Awesome. We finally moved my MIL out of our house and someone tried to break into her new apartment apparently last night. So now she's freaking out on the verge of a mental breakdown and it looks like my first weekend alone with my wife in over 5 years is about to go down in flames.

That's crazy, man. How did you buy that bundle of goods?

Is this weird? It's been over 12 years since we had a full weekend just wife and me.

Jesus H. Me and the wife had the kid, safely with his grandparents, in our rear view mirror before he was a month old.

we've lived >8 hours away from family for most of the last 16 years.

Holy crap. Get a sitter and get away for a weekend.

Drop off number 3 about to happen. Daughter to Philly last week. I was never so petrified to leave her anywhere. Never been to Philly. Drove thru some "nice" neighborhoods to get to Target and every card declined cause we forgot to tell them we would be there. Fun. Temple campus is beautiful and made me feel much better leaving her there. Thought I'd be more emotional but surprisingly I was ok.

Leaving for Tampa in a half hour. Son is actually kinda nervous. Didnt expect that as he is very outgoing. He should do fine once he is there. Empty nest here we come. Time is flying by right before my eyes.

What means this?

If you have had problems with fraud on your credit card accounts in the past, the credit card companies become very sensitive to your usual usage patterns. If you make an airline reservation to go someplace on the card and add a hotel or a rental car, the companies' computers are usually smart enough to figure it out and you won't run into problems. If you suddenly start using your card someplace you aren't usually, then it is likely that use might be flagged as suspicious. Sometimes that results in cards being declined.

If he drove a long way to Philly, didn't use the card along the way and doesn't have a history of being in Philly, I could see how it would be flagged.

(None of this is based on first hand knowledge of how the CC companies' algorithms actually work, but rather is my best guess based on having experienced everything I just described above)

This exactly. Thank you.

Sorry to hear SLB.

i'm in your boat for different reasons. My family all lives close, but my MIL is a pyscho and shows no interest in our kids, my mom isn't a babysitter, doesn't like little kids or doesn't have the patience, my sister doesn't even watch her own kids so there's no way i'm letting her watch mine, and my sister in law has 5 kids of her own, no way she will take my 4 kids on top. So my wife and I have had 2 short trips in 13 + years together, alone. The last one was in July and it was great, made me remember how cool she is and why I married her

[the rover]

I have lost/had stolen so many cards that now my bank automatically declines any out of state purchases unless I go online or call first and tell them that I'll be out of the state/country.

Our situation is better than that, but not by much.

BTW, we just got back from Loreto and I am going to check our calendar for that prospective cornhole date.

How did you like Loreto? I usually go in February. Love that place. Did you eat at Mita Gourmet?

It was great. Wife and I will probably go back, but not in August. It was a touch...hot. And damn near deserted at Loreto Bay Village. Which probably explains the incredible deal we got.

I think the water would be a bit too cold for my tastes in February, but I could see going in April or May.

We did not eat at Mita Gourmet. We actually cooked at home quite a bit, including more Dorado than we could actually eat.

what kind of deal did you score? and fish, how much are flights when you go? looks like it might be cabo 30-40 years ago, with nice places to stay.

Alaska flies direct from LAX, so it would probably be cheaper for you than it was for us coming from Sea-Tac.

We rented a 2 BR villa that sleeps six comfortably for $100/night. There were tons of similar deals and I bet I could have talked that price down, once I saw how low occupancy was during the low season. Check VRBO and look for places in Loreto Bay Village. It is gorgeously landscaped and the houses are really nice, but the place hasn't really taken off the way the original developer had hoped.

When the place was first being developed, pre-2008, the basic 2BR villa models were selling for prices around $375,000 (USD). Today there are listings for lots of existing homes of that model at $225,000-$250,000. Some of that has to do with the depreciation of the Peso relative to the USD, but not all of it.

Even during "high season", Loreto bay village is only about 50% occupied at any given time, according to a couple different locals I talked to.

The high end fishing charter places (like the kind the hotel books) wanted $475 for a day of fishing. I hired a local captain down at the marina for $220, though I had to buy fishing permits for five of us ($83) and wristbands to enter the national park ($13 for all of us). So all in I paid a little over $300, plus we had to provide our own drinks and lunch. I suspect that the prices for fishing would be higher in the high season. I also suspect I could have negotiated harder with the guy than I did (which was not at all).

RL>you did ok for the fishing. $200 plus permits and wristbands is pretty normal. I go down for Fishin' for the Mission (2nd week of July), and you have to book the captain a year in advance to get one, so they charge more. Didn't go this year because the fishing sucked. Usually the whale watching gives you drinks and lunch, but the fishing doesn't.

Da Raiders>I'm flying from SeaTac as well, so it's pricey year round. Best I ever get is $450, usually it's $600. Flying direct from LAX is way better, and I guess there's some other competition starting that may fly from San Diego or Tijuana. I can ask my brother.

I've been there 8 times now I think. If anyone needs info, I'm happy to provide it, but they sort of make things up as they go in a lot of places.

The comparison to old Cabo is pretty accurate. It's a ton of American and Canadian expats, with a very mellow, island-time vibe. No late night party spots, but great restaurants, affordable stuff to do and fairly clean and safe as Mexico goes.

Surprisingly, if you get south enough it does not smell - probably because you're out of range of the chemical factories.

