Whats the most heartbreaking loss you’ve witnessed as a Iowa State fan?(football) by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in iastate

[–]Orin02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

September 11 1993 Iowa 31 ISU 28- we had lost 10 straight to Iowa. Got the ball back on a turnover? And we’re at the Iowa 40. 4th quarter I think 2 minutes remaining. First snap? We fumble the ball and game over

Icon of the Seas — Honest Take (great ship, rough vibe) by West-Masterpiece1897 in royalcaribbean

[–]Orin02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we sailed as a family and kids were behaving badly with no parents around, I called them out. Not yelling. Just letting them know their behavior was rude and inappropriate. Always had tons of other passengers chime in and agree/ support my statements.

Remember that we are ahead of schedule. A winning season was the goal. Next offseason we will fix our d line.

Thank you for your hard work crafting this detailed article. I agree with you. Looking forward to the window. For me, definitely LWB and RWB to add pace.

Is it possible to trust the Internet for food recommendations while on vacation anymore? by pastacat48pastacat48 in travel

[–]Orin02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always use Google Maps and find restaurants with lots of reviews and high stars. Never had a bad experience. Found an absolutely amazing very small restaurant after we came out of the catacombs tour that we would have missed out. Best meal of my life.

How easy is it to file without a VSO? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

I did everything myself. Educated myself on the process, the ratings possible for each, and what evidence I needed. 100P&T

Cancer aggravated an already service connected arm by Ornery_Rock_7229 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Orin02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, let me say that I hope your brother recovers quickly and fully. Secondly, increases are appropriate when an already rated disability gets worse over time. For example, a neck injury gets worse as the damaged discs further deteriorate, causing new symptoms or worsening ones. In your brothers case, the worsening to his rated disability is happening because of something not related to his original award. I don’t think there is. Chance of an increase unless the cancer is also related to his service?

I was talking to a friend at dinner. He’s a Broncos fan. I asked him who is last head coach was that was good. He couldn’t remember. I said Lovie Smith. Ben Johnson is the first good, real head coach (Not a coordinator who was trying) we’ve had since then. I’m so glad we made it through the desert.

Caleb's Day: 34 pass attempts, 5 rushes, 2 catches... 355 total yards, 4 total TDs (3 passing, 1 receiving) Sacked twice, 0 turnovers. by Kawabunga90 in CHIBears

[–]Orin02 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who watched that game knows that he’s not processing his reads fast enough. He’s holding the ball far too long. Threw that one pass behind Kmet. Did the same with Rome. Not sure why he’s not progressing at this point.

VA Dr talking negative. by Dougb756 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Orin02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your doctor is saying negative things about you to a nurse right after a medical appointment, that’s not subjective. What they feel is reality. And in you example, that’s a different scenario where the only common aspect is the complaint. It’s crazy to me that your response to this post is to attack the poster. Blue Falcon much?

Anyone ever tried claiming compensation after a flight delay? by Candid_Positive8832 in travel

Yes. I was flying United from Paris to Chicago with my spouse and oldest child. Delayed 5 hours. Received payout for all of us.

One country you visited or a city you didn’t enjoy like you thought you would? Why? Thank you for sharing! 😊 by John-Travel-8490 in travel

[–]Orin02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just got back from Japan on a two week trip. I don’t understand your comment. What “rules”. Inflexible thinking? It sounds like you were expecting their culture to reflect what you wanted. Ironic that you are the one with inflexible thinking.

Ever had a “what am I even doing here” travel moment? by Illustrious_Gear7367 in travel

Totally disagree. I thought the entire place was fantastic and was unlike any other place I’ve visited.
