It is our 25th annivesary this year and we had planned something big, like Thailand or such, but a new grandson kept us around for the summer.  That will get bumped to next year.  Wife has this dream to go to the Outer Banks (thanks a lot Nicholas Sparks), so am thinking I will plan a shorter...

With OSU headed that way,  we have the opportunity to check off two bucket list items.  Wife to the parade and me to the game.   Would love to have thoughts all about both.   Where to stay, eat,  best way to get there,  where to watch the parade,  etc.  I know tickets go on sale Tuesday morning...

I am sure there are a few Comic-Con people here.  I have been going to the SLC one for a number of years and it is pretty darn big.  Last year was the first I did photo ops and they are just a kick in the pants, but you have to be ready for a pose to make them fun.  Last year had Stephen Amell...

For most of my life, I have had the very typical symptoms of this, just did not have the name or "diagnosis" until a few years ago.  I think it is hard for people to understand how real it is.  I can be eating a meal with my family, and one of them will all of a sudden start chewing loudly (and...

I know many of the members of this board have aged along with me here.  I am 46 and am full-on experiencing all the 40's have to offer with memory lapses, near vision changes (I have that one figured out ;) ) and harder to bounce back from activities. Something I had not anticipated was sleep...

I do not think anyone can deny the amazing benefits that this online world has given us.  Information at the punch of a button is just incredible.  One of the offshoots of this and online reputation, however, is it has essentially taught people that they can be grade A #######s to businesses and...

This is pretty bad in Utah right now, though it has been going on since the USPS got part of the Amazon contract.  You get drivers scanning packages as delivered in order to meet their quotas and deadlines, but then the packages eventually show up anywhere from 2-7 days later.  We have noticed...

So for most of my life, my memory has been fantastic.  Great recall, could remember people's and patient's names easily.  The mind responded well.  And then the 40's hit and it has been a slow change.  Words take a few milliseconds more at times to come to mind.  I have to think about people's...

It was there this morning, saw XULF posted some pickles when they were in, and now gone. :kicksrock: If we cannot get that back, I guess make this one the official one? Harbaugh came out here Friday to visit DT Jay Tufele.  Yesterday and today, Larry Johnson one-upped him and visited and...

Saw on the ticker while watching NCAA football yesterday that apparently, the WNBA just crowned a champion.  I had no idea they were even playing. I would have to say no, no way I would go to that free game.  Sounds terrible.  I can only imagine they pipe WNBA games into Gitmo as their most...

I believe there is a thread on New York in general, but the search function appears to be DOA with the upgrade.  Wife and I are looking at a shorter NYC trip in mid-April to get a few hours of CE at Vision East at the Javits Center.  Neither of us have been, so are open to any and all advice...

On the outside, the Metal Earth models look so very cool. Shiny metal models that you put together with supposedly no tools. Star Wars, Star Trek, tanks, planes, etc. The options are as endless and look so promising. Then you try building them. My son built a TIE Fighter I got him for...

So in October, my wife visited a flower/gift shop looking at Halloween decorations. She loves the villages, etc. Has a massive one, lots of fun for the kids, whatever. She loves it and it makes her happy. As a sidenote, the store is in the same complex as my old office that I rented for 12...

I am curious about your feelings towards "your team's" rival in college football. Do you cheer against them during the regular season, but does it change in the bowl season? For me, I will generally hope for losses for Michigan during the regular season, but come bowl season, I hope for their...

So I have never really had the need to sell anything large until recently. I am looking to sell a retinal camera to a doc in Florida at about $10k and with zero experience, was wondering if the FFA collective wisdom might lead me in the best way to run that transaction. Cashier's check and not...

So I just got a letter from the US Office of Personnel Mgnt Investigation center for a former employee. Seems he/she is applying for a job requiring a background check or security clearance. My question is, exactly how fun will this be? This individual was dishonest, unreliable and left my...

As a kid, my mom had this 45, I believe, that came out after Star Wars. Not the typical fan fare, but I just remember it was sort of like a musical trip through the movie. I remember it had a portion of it with blaster sounds, like a fight taking place, had a part with the cantina, etc. My...

Many years ago I started a thread on secrets of the industry that you worked in, and think it helped some. As I have gotten older, I have found things that I use that I think are truly awesome and will tell people about it when given the chance. I did not remember one like that here, so why...

I am curious about the FFA's take on this chain. I love the place, personally. So many great tacos - original, mango habanero mahi mahi, salsa verde shrimp, grilled tilapia, gourmet shrimp. The list goes on and on. Wife loves the grilled shrimp burrito. Good salsa bar, to boot.
