My girls are into this. There's a ninja gym near our home owned by a couple who been on the show. It's great for girls IMO. Strength, fun, challenging. 

But I will say all those pallets and rough cut wood - eesh.

It happened to me when I moved from Samsung Galaxy to an iPhone. AT&T has an app that is supposed to migrate all of your contacts over. It sort of worked, sort of didn't. Many came over, but not all.

So now I have to keep the old Galaxy phone in a drawer next to my computer and pull it out and plug it in periodically to look up a contact. Really convenient.

This is exactly what happened with me.  It's an easy fix but I just haven't gotten around to it.

I think I may have gotten blackout drunk and sold my soul.  Went out with the 22 year old tonight.  She makes me feel 20 years younger, which would still be too old for her.  There is no other explanation I can think of for her wanting any part of me.

Totally worth it.

wait until she tells you "you're gonna need me to take care of you as get older"     You're toast

Doesn't worry me.  I dated Knuckles.

GM and Homer have seen pics.  I think they'd both agree that risking eternal damnation is totally warranted.

 
Need a little help.......

My daughter is looking for a CC that gives miles. She usually flies Southwest, but other airlines are always an option. Are there any decent ones out there with a decent rate, and no yearly fee? She always pays it off so I guess the rate wouldn't matter too much.

@krista4 and any others who fly a lot? @Abraham

TIA

:hey:   Check out The Points Guy's site:  here  

He keeps this constantly updated as to the best credit cards for a variety of things, including miles.  I know Southwest has a credit card and I'm sure you get some significant sign-up miles bonuses as miles-rewards cards always give those, but I don't know much about the Southwest card (I use a Delta card when I want miles).  Are you sure she wants miles rather than one with a good cash-back program or one that can be used for a variety of travel?  Some of those can be a better value overall than miles.  Poke around his site, though, for some ideas - it's a great resource.

ETA:  Looks like the Southwest card is a $99 annual fee.

My dad told me it would help me through this difficult time if I could see pictures of your 22 year old minx.

Thanks Krista.

She has a 3%? cash back card now but is wondering if she should get a miles card since she flies 2-3 times a year and maybe more.

I'll check that link out. Thanks again!

Here's a recent article from him that might be of interest.  He's always liked the Chase Sapphire Preferred a lot and still does - $0 annual fee for the first year and $95 thereafter.

You're likely not going to do much better than 3% in terms of the value of the miles you get, after you get past the intro rewards.  That guy whose site I linked also does a monthly update of the dollar value of various points/miles, which you might wish to use for comparison.

Pretty sure that's not true. I think he had a heart attack.

Best damn Middle Linebacker ever.

 
Happy to say my son was discharged from the hospital today :thumbup:

He is still not feeling great but he is excited to be home.  Funny thing is he had to endure 2 cleanses and with the combo of laxative and pain meds it led to some sphincter failure.  Every time he gets out of bed he looks at the sheets to make sure he didn't leave anything behind.  In his words he is suffering from PTSD.  :) I love that he has been able to keep his sense of humor throughout this ordeal.

I did something similar on the recent trip to Austin

I woke up Saturday morning after a raucous Friday night and went to the bathroom. When I got back to my bed, out of the corner of my eye I noticed a bunch of brown smears in the sheets. I went into panic mode wondering what the hell happened. Did the hotel leave ####ty sheets on the bed, or god forbid, did I soil myself while I was sleeping?

I moved the sheets around and there's more of it.

I run back into the bathroom, look in the mirror and see it on my back. Its ####### everywhere.

Now I'm a binge drinker personified and I've had my share of 'what happened' moments the morning after those binge drinking events, but I've never woken up in a puddle of my own, well, my own anything. 

In the back of my head, I'm done. Rock bottom has been hit and its time to join :homer: at the ranch because this is not how I'm going to live my life.

Then I saw it, the wrapper from the piece of chocolate that the hotel leaves on your pillow.

Reminds me of a story an acquaintance told me a few years back.  He's a colorectal surgeon(i.e. an ### doctor).  Had a drug rep in one morning and, as all drug reps do, they came bearing gifts to schmooze/### kiss him for business.  This particular one was, apparently, a comedian and brought a treat basket that included a giant box of candy that were pretty much chocolate logs(so, "They looked like turds.  You're an ### doctor.  Hah-hah.  Get it?" I guess).

At any rate, he said he gave him a polite chuckle, listened to his pitch, then shoved him out the door.  Told the rest of the office staff, they all get a brief eyeroll/laugh out of it and decide "Well, we may as well try the turd candy."  Turns out it's freaking delicious.   The doc, who starts eating the damn things like they're the crack rock, sits it out at the checkout desk for his patients, but he keep going and grabbing like 5 of them each time he walks a patient out.  So, by lunch he's had like 20 of these things, they're starting to melt(it's FL) and it's getting busy at the office.  After one patient he forgets to clean up his hands and at some point wipes chocolate onto his coat/scrubs.  Next patient he sees gives him a mortified look when he goes into the exam room.  He glances down and sees the mess and immediately says "Oh, no, no!  It's just chocolate!  Don't worry!"  The patient looked back disbelievingly and asked "Ummm....are you sure?  You can go change if you need to."  Doc pulled the coat/scrub/whatever it was up toward his nose, gave a giant whiff, then licked it.  Looks back to the patient and says "Taste test confirms:  It's just chocolate.  Nothing to worry about.  So, let's take a look at your chart."

TFW when you see that it's just chocolate on the bed and can continue being a drunk.  :headbang:

Glad he is heading home. Any diagnosis or elimination of potential worrisome causes?

3% cashback on everything?  What card is that?

Chase Sapphire Preferred is the goto travel card these days. The Reserve version has a hefty fee, but would be worth it if a heavy traveler. 

 
So my 67 year old mother likes to mess the the Indian phone scammers from "Microsoft" who always call in a panic and tell her she needs to go to her computer right away. She was just reenacting a recent call where she told them she couldn't go to the computer because she was busy having sex with her husband and went into the full moan and groan routine.  It was kinda funny but now I feel emotionaly scarred

I have a Southwest Airlines VISA card - sounds like she should look into it if she mostly flies SWA.

I haven't missed a TNF game in a while, because even though the product is ####, it's still nice to have NFL football during the week. However, I haven't even turned on the TV tonight. Sounds like Blaine Gabbert v. Drew Stanton is living up to "expectations."
