I could type a whole bunch of crap advice, but it would all boil down to: you've pretty much done your job. You've raised her to college graduation. Now, it's up to her to figure things out. You gotta let her go, so to speak. Give her some space to think, and enjoy the time you have with her living in your house. Give her advice when asked, and your unsolicited opinion when you think she's off track, but let it lie at that. If she continues off track and burns her hand, she'll remember you advised against it.

Yeah, but something is making Disney uncomfortable. I don't follow this stuff closely, but I'm guessing Disney's finance department is forecasting icebergs ahead. Why else would Iger be talking about a strategic partner, and ESPN refusing to compensate SEC for an extra conference game? Seems like there's blood in the water, and Fox is all over it.

My son's friend works at fast-food chain Habit Burger, they have the ipad tip thing. He estimates about 60% of people tip. He also admits to staring intently at customers while they decide what to tip.

I'll never forget a quite wealthy businessman owner I was a customer of, unironically lamenting flying into Aspen first class at peak season, and feeling inadequate seeing all those private jets at the airport.

One of my favorite scenes of any film is the Duke's Rooster mopping up the stew remnants with his bread before breaking out his jug and taking a healthy swig, and starting a card game with Mr. Chin. Bridges is one of my favorite actors, but the scene where Rooster explains his ex-wife and son was pretty much word for word in both movies, and the Duke was on another level.

I don't see the connection at all. How will they be cut off from SoCal? Living here, and having a son who's about to apply and get rejected from the local UC schools (I've prepped him to expect CC for first two years even though he's straight As at JSerra), there will always be a place for an ASU CA campus. Apologies, I shouldn't have reacted so strongly. I went to grad school at ASU in the 90s and have an affinity for it.

You went from unhappy to begging for a BIG invite. You must be a moron, then.

You're talking out of your ass. The AD is probably taking a cue from his boss, who seems to be inherently out of his element. But how to get from them not being excited that their conference imploded to publicly begging the BIG for an invite? Other than your overly stimulated imagination.

One of the better ones I've seen

My opinion, and it's only my opinion, is that UA was willing to move. That's it.

I see what you did there

Just curious, aren't those rooms going for five figures? You think it will be that much of a cluster fuck?

Yeah, they credited back the original rate minus the penalty. New tickets ~8K vs. original ~4K
