    Goddam...now THAT's how a username checks out..!

    Now, I’m thinking you have a problem with “black” beans. The truth reveals itself.

    And you would probably be right. Doesn’t mean it can’t be done or isn’t being done. Do you not Cuban, bro?

    Not weird at all. Made them many times. And I am no lady. Bit of a slut, actually.

    I've done it several times over the years to freshen linens. If you don't feel comfortable combing the two, no worries. The alternative is to do a soak in a vinegar solution, and then wash the items in baking soda after that. Was just trying to save you steps.
  6. After irth
    Run a washer load with 2 to 4 cups of Vinegar and 2 cups of Baking Soda. Double rinse. No soap, no softener. You can launder normally after that if it works.

    Fantastic. Gonna be spending 3 weeks based out of Wapping soon. Wife and I were just looking at the Bermondsey Beer Mile as a good way to spend a day destroying our livers. Nice to know we can score some good Q to help break up all the beer. Gonna have to yell, "Muledick!" when I hit the doorway...

    On one trip, we showed up to find Swig chained and padlocked with a most derogatory statement from the landlord posted on the door. It languished for a while. As last sighting, it had been annexed by the comedy club next to it. Had some interesting times there. Aside from chicks pounding martinis, their brown liquor selection was top-notch, which allowed me to stay and watch more chicks pounding more martinis. Good times...

    Jesus Christ...It's a wonder you're still around. Is it the years? Or the mileage?

    I was there for the June heatwave, and it was quite scenic. Lots of flowing see-thru, lotsa short-shorts, bikini tops, and sweaty cleavage. Thankfully, not ALL exhibitionist sluts are heavy-set. Exceptions do apply, however, especially in the land of "tortilla-butt".

    I was chillin' in a Tampa hotel room years ago, flipping channels, and saw him hanging out with an old buddy of his at his buddy's new Ramen joint. "Gee, I wonder where this is?" Turns out it was in downtown St. Pete. Hit it the next night. Met the owner, told him his episode aired again last night, got a tour of the kitchen, drank some high-end whiskey cocktails. Had an amazing time. Will be there again in a few months when I'm back in Tampa. Name of the place was Buya Ramen, by the way.

    A pre-Madonna, huh?

    Seems like those are harder to find these days, amirite?

    Domingo is great for patioing. Or take the elevator up to the Otro bar and enjoy the view. The Prickly Pear Marg at Boudro’s is highly addictive. Get the table-side Guac and just chill. We have slummed on the patio at Agave Bar, and it’s not bad either.

    You don’t have to shovel heat, though.

    I agree with you that the Marriott website is complete shit, but their app is very easy to use when considering options for travel. It’s like night and day difference in functionality.

    They might be depleting / devaluing / whatever, but so is everyone else. Fuck 'em. We stick with the devil-we-know. We were Starwood people as well. We hated being absorbed into the Marriott Bonvoy bullshitedness. We carried that Starwood card a long time before that Bonvoy "Brilliant" (or whatever the fuck they call it) card showed up. We still primarily stay at Sheratons and Westins, but it truly is nice to have some of the Marriott options, depending on location. Our Brilliant Luxury Amex (or whatever the fuck they call it) has worked for us. We use it only for travel, and we're currently sitting on 998,000 points. We won't make Ambassador this year, due to our Spending, but...Titanium suits us just fine. With or without the card, we are well on our way to Lifetime Platinum, whether we have a card or not. We figure that will suit us well once we hit retirement.

    I had a cold last week as well. Pounded Nyquil and water, went through 3 boxes of tissue, and racked out for the better part of 48 hours. Weird, but I guess germs are everywhere, percolating in this heat just waiting for your grubby little hands to come along.

    Why can't I have both?

    God bless all you lovable Surly assholes. I truly appreciate the great responses and a few very helpful DMs received. Gave me lots of stuff to research and consider. Lotsa talk about sending me to the 'burbs. Not quite what I'm wanting, but I am also not taking anyone's recommendations lightly. Still focusing on Downtown for now. Our #1 pick is The Statler. Kinda hard to top for the amenities, overall. But, thanks to you guys, I also have a much longer list of (seemingly) good options that I did not have before. Will be in Uptown for a long weekend next month. Gonna wander around on foot, use some public transportation, check out a few other options in Uptown and Downtown, and also check out some of the surrounding neighborhoods you guys have recommended. Maybe swill some hooch and hear some Jazz while there. I fully expect it to be douchey, but wanna see it for myself. Grateful for the brain-trust here...just sayin...

    Did two weeks based out of Calistoga in April. Was pleasantly surprised to see it everywhere I went. Tried to drink as much as I could. The death of the Christmas Ale hurts my soul, though. Love that beer. Hell, I'm still pissed that Shiner doesn't make it's original Winter Ale anymore.
  22. After irth
    I will check out those neighborhoods. Thanks! If you don’t mind elaborating, what makes Bishop Arts “adventurous”?

    Low class hookers AND decent blow, Gracie? Well, shit…take my money! Sounds great! Care to elaborate on those areas being “wack as shit”?

    Ideally, at least 1500’. Hopefully under $5k/mo all-in. All depends on floor plans and amenities. Just the two of us, but want a 2/2. One bedroom and one spare room for an office. Not gonna bother with a guest room when downtown hotels abound. Two bathrooms is always nice. Definitely want an above-average kitchen.

    Been living in Lufkin the past 4 years (wife's job). We're not gonna be tied to East Texas anymore, so it's time to move on. Phasing into semi-retirement, looking for something nice to downsize to in a fairly well-amentied urban environment. A simpler life that we can lock up, leave behind, and travel more easily when needed or desired. Less household maintenance responsibilities. Being closer to DFW is more desirable, (we're only 80 miles from IAH right now but 200 from DFW), access to the Symphony, music clubs, shithole Metal bars, fun local joints from food trucks to fine dining, less driving, more walking, maybe cut down to one car. Umm....that's all i got for now.
