile for the time being (Marin Deck) so I guess that will work for now.
  8. They are so far and few in between that I shall also use this thread to celebrate good commercials. Hulu's new promo with the Bear reference. "Are you watching the Bear without me?" I'll leave it at that but I LOL'd.
  9. So we're really trying to do The Heights again 20 years later with a 50 year old Jamie Walters/Ray Pruitt? Man I fully bought into this being a mob show, not a promo for an acoustic guitar heartthrob's new release on Spotify. How times have changed but they really haven't. How do you talk to an Angel?
  10. Same issue with Powerbeat Pros. Fucking annoying. I've learned to press them back into the case before I take them out to put them on to make sure the white light is on and not the red, but if it's the red then I'm still SOL because I'm ready to leave to go somewhere I intend to wear them and now I have to wait 30 minutes for them to charge. That's an impressive sentence.
  11. It's not the bourbon. It's the stuff you eat after the bourbon. Add 30 min of moderately intense cardio and keep drinkin. Sorry not sorry to be an enabler
  12. Zeroing in on two separate Maui stays with a short jaunt to Oahu in between. Looking like Papakea for the first part and I'm looking at Honua Kai for segment two. Anyone familiar with Honua Kai?
  13. The padlocks on the trash cans is a nice touch in the latest installment of becoming your parents.
  14. Starting to poke around at accomodations. I have a solid lead from a friend but thought I might ask here, as well. Ideally would like an independently rented (VRBO or Airbnb) 2 bedroom villa/condo in a resort with beach access. Papakea is where they stayed and it looks pretty good. If anyone has any recs on either specific properties or general locations, would love to hear them. Kids 10, 13 We will swim in a pool more than the ocean but ocean front is nice No golf
  15. Additional random opinions that don't need to be shared but I'm on a roll. I don't like Chiklis. Obviously I don't like his character but I just don't like him as an actor. He always seems so typecast and forced. I thought he played a good asshole as Herc with an ounce of empathy but since then he's just always an asshole with a bad accent. His underboss is Chandler Bing's younger cousin who got beat up a lot in grade school. I also appreciated the appearance of Archie Manning to instruct Dwight on how he was hip to his game.
  16. Yeah. I really like it, but the plot is advancing suspiciously quickly and it is becoming more reliant on shootouts and such. They aren't spending as much time developing characters and storylines as they did in the first few episodes. It's funny because a lot of people complain about things like the above in lieu of more action, and I'm a 90s action movie buff but in a show today I really like all of that development. I do really like Tyson's character and I'm gonna be pissed if he gets dead. I also like Teller (I think that's his name, the bar owner). Hell I even like Bodhi and Amber had a nice little moment in this last episode. Hopefully Dwight gets a cell next to Kurt Russell's.
  17. I grew a set and pulled the trigger last night. 4 R/T nonstop fares on SWA (I know) PHX > OGG in late Summer. 164k miles transferred over from Chase. I booked the DTW > PHX fares on my Delta Amex as they were pretty reasonable and also direct. I guess I will be taking my talents to the Maui thread. Thank you guys for helping me out.
  18. I have to say, you gotta give ROFLBOX at least some credit for jumping back into the thread and coming with fire. That said I am awaiting a response from BtR and VR before I issue a ruling.
  19. No pinch collar. Halti/gentle leader Had a 120 lb malamute and a 115 Greater Swiss. Halti/Gentle Leader
  20. I don't believe you all. Why would Gronk want that insurance so bad if it's shit?
  21. Come on now. Shurly has crowdsourced mfers for less when it comes to a dog. Of course we went to know about the dog.
  22. I like em. I've been sleeping with a box fan bedside since college if not before. The whole app/case/charging thing isn't great but it sounds like those things may be addressed when the 3s come out and those are minor inconveniences for my personal situation.
