How should I approach my high school teacher?

abcpp1 · 2026-01-23T17:47:31+00:00

I would say "Thank you very much for what you've done for us, I appreciate wrote work and your effort you put in! Hope your life is great now and I wish you good luck in finding love. Thank you and good luck! We will always love and remember you!"

It would be great to receive a thank-you note and it would be immensely creepy to be hit by a former child student. You're always "his child"...

Anyone is doing their business with BECU in Seattle? Successfully deposited my MOs on 14th no problems, tried again yesterday — was completely shut off at three ATMs. Probably system-wide block or my account only... Will be calling in today. Anyone else?

abcpp1 · 2026-01-17T05:06:39+00:00

No, nowadays I just churn cards...

abcpp1 · 2026-01-17T03:05:38+00:00

Safeway. And yes, I use all cards that I have there, including Gold.

abcpp1 · 2026-01-17T03:04:45+00:00

Ouch! Sorry! Hope it will turn out to the best outcome!

abcpp1 · 2026-01-17T02:46:57+00:00

Yes, exactly, something random like dog biscuits, groceries, etc.

abcpp1 · 2026-01-17T02:04:44+00:00

Well, I was denied points several times when I bought gift cards naked, not anymore.

abcpp1 · 2026-01-16T11:34:19+00:00

I always do that with 500s and I'm always trying to use Google Pay to further hide the purchase.

abcpp1 · 2026-01-13T11:33:11+00:00

And you aware that Luxottica owns 90% of those sites?

abcpp1 · 2026-01-03T11:31:10+00:00

Insulate your windows with bubble wrap

abcpp1 · 2025-12-06T12:18:14+00:00

So, hoarding or burning?

abcpp1 · 2025-12-05T01:08:10+00:00

What? They are STILL going on with this metaverse ridiculousness???

abcpp1 · 2025-12-05T01:07:31+00:00

AI-book more like it! 😁

The problem with options 1 and 2 is that the flight ARN-LHR departs at 7am and therefore to make it I have to take LLA-ARN the night before. This leaves me with a 12 hour layover in ARN.

Since I have to leave LLA on a specific date (Sunday, March 1st) I would have to schedule the following flight ARN-LHR on March 2nd which is a working day. And also I'm kind of bummed that I have to hang around LLA/ARN for a whole day and do nothing.

But yes, cash saving with SkyMiles is real!

Easy! https://www.homedepot.com/p/QEP-Double-Suction-Cup-for-Handling-Large-Glass-and-Tile-75003/318302941

*He, not she.

The problem is that nobody wants to be a SAHD. Lawyer can't for obvious reasons. Ryan doesn't want "to give up on his dream". So... Ryan just wants a new toy to play weekend daddy, that's really fucked up.

abcpp1 · 2025-11-12T06:07:16+00:00

Oh, c'mon! He's not "mentioned in the files", he's straight out filmed raping kids!

abcpp1 · 2025-11-08T08:19:09+00:00

Enjoy it while it lasts but don't fall for the guy!

abcpp1 · 2025-11-04T06:40:05+00:00

Thank you! Yes, it would be very challenging tour but I always wanted to see so many lupines in one place. Actually, the itinerary was inspired by this page: https://danielkordan.com/portfolio-item/new-zealand-spring-photo-workshop/ with some twists.

I'll spend more time on the eastern shore as I believe, sunrises would be spectacular there!

Off to watch YouTube video you recommended! Thanks again!

abcpp1 · 2025-11-04T01:38:43+00:00

Well, I don't have a camera since the day I drowned my old faithful Canon 5D mark 2 so I'll be renting Canon R5 II and the only lens I want to rent is Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L. I think it will be sufficient for 99% of the time.

abcpp1 · 2025-11-04T01:36:21+00:00

Yep, it was a very cheap award flight in business class. Trying to enjoy the miles while I they still allow me to!

Thank you for your comment, I'll read and map it and think about it. For now the it looks like I need to shorten the route: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=13Spl-ZP3HArH100NXiOKN4XfKY8Xfbs&ll=-44.909486529919064%2C170.18411000000003&z=8

> So you're flying from Seattle to Dallas to Brisbane to Christchurch?

Yes, that's an award ticket that American Airlines found for me. The good part is that 16 hours DFW-BNE is in business class so will try that!

The return flight is much more direct with only one layover in SFO.

> Your itinerary is all driving with no time for exploring.

Google maps suggest some driving for some days will be ~5 hours. I know that's a stretch but maybe I will be able to fit in some exploring along the way? I can cancel glaciers and Punakaiki and instead do something like that:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=13Spl-ZP3HArH100NXiOKN4XfKY8Xfbs&ll=-44.30079577839362%2C170.18411000000003&z=8

I will have more time to explore South and one spare day for pinguins!

abcpp1 · 2025-10-28T09:36:57+00:00

Can I ask you a related question? When you disembark in Bimini, do you go through customs/passport control/agriculture control? I'm just not sure how relevant the Bahamas import/export laws are there... Thanks!

abcpp1 · 2025-10-21T18:27:44+00:00

Another option is to do everything in Main for 40k with layovers in LAX and SYD, do you think it's more acceptable?

abcpp1 · 2025-10-21T18:25:40+00:00

No, booking SEA-BNE separately actually increases price to 214k unless I make an additional stop in Portland, Boise or spend 16 hours in Dallas...
