re: The Diplomat- Season 4

Posted by 10tiger on 10/22/26 at 8:21 pm to
Just finished. I’d kill for another episode. I can’t get enough of this show, this may be my favorite season yet.
I honestly think to me, the bigger question is it’s 2026, we are the most freely mobile society there has ever been. People live and work abroad everywhere. Why is it so difficult for a bank to facilitate obtaining cash in the developed western world outside the US.? I understand the discover issue and that makes it even worse because capital one is huge. Do they not care about their customer’s convenience and accessing their money at all?
I am so done with them. There is no more notifying you’re traveling yet can’t access abroad. This is the 3rd trip where I have tried to use the card in an ATM and this time it actually ate my card! Thankfully the bank was open and I had other options but I am still livid. I called Capital One and their excuse is maybe you used the wrong type of ATM. They have a network and I tried one outside of that network. Well, there aren’t many options in the area of Turkey I was traveling. It’s 2026. If We can’t figure out someone actively using a card with an accurate PIN number isn’t fraud I don’t know what to say. (Still very heated about this topic if you can’t tell lol)

Got through episode 1 today. I forgot how much I really enjoy this show. It’s very well done.

Anyone start yet? On Netflix. Going to start this week but need to be able to devote full attention.

Haven’t really gotten that far as we haven’t narrowed down a location. Presumed we would likely be flying and renting cars as we are all in the south

They are in decent shape but he would be much more inclined to walk 18 holes than hike a trail. May be onto something with the Carolinas. Thanks for the input so far!

Multigeneration family trip

Posted by 10tiger on 10/12/26 at 10:49 am
Looking for advice on a family trip. Would be grandparents who are mid 60s, us two kids and spouses and 5 children ages 4-10. Younger gens are outdoorsy but want to make sure our parents have fun too (they are still young but not big hikers). Would be a week anywhere in US and are open to all ideas. Any memorable family trips or pros/cons of different areas? We are thinking one of the national parks (Bozeman/yellowstone, badlands, Acadia) but haven’t really ruled out anything other than Disney lol. Thanks in advance.

You’re right and I did. They stick to each other so it wasn’t bad and actually occupied her longer than I thought. Also took up no space in the bag so actually proud of myself for that one!

Flew with ours internationally twice, domestic twice. First international was 13 mo, second was 3.5 and was night and day. 13 mo was absolutely brutal. 3.5 I think she was less restless than I was. Not a screen time kid which helped because it was a treat during the flight. Snacks, snacks and more snacks. When you think you have enough pack more. Water/milk they get dehydrated easily up there. 13 mo I bought a bunch of multi color page tabs in a dispenser and she pulled those and stuck them everywhere. Painters tape as well. Easy to clean up at landing. It’s hard to reason with them young but get them used to travel and they do so well later. 3.5 we did colors bluey water draw tablets and sticker books. Let them run at the airport when appropriate to get the energy out. Also try to relax. Easier said than done but I believe they can sense the tension and double down lol

re: Best site for flights

Second the direct from the airline. Maybe it’s ok for domestic but I got burned with a third party travel website when a leg was cancelled and they tried to bump us 4 days later because that was the next flight they had available. While I would have loved to stay in Greece another 4 days, job, school, work made it not possible. I do look around on google flights to get an idea of costs and airline options before heading to the airline website though.
I would also make sure you get a home sleep study to make sure you don’t have a little sleep apnea. Low T, daytime sleepiness, restless sleep can all be sleep apnea. I know you’re thin but it occurs in thin people too.

re: Need help with my dog.

Posted by 10tiger on 10/5/26 at 9:16 pm to
This will sound crazy but Prozac. Similar issue with my dog (pointer/lab mix) was getting bald spots around his snout and eyes, flakey skin, paws red from licking and scratching. Ears were always infected and he smelled horrible. Did antibiotics, steroids, special baths, special food, apoquel. Finally went away on its own and was then seasonal for a few years. We had a baby, he got really anxious and vet put him on dog Prozac. She even mentioned that it may help his licking/scratching and it has. Hasn’t had any issues since and we don’t even have to do cytopoint anymore. Coincidence? Maybe. But it is way cheaper than the next step which was dog dermatologist so I’ll take it.

Not the GE cafe for dang sure. Lost three screws out the freezer drawer the first week. Have to do a magic trick to keep it closed tight. To give them benefit of the doubt we bought it in 2022 so the Covid shortages and supply chain was full swing but it is an absolute POS.
The sad thing is it’s an easy fix. Collect and deport. Obviously they don’t have gainful employment which is likely a part of their immigration agreement. Hell even if they came in under refugee visa, scamming is illegal, deport them. It’s astounding to me that a continent rich with so much history spanning so many centuries is literally just rolling over and letting history repeat itself. You’d think the locals would get tired of it and give these woke politicians hell. And to the globalist politicians … what is end game here? Do they think things are going well?

I wear one and like it a lot. I work in sleep medicine, I like that it gives clues into sleep disordered breathing. The sleep tracking is about as accurate as you’ll get without formal sleep study. Occasionally it’s off but mostly does a good job. It tracks body temp which is cool but my favorite is I think it does a really good job of tracking heart rate for work outs. I’m not a big jewelry person or into much tech (don’t like Apple Watch etc) so it’s been really nice to have something very low profile that does a good job. As a previous poster said it anticipates sickness which is crazy. Also I would spring for the newest. It’s really small in comparison to the older gen that I have. Overall good product.

re: Best garage gym mats?

Posted by 10tiger on 8/31/26 at 4:11 am to
Checking in 8 years on the horse stall mats. Easy to clean, heavy AF so not moving and no sign of wear. Even moved from one house to another though was a huge PITA. Highly recommend.

I have one guarding the feeder. Sitting perched up on top. The second feeder is near a bottle brush and a second psycho is sitting in that one. They are having a Mexican stand off and it’s quite entertaining

I think trying to accuse the husband of murder is absolutely idiotic. I also think this case sheds light on something real that can happen to women post partum. It’s rare. It happens. Look at Andrea Yates. I think she should be institutionalized for the rest of her life but I think where the empathy arises is she wasn’t always this way, she lost it after the third child and that part is sad. What’s also sad is all the times she told her family (parents husband) that she had thoughts of hurting the children and yet she’s still trusted to be left alone with the children. Maybe it’s a case of simply not understanding the pathology but a person in psychosis is terrifying and unpredictable. Hind sight is 20/20 of course but she should never have been left alone with them. That doesn’t take the blame off of her. She admitted to killing them. She should be locked away.

One way to avoid this would be to get a camera or take a picture when you leave of your door locked. So when that uncertainty comes up, you can reassure yourself. And no one was coming to my house to steal my dog; I still couldn't stop thinking about it.


This actually reinforces the OCD thoughts. Therapy actually works on understanding the anxiety will always be present in life and learning to be ok with it. Exposure therapy works long term. It sucks while you’re doing it but over time helps. Make sure as others have said you find a therapist who specializes in OCD. It’s a different approach than plain anxiety.
