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

This is more stupid shit husbands do, but don't have a better place to put it, and I really just want to vent. Wife wants to visit her Philippines homeland badly this summer. I've been there and have no urgent desire to go back. Agreed she and the two kids will go. I get a two week vacation at home. Book a flight for the three of them early spring. Prices are sky high, but found a reasonable $1.3K rate. Flights to Asia out of LAX are usually quite late at night. The ticket I got was for July 3 at 00:50 hours. Now, in my stupified mind that somehow translated into leave late night July 3. Day of departure I check the airline to make sure things are on schedule, and realize to my horror that they missed the flight. Call the airlines, hoping they'll be accommodating and just put them on the next flight available. Nope. $450 penalty for missing the flight and must purchase new tickets at full rate. All other options are worse. All in all, this fiasco cost me an additional $4,500 in costs just because I/we misinterpreted the date of departure. Fuck me.

It's actually $5.50/month if you negotiate a little

Accurate or not, they figured that McAfee brings his own eyeballs. Enough to warrant a $17M salary.

I'm an episode behind. Just watched the 59 year old dude who hadn't had any protein since the drop spend all his energy reserves to build a fantastic cabin that would probably last decades. Immediately after completion, he's fried and has to leave the game. Do these people ever learn?

Family goes to Costco pretty much every Sunday after church. Every time as we near the entrance I make my son go fetch a cart, which is on the other side of the entrance/exit. There's too much chaos for the door host to see us together. The other three of us immediately enter the building and flash the card, leaving him alone to walk in with his cart and no card, lol. Hasn't been stopped yet

Cyd from Succession Columbo

Damn. A long time poster says she has a connection to, and is trying to get Sela Ward to attend a tailgate sometime, and it's followed by two pages of simulation debate.

I recall way back in Geopolitics class (one of my favorites), the professor said he could not see the Berlin Wall ever coming down, that the Soviets would never allow it. Literally one year later it was down. Just brought up to say that times change quickly.

Pringles just seems to be Dennis Rodman. Does whatever the fuck feels right to him at the moment. Last night it felt right to march on Moscow. Today, it felt right to turn around. It's probably that simple
