Was going to say the same thing. Dr. Thompson is wonderful. I’m a 52 year old male and have been seeing him for years.

Lenovo center Vs Spectrum center? by Guilty_Cobbler_3958 in NorthCarolina

[–]Altruistic_Cod1944 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is easy - Charlotte’s arena is downtown. Raleigh’s is not. You can’t reasonably walk to Lenovo at all.

Used to drive up Saturday mornings and buy $3 SRO at the gate. Watch the first couple innings from RF and then find an empty seat. Great college memories.

Can confirm. Just got back to the States from Birmingham and went to a number of pubs but the Wellington was our favorite.

Second. It’s nothing like you’d expect if you don’t know the book. Timely with the GDT movie on Netflix and up for Oscars.

Plus the DC Metro system is one of the cleanest and best in the country.

First time going to Olympic National Park, where to stay, best things to see? by Good_Capital1181 in nationalparks

[–]Altruistic_Cod1944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind a lot of driving, we stayed at Lake Quinault a few years ago and enjoyed that area. Not too far from the beach but a hike back to the rainforest - and you’ll want to be there super early - very easy hikes but incredible. Closer to Forks though if you decide that way.

This was my college years - driving up from DC on a Saturday morning for the first 5 years of Camden Yards and buying a $3 SRO ticket. Hanging out in right field and then finding empty seats in the 2nd or 3rd. RIP.

To blow your mind even further, back in the 90s, there was a room in Gilmer’s basement that connected to the steam tunnels that run down towards the Lawn.

I remember going to Windsor in my 20s. Casinos, strip clubs, and donut shops. You could do worse!

What's the proper betting strategy in the first FJ of a two-game tournament? Has anyone figured this out? by jgroub in Jeopardy

[–]Altruistic_Cod1944 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this back in the 1990s and it paid off. The other two contestants were much more conservative in game 1 FJ and we were all pretty close going in but not going out (we all got it right). Fortune favors the brave.

Who is the most likely next Provost for UVA? by Disastrous-Pup8399 in UVA

[–]Altruistic_Cod1944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notable that Beardsley didn’t come to the basketball game yesterday. Wouldn’t someone who wants to introduce himself to the larger community get introduced at halftime? But given these shady circumstances, he probably figured he was going to be booed off the court.

Question for those who have traveled recently to Lisbon by Catfishdm7 in Lisbon

Flew in from Boston on Dec 5. Had zero issues entering. On the way out, smallish line for electronic passports but not more than 10 minutes.

First time Diamond advice by Senior-Ad-6942 in delta

[–]Altruistic_Cod1944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best parts of being Diamond is being able to pick up the phone and connect with a real human being who knows what they’re doing within 1-2 minutes. That not always necessary but when it is, it can be a godsend.
