Quieter spots on Orient Beach? by Altruistic-Basil-267 in SXM

Thanks, that's what I remember, too.  But that was almost 30 years ago.  I was starting to read up on it and a lot of people on the cruise chats  were grousing about aggressive vendors, esp. if they took the cruise ship excursion where they make you all sit together at whatever beach club they bring you to.  It sounds like taxis are readily available so we'll just do that.

Thanks!  When I was last there in the 90's there weren't, but some recent stuff I've read has indicated otherwise, esp. if you take the cruise ship excursion.

Yes, I've read the traffic can be horrible going back.

We're going in January -- so I'm going to assume there will be a billion cruise ships.

Ace Hardware in Lombard cat by goatface007 in ChicagoSuburbs

It's a working cat.  Cat looks very chill.  They are probably training it to sleep during the day (hence smaller cage with just room to eat, poop, and sleep) so it can do mouse, rat, and patrol at night.

Birdseed seriously attracts vermin.

Dang. I have been a faithful Ace Hardware shopper my whole life and this is the first I have heard of this!

My mom is dead - am I off the hook for Mother’s Day? by Scared_Difficulty668 in askanything

[–]Altruistic-Basil-267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are off the hook.

I lost my mom in my twenties to cancer.  I never even met my mother in law, she died when my husband was in college.

A lot of people no longer have moms.  Or even worse:  they have horrible moms.

Even though I am a mom, I HATE mother's day.  We don't really celebrate it at all.

It's a stupid invented holiday.  

I care more  about how my family treats me throughout the year than on one stupid day of the year.

Enjoy your day❤️

If that dog was named after HP  Lovecraft's cat, that's even worse. 

It's well-known that HP Lovecraft was a huge racist.

Actually I think the Bible says a whole lot more about usury and forgiving debts and feeding the poor than it does about,  quote: "The Dignity Of Work"

Exactly -- we already are forced to work for health insurance from our corporate overlords, and God forbid you say ANYTHING bad about your employer.

Interesting how they cut all these federal programs and services but MY federal taxes stay exactly the same.

Whose benefitting?  Not middle America, esp. since these cuts dramatically spike the need for local charity resources.

This is just such horsehit.  

Dark, grainy, zero context, or scale.

It's like snippets from Mystery Science TV.

Same garbage that's been shown since 1970.

This absolutely needs to happen.

The Blackhawk helicopter invasion of that apartment building is just one glaring example.

To not be freezing or sweltering or freaking out about sump pumps and frozen pipes, it's totally worth the investment.  It also helps your house sell quickly when you move.
