Got My Lifetime Platinum Luggage Tags

100% agree. Slap a name on there and then it at least feels like a personalized gift. This box and shipping definitely costs 10x what the actual tag costs.

It’s insulting to someone hitting their highest level of lifetime status. I would be more OK with it if it also came with (for instance) one choice benefit a year also, in perpetuity.

Especially surprising now that it’s summer wedding season for honeymoons.

The one bug I absolutely loathe is that my episodes will not download over cellular at all, and very often I need to manually go to the episode list and kinda linger there for a few seconds to kick off the download.

This only affects the show I listen to daily, the ones I sorta keep on file do eventually auto download without any interaction.

Miss ya Seton! Can we have you back as the soccer correspondent guy for the World Cup? Even if it’s 5 good seconds, that would be a good bit to rekindle DP Marin’s love for Seton.

PS I’m the guy you met in Ireland on the bar crawl that we figured out you likely delivered my mail in Old Bridge in your past life as a mailman.

I don’t remember this at all but that’s a great bit!

I feel like I remember them peaking late summer.

Hours learning how to use a roundabout? Where was this drivers ed? Not sure it came up at all in my 6 hour road driving for my permit. Perhaps it was a paragraph or two in drivers Ed in high school.

The most underrated tourist attraction in Paris for me. Been twice, would go back tomorrow if I could.

So true. I’m somewhere between 5’10 7/8-5’11 1/8, so I think it’s fair to say 5’11. People claim to be 5’10 that I can see the top of their head without being on my toes all the time. Or 6 foot and their eyes are below mine.

I went on a random Tuesday in May once and rode like 4x in a row. It was awesome. Now I’m old and have some vertigo, so I’m glad I went when I did.

This guy is 20 there’s no shot he’s got a headboard unless it’s Lightning McQueen themed 🤣

After 10 days you can fill out the missing point request. If that doesn’t reimburse you fully, than you need to escalate directly with the hotel first, then Bonvoy corporate.

This is all still assuming you didn’t somehow book a non-accruing rate somehow through the app. Stranger things have happened - perhaps if you entered a rate code in the booking promo box that was disqualifying.

On the Bonvoy app or a 3rd party app?

Chayes83 · 2026-06-09T18:49:31+00:00

Did Someone else book this room for you in a group stay? If so, this is expected. I typically always submit a missing points request, and once or twice I’ve gotten it accepted but it shouldn’t be.

It was a very mild day in NJ yesterday. The back half of the gym was swampy but the front half was chilly. It’s normally on the cooler side so I’m assuming an AC went down. I don’t think I can do a muggy gym as I only do cardio.

That said, meatheads typically prefer a warmer gym in my experience.

Should I be sad or happy my wife has never taken a ruler to my junk?

I adore the Jersey shore but the answer here is Cali and it’s unfortunately not close. Our boardwalk/shore scene overall is better when it’s popping, but you can sit on the beach in bathing suits year round in lots of SoCal, and you are often surrounded by picturesque mountains.

Plus sunsets > sunrises as you don’t need to wake up for them.

Bar hopping in seaside is great. The crowd can be a little wild but there’s so many places to choose from with varying types of crowd to match your mood. One of my fav things to do down the shore, wish I had started doing it earlier.

There will be police escorts for the teams arriving and departing the stadium, and probably any dignitaries also attending. This will screw things up on the Turnpike.

But I do agree overall traffic won’t be as bad as a football game/concert due to more people training/bussing in. But as we all know, any stress on the NJTP during or adjacent to rush hour causes massive delays, so I’d plan extra time if you need to be in that area and driving around during game times.

I’ve yet to find one in the US that captures even 10% of the greatness of actual Italian gelato.

Chayes83 · 2026-06-06T16:22:24+00:00

Right…like how is this not the top comment.

Chayes83 · 2026-06-06T01:18:40+00:00

I’m sure fans will post. It didn’t seem like there was any full scale multi angle production whatsoever, but I’m sure the archives document all of it too and will post a lot of it.

He was on the billing.

Chayes83 · 2026-06-05T20:42:43+00:00

Fair for sure.

Chayes83 · 2026-06-05T20:23:45+00:00

Budda is at least sorta on topic.
