[quote] Just clean up your diet and you don't even have to wipe.[/quote] He's not wrong. I've been taking psyllium fiber for a few years and I very rarely have to wipe. I definitely give it a wipe every time just in case, but 9.5 out of 10 times it's a no wiper....

re: Trager or Pitboss

[quote]A kamado smokes much better than a pellet, and only requires a little extra work while smoking meat.[/quote] I disagree. I've had a large BGE for probably 15 years and just got a Traeger a few years ago(it was free). I can have a butt on a Traeger in ~15 or so minutes. To get a cerami...
[quote]1-3 years old? Blow my brains out. [/quote] Can confirm. Took our almost 3 year old and 7 year old at the time to France for 2 weeks. He did relatively well overall, but it was just a lot and there were definitely moments of....I'm never doing this again, especially on the flights when h...
[quote]I wouldn’t say quality has dropped, just that there’s more bad stuff put out with more streaming content.[/quote] I think this is very true. There are still some incredible shows being made, but with the amount of streaming sites on top of cable tv, there's just so much to wade through. ...
[quote]A friend of mine went and sent me a video this afternoon. Pretty incredible scene.[/quote] There's a bunch of videos from all 4 nights on youtube now. Had some friends that went to Thurs show and said it was incredible. It was a different experience for sure, but said it was a complete...
[quote]If he loses they all died in vain. Although I suppose if he lost they were all going to kill themselves anyway.[/quote] That's the point. They went out on their own accord. If it didn't work, they were gonna get killed anyway. If it does work, they'll be remembered as heroes to the caus...
[quote]We consolidated everything and just discuss purchases above “reasonable” threshold. That way we have full visibility into joint credit card, checking/savings, retirement savings, brokerage, taxes, etc. I know acquaintances that do separate accounts and have heard them say phrases like “my ...

Your guy could always just throw caution to the wind and try to use his expired one. Went to Costa Rica last December with a big group of friends and one of the ladies not only forgot her wallet at home(so no license/ID), but also didn't realize until we got through Customs in Costa Rica that her...
[quote]People hate cleaning fees. I don't know why it chaps his arse so bad, I was simply explaining that its a hell of a lot more than washing the sheets and running the dishes.[/quote] It's not that people hate cleaning fees, it's that it seems that more and more rentals are asking people to do...

re: Summer Trip to Italy Question

[quote]We hired a driver to take us to Pompeii and then Positano. Worth the price.[/quote] Absolutely. We had a driver take us from Massa Lubrense to Pompeii and back. Completely worth it. We actually had a driver wherever we went, so if you're using airbnb or something like that, the host...
Stayed at the Venetian on our way to Utah for spring break the week before last and had a direct view of that thing. It's wild. Should be amazing. I have some friends that are going, but couldn't make that turnaround after being on spring break with the family for a week right before it. I've ...
I had to listen through a few times but I'm really liking it. It definitely has some of their earlier elements in it. It almost feels like they took some elements of Modern Vampires and Father of the Bride and mashed some earlier stuff in there with them, yet, it still feels pretty new....
[quote]i thought it KAH-pree[/quote] When I was there last summer, that's how I was told it was pronounced multiple times. We didn't go to KAH pree as we were told it was going to be miserably packed. I've heard the same from others in summer time. We stayed on the northern part of the p...
Can we please get back to a darker orange? I haven't bought any official gear in years because we now have traffic cone orange on everything....

re: Screened porch vs BG Egg

Posted by CharlieTiger on 3/26/24 at 12:56 pm
I stayed in a rental last Thanksgiving that had a BGE on a screened in porch. They had the egg right up on the edge with a box fan hanging over it blowing outward. I don't know if it would work for heavy, billowing smoke, but it worked for the turkey we smoked. Not sure if you want a big box fa...

[quote]I guess it just depends on your cost and how much you use it. We have Aetna through my work and pay $17 per month. It covers two cleanings/x-rays per year and has a $50 deductible per person ($150 max for a family of four). Covers 80% on fillings and such and 50% on crowns, root canals, etc. ...
fwiw, that quote from Garcia was from the early 90's. Not that it makes it any more or less correct, but rap was really kind of just out of it's infancy there, and it hadn't really branched out into what it eventually evolved into. Up to the end of the 80's most commercial rap was just beats and r...
[quote]ATL is just busy[/quote] It's incredibly efficient for the worlds busiest airport. You may have a walk a little ways once you get to your terminal, but the layout is great and you can get from one end to the other in about 5 minutes on the plane train....

re: 33 Minute Layover

Posted by CharlieTiger on 3/19/24 at 11:08 am
You may be better off driving to Atlanta/Bham/Nashville and seeing if they have direct flights. 33 minutes is doable, but it's cutting it close. I avoid connecting flights if at all possible....
My company has been pretty much set at a 3% annual raise(unless you've done something to not deserve that), but they make up for it in the annual incentive. We can get up to 25% of total salary and they've gone 125% of that in 2021, 22 and 115% for '23. It works out better than getting a better an...
