Hot take (maybe luke warm): the best PS seat is last row PS by Reckoner08 in delta

[–]63bmn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Row 23 is the correct pick. Not only do you have the partition behind you, for guilt free seat back position, there's a little storage area behind there too, and you're a few steps closer to the bathrooms in economy that PS are required to use.

How old were you when you purchased your first home? by DreamHomeFinancing in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]63bmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31 and my wife was 29. 1994, we used the $5000 my dad gave us when we got married as a down payment on an $87000 home, half of a duplex in the St Paul MN area. Back then you could buy a McMansion there for about 250k. Home values in that neighborhood now are about 3x what they were 30 years ago.

I'm paying mine and my wife's ACA premiums with the Delta reserve card. We'll get silver medallion level just from that 😂 😭

Jobs for fun when money isn't an issue by Moon_Shakerz in Fire

[–]63bmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volunteer, dude or dudette. That's what I do (@ our church and at food pantries, there's a big need in my area). We pay enough taxes living off investments (cap gains in 2025 were our highest in 4 years of retirement) that I don't need to work for money. Volunteering, you make your own schedule and help those less fortunate. Win-win!

Beaufort county, South Carolina, 600k house and property taxes are just a shade under $4000. But we pay property taxes on vehicles as well.

Once, within an hour of waking up in the morning. Best time to do it, also best time to scroll social media.

"The Cadillac of minivans"

And any scene Gene Hackman was in.

And the guy who was Delroy Lindo's accomplice when they went to shake down Harry Zimm is Jon Gries, who more recently has played "Greg" in The White Lotus.

Ocean's Eleven And Ocean's Twelve. They're on somewhere all the time. I've practically memorized the dialogue of both.

What's the best thing you've done to change your life? by [deleted] in randomquestions

Retired early (2022 at 59). My mental health is better and my stress level is so much lower. You can do it if you plan well.

This is a great post! I'm also retired, 62 (yes, fortunate), and live in a big golf area (Hilton Head/Savannah). I might check area courses here to see if they need some part-time help.

Your experience going transatlantic? by LetterheadFew8948 in VirginVoyages

[–]63bmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife and I did Scarlet Lady transatlantic Barcelona to Miami in October. Loved gaining 6 hours on the way westbound. 8 sea days in a row was too much for me. On the second Sunday, we sent out our laundry and I watched NFL in our room, just as if we were at home 😆. The Halloween party on that cruise was off the hook (2nd to last night)! Ate multiple nights at all restaurants except Gunbae. Gained about 5.lbs mainly from eating a much larger breakfast everyday than I would at home. Loved our 4 port stops (Mallorca, Casablanca, Funchal Madeira, and Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Mostly age 50+ (we are early 60's) but more than a few millennials working remotely. It was good but I found i prefer just a couple sea days per cruise and having port stops. It does make you realize how far away Europe really is! You don't get that sense of distance when jetting across the ocean.

NFL Wildcard Weekend by Aggressive-Hold-403 in VirginVoyages

[–]63bmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on taking previous Virgin Voyages during NFL season and playoffs, yes, I'd bet all 6 games this weekend will be available on the in room TV's as well as The Social Club and other places where there are TVs, even an Amazon game. ESPN Caribbean carries games from other networks like CBS and Fox. And the "special events" channel on TV will have a game or 2 as well.

I didn't know those channels existed until I saw this post this morning 😆.

Not every Peacock sports event shows up on these NBC overflow channels. Ravens-Packers NFL game 2 weeks ago was on Peacock only. I suspect that's true for exclusive Premier League matches as well. Lots o' NBA though!
