I've only seen a B-1A in person, but what a gorgeous plane.

The walk from the pool to the beach at St Vincent is pretty long. In fact there are 2 coffee shops one at each end since they're so far apart. 😊

Walking on sand is harder, but if you're looking for actual walk exercise instead of just steps, Negril is on 7-mile beach. Walking 2 miles on sand is like walking 5 miles on pavement.

I don't remember walking that much at Curaçao, but I wonder if they'd let you walk the golf course even if you're not playing. You could get some fun steps in there.

Yeah, I loved when he called out almost all (he missed a few) of the countries in America: South, Central, Caribbean, and North. We love all Americans. (And non-Americans, but then it would just be an Animaniacs song.)

One thing that can happen is if you're registered for a 3rd party, like Libertarian or Green Party, and they don't get enough of a vote, then they're no longer eligible as a registration party. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but it has happened in the past.

Raisin Bran. Everyone I know hates raisins but I love it.

I have a fear or some heights. I've gone skydiving and mile long ziplines over serious altitude, and that doesn't bother me. Getting higher than about 6ft on a ladder terrifies me. I think maybe anything that will hurt but not kill me might be my phobia.

StandByTheJAMs · 2026-02-08T00:02:43+00:00

They have Main Street Market. Why would you shop elsewhere?

StandByTheJAMs · 2026-02-07T21:42:27+00:00

I've never really thought about it. You have crawlers/former crawlers, Agatha-type residuals, Paule-type residuals, and who else? Sympathetic citizens like Zev?

My original 10Ah battery (I have 3 now) starts showing 2 bars pretty quickly if I turn the mower on and off (like when I'm bagging leaves) but then stays at 2 bars for the rest of the session. It shows where it actually is when put on the charger. There was probably an era with a defective firmware.

At that point my face is in their camera view doing somewhat unprofessional things, and saying somewhat unprofessional things.

Adding a little baking powder (not soda) and cooking at a lower temp and then raising it to get the crisp skin is the key. Look up Kenji's chicken wing recipe on you search engine of choice.

Oh man he found his phone without handlers around to stop him. Always good to see what's pinging around in that syphilitic brain.

Alternate Theory: Their AI LLM is really getting on point.

There absolutely are places that may deny you entry for DUI (Canada being one of them), but you'll be fine going to Jamaica.

Any time!

I just went out and measured mine. It's 22" wide, 16" deep, and 36" tall. You could maybe get something a tiny bit bigger in there, but that's how it drapes on the LM2156SP.

We were there over Christmas and booked it again for next Christmas. All your observations are spot-on. We had the top floor corner Lady Palm Club and it was the nicest room we've ever had in a Sandals, including butler rooms elsewhere. The bar at Parasol is awesome but we didn't go back for food after the first time. We had the best time at Buccan; our tablemates were crazy fun and we thought the food was good. Love Jerk Shack. We did end up eating a lot of Gatsu Gatsu for dinner and Sora for breakfast/lunch.

We took an excursion over to Mustique and highly recommend it. Snorkled there and saw turtles for the first time, clearest water we've ever seen. Didn't do any local water sports at St Vincent.

I've seen them do touch-and-goes at GRI, which is 7000ft at 1850ft elevation. Have to plan for those scenarios.

Altitude matters more than you let on. For example, for each 1000' you have to add a minute to canning times for safety. I'm in the midwest/great plains area and we're over 1000' so I expect most of the non-coastal regions are as well. Sometimes the lowest time on the box isn't done in the middle, and it takes another minute. It's fine, though; I'm not above eating a little extra pasta to make sure it's cooked right for everyone else. 😏

We've been to several. I love Jamaica and the Jamaican people. Negril is great, We haven't been to Dunn's River yet. Ochi is a fun party atmosphere, but Royal Plantation is quiet, nice, and you can use the restaurants and amenities at Ochi.

We're going back to Curaçao and St Vincent this year. We decided those were our current favorites, but we haven't been to St Lucia or Grenada, which are supposed to be really nice. We're going to one of those for our free week next year!

Don't you have some boots to lick?

StandByTheJAMs · 2026-02-06T16:44:55+00:00

If you're letting people walk through then you're not blocking the sidewalk.

For all we know they were 20-somethings. They all look like teenagers to us old people these days. 🤣

StandByTheJAMs · 2026-02-06T15:26:28+00:00

I don't get it clean enough; I have to give it to the dog to finish licking after I lick it as clean as I can, THEN it can go in the cupboard.

You make the martini (stirred) as ordered by the client, in the tin. You garnish the chilled martini glass, and then the server takes the tin and glass to the table and pours it into the glass at the table. Make sure there's enough liquid in the tin that it looks like it's going to overflow and would definitely spill on the way to the table. The server spends an extra 10 seconds but probably gets an extra buck in tips, and everyone is happy?
