want to see wizard of oz in it

Is it true that it’s $175 a ticket? I would love to see it but that’s steep.

I had to swear off Duang Tawan because we went in not knowing what to expect and the place was just like someone’s messy and slightly musty old house. We just ordered pad Thai so while it was good it was nothing earth shattering. Finally convinced my husband to go back and now we are obsessed. I could live off of their Panang.

I’m happy to see the J Alexander love. I usually get downvoted when I recommend it but I think people just think it’s a chain restaurant at the mall type of thing and it’s really so much better than that. That spinach queso hits every time.

Great thread. 10/10

I have a few thoughts.

One, I think she definitely fell or jumped. I lean with an accidental fall because the only thing missing were her cigarettes and lighter. Why jump with those?

The dad said the balcony door was open a foot or two. If you have ever been on a cruise and had a balcony room, you know what happens when you try opening the door to leave the room. It creates a major vacuum with a ton of win and noise. No way all 3 of them would have slept through that.

I don’t buy these statements of fact that she would have washed ashore because of the proximity to land and the currents. That’s probably the most likely scenario but in no way is that guaranteed. People have drowned near the shoreline because of rip currents and never been found and they were WAY closer to land than she would have been.

Yellow was made out to be a womanizer and jerk but he sounded very believable on that phone call, IMO.

And finally, I think the message in a bottle was a huge foreshadowing to what she was thinking about doing. If she got back with the girlfriend she may have never done it (if you go with the jumping theory).

ETA: I’ve seen a LOT on the internet about the cruise director and how horrible he was. I didn’t get that AT ALL. I think he was very logical and spoke like someone responsible for 2500 people on a cruise. When family reported her missing it had only been 30 minutes. It’s impossible to search an entire ship in that time, especially if the missing person is moving around. I’ve spent hours trying to find people on a cruise before FINALLY spotting someone. I know it wasn’t crowded at that time but you have so many floors and the thing is 1000 ft long and the person may not be staying in place. There’s no way they could do anything at that time and if she got off at port she would have scanned and they would know. I don’t think the cruise line did anything wrong.

Dang, we could literally see etch while eating at Brick Tops. Almost went there but the prices were so much higher. Lesson learned.

Also, the night we went to Rutledge we picked that over Hampton Social. Lol

We ended up going to The Rutledge and it was really disappointing. The service was absolutely awful. Food was mid at best and it ended up being the most expensive meal we had here. I guess it’s a trade off when you stay in this area and don’t want to drive or Uber to other parts of the city. Had a fun time in Broadway after to make up for it. Lol

Does Costco still not have a scan and go like feature? It’s the entire reason I have stayed with Sam’s because being able to scan my items as a I shop and pay as I am walking out the door is the best. It really doesn’t matter how crowded it is now because I can maneuver around people, what I couldn’t do before was get past the long arse lines to checkout.

Yes, I do. I live literally down the same street that takes you downtown in Baton Rouge.

I drove by there just a couple of weeks ago. There isn’t another 50 ft to go up. It’s not a mountain.

I love some good quality all beef franks put in a frying pan with a thin layer of water. Put on medium to medium high and get water boiling. The fat from the hotdog comes out in the water and once the water is evaporated the skin quickly crisps up.

At the end of the day I’m topping with chili (either Hormel no beans or homemade) and cheese so I suppose it doesn’t matter how you cook the dog.
