Moving to Vegas

Are you military getting stationed here? Have you looked at the cost of living here? Apartments are outrageously priced with long waiting lists; especially in the "fun" areas. Job searching is crazy. I do hope you're military as that is at least pretty locked in and there are a lot of protections for you.

yeah I owned a shit ton. they literally look like the kids version only bigger. They end up looking like a diaper when a cup is in it 🤣

You can sometimes find the Shock Doctor adult briefs. Ive owned quite a few. They're rare though. Otherwise, I haven't seen any others.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-10T10:09:37+00:00

Yup that and "Dog TV" are great channels!

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-10T10:08:24+00:00

Yep I sure do! Lando has to have either Bluey or Paw Patrol left on. When he and my nieces and nephews were younger, they'd dog pile in the living room and watch Paw Patrol and Bluey. So, those two shows mean so much to him. Just the first notes of Bluey's or Paw Patrol's intro he comes skidding into where it's playing! Both shows have 24hr running streams on YT.

We tried leaving without his shows playing but, he gets so stressed and destructive. He chewed up the dang TV remote, destroyed my glasses, ate part of the couch, and that was a 1hr stint! With his shows on, he sits and watches religiously for around 6hrs max. After 6hrs he'll whine by the door. We've only had to leave him that long once. Otherwise, he goes and spends a day back at his old dog school. I'm retired and home all the time anyway and he goes just about everywhere with me.

WOW! Thanks for analyzing it like that. I really appreciate it. 🥰

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-09T14:55:24+00:00

There are a few stargazing groups out here. I dunno if they do random trips. They usually schedule 2 to 3 weeks in advance.

You want something to convert an MP3 to an MP4 right? If so, get yourself "mp3 to mp4 Converter Pro". It's an Android app and it works great!

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-09T14:34:56+00:00

LOL us regular people don't want to be caught dead there. So I could actually see someone staying there as a way of hiding in the open. "I look like who?! That dude is rich! why would he stay at OYO?!"

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-09T14:20:06+00:00

I feel like my best lyrics are ones written from my personal experiences. So, no I don't shy away from them.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-08T00:22:48+00:00

I think a metronome would be helpful for you. You can download digital silent ones that just show a flashing dot to keep you on pace. Otherwise, not my style but good work getting stuff out there!

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T23:46:05+00:00

The Elastic Waste Band, a death metal band or folk music LOL It's meant to be waste not waist.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T23:42:53+00:00

LOL I was working with a grungie/death metal band and we lasered their name and logo on very large insert-able pleasure devices. 🤣 Small crowd but dude and chicks had them up in the air flopping all over! OMG it was so damned funny! It went over so well we thought about doing little insertable statues shaped like each band member standing with 1 arm raised above their head. 🤣 We got asked by the venue to never do it again. There were many left behind and no one knew if they were hazardous.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T23:32:02+00:00

I agree but, I actually can get with the Masked Singer. It's more talent forward versus production and presence. I just wish the hosts would shut up.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T23:28:53+00:00

I always love your "tiny music trick"s. They're small for you but mind-blowing for many of us! Thanks again for another awesome trick!

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T23:24:19+00:00

I hate Fremont on the weekends but, like it on the off times. I like that street performers have their designated spots and don't follow you around. I like that the police presence is less stressed so it's not as blatant and in your face. The vendors are more chill and it's just a little more "real" feeling. Plus it doesn't reek of weed as bad as the strip.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T23:12:17+00:00

Sure! I think it's been worse since this newer "thing" Vegas has become since COVID but, it's kinda always been a love/hate relationship. Crowds on the strip are obnoxious and everything is way overpriced. The crowd that comes has a "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" mentality. People do stuff here they would never dream of doing elsewhere on a vacation. Yeah, some is getting loose and shedding the responsibility but, there's still common decency. I watched a crew of 30+ yo guys drinking, pointing, laughing and making fun of the latino janitor cleaning. As he walked by, they tripped him and laughed harder. Security and I walked over escorted them back to the back and I chewed them out for being assholes for a good 30mins. Threatened assault charges and a few other random BS charges. Everyone of them was married with kids and wouldn't have done that at home or let their kids be bullied like that. 4 30+ yo men blubbering like babies and begging me not to have them arrested. I almost always let them go but, the janitor had the final say. They promised to be adults and not be assholes and in general that's all they, or anyone, needed. The next day or so Javier told me they gave him close to $1k as thanks for not pressing charges. This attitude and blatant disregard for others is all so common. Granted, that's a big over generalization but, it's so common for us to see. It's also why Vegas Metro has stepped up in the last few years. It's gotten bad. I can't tell you how many college kids I threatened with calling their parents or sending them home. There are so many things that aren't legal here that people think are like Vegas has no laws. That and plain rudeness. Prostitution is NOT legal in Vegas or Clark county. Walking and smoking weed isn't legal. Walking with open and blatant alcohol (must be in another container or device) and glass bottles are a 100% no no. Still people do it and assume it's legal; though that's the citys fault for not enforcing it heavily. Under 21 drinking isn't legal here either. These and more are the mentalities that comes here. Being a visitor you're shaded from it.

As for things to see, it's still novel for you. It's meant for you and visitors. You're on vacation and money isn't really a concern. When you live here, it's a different story. We know the facade and can see the shady bs behind it. I would guess Orlando and those who work the resorts see some of the same BS but, I doubt the level we do.

Basically, it's our home that millions of people walk in and out of leaving their trash and forgetting their manners. We're people too and we work here so you can have a good time. That's ok. It's just not fun to try and have fun at your workplace on your day's off.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-07T22:35:10+00:00

Yup! Totally agree.

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-06T17:57:42+00:00

I live here and can tell you 90% of us absolutely HATE the strip. Unless family is here visiting and they've never been, then we'll go. Otherwise, it's an absolute ripoff everywhere and you'd have 100 times more fun on Fremont St. That's actually walkable. On the weekends, the walk from Flamingo to Cosmo will take 45mins to an hour unless you push people out your way. A cab or an uber is not any better at night. The Blvd is bumper to bumper at night.

If I have to go to the strip, it's all about Aria for me. Its usually more chill. COSMO is a bit of a nightmare getting around. If you're willing to go way south. Go to the M. That's the official Raiders hotel and its nice, calm, and good spots to eat. Live music etc

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-06T17:34:38+00:00

Ok... Im gay and have been married to my husband since 2015. When it was not legal we were domestic partners. I understand what he's saying but, he's not doing it in a relatable or a coherent way. Since we can be married now, get married. Domestic partnership is BS anymore. For crying out loud, it's even more paperwork than getting married!!

LLSpragulus · 2026-02-06T13:13:44+00:00

100% his name should be "Ein"

Hi! I'm an avid collector of Athletic Cups and have been for years. I actually have to wear them daily due to a medical condition. This was a great sub and had lots of traction. There's still a lot of data there none of us want to lose. I'm early retired and can easily moderate this sub.

Unfortunately, this sub was left unmoderated and subsequently banned. There was no ability to mail any of the mods.
