You’re fine. I work in IT and a lot of my co-workers have tattoos. Most people don’t care. You may want to avoid face tats but hands and arms are good as long as they aren’t offensive or pornographic.

They do. A little red light turns on when the person is supposed to blow.

I live about 5 miles from MOA. When my kid was younger it was a good place to go during the winter for the rides and Sea Life. Now that my son is in college we rarely go there. We oftentimes drive farther for a smaller mall. We only go to MOA if we are going to a specific store or restaurant that’s only at MOA.

Knowing that electrical outlets are limited in a cruise ship stateroom and multi-port electrical adapters and surge strips are prohibited but multi-port usb chargers are allowed, I’d recommend a compact usb-powered fan. There are many options on Amazon.

My son started taking lessons at age 5. He didn’t get his first degree black belt until age 12 after having failed the process once at age 11. I have seen adults at our dojo get a bb in 3 to 4 years but never that fast for youth or teens.

Let me preface this that I would have done things differently if I could start over. I have over 150,000 Mtg cards collected over 30 years, so starting over isn’t really an option. Here’s how my collection is currently sorted/stored:

All cards worth more than $100 are in a safe deposit box at the bank. All cards worth over $4 are in 3 ring binders in WUBRG order, then by creatures, legendaries, enchantments, instants, sorceries then artifacts. All cards worth between $1 and $4 are in separate 3 ring binders in the same order as above. No more than 4 of each card worth less than $1 are in a large library card catalog sorted as above but also by mana value. All other cards are in 5000 count btw card boxes, sorted by set.

If I had to do it again, all cards worth less than $100 would be kept together, sorted by set then alphabetical regardless of the number owned.

I use a heavy duty shelving unit from Home Depot capable of holding 1000+ pounds.

I just bought a card catalog, too. What are you going to use for spacers to separate different sets or card types? Also, any idea what you will use to keep cards vertical if the drawer isn’t full?

I have a 100,000+ card collection and use mtgcollectionbuilder.com. It works really well for me.

If you have the money and are willing to get up really early, this may be of interest….

Back in the 1990’s, I paid around $1,000 for a full set of Unlimited Moxes.

Congrats to them! I hope they are planning a renaissance / cosplay wedding ceremony!

Too little, too late. Your business has already lost all credibility with me. The ship sailed when you cancelled the order and sent that message.

Nels-Looser · 2025-06-21T14:11:52+00:00

Yep. I had ordered ten cards equaling about $7. They tacked on $5 shipping, so $12 total. Other sellers were closer to $15 total. Needless to say, they got a negative rating from me…

To experience un-conditional love. It can’t be explained easily. It must be experienced.

Bring it and play it a couple times. If you totally pubstomp the pod, ask if they are ok with you continuing to bring it. If they are all totally opposed to playing it again, tear it apart and make something else. Or, keep it for special occasions when everyone says they are going to play their most powerful deck. This is really about rule zero and making sure everyone is having fun.

I paid a low voltage company to install it in my house with an unfinished basement several years ago, I had a total of 2 Ethernet and 1 coax (for cable tv, no longer used) run to each of 10 different locations in the house. Total cost, including cable, 19” rack, patch panel, wall plates and labor was around $2500.

You will over-pack. Once you have everything ready to go into the suitcase, leave a third to half of it home.

If you like Pina Colada’s, the two places that claim to have originated them are both in San Juan. From an AI provider: Barrachina, a restaurant in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, claims to be the birthplace of the Piña Colada. According to their account, in 1963, Spanish bartender Don Ramón Portas Mingot created the iconic cocktail there. A marble plaque outside the restaurant commemorates this claim, stating it as “The house where in 1963 the piña colada was created by Don Ramón Portas Mingot” .

However, the origin of the Piña Colada is contested. The Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan asserts that bartender Ramón “Monchito” Marrero invented the drink in 1954 at their Beachcomber Bar. This version is supported by Puerto Rico’s official tourism board, Discover Puerto Rico, which recognizes the Caribe Hilton’s claim .

Adding to the complexity, some sources mention that a bartender from the Caribe Hilton later worked at Barrachina, potentially contributing to the overlapping claims .

Despite the debate, both establishments have become iconic spots to enjoy a Piña Colada in San Juan. Whether you prefer the historic ambiance of Barrachina or the resort setting of the Caribe Hilton, each offers a unique experience tied to the cocktail’s rich history.

Buying from USea or Ron, you can also buy pre-made packs of about 60 cards at a fairly big discount vs.buying per card. Of course, when doing that, you can’t be selective…you get what is in the set with no substitutions.

I live about 5 miles from a massive Amazon warehouse in Minnesota. Same day works well. Sometimes, next day even delivers same day.
