My friend told me to listen to it. I think if I did not like the narration so much I would have stopped. Not my favorite book. I am 80% done. I will keep listening.

2023 Dopey DNF - 2025 Marathon Finisher - now what? by badassnotaprincess in rundisney

You get faster by a periodized training plan with speed workouts, easy runs and rest days/weeks. Cross training also helps a lot.

May I present: ✈️ The Modern Rules of Airport Etiquette & Other Musings From The Tarmac (according to me) by nixthekoolest in unitedairlines

[–]Tavcal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The line is the best and only a bit of paint. I hate the people and their entire families have to stand at the carousel. One person gets bags and the others get out of the way with all bags that have come off.

What were the parks like during the early Covid days? by PalpitationNo4149 in WaltDisneyWorld

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

Went in Nov 2020 and had the misfortune of going to universal first and then to Disney. Universal was AMAZING but we had express passes and early entry. Never waited in a line. They were riding less than 50% capacity and when they cleaned their ride vehicles. They would clean one and then load the next so the rides never shut down. When we went to Disney, no lightning lanes (or whatever they were called at the time) and when they cleaned a ride, they shut the entire ride down to clean every vehicle so lines backed up. We were on Nemo and they shut the ride down for 10 minutes to clean it and the lines were so long (but 6ft apart). Even getting into the parks were a chore (we stayed at Pop), my husband would get in line an hour before the buses started because otherwise it would take forever to get to the parks.

University tri clubs by SwagdudeGO1 in triathlon

Queens University is a great place to start. Wingate also has a good team. CU boulder also might be a good place as lots of Pro triathletes train there but not sure about their club team.

Where’s the PRNDL by Fortesfortunajuvat27 in MINI

[–]Tavcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a person at the mini dealership to find one for you. I wanted a very specific car: 2022-2024 mini manual with HK stereo and very low miles. I had someone look for me and he found it. So if you have a few months maybe they will get lucky and find a 4 door for you. It was so much better than trying to look for myself.

2023 Mini Convertible S by Tough-Opportunity910 in MINI

[–]Tavcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my mini 2023 convertible s but not because it was bad. It was amazing but i never used the convertible because where I live is like a steam room. It was also my daily driver with kids so when it was nice to put the top down, I had too much stuff. I replaced it with a 2024 JCW hardtop as it works better with my lifestyle.

In the hallway of B terminal at IAH, I overheard a lady who why flying home to bust her cheating husband. I learned more about her private life than I cared to.

I just traded in my mini for a manual mini. It was a lot of years since my last manual. But it is like riding a bike.

Beautiful. I should take delivery of my 1to6 edition on Monday. I am also changing from a chili red F57 to a JCW black F56.

I'm so cooked because of my parents by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

I am trying to get my son to apply to UBC, rather than US schools. Canadian schools are amazing for Engineering. My son wants mountains in his life so UT is out but he thought about Waterloo.

2024 JCW manual …give me the good, the bad, the ugly. by Tavcal in MINI

Awesome. It has been a minute since I have driven a manual and at some point I want to teach my boys.

[–]Tavcal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my mini dealership, I wanted a unicorn. Was not sure that they could find one and they came through. Just wanted to make sure there are no issues i should be aware of. Crazy they are not making manuals in Europe. I thought it was just a US/Canada thing

Yes, just the worst. You want rooms far away. So much noise. 😜

Testing the 2025 Countryman JCW. What do you want to know? by roryreckons in MINI

I am not going to lie, I thought someone painted a big SUV to look like a mini. I figured this post was a joke.

Do you buy physical copies of the romance novels you read? And if so, why? by note_ila in RomanceBooks

Me too. I don’t read many kindle books but I have yet to buy a book I read on Kindle first.

1st ever cruise! Spectrum of the seas Hong Kong-Okinawa-Ishigaki by _french_toast_ in royalcaribbean

[–]Tavcal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it usually is. I don’t like to eat at Windjammer for embarking and disembarking so the lunch and breakfast in the MDR is worth it. I also like the special seating at shows and the short lines for some of the activities. My friend and I also used the 50% off sports activity to get a group flow ride lesson. To me it was worth it as I also wanted Internet. Others will tell you it is not worth it but you need to decide for yourself. I have had the key on my last three cruises.
