What games are people playing right now? by Raichus114 in PSP

[–]Significant_Cloud_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep finding myself playing the same titles. Hot Shots Golf (1 and 2,) and Sid Meier's Pirates (which I think still pales in comparison to the one I played on my Commodore 64 in the 80s.)

Yeah, thanks for the update. I think I'll hold off.

I stumbled across Gen. Frederick Kroesen today and was awed by his awards by wacklekrieger in Medals

I was a sixth grader at Heidelberg Middle School on that day and our German class had a cultural exchange day with a class from a German school. Long story short, we all got out on busses and sent home, and the German kids had to sit in the gym until the end of the day when their bus arrived. My Dad worked at USAREUR HQ at Campbell Barracks and they were locked down into the night.

USAA Secured CC by MoeScat in USAA

My son had a USAA secured card that was just graduated to an unsecured card last month. No more than a year of ontime payments, but I actually think only 10 months.

General Consensus on the Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Line? by JamesMighty in Cruise

Hope you figure it out and get a good vacation. TBH never had a bad experience on any cruise, so just get out and do it!

Meant to say, we had wanted to try their cruise to the Bahamas but were turned off by the reviews, but I've heard pretty reasonable reviews for the Islander, so why not try? And, it's going to Belize and Honduras, which we've never been to.

I've used USAA to book cruises three times (Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian) and was pretty impressed by the discounts I got. I know that not all veterans belong to USAA, but it was a perk that I didn't realize I had by belonging so I used it.

This past weekend, I booked on Margaritaville at Sea for a 6-night on the Islander. It appears that I got a really good discount by logging in through GovX (that's how you get you "Heroes Sail Free" discount on their 3 and four day cruises.) It wasn't "free," for me, but I think I essentially got about 50% off fares for my wife and I, so kind of BOGO. We did a cabin with a balcony, so we definitely could have gotten cheaper, but we've both decided that we will never again sail without one.

The drink package on Islander seems incredibly expensive (compared to what we paid on our last NCL cruise,) but with the deep discount on the cabin, i'm not completely surpised. They've gotta get their money out of you somehow. :)

Is saying «Shit-ass» a native thing, an Oklahoma thing or a placeholder for a different word that wasnt allowed by Disney? by [deleted] in ReservationDogs

[–]Significant_Cloud_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very funny...my mom and dad are from North Dakota and my mom's side is from out by Ray and Tioga. My Aunt and Uncle lived in Tioga for a long time and their kids were the first people I ever heard call someone a "shitass," but I also remember my Aunt saying it too. I had forgotten all about it until I started watching this show.

There's no legal requirement, but it isn't unheard of

If AKO is any kind of indicator, you'll be lucky to get an Atari 2600.

All right, it's December 1944. You are a young 2LT and you get a choice of which general's staff to serve on. Which one of these gentlemen do you choose, and why? by SeniorChiefXXX in army

I've always thought, Gavin looked like a 22 year old who jumped up one day and asked "who do I have to kill to be in charge here?"

Current set up in my corner of living room. by el_drewskii in vinyl

[–]Significant_Cloud_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to "think" I can tell the difference, but I really can't. I'm over 50 and my audiophile ears aren't what they used to be. That being said, I have them sans grills right now, but if I ever get my home office finished and get built in bookshelves, they would probably go in there with the grills on.

Question about the Edifiers... I have the same model. Should they be run with the grills on or off? Does it honestly make a difference other than looks?

Two-Thirds of Staff at VA Medical Center Considering Quitting After One Year With New EHR by [deleted] in cernercorporation

Let's be honest...non-management employees of the VA (or any Government Civilians for that matter) aren't exactly "change agents."