But they do weird things like call sprinkles "Jimmies" and call Italian Ices "Water Ice"

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The outside linebacker who punched New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith during a locker room dispute missed his college team's 2011 season opener because he injured his hand punching a man he thought was a woman with whom he had arranged to have sex, ESPN Outside the Lines has learned.

IK Enemkpali, who was cut by the Jets after the Smith incident and is now with the Buffalo Bills, needed surgery after the 2011 incident and missed Louisiana Tech's opener against Southern Mississippi. He had been suspended before the start of that season for striking an off-duty sheriff's officer at a bar in Ruston, Louisiana, five months earlier, for which he was charged with battery on an officer and disturbing the peace.

The details of Enemkpali punching the man he thought was a woman are outlined in a police report obtained by Outside the Lines. Enemkpali was not charged in the incident and actually made the complaint to police after the man demanded money from him.

NFL sources said the incident -- and what it showed about Enemkpali's decision-making skills -- prompted at least one AFC team to take him off its draft board. And it was among the reasons multiple other teams were dissuaded from drafting him. One team, sources said, noted in its scouting report that Enemkpali "puts himself in bad situations."

According to the police report, on Sept. 1, 2011, Enemkpali began exchanging messages with a new Facebook friend named "Missy Lee," who offered to perform oral sex on Enemkpali if he would come over to her house. He told police that after he entered the house through a side door, he saw a figure inside "covered head-to-toe in a blanket," and the person would not remove the blanket. "Enemkpali stated that he felt uneasy about the situation, so he left," the report states.

But Enemkpali returned to the house after "Missy Lee" called him and convinced him to come back. When he arrived, the person wearing the blanket still refused to remove it and refused to turn on the lights. When a cellphone in the room rang, "the screen lit up the room enough to see that the person under the blanket had facial hair," the report states. Enemkpali said another person had also entered the room.

"Enemkpali stated that he felt that he was being 'set up' for a robbery of some type," the police report states. "Enemkpali stated that fearing for his safety, he then struck the subject in the blanket. Enemkpali stated that after he struck this person, their voice changed to that of a male. Enemkpali stated that he then left the residence through the window."

Enemkpali told police he started receiving threatening texts in which "Missy Lee" accused him of punching her and knocking out her teeth. "U are going to jail," read one of the texts. He offered $500, but "Missy Lee" demanded $1,000 or the police would be called. "He [Enemkpali] would be 'finished' if that happened." The texts were followed by phone calls from someone claiming to be the father of "Missy Lee" and demanding payment.

Enemkpali reported the incident to police three days after it happened.

Enemkpali's agent declined comment to Outside the Lines. The Bills did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"Want a #######, dude?"

Yes?

[GroveDiesel]

Grove, I don't catch up on all of the posts here and probably have missed most of yours dealing with MIL. Does she have dementia?

Not dementia. She had a stroke January of 2014. She's 90% better but has trouble finding the right words sometimes, has a harder time reading and has a tougher time making decisions. She has lived with us since then. She is perfectly fine taking care of herself, she's just scared.

There's a whole backstory that I can't really share of some crazy LifeTime Original type stuff from her childhood that has created her fear issues so I'm sympathetic, but she's also the most negative person I've ever met. It's completely toxic to be around. She's like an emotional vampire. It's taken a gigantic toll on my wife and 6 year old daughter. And with no self awareness of how she affects others, it's incredibly frustrating. Over the last 19 months, I can count on one hand how many times she went to her room to allow my wife and I to just do something like watch tv alone together. Her constant presence has been a wrecking ball to our marriage. It's well beyond time for her to move out.

And while I am sympathetic to her and hate that this happened, I also advised her to take two other apartments over this place. Specifically because I thought she would feel safer in them. One she rejected because she thought it was too small for her, and she rejected the other one because she thought it would be dangerous because she saw a couple of black people hanging out outside during the day. This is after spending months on waiting lists for both of them. And after an entire year of me trying to find her a place that allows dogs and meets her other 50 criteria.

Yeah, the lingo is pretty dumb a lot of the time.

There's a really odd mix of areas where I live in SJ. Most of the area around me is very affluent. Tons of lawyers/doctors/accountants, etc that work in Philly but want to love semi-rural. And then there's the actual rural close by so you have things like the Cowtown Rodeo and Bridgeport Dirt Track Racing. And then you hit areas like Gibbstown, Clayton and Glassboro that are kind of ghetto in parts. Although Rowan University is growing so quickly that it's taking over Glassboro and rapidly improving things.

I don't, because my wife and I are both on our second marriage, so our exes have the kids every other weekend.

But if I hadn't been away for more than a night in 13 years, I totally would.

All of the locals that we met were absolutely awesome. Friendly and helpful and just genuinely nice.

Except for the airfare, everything was cheap as hell. The peso is almost 17 to the dollar and buying groceries was laughably cheap. You were right that the fresh meat wasn't all that appealing in the regular stores though. I didn't change many US dollars into pesos, so I was a bit hostage to whatever exchange rate a store or purveyor wanted to claim. The best rates were anywhere they took credit cards, where I am pretty sure I got 16 to the dollar. The worst was buying a bag of ice at the marina where the lady crossed USD at 13 pesos. I could have #####ed, but these people are poor and it was a damn bag of ice.

Probably my favorite little thing about the trip was that half of the fishing captains/guides in the marina had the last name "Davis". The Davis family is one of two or three prominent fishing families in Loreto and our Davis, Rodrigo, told me that the family name came from an English pirate. That may or may not be true, but these were the most Mexican Davises I have ever met.
