[quote]So I guess I need to get some sort of insurance [/quote] A friend, who travels abroad frequently, recommended Squaremouth (odd name, I know) to compare travel insurance options. We used it to buy a policy from a Berkshire Hathaway Co. for a trip to Europe this summer. As far as I kno...

Yes, technically. We were in Poland with a group this summer and spent 2 or 3 nights in Zakopane which is very near the Slovakia border. One of our planned events was rained out so we drove to the border and walked into Slovakia. Below is a link to my Poland trip report and if you scroll down to...

[quote]Day 3: This is a little bit of guessing. We're going to Buffalo, WY and will spend the night. The strategy is that on Day 4, we'll take a slow drive through the Black Hills... Day 4: Spend the day in the Black Hills, view Mt Rushmore, etc, and end up in Rapid City, SD for the night. [/q...

You might research Nevada lemon laws and while that may not apply maybe it will give you a link to something that would. The salesman we talked to was very low key but somehow we convinced ourselves that we wanted to own the property. We went to the site visit just to get a couple of free nights...

We bought one in Myrtle Beach; they kept adding HH points and we convinced ourselves that buying it would fit w/ our plans to travel. Even though “our property” would be in MB, we could stay at any of their locations. We came home and I did research and decided we had made a mistake. SC has a 3...

Tell your wife not to bring her curling iron and other hair tools. Even with voltage converters they will get fried. Buy them in Europe 2nd this; my wife fried her’s when we were in Poland this year....

My wife & I did the Global Entry interview when we returned from Europe in June. We went through the regular custom line and told the agent we wanted to do the interview. They sent us to another agent. There was one person ahead of us; we had to wait about 10 minutes. The “interview” took 10-15 mi...

I like Vancouver a lot; the people are courteous for the most part, the food is good and there are a lot of thi...

Ordered the seat from a place in Houston. That was ~$200 and a local car interior shop put it on for $60. I did not replace the foam; that would have been another $200 or so. It is leather with the holes for the AC. There is a YouTube video that explains in detail how to replace the seat cov...

I have a 2011 F 150 Ecoboost; 160,000 miles. Have had no issues; moonroof does not leak but I have not used it a lot. I was told when I bought it that it was designed to get good mileage and have the ability to tow boats, etc. I have not towed anything except a riding lawn mower. Hwy mileage i...

I thought it was the juxtaposition of his biological son (physically flawed but morally strong) with his “surrogate” son Jesse (physically strong but morally weak). It seemed to me that Walter desperately wanted Jesse to do things right but he kept screwing up. That is not an uncommon situation...

[quote]This is a weird thread. [/quote] I probably would have agreed w/ this before my sister died a few years ago and BIL was dating again within about 3 months. My other sister, my wife, her friends all thought that was terrible AND I was guilty by association cause I wasn’t as offended as the...
