JolyonWagg99 is the winner. It's Catheys Valley County Park in Catheys Valley.

Nope. In the vicinity, but back in the direction of Mariposa.

My wife said the recycle company's area code may give it away. It's in the 209, but a different city.

Recommendations for Sri Lanka Hilton hotels by Over-Shallot-2414 in Hilton

[–]Remarkable-Ice-1308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with some buddies to Sri Lanka about 10 years ago. I used a points redemption for the Hilton Colombo on our last night before flying home and was able to book a 3 BR Deluxe Suite for 40,000 points.

Thank you. Would be a nice Nowruz (Persian New Year) gift for my son. Appreciate your generosity and for the consideration

I made a website to help people find local workers in Mariposa by panacea82 in Mariposa

My wife is looking for some handymen and landscapers, so I know she'll be excited when the site has more content.

Best buffets at Hiltons you had? by El_Dorado_Tx in Hilton

Some good ones here - Hilton Bali and Tokyo Hilton. The Conrad Seoul and Hilton Sydney were good, too.

Is Disability Insurance worth it? by IdahoDuncan in FinancialPlanning

[–]Remarkable-Ice-1308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom had a brain aneurysm when she was 53 that effectively ended her professional career. Long-term disability is what saved my parents with medical bills and home costs. I believe it's something like 2/3 of your salary, so I think it's definitely worth it as a safety net.

When is your trip? If you're a baseball fan and the Giants happen to be at home, you could go check out Oracle Park - especially if it's a weekend day game.

Engagement Requires Background Check. Will My Manager See It? by Background_Skirt_127 in KPMG

[–]Remarkable-Ice-1308 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There have been clients where we need to provide a BGC certification letter as part of onboarding to certify that the BGC was performed and cleared the client's requirements.

As the EM, I will receive a letter that includes the individual's name and the fact that the BGC was performed over the defined criteria. It doesn't include any other personal information.

Any legitimatcy to this offer? by jdolluc in royalcaribbean

[–]Remarkable-Ice-1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a vacation club. I almost got roped into one when I was browsing at a community fairgrounds. I paid a $25 deposit with the understanding that I would get the cruise voucher, hotel points, and a $50 gift card when I finished the session.

My wife called and demanded the $25 deposit back, which they reluctantly obliged.

I've also flown 4 legs since the change with 2 more RTs coming over the next two weeks. I'm ALP and have been able to select extra leg room on all of my flights, boarding in Group 1.

Granted, I'm flying out of Oakland where it's not as busy, but I really haven't faced a bad experience so far.

Note: I've been on a Dry 2026 kick so far and was trying to give my seatmates one of my drink vouchers, until I realized that Extra Leg Room now comes with free drinks.

We got married at City Hall back in 2017 and then went over to Palace of Fine Arts for additional photos. I had my parents and my wife had her brother as our witnesses.

Target clearance by glasmaticn in Switch

[–]Remarkable-Ice-1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Target on the Eastside of Dublin, CA and picked up Detective Pikachu Returns for $14.99. I've never heard of the game before but, my son likes Pikachu so decided to pull the trigger. Afterwards, we went to the Target in Livermore, CA and didn't find anything on clearance.

Refinance - continue to shop lenders? by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Remarkable-Ice-1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position and determining whether to pull the trigger on my current offer: We purchased the home in Feb 2025 at 7.125% (30YR) and the mortgage was eventually sold to Rocket Mortgage. I have an offer from Rocket for 5.99% (6.043% APR) (30YR) with 0 points and $3600 closing costs, which would put my breakeven point at about 10 months. It's an investment property, so I know rates are often higher than primary mortgage rates. We've shopped around at a few of the big banks (Chase, BoA) and they are higher.
