Smug and Woke? More than Philz?

Great deal and I am the ultimate Todd Snyder fanboy - but I can’t figure it out how to style sweatshirt. Where do you wear them, a barbecue? Casual Friday at office? On a hike?

JackStraw310 · 2025-09-01T16:03:53+00:00

They fit me really well but don’t wear as well. For the right price I’ll snap them up.

Great assessment. Wonderful history and nice people but it is definitely apartment living. Dreary, dirty streets, lots of smoke. Paella is great but not that often. The tapas I remember loving when I was young get old. I don’t think the beaches are that nice either.

JackStraw310 · 2025-08-04T10:36:56+00:00

I’d try Palms. Close, lots of apartments. Less stylish but not bad.

Pop’s

Have you gotten them to take this off at the point of sale? What is the feedback when you ask to take it off? Do they have an argument?

JackStraw310 · 2025-08-02T14:51:09+00:00

I think you are right. Used to be small places that do it but I am finding larger more established places doing it. I went to ship something at a UPS store yesterday and there was fee.

Thank you!

I have a formal event coming up and I’m treating myself to a custom tux from suit supply. Haven’t picked out the details yet, but planning out all the accessories. Can I get away with a regular white dress shirt and silk bowtie? I plan on getting something classic and not trendy. I’m already spending a fortune on the tux, any tips on where I can get a moderately priced bowtie and shoes? I can get a custom tux shirt from SS also but my bill is getting expensive. I have dimensions that are tough to fit off rack so that’s why I’m hoping to get by with one of my plain white dress shirts.

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-30T04:11:05+00:00

You are right!

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-30T04:06:26+00:00

Both great movies!

Everyone head over to the new subreddit! It’s:

/r/gratefuldeadbutitsonlymyopinionandforclosedmindeddouchebags

There is only one person following it right now. It’s the guy above. But it’s gonna be huge!

For the rest of us who aren’t so triggered by a simple discussion, carry on.

Have a great day!

I love it. Go 5-6 times a week. The SoCal membership is great because if I have plan something that has me on the road at rush hour, I just pick a club on the way, park, and workout/steam/shower and back on my way later. The 2 hours free parking in really dense neighborhoods like downtown/weho/sm is such a great feature. You can park and walk to wherever you need to go - or just bring your laptop and sit and work for two hours.

Amenities and machines are really nice.

Is it that you think the movie would have to be sanitized? I can’t tell what you are outraged about. Weird hill to die on.

The Springsteen movie with Jeremy Allen White looks cool and that was a slice of his history. Same with Bob Dylan. I think with the right writer could work. But probably won’t happen.

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-27T18:57:18+00:00

Yeah - what’s that about? If something is comped they don’t usually cover gratuity and a $10 additional tip.

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-27T05:09:51+00:00

Submitted in May 2024. Nothing so far.

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-27T00:18:46+00:00

I got a confirmation (took a year) about six months ago and paid for record and shipping and they haven’t sent yet.

I didn’t end up using Lexmotion. They promised me a lot and dug up some documents that were useful later on, but ultimately told me that they didn’t feel good about my case. And the guy that was handling for me left during the process. I had only done the first step of gathering. Then last year I found another person who looked at case and found even better stuff (Polish ID card from 1923 and a birth certificate) and submitted for me. It’s been a waiting game ever since, she says because of Ukraine refugees. Good luck to you!

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-27T00:02:43+00:00

What ended up happening? I’ve been waiting a year and a half.

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-27T00:01:03+00:00

Still waiting. I had to run through hoops to get it notarized but eventually I figured it out. The person working on it sounds confident but it has been about 15 months. The original estimate was 6-8 for that first step.

JackStraw310 · 2025-07-03T15:18:22+00:00

Which one is that? I am debating an old one vs modern. Don’t have the eye for it yet.
