I think it's related to the whole "stand in this puddle for a while" thing.  They're worried about stuff you might have on your shoes. :shrug:

We went with "no" and hoped they wouldn't notice (our hiking boots were packed), which they didn't.

ETA:  I know when mad cow disease was a concern that countries wanted to know if you'd visited farms.  This was broader, though, so I'm not sure what it was.

Did phylloxera miss Belize?

Really.  No jetways so you come down the little stairway and they have a puddle set up that you have to stand in for five seconds or so.  The guy behind me asked why and I just heard "viruses" something something.

They also asked if you've been hiking anywhere in the last 30 days and whether you have any hiking boots with you.  Lying seemed to work out best there.

Tulum is awesome, circa 25 years ago. Those people were hella short. 

 
My daughter left me a note asking for help with this problem.

seriously considering keeping a barber on retainer after i retire
Click to expand...
Mike Tomlin had a guy on retainer his first couple years as Steelers' HC.   Traveled with the team, etc.  His fade was freaking IMMACULATE back then.  The lines were so crisp on the fade/beard that it looked like his hair had been drawn on with shoe polish and a straight edge.  So precise that you needed to cover up one eye when you looked at it so you wouldn't be struck completely blind.  It was dope enough to bring a tear to the eye.  

Personal barbers sound so choice.  If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

having far more anxiety than is probably warranted when considering changing barbers

new place opened up downtown. i could run there over lunch for cuts again.

place i go to now is 25 minutes away by highway, and he keeps trimming his hours. not open after 6 weekdays, now closed on the weekends.....  pretty much gotta pull the trigger on moving to a new barber but it feels an awful lot like breaking up with a girlfriend.

the feels are strong up in here

as a follow up ... dude i sat with was more interested in yakkin' about his real estate gig (oh, nice to know hair stylin' is a ####### hobby) - now, i don't mind idle chitchat if you're a master of your craft, but it was painfully evident that this chap was more suited for the cookie cutter/Garanimals wearing/SuperCuts set - not saying i want a freelancer (i wear a specific 'do), but i also don't care for someone who paints by numbers ... gimme a happy ####### medium - is that too much to ask?

anyways, i had to shut his trap and intervene - i had quite a few cocktails before the sit (as is my wont no matter who is cutting), and i've never been bashful in the chair - i basically navigated the mutha from about midway on ... but i'll be a mofo if this cat still couldn't execute the nuances properly ... came a point where i actually grabbed the styling comb and berated his ### for failure to comprehend. meh.

after snipping was complete he blew it out, much to my inebriated chagrin, but, #### it (i never wear my hair dry) - it looked like Travolta's in SNF - so, at least he had a working concept of finished product, but i haven't put a blow dryer on my hair in 25+ years  :shrug:  

thank the hair care gods for Suavecito - after two weeks i've wrangled this back to street legal comfort.

/fin.

:bag:   I already did.  Landed and bought the exact same pair on my way to my next flight.  Mr krista is my seatmate on the next flight and is on notice.

I was going to suggest calling the headphone company to see if there's anything they could do. Doesn't seem like they should have broken so easily.

But that wouldn't help you for your immediate flights.

probably didn't want their dirt floors to get scuffed up

Here in CA, aka, the west, the toll roads are scintillatingly well marked. The signage for them is impossible to miss. They are also quite expensive. They are owned by the mob in NJ, you have 48 hours to pay online if you don't have a transponder. If you don't pay, their legal team starts every process known to mankind to ruin you financially. The vig is insane. Your 3 dollar toll can turn into $500 in an instant. And eventually, vinnie comes to your house and breaks your knee caps.

They're well-marked here in Texas as well... and the ones that don't accept cash have big signs indicating such.

I've also read that if you crack open your phone and re-solder some of the circuitry, it's possible to make Wade avoid toll roads when giving you directions.

 
#!$%!% is one of those guys whose voice elevates the more he talks. especially on a phone .. but ESPECIALLY on a speaker phone. 

i'm talking yelling at near-concert volume voice to the point where i can hear every word he says through a closed door 20 feet away.

there are 3 men in this part of the office. 8 women. 2 of the women are our manager and her boss.

yesterday, when !$!$!@$!#% came by my desk to chat, i had no idea it was going to be about women's tennis. or how women moan & groan when they swing their rackets. or that he was going to re-enact, repeatedly, for a solid 5 minutes... punctuated by choke-laughing/coughing... a women's tennis match complete with arm, foot and body movements & over-the-top sexualized moaning.

loudly

i've probably never been more concerned about being fired in my life... and all i did was sit there arms folded, staring blankly in amazement at his theatrics.

(sorry @El Floppo, no video)

I mentioned Floppinho's Rosie's Theater thing (in-school theater program set up by Rosie O'donnell's foundation, with scholarship opportunities that can continue on through high school). Today was their performance- song and dance of Jerome Robbins (west side story and tons of other stuff)... very musical theatery, with each 5th grade class (6 classes) doing their own number on stage along with several grade-wide ensemble performances. 

floppinho's group was the last to go, but while they're getting on stage, a bunch of professional looking tv/video cameras move themselves to the front of the auditorium. I know floppinho is internationally known, and his class crushed don't rain on my parade about as well as that miserable song can be crushed, but seems excessive. film crews are getting shots of the audience, kids... wtf is going on.

when they finish, the principal gets up and gives a more emotionally charged speech than normal about how important the arts are, and then introduces a special guest. James Cordon (sp?) walks up and gives a very nice speech to the kids and parents... OMG I WAS TWO FEET AWAY FROM HIM. no idea why he was at our school, but I heard he was also going to read to the kindergarten classes. 

sorry furley, no video for you.

we're still waiting to hear about the scholarship for Rosie's... would be a great thing to get for the kid.

ok... so imagine while he's in the middle of his usual %^&*@!, you casually pull out your phone and just start filming him. passive aggressive me says he'd probably clue in, get embarrassed and stop. or it might backfire and egg him on. either way- win/win for the viewer regarding your so-called imaginary co-worker.

Starting to feel like FDAS isn't really the worst around here.

This guy sounds so completely self absorbed that Furls could probably whip out his "Mr. Roper" and start furiously masturbating in the same room and he'd never notice (unless he also simultaneous was moaning about Aaron Rodgers, which would be....I mean, I don't judge, but that'd be a little....weird).  I doubt him holding up his phone would even register.

15(x) + 10(y)

Or are they going for x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + y + y + y + y + y + y + y + y + y + y?

I noticed a few tiny dents on the hood of my SUV. Looked closer and there were lots. Also on both my sedans. Adjuster came this morning and diagnosed hundreds or hail dents on each of the cars. Very tiny, I hardly noticed on the SUV and had to really squint at the right angle to see them on the sedans. I have no idea when it happened, but it certainly happened in my driveway, since all three cars got damaged.

Anyway, the adjuster is writing up an estimate and says they'll use "paintless dent repair." Is that legit?
