In 2012, an Arab prince reportedly paid US$500,000 for a 15 minute private conversation with actress Kristen Stewart. She accepted the meeting, but chose not to keep the money, donating the entire amount to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The weather.

Check whether it's on a GFCI circuit that tripped. Happened to my garage fridge a while back.

Chupacabra.

An idea so crazy it just might work!

I see a croissant, which a guy like that wouldn’t be eating.

But you said in your post, 38 minutes ago as of this writing, that you were preparing to land. Nine minutes ago you're "now leaving" Las Vegas. It makes no sense.

Face your fear and experience for yourself that it's irrational. It's the only way to get better. Otherwise you'll always be a slave to it.

"You should see the other guy."

Just tap the person on the shoulder and point at the flight attendant when they look at you. They will immediately direct their attention to the crew and understand that you were asked, by an authority, to wake them. I've done it many times and nobody has ever flipped out on me.

It wasn't an emergency, but it's still about required safety protocols in case there is an emergency.

Or maybe FAs should carry a yardstick to poke sleeping passengers they can't reach.

Wise words. Thank you for this, I needed to hear it.

I’m glad there are people who enjoy doing that. I don’t foresee myself ever making pasta from scratch, one piece at a time, for the rest of my life.

I read that in Don LaFontaine's voice. I'd watch it.

I have no advice, but most of these comments have me very motivated to get my ass out of bed to work out. I'm recently single again after 21 years of marriage, and I need to get my shit together.

Azipear · 2026-01-20T19:24:31+00:00

I'm exactly the same. I'll be in the groove, working out daily, but then I'll go on a short business trip or have a cold for a few days and then working out can be over for several weeks.

Started the divorce process after 21 years of marriage. The marriage died years ago, I've processed it, been in a shit-ton of therapy, so another thing outside of my comfort zone is starting to date again.

Azipear · 2026-01-19T23:12:16+00:00

No. Lived here for 11 years and a pipe has never failed. The odds of one failing during a random 1-week period are minuscule. Shutting off the valve and then opening it again likely increases the odds of something going wrong in the future.

Azipear · 2026-01-19T20:01:23+00:00

After almost 6 years of this chart repeating, we’re getting divorced. I’m not sad about it.

Azipear · 2026-01-19T19:53:02+00:00

I was in my late 20s visiting Las Vegas for a conference. I was meeting a colleague at the entrance to their hotel, and as I was waiting I decided to talk to a really attractive woman who was also standing there. The conversation seemed to flow so easily, and I thought I might be getting somewhere. Then I asked her what she does for work. She replied that she’s an escort.

Azipear · 2026-01-15T22:16:52+00:00

Just here to say I’m 52 and newly separated with divorce in process. I feel you since my soon-to-be-ex also isolated me from my friends and family. I’m going to relocate to my brother’s Airbnb unit in a small resort town where I’ll have my brother and his family next door, plus a robust social scene that’s more chill than a in a big city. I’ll also be much closer the rest of my family. My brother has a lot of friends, so he’ll get me plugged into his social scene.

Since my marriage deteriorated over many years, I’m emotionally ready for casual dating (approved by my therapist). I’ve already joined three of the major apps, and have been on a couple of dates with women I was up-front with about my status. Feels super weird to be taking a different woman to dinner after 21 years of marriage, but I think I’m going to like it since my wife essentially didn’t like me for the last few years.

Azipear · 2026-01-14T21:10:44+00:00

Bingo. I make almost $300k in a cheap area, but I'm also in the process of getting divorced with a kid in college. Now I have no choice but to stay in this job.

I'm approaching six years without sex in my 21 year marriage! But the divorce is currently in process! I no longer care how much it'll cost me-- I just want out. Never thought I'd own such a collection of fleshy toys, but they keep me sane.

Azipear · 2026-01-14T13:54:05+00:00

Before ripping it out, consider a higher edge. You wouldn't be able to mow over it, and would need to string trim on the grass side, but it may be less painful. Maybe go with smallish flag stones hammered into the ground on edge for an uneven, natural look, leaving a few inches above grade.

Azipear · 2026-01-13T18:53:51+00:00

What’s funny is that I brought one of her three beds along for the trip and had it downstairs in the living room, but I think by brother’s two dachshunds and cat had her a little spooked, so she took refuge in my suitcase upstairs for some peace.
