  1. If you see her again, ask if she was chaperoning a bunch of girls at a Christian retreat center last month.
  2. In case it’s hasn’t been mentioned before. There WILL be a language barrier. Download Google Translate and be prepared to use it. If you are jumping into a taxi without booking it on Uber, better have the address (IN JAPANESE) because the driver most likely doesn’t understand English.
  3. Yelp’s tentacles have reached Japan. You can look up restaurants - a lot of reviews in English. You can also take an Uber. It’s a taxi, with the differences being 1) it gives the address to driver beforehand; 2) there’s a small markup. It’s worth the markup IMO so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes for the driver to input your address into your GPS. The taxis are mostly purpose built Toyotas. Black and large inside for backseat comfort. When you get into a taxi, count how many screens the driver has in front of him/her.
  4. Have you thought about a post retirement job of grocery bagger? You’re not too old.
  5. Steak looks amazing. But dude, spend some time to clean up that Weber.
  6. Sad to see one of my favorite actors look so old and frail. But I guess that’s what 93 looks like. I didn’t see his early films, but he played the villain role so well. And then there was this. Everyone dies, but I’ll be devastated when Gene Hackman dies.
  7. Even my 9 YO knows to put the crushable items - bananas, bread, chips, etc. last on the conveyor belt.
  8. PM me or post the picture here and I’ll see what I can do. @gsoda3 and @Sam Lin might be able to help as well.
  9. Does this the follow up to your other post?
  10. Commenting to the kids last night while the strip steaks were on the skillet. "For a great father's day, a cow must die."
  11. Hey man, it's the only place where I can snort blow in private.
  12. Got sick the last 2 days of vacation, came back and felt like I got hit by a truck. I slowly got better and went back to the office starting Wednesday and felt 90% by Friday. Weekend comes and goes, and now I feel like shit again. Not as bad as last week, but still coughing, hacking, etc. I thought these things were supposed to just last a week.
  13. Not just a woman thing. I thought the same after I consumed a plateful of beets after not having it for several years. I thought my innards were melting because… ebola.
  14. One other thing about Japan are the onsens. It’s their version of a public bath. You sit on a stool and scrub yourself clean, then dip into a hot pool. Do it before you go to bed and you’ll sleep like a baby. My son loved the experience, especially when we sneaked up and dumped cold water on each other.
  15. Did you book the ryokan I suggested above? They offered breakfast and dinner as extras. The food isn’t for everyone, but the prep and presentation was AMAZING!
  16. I don't think his experience "painting houses" is necessarily what I'm looking for.
  17. All of garden
  18. Of course fattie at the end has the biggest bottle of sizzurp.
  19. Doing senile things is better than doing evil.
  20. When I was grade school, one of the girls got sick right before her birthday party. Her parents told us it be rescheduled in 2 weeks after she got better. I'm going to pretend that English was my second language (it is, but by then, I was fluent in English), but 2 weeks later, my dad drives me to her house. Her mom answered the door and asked why I was there. "Uhhh... isn't Natalie having a party?" "Ummm no, she's still sick, we said we'd reschedule AFTER she got better." Thankfully my dad hadn't left yet, and I did the walk of shame back to the car.
  21. Cremate me and grind my bones, then spread my ashes in a Pacific NW forest.
