  1. Interesting. Park MGM is (was?) dog friendly.
  2. Some gov needs to call Trump out on his notion that he is responsible for sending in the national guard. The state gov calls in the national guard, not the president.
  3. I've closely watched about 10 hours of coverage of the protests/looting/whatever in the past 48 hours. Not once have I seen a flag burning.
  4. There are pool shops and pond shops. Pond shops are better for surlies.
  5. One question for which I can't find the answer, does interest kick in on day 1 or after 12 months? We have done what you say, stashed the $$$ in a money market fund earning 1.3% right now, so the net interest rate is ~2.5%. Must resist temptation to play the market with those funds. Appears to be allowable.
  6. I suppose if you're debt free and have credit facilities that allow you to tap a $150k or greater line, at less than 3.75%, it could be unattractive. I believe the language excludes the use of the funds to buy a building.
  7. Third party sellers are running a scam where they generate a shipping label as soon as you order, even though they don't have the items in stock, and probably don't have any idea when it will be in stock. That way they can bill you, claiming the order shipped. Then it has to be delayed well beyond the originally estimated ship date before you can get a refund. All the while holding onto your $$$ and earning 20%.
  8. LATAM just declared chapter 11. That ought to make flying to/from S. America a lot more challenging.
  9. I knew the guy who got killed at Gatti’s on MLK back in the 80’s... yeah I’m old. He worked there part time and some dumbass kid went in to rob the place at closing ended up killing him IIRC. We lived in the same dorm and had the same taste in music. He had a bunch of albums which he was totally cool about recording cassettes for me. Couple years after, I was playing one of the tapes back home and told my buddy ‘yeah the guy who made me this tape was killed.’ At that very second, the tape skipped. It had never skipped before or after. The song? Dirty Deeds by AC/DC.
  10. I've noticed the same, even in the 2006 champ game. There are several hits from both sides that would be penalties if not ejections today.
  11. https://www.venetian.com/offers/share-the-love/get-love-offer.html Venetian offering free night to essential workers. The list of qualified essential workers is quite extensive. I bet they don't vet guests very hard on that. They just want people in the casino, restaurants and shops. https://www.venetian.com/offers/share-the-love/essential-community-heroes.html
  12. 13k+ posts and THIS is what it took for you to figure out you're hanging with the right crowd???
  13. Just to close this out, asked for the full $150k on 5/14. Got email on 5/17 late at night saying it had been approved. Docusigned the app on 5/18 first thing in the am. Got $149,900 in the bank account today 5/19. Don't recall seeing anything about a $100 fee and really not going to try too hard to figure that out.
  14. That's basically what we're doing. I don't see why the pay periods have to line up with the expenditure of the funds. In the end, I think all you have to do is say "I spent $x on payroll, and here's when."
  15. Took a quick look and didn't see any gotchas. Anyone see anything unexpected?
  16. I only see gray, light gray and dark gray.
  17. Got the EIDL email earlier today, seemed too easy and too good to be true. Slider maxed at $150k, answered a couple questions and done. Has anyone been denied after reaching this point?
  18. Who the heck eats at table games?
  19. Dollars to donuts says Karen called the cops on this one.
  20. I'm sure his password is OUsucks!
  21. Thanks! That was the confusing part which I neglected to include in my post. Neither the new bank nor Wells made any mention of an SBA number or an SBA loan number, which I remember from upthread. Just the "e tran" number which prevented us from applying with another bank. Meanwhile, we have colleagues who are applying to 2 or 3 banks (including Wells) without being stopped. You know all the days just seem the same to me. Last week, 2 weeks ago, last month, all seem like a year ago
  22. I seem to remember this being discussed earlier in the thread, but things seem to be changing every day, so throwing this out now. Right after the 2nd round of funding was approved for PPP, we submitted an app to Wells. So like 3-4 weeks ago. Wells go silent, just sending us the same form email every day until last Friday. Last Weds, we attempt to apply with another, smaller bank "community development bank" by their own description. We fully disclose that we have a pending app with Wells. They are great with respect to customer service. Their online app is kinda...shitty...so we have to email in a bunch of docs that were supposed to be uploaded, skip certain parts of the online app, etc. New bank comes back on Thu and says they cannot send in our request because SBA has already assigned an "e tran" number which prevents us from applying with any other institution. On Saturday, we get an email from Wells with an actual loan doc for the amount calculated in the initial Wells app. We fill out and submit, sign via docusign. Anyone have any idea where we really stand?
  23. I wouldn’t put it past GWB to have baited Trump into a comment like that.
