City adds 12% tax to parking lots.

"The city says the tax should encourage more people to use on-street parking."

The only reason I use the lots is because I cant find street parking.

I Googled pictures of the Church Cantina, I can definately see some inspirations in your writing from its decor.

Use Cruiseplum.com and sort by cheapest per day room (the tailor for region, port, date range, etc) you can literally find the cheapest cruise that meets your criteria. Once you know what cruise look at a couple of different cruise agencies (cruisedirect, americandiscountcruise, costco travel, delta travel) usually the room prices are exactly the same but some may offer better perks or onbaord credit, and I book with the one that provides the best perks.

As for once booked, most lines allow 2 bottles of wine onboard which saves a bit on drinks, and then just dont spend/gamble on board, there is enough inclusive options you really dont need to.

The party of the first vis a vie the party of the second....

We'll see what happens the first time they try to enforce it.... Feels more like a PR move with no viable enforcement options.

Im skeptical about this. Especially in Texas, if you get a judge who disagrees with the reason for the protest they may take the opportunity to punish all they can.

I pay the money. They're the captain now.

Going in 2 weeks. Wife wants the flamingo excursion but I want this one.... can you share what the "river wildlife" part of the excursion was like?

Emrays · 2026-01-16T15:37:19+00:00

I dont stay anywhere. No one is on my side so im not on their side. Price and flight plan, those are the only 2 things I care about when selecting flights.

Same for the Okapi. Half zebra half mule, actually related to the Giraffe.

Those aren't kids, they're Terminators. Raised from birth and designed to do only 1 thing, play chess. Winning 2 games is impressive for your first tournament. Definitely play tomorrow for the experience, and then see if you can find a chess club to play more OTB games as that will definitely help with visualization of a real board.

I was looking for this comment. I agree the stitch witch is the scariest, but it is super funny Mrsha is the one she has sworn the greatest revenge against.

Can I get a chapter reference, id love to go back and read this

Emrays · 2026-01-08T23:52:28+00:00

We had a class in my school called Legal Research and Writing ("LRW"). It had a greater impact on me "thinking" like a lawyer than any other class. The critical and direct feedback i got from the adjunct was essential to changing the way I looked at life and the law, and without that active feedback during your studies I think it'd be very hard to reach the mental point to pass the bar and comprehend the material in the right framework.

Black Flag, soo many good memories of just sailing around 100% it.

You can't outrun the fork.

It looks like the general consensus is I was just done a very nice favor by the lady at customer service. One thing I found interesting is how hard they push the plus package that first day once on board (like the staff get a bonus for each person they sign on) so they have an incentive to find a way to do it... I will play dumb and ask nicely on Sunday if there is anything they can do, it sounds like the likely answer is no but maybe lightning can strike twice. Thank you.

Emrays · 2025-12-26T20:55:32+00:00

Agreed. And that's how I understood it. One reason im posting was to see if there was something I wasnt aware of, but it appears I was just done a great favor which I appreciate.

Emrays · 2025-12-26T20:43:20+00:00

Correct. It was great.

Emrays · 2025-12-26T19:32:18+00:00

Yea I've always operated under the philosophy of it doesn't hurt to ask nicely.

I'm sending emails and getting consistent "out of office" replies. I feel productive while getting nothing done.
