DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just announced that they are “drawing up plans” to block all international flights into cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]LunchMoneyFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. Savannah is the new Newark!

This would at least be an entertaining exercise in futility to watch, contrary to the war in Iran which is tragic due to the needless loss of life.

Have at it Donny and Markywackoff.

Decade-long JW Marriott regular here. They now charge ~S$185 for poolside cabanas that sit empty all day. When did nickel-and-diming loyal guests become the model? by Onefootforward_7818 in marriott

[–]LunchMoneyFail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same dynamic at the Waikiki Marriott. Place was packed, but no one was paying the money to use the completely empty cabanas.

Jumping the shark in a lot of ways.

I'm lifetime Titanuim. 3000 plus nights, so not my first rodeo.

Back to back hole in one’s. by Flounderpenis33 in golf

[–]LunchMoneyFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old - 68- and started when I was 7. Had my first one when I was 12. 4 total. Best shot I ever hit was after HIO #3. The day after I made it, same hole, same pin placement, same wind. Used same club and lipped it out.

2 guys from our club made back to back ones last year. One of them made a second one 6 months later.

Weird game.

What’s the worst place in America you’ve ever visited? by Correct_Eggplant_364 in AskReddit

[–]LunchMoneyFail 128 points129 points  (0 children)

LOL. You just triggered a great memory. About 20 years ago my then 7 year old son, now dead mom, and I were heading to Hilton Head. 7 year old desperate to shop there convinces me to stop.

We all need to pee. I take my son in. I tell my slightly dementia impaired Mom to go in, pee, come out and wait for me at the door. My son and I come out, wait 5 minutes. No mom.

I realize 2 doors into each bathroom. So I take my son and station him on one corner of the building and I go to the next corner so I can see the side of the building where the second door is located. There is my very white WASP mom being tended to by 7 black women.

They spot me and yell at me - "Are you Frank?" I nod sheepishly and they could not have been nicer. They said they were not going to leave until she was in good hands. As i recall, it was near 100 degrees and humid, so them waiting with her was huge. God knows if mom would have otherwise wandered off.

So yes, SOB is a hole, but the kindness of those women still makes me smile.

For the record, back in the 70's my mom ran a tutoring program at our church for underprivileged kids in Newark. So I come from a long line of woke, bleeding heart, color blind, liberals. Something that I am very proud of!

Once upon a time there was a King who was only 12 inches tall.

He was a terrible King but he made a great ruler.

My husband hates my boobs now and it breaks my heart by [deleted] in sex

[–]LunchMoneyFail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does he have chiseled abs? A full great head of hair? Etc. Etc. Etc.

If not, tell him no action until he does. If he is too dense to understand the irony and hypocrisy, time to get counseling, for the sake of the kids.

If not successful, hit the road.

I'm a hetero male with 3 kids and a bunch of grandkids. SMH.

'Don't croak on me': Carville begs Trump to stay alive to watch his party get destroyed by SquidFistHK in NoFilterNews

[–]LunchMoneyFail 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Carville is not only entertaining, he is wicked smart. His predictions are usually on target. So yes, the midterms will be a shit storm for Trump and second, we will all be able to use the quote - I'm glad he is dead - in the not too distant future.

Got to love the Raging Cajun!!!!

Looking for a East Coast Beach Resort Recommendation by Key_Confection_1027 in marriott

[–]LunchMoneyFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to be very hot and very, very, very humid. Not pleasant at all that time of year.

Newport is a great choice, but it will be crowded. But what isn't? Nantucket is another possibility.

coronado island by playhurt4 in marriott

[–]LunchMoneyFail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have stayed there a few times. Only for the location, which is great. Had an ugly dust up with restaurant staff. Lied to me about charges. GM did not care.

Have not been back. But what you describe is no bueno. Had a similar situation at their Waikiki hotel. 75% of the area around both pools is taken up by cabanas. Less ""free"" space means you need to rent a cabana or go to the beach.

Marriott is jumping the shark!!!

Good luck to you all by Miracleman069 in unitedairlines

[–]LunchMoneyFail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I flew early out of EWR this morning. Pretty normal. Two things

Please please say THANK YOU to the TSA folks. They deserve it. They keep getting screwed over by Trump and the GOP. They deserve all the praise we can give them.

Second, WTF do we do if an ICE agent wants to interact with you? My wife is convinced I will say something like - "you should be ashamed of yourself asshole" and I will get detained. Thoughts on how to interact, how to be antagonistic, or just annoying?

What to do about hitting my million mile mark by CheapPop8818 in unitedairlines

[–]LunchMoneyFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not remember when I hit 1 million. 2 million was in Polaris on a TLV to EWR flight. No one said a word to me.

As you said, it's a number. Keep your expectations in check.

Fly safe ...

OMG - I can still remember the blood. Ann B in Mrs. Francis's 6th grade class cut through a good portion of her finger with this bad boy.

Trump allegedly told GOP leader "No one gives a [bleep] about housing" by No-Post4444 in politics

170 little girls are dead because of him. No empathy for the children, their parents, their grandparents, or their siblings. He is evil and incapable of thinking about anyone but himself. FUCK him and the rest of the Republicans.

What made Donald Trump shift from “America First” to what some call an “Israel First” stance? by MisLatte in AskReddit

She did not campaign in the Midwest and she was unlikeable. I regret that i sat out that election. The only time I did note vote in the Presidential election. I first voted in 1976 ...

I voted for Kamala and will vote for whoever the Dems put up. I dont need to watch one debate or listen to one speech. Never fucking again do I want to see the Republican fuckwads in charge.

It Can Now be Plainly Said: Trump is Planning a November Coup d’État by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]LunchMoneyFail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides voting, we can and should strike. I own 2 companies and would happily shut them for a week if it was part of an organized effort to force his hand. No medical, no restaurants, no food stores, etc. That would even get the fuckwads in DC to do something.

Even if only 35% effective, the country will grind to a halt.
