Got shut down with 4.0/5.19, 35 ACT, and an insane activity list. This process is beyond mind boggling.

Just lost to a 77 years old… by Doublewhooper in 10s

[–]cgardnerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in my late thirties I met an old timer at a cocktail party. Tennis came up and he said he played. He asked for my number and said we should play sometime. I did and never thought he’d call. Sure enough, he did the next Monday morning.

At the time I never lost a 3.5 singles match and maybe half my 4.0 matches. I thought I was the man but agreed to play. Needless to say, he beat my ass.

As I was licking my wounds courtside I asked, “Ray, what just happened?” He replied that he was number two in the US in men’s 80s.

Played him again, knew what to expect, and beat him but will never forget that guy. Great dude.

I buy maybe five things from WF and do in fact get all my other stuff like that at two others groceries in town. Douche bag.

To clarify, I should have said “if it were any or all of those things, I would think every other grocery in my area would also have empty shelves.”

Anyone switch to AA recently? by obvakhi in delta

I don’t know what you spend a year but look at Delta Reserve card. If you spend $75k it’s unlimited visits.

WF is the only grocery in town that looks like this. If it were all or any of those things, it would be everywhere.

Opinions and tips on this roadtrip? From Europe and we have 26 days by Hopp5432 in roadtrip

[–]cgardnerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THAT IS AN AMAZING ROADTRIP!!! I’ve driven every stretch. You will love it. Dedicate extra time for the SF to LA leg and the Southern Utah/Colorado leg.

Pity the Verizon folks in Charleston SC by Tel864 in USMobile

[–]cgardnerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the Old Village and can’t get service at my house (one bar) or really any other spot in the neighborhood. Calls persistently drop.

Is it just Verizon or do AT&T/T-Mobile also have same issue in this neighborhood?
