  1. Needed to change an upcoming car rental over to wife's name as I can't make the trip.... Avis: Sure no problem Avis: Oh, that reservation has been prepaid so I can't change the name (had I not already paid she could have) Avis: I can though just cancel this one and create one in your wife's name Me: Fine, will there be price changes, etc? Avis: Possibly, will be based on current prices... (I booked in January...so lol...) Me: Fine, let me know the difference. Avis: I can't Me: Why not Avis: You have to select what kind of vehicle you want.. we have... Me: I want the same thing... everything the same... just in my wife's name Avis: We don't have that vehicle available for those dates Me: But I have one reservered now and you about to cancel it Avis: Yes sir but I can't reserve it if it's not available and once I cancel it, it still won't be available I'll save you the rest of the story... but after another 5-10 minues I still could not get her to understand why I was so frustrated. I don't think she ever understood how stupid the situation she was presenting was. I ended up cancelling and reserving with another company...
  2. I used to travel with just a backpack, but since they won't let you put in overhead I now have a roller bag. Team - leg room matters
  3. Make sure you won't need it for internet either. I'd just unhook, roll up/cut and secure end under the eve in last picture so an installer could always use later if ever needed.
  4. Apparently my genes suck regarding arteries... got my first stent put in on Monday for >80% blockage of LAD artery. Doc said at my age (53), fitness level and weight no reason to have so much blockage. Apparently my years of running masked typical symptoms that should have already shown up. My cancer bout 2 yrs ago cause me to stop running for the year and with loss of endurance was enough to give me early warning when I started running again. Fuck cancer, but this time likely saved me from a much worse outcome. Also... I don't know what getting stent placement looked like 10-20 yrs ago... but now I was awake entire time and had less discomfort, pain and nervousness from the procedure than getting a dental filling. Risk is there I'm sure, but certainly didn't feel like it. As soon as doc finished she showed me before/after play by play video on screen of what she did while I was still laying on the table.
  5. How could this possibly be constitutional at any level?
  6. More meaningful to the players, Olympic champion or WNBA champion?
  7. If you are a top 5 player on the Olympic team, would you rather have hundreds of thousands or tens of millions watch your games? (Numbers arbitrary) She can ride the bench at the 12 spot "resting"
  8. Then people will spend untold hours continuing to talk and debate about women's basketball. Something they won't do otherwise.
  9. I mean... Chelsea Gray hasn't played all year and she's currently on the squad...so there is that possibility.
  10. Turned a likely media frenzy focus on woman's basketball before, during and after the games to. Ehhh.. we only want the best players riding the bench.
  11. Just throwing out as well that more studies showing HIIT can, if used as main exercise, disrupt body rhythms and actually cause weight gain while keeping calories constant. So much info on weight loss not known, but these new drugs seem near 100% as being effective for all. Just another tool in process and one that has potential to really change large number of lives.
  12. add in that FDA allowance for calorie accuracy is within 20%... that's a huge range
  13. They have repair kits, but it's going to be easier and not much more to just replace rather than repair. Plumber can do quick/easy of definitely can DIY if you like. Either way I'd still turn house water off when you go out of town next week just in case.
  14. Been there... this was game changer for us... especially his cleats. All shoes had to be kept in garage/outside... we knew when he took his shoes off upstairs. After a couple weeks of daily use in all shoes it made a noticable difference for us:
  15. Oregon looking for 5th straight 10 win season would suggest they already are and have been.
  16. Galleria...escalator argument...stabbing. No place is safe
  17. IMO It's because of Pepsi only places that Dr Pepper is #2. When you are at a "Pepsi" only place... Dr Pepper is a choice, so all the Coke drinkers needing a cola are going to go for Dr Pepper over Pepsi.
  18. Wait... what?? This remote tribe that hunts and fishes to survive and speaks their own language... suddenly everyone's got smart phones and they are passing around sex clips in "group chat"... and elders worry about first person shooter games? Cmon... this smells like a completely made up story.
  19. Credit to that yellow pole for holding its ground.
  20. No way these can be remotely correct... right?? Maybe no one else has bet yet?
  21. Unless something changes, they aren't employees, there isn't any salary per se. Just more of X for the season or such.
