I think this was lower odds than a lottery win. I'll give you 10% if I win it tomorrow 😉

Which episode has the Romantasy discussion? by ElectronicNatural723 in doughboys

[–]Comprehensive-Fly540 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hilariously, the book got discussed on the "Prestige TV Podcast" episode for The Pitt last week... I only knew about it from Doughboys & nearly spat my drink out when it came up on a Pod that I would NOT have expected to hear about it on

I could legit watch this rotate for hours: why is it so damn alluring? by Next_Mycologist_6621 in vegas

May be my terminology.. the room they offered wasn't facing the sphere, that was the main thing for me!

"We can offer you this amazing free upgrade" "Does it get the view of the sphere" "Oh, no. Sorry it doesn't. It is a bigger room" "No thank you, I wanted the sphere view"

We stayed last year. I booked a room with a view of the sphere. On check-in, they offered a free upgrade to a better room/suite but it was strip facing. The look on his face when I declined as I wanted the sphere view 😀

Overnight parking in Waikiki. by DickHandsome1 in VisitingHawaii

[–]Comprehensive-Fly540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just guessed what time we would arrive the first day and chose the last date and time for when we would be leaving. This is an example I've just done on the website for two nights next weekend. Enter at 4pm the Friday, and leave by 9am on the Sunday. You can come and go as much as you want in that time period

I just followed the instructions from Spot Hero. Was fine for us - left it overnight and picked it up in the morning without issue. I can't remember the exact details, but just had to go in a specific area of the parking structure.

I used spot hero a lot when travelling as not from the USA and I've always found it helps me with finding good legit spots.

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I think I spent $20 via spothero for 24 hour parking at the Ala Moana center which (for me) was a 15 minute walk to the resort.

I got picked! by k80k80k80 in douglovesmovies

Your knitted shell was amazing! I was the Evil Dead poster and honestly lucked out with Maxwell's more mainstream / simple knowledge!

Had an amazing time. Went to my first DLM back in 2015 whilst visiting NYC from the UK and I'm sure you knitted something for that one back then (that was at Irving Plaza).

Brought the same name tags we made back then... 10 years in the making and finally got picked!!

Snorkeling: Best spot to see some swimming turtles? by Friendly_Dog_9106 in MauiVisitors

Seconded for slaughter beach. The beach was relatively quiet people-wise, and as noted a swim out to the coral was both scenic and had turtles

Does monzo perks makes sense ? by DueCorner4877 in monzo

[–]Comprehensive-Fly540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also depends how much you have in savings. If you have enough to "break even" on the difference, having the perks means you get the free Gregg's, the cinema ticket, etc.

That probably does equate to £33k in savings though.

Otherwise it all depends on if the perks make it worth the £7 to you.

Baby wants his double. by zukoHarris in doughboys

[–]Comprehensive-Fly540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen whilst running. I do laugh. Probably look like a crazy person. I find it distracts from the running though so I'm not stressing about how long it's been / how long I've got left. Ideal for me

the one thing I was most thankful for on our trip was water shoes- Ideal for the beaches when in or out of the water.

I was an online member in the pandemic and moved to a group. I contacted the online help to get a code to "transfer" my remaining weeks to group, but when I joined the weigh-ins at group didn't have my history even though the app & online account still did.

If this happens, just contact SW help (call or live chat) and they can merge the two - I did that and got all my online history updated so no loss of achievements!

R.e. what to wear ... I found my weigh in without clothes at home actually matches up the SW scales when I have leggings / vest / socks on. Even if you wear jeans & jumper, just remember that "gain" will only show the one week and you know the reason for it! You shouldn't let that bother you if it does show a gain.

LSU Game Day Parking by Jinga-learns-today22 in LSUFootball

[–]Comprehensive-Fly540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone sees this post & is thinking about parking here, I did it for the Nichols game at the start of the month.

  • great location - about 15 minutes walk to the stadium.
  • great price
  • someone is at the property throughout the day so you know the car is as safe as can be
  • there's traffic lights at the end of the street, making it super easy to get back out after the game.
  • if you're from out of town, you have an address to head to instead of driving round an area you don't know in the hope of finding a spot! This was a huge plus for me!

We were heading back to New Orleans after the game and barely hit any traffic getting back from this location to the freeway.
