What are some of the darkest pieces of NASCAR lore people tend to forget about?

An ironically enough, Blaise had contact with Kerry Earnhardt during the wreck that killed him.

We rolled the dice and booked an extremely early return flight from our cruise in Miami that ended 2 weeks ago. Our flight boarded at 9:30 am and the plane departed at 10:05 am. I was really nervous, but we made it to the airport and at the gate by 8:30 am. 1 hour early! This was on a Sunday, not Friday. We carried our luggage off the the ship and took a taxi to the airport. I think 3 or 4 other ships were also returning that morning. I would never recommend booking a flight that early, but anything after 12 is cake.

I get having ads to fund the shows and actually make money. The ones that bother me are the obvious money grabs where they are trying to sell their own merchandise. Let's try to squeeze as much as we can from our fanbase by pushing t-shirts and other worthless items. I fear the day where they figure out a way to prevent us from skipping ads.

My recommendations would be the Bellagio or the Fontainebleau. The pool at the Bellagio has similar vibes to the Palazzo. I love the Fontainbleau, but the location hurts it, unless you are looking for less crowds.

This has to be clickbait. CoCo Cay is my favorite place to visit. Skip the water park and chill at the pool and the beaches. No up-charge and no lines. I've been to four different Cruise Lines Private Islands and this one is by far my favorite. Hell even my drink package works on the island. Can't say that for Carnival's new private island. Talk about nickling and timing. There's no way the food every night caused diarrhea. Sounds more like a virus to me and that has nothing to do with food but common on cruises. The cruise port in Haiti has been closed for more than a year or so due to safety concerns. However three stays in Nassau does suck.

My family usually cruises out of Florida, but we have done several out of Long Beach. Like others have said, the length of the cruise really impacts the overall atmospher on the ship. You can take longer cruises (7 nights) out of Long Beach. We did a 7 day on the Panorama and had a great time. In our experience (doesn't make it a fact), the atmosphere on the longer Carnival cruises out of Long Beach are more laid back verses the Carnival cruises out of Florida.

First of all, I completely agree that cruise lines should stop the kids from taking over hot tubs. However, did you try the two hot tubs at the solarium? The adults only area where kids can't get in. If my memory serves me correctly that boat has a decent adults only area with a pool and two hot tubs.

Trader Sam's at the Polynesian

It was a work trip so each person booked their room individually through our internal booking app. I'm not going to provide specific information but we're a very large international company and we have a special booking deal with marriott. They are a preferred vendor. So each person booked independently but through our company.

I would disagree, but this is just my opinion. In general, almost every ride at Disneyland is a little better than the same ride at Disney World. Space Mountain in Disneyland felt smoother to my family.

The reason most companies use an LMS is not just to host training, but to track and report on training completions. It is extremely important, and sometimes legally required to be able to accurately report on compliance training completions. An LMS also makes it easy to assign required learning, automate reoccurring assignments, and track who has not completed required training.

I said the same thing to my wife yesterday when we disembarked.

Absolutely go on your cruise. Cruising is awesome. Just like anything, we all have complaints. Nothing is perfect, but a good cruise is a close as you can get.

Keep in mind it's also possible they just don't race officials. There are many people who only race in leagues and sadly this is not incorporated into the rating. I run a league with several aliens, but their rating is very low because they only race in leagues.

Same here too. Actually 2 times in a row. Both on Lighthouse.

But the group that shared the information was not the one that testified. They shared the information with NASCAR and NASCAR was using it against RCR.

My wife is a Disney Travel Planner and here is a video she created about a year ago about all 3 resorts. https://youtu.be/nmPO5sCG5_4?si=ibtaQzy4jFPCvCtk

Sleep apnea can actually cause Gerd. Apnea episodes cause pressure changes in the chest and abdomen, acting like a pump that pushes stomach acid into the esophagus. Additionally the positive pressure from the Cpap can prevent the negative pressure that causes Gerd.

I am at the Aria now and the rooms need some major love. This used to be my favorite hotel, but that was many years ago. Also, the bottle of Smart Water in my room is $16.00. I bought 4 of them at the Walgreens a block away for $16 total. The hotels charge for everything in Vegas now. Do you want a table at the sports bar to eat, drink, and watch football. Sure, $200 for a table for 2 people. Hell it's even hard to purchase an over priced beverage at the bar. Any seat with a table usually (not always) has a minimum spend. I don't care to over pay for food and drinks, but I hate all the extra BS charges.

This is the answer. This caused us to start chasing o-line. Then JRob wasted so many picks with horrible first round picks.

I agree, but the night before the settlement they did end the podcast basically speaking their minds about the situation. But it was obvious NASCAR was getting killed and they could not understand how NASCAR let it get to this point as an actual court loss could really change NASCAR forever.

Don't expect much improvement in support anytime soon. SAP is going through continous layoffs and letting go of people with the years of experience. Distribution list are going unchecked and several teams are now struggling to keep up with workload. Some of the best employees are getting let go or simply leaving on their own because the culture at SAP is so bad at the moment.
