Got 2 dollars less than the Community Chest card in Monopoly.

I should have gotten a paper check mailed to me instead of getting it direct deposited. Might be enough for a lunch.

Board at 7:45 so thinking if we get there are 6:30 we should be good.


Just depends on AM or PM.

I am flying to Vegas right now and got to the airport at 6:15 pm. Made it to the gate for 6:30 pm with Precheck and Clear. Flight left at 8:19 pm.


Didn’t know this until about an hour ago. Air Force One is at LAS for the night.

Every once in awhile I have a hankering for an RC Cola.


Yes.

I remember telling my parents to buy them because they were cheaper. But the caps were terrible metal caps that always let the drinks get flat.

Wait, why is this a bad thing? A public broadcasting station that relies on funding gets $113M in funding from private sources. That is amazing the govt doesn’t have to support them anymore. If you don’t like the message they are sharing, there are other news stations you can listen to so I don’t get why this is a bad thing.


What is the difference if commercial stations get billions in advertising revenue.

All seem to have a bias.
Update:

I got to the airport at 6:15 after parking in Economy parking.

Regular TSA was near empty. Still used my Clear which still needed to be setup. Was a breeze to get in and just had to go through a metal detector and kept everything in my carry on. I was at the gate by 6:30. Ate a 15 dollar Lucky Dog as supper.
Could I bring a torch and light the place on fire.

That is the only way I go in there is after it burns down.

Here is another one:

Damn...I was just joking about 10K last week.

quote:

Sounds like the good Catholics know their pope is an idiot


People used to say that when John F. Kennedy was elected some were concerned that the ideas and ideals of the papalcy would be in the White House.

Now you have a President that is going 180 from what the Pope says and people are siding with the Pope.

And isn't Spirit supposedly no cheaper than most other airlines once you add in all the nickel and diming they do for bags and other things?


Three years ago. I booked a round trip ticket to Vegas for about 120 dollars, but once I added the bag fees and other addons like sitting in the big seats or exit row, I ended up paying 230-250, and one flight didn't have wifi which was extra too.

This year I booked with Breeze, and I paid 320 round trip and got to choose the extra legroom seats and have a carry on and a checked bag. Plus I can make changes or cancel the flight for credit. With the Breeze package I have, I have free wifi.

People think I am nuts because I always get there 2 hours early. I don't mind, you never know what can go wrong. Forget your passport, flat tire, unexpected traffic whatever

But 3 hours for MSY is nuts now. There is nothing to worry about. You will get through in less than 10 minutes, probably less than 5 with precheck and clear


Duely noted:

I will probably get there a little later then. I am parking in the economy garage though. So I have to account for that wait time to be picked up by the bus to get back to the airport.

My return flight is even nuttier as far as a wait time. I fly back at midnight from Vegas on Sunday night, so I will return my car rental about 6 or 8, and then wait for the flight at the airport. At least Vegas has some entertainment to keep you busy while waiting.
I fly out tonight.

I will let you know. But judging by other posters here. I should be good.

Flight boards at 8 pm.

I still plan on getting my arse to MSY at 5 pm and breeze through with precheck and Clear.

Hedgefund CEO who can buy $238 million penthouse on the side isnt going to melt over a “tax”.


He may own that penthouse, but the CEO claims residency in a state like Florida where he has an even larger house that is a third of the price and has operations in a low tax state like Texas.

The penthouse is just a prize that he uses few times a year and lets his family or special clients stay there instead of staying at a hotel or if a kid is going to college in New York City.

Only tax he pays is property taxes and sales tax when he spends money for things in NYC. He cannot work there because NYC and NY State have some squirrelly laws that tax work like athletes are taxed if they spend one day there.

I remember Rush bitching about that anytime he hosted a show from the NYC studios instead of his home base in Florida.

This might be a long shot, but what about Robert’s retiring.

Most Chief Justices average about 20 years, and Roberts is nearing that mark.

But Roberts wouldn’t let Trump have that chance to leave a mark on the judiciary with a Chief Justice pick.

Want to take the temperature of the room


Grab a thermometer and shove it in your arse.

Fun fact a rectal thermometer is the most accurate way to take your temperature.

Just don’t put it your mouth afterwards.
