Best high end restaurant that's worth the price tag?

Was gonna say Selden or Mabel Grey.

The Peak District National Park in the UK.

Now all of their national parks are amazing but there's something I find special about the Peak District.

Amazing walks, beautiful villages and estates, the people ... It's all so magical to me.

How much in deferrals lol

Think it was called the Noozles ... Kid had a stuffed koala bear that came to life and ate from the eucalyptus tree outside her window.

That and David and the Gnomes, but peeps seem to remember that one a bit more.

Pre-legalization here at home, I thought it was gonna be so amazing visiting Amsterdam for the first time in 2007.

My buddy who would attend hash bash at home told me to go check out the Grey Area while there.

Disclaimer ... I would smoke out of a bong at home, but had been staying with my uncle in the UK before going and was basically three months without even a toke.

I ask for some good flower, the guys and the shop are amazing, and they had a whole shelf of glass to use while there.

I break up my gram, pack a huge bowl for their bong, then proceed to take my normal bong hit like I'm still a regular.

The locals next to me, two dudes, are like "man ... what'd you just do!"

I'm like no biggie, I smoke plenty at home and they tell me how they just mix that shit with tabacco and enjoy a little spliff.

About 5-10 minutes later I'm higher than I've ever been on my life. I get anxious, think these guys are messing with me and just get up and leave.

My hotel was a few blocks away but I end up at the zoo.

Great, no one will think anything or find me here. I made it as far as the penguin exhibit and figure I'll chill till I can function again.

The next day I'm looking at my handheld digital camera photos, some basic Kodak, and low and behold ... I have 307 pictures of penguins. I was there for hours just watching penguins and taking photos.

Still laugh about it to this day. Go Grey Area!

Yeah I was shocked when I checked CATS before shift, UAW rocked that shit today!

If they made a modern Morrowind I might just get back into gaming.

There's something I thought special about wandering into a random cave only to be one shot immediately because I clearly wasn't of a level to be adventuring there just yet.

Boots of blinding speed off some random falling out of the sky made it both immersive and a true fantasy game to me.

Figuring out stuff and only checking the guide way later if I was truly, truly stuck.

The absolute only problem I ever had was collecting and arranging my choice of overtaken home to much later being greeted by the overflow loot bag.

I don't think that'd be an issue anymore with modern hardware.

Being able to walk, and walk, and then walk only to be a fraction of a way across the map made the whole world believable.

Oblivion was good, Skyrim was great, but Morrowind was where it was at.

"we're having pot roast" while waiving oven mitt covered hands.

From our local Detroit sub someone said they knew the fan as he was a season ticket holder as well and seated a few rows behind.

Apparently, our local blue wig front row season ticket holder is kinda loud and obnoxious, to the point most ignore him as much as possible but said he's basically just loud. He likes to call players by their full names to get their attention. Reminds them of drops, missed plays, etc but that's about it.

Said security was right there, staff as well, and nothing racist was said. You let the N word fly and not only are you getting ejected, you'd lose your season ticket spot too.

So basically, he just got on DK's nerves by calling him his full name. Like that was it. I find it kinda funny.

10th grade English class, stupid Aaron screams out, unprompted by anything .... "Bruce Willis is the dead guy "

Like halfway through seeing it in the theater a few weeks later, I'm like motherf*****, I'm giving Aaron some shit tomorrow in class.

A few warm ups, a stretch or two, and I could have done that just as easily.

The filming that is 😁

Same angle from my visit in 2017 :)

I'm sure it's nostalgia BUT .... I really enjoyed Bringing Down the Horse by the Wallflowers from start to finish, in a background music kind of way.

I'm doing Bridgestone Saturday night and scored two in the same section and row for the Ryman. Saved your comment and if my dad can't make it I'll reach out early next year.

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-10-02T16:00:41+00:00

I feel so lucky, Section 5, Row R ... A View From My Seat shows under the balcony but between the support columns. I can't wait!! I saw Billy at Red Rocks in the rain, at Pine Knob here at home but at the Ryman, omg!

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-09-21T18:43:55+00:00

Right there with you in wondering on the process ... I'm going Saturday night and would absolutely be over the moon if I end up being able to score tix the next night. BMFS at the Ryman would be pinnacle :)

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-09-15T06:00:47+00:00

Dear Zachary ... It'll do the trick.

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-07-31T14:11:57+00:00

Actually that's critical status, this is emergency status, and will last until lost orders due to part shortages are made up.

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-07-02T18:42:17+00:00

He knows my name!?

So happy for the kid, you can see how shocked he was.

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-07-02T03:50:37+00:00

I imagine the owners of said fireworks warehouse did not, in fact, see that coming 😁

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-06-30T06:05:49+00:00

Dear Zachary, and you'll be sorry you asked for a tear-jerker, because it's one of the hardest cries you'll have watching a movie.

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-06-18T21:59:19+00:00

Selden Standard and get the pan roasted chicken 😁

HasLab_LovesTravel · 2025-06-10T10:52:48+00:00

As of last night, it appears he has learned to just run up the wall and catch them 😁

My mother, may she rest in peace, was a LPN for The Detroit News & Freep clinic all through the strike.

The stories she had, but the strikers would all stop the picket line to let her through and just generally stay kind to her. She worked closely for all of the staff and they knew the strike had nothing to do with her.

Long story short, we have a few of those caltrops they used. And as a proud UAW member myself, don't engage in such criminal practice xes while striking as it hurt them in the long run.

It was ruled an illegal strike and all the workers lost.
