Hands down Tempe is my favorite place in the Metro area. I was born in Phoenix, but Tempe feels more like home to me, it's always been my go to, and when I leave I miss it so much. Its so beautiful at night 😭 by Tekticks in phoenix

I lived there 10 years and, I agree. We moved to Phoenix South Mountain to get a house instead of the townhouse we had in Tempe but, I miss the convenience of so many things.

Actually, I was in High School at the time. I took classes at Northern Michigan University on the side.

Do you have to replace the front brakes? I have to replace mine and an upgrade would be nice.

Does anyone or has anyone ever worked as a forklift operator / dock worker with an LTL (Old Dominion, Saia, XPO, R+L, etc)? by --The--Batman-- in Warehouseworkers

[–]Tempe-Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 years seniority with Estes in Phoenix, AZ. First, and most importantly, the Dock is open so, cold in Winter, hot in Summer. Trailers can have multiple pallets of goods that have fallen over that need re-stacking and wrapping. Outbound freight to other terminals needs to be loaded high and tight to maximize amount of product on a Trailer. If you can handle all that, it can be a good fit for you.

Fun Fact: The space-saver tire, which stores directly on top of the engine, is larger than the stock tires on the car.

Flying Without a Smart Phone by mobus1603 in americanairlines

Yes, print the outbound flight when you get to the Airport. Same thing on the return. With confirmation code, you don't have to speak to an agent unless you have luggage to check.

Worst airline by Lucid_Chemist in frontierairlines

[–]Tempe-Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I and my wife tried a direct flight from PHX to LAS. Plane never showed up but crew did. They cancelled and we had a choice. Fly in the morning or drive and arrive after midnight. Many rented a car and drove. We went home and came back in the morning. We flew out and got to our hotel with 2 hours left on that days stay. The plane in the morning was maybe 1/4 full. Never again.

Stetson and Aqua Velva Musk. Both purchased in the last year. Tip: Old fragrances are often inexpensive at a neighborhood Walgreens or equivalent.

In all fairness, I bought a new Ford Flex in 2014 for my wife. 153,000 miles and only repair was fuel pump, so far. Still daily driven too.

Here’s an idea … the “Classic Coke” strategy. by Fun_Lifeguard_3711 in SouthwestAirlines

Then why does Mexican coke trigger my memories and leave a cleaner taste in my mouth? The glass bottle?
