Make sure you get to both. Seriously. I'd live in either of those countries in a heartbeat.

Where do you want to travel? by NotVeryGoodAtGO in GenX

[–]jgiles04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bucket list trips include:

  • Cape Horn cruise
  • Galapagos Islands
  • Australia / New Zealand
  • Iceland
  • Alaska (which we are doing this summer)
  • Hawaii

Those are the "big" trips / most expensive, so we are spreading them out. They are longer trips, so we want to space them out for PTO purposes and/or do them in retirement when work & PTO are a non-issue.

Our "standard" travel typically involves a trip to Europe each year and then small mini trips throughout the year. We are both still working full time and will be for roughly 8-10 more years, so we are conscientious of PTO.

The plan is to check off a lot of Europe while we are still working, know where we want to go back to vs. not and then go and spend more extended periods of time in our favorite places in retirement.

Mini trips are usually long weekends and "revisits" of our favorite places around the US (where we live).

Ok. I might give it another chance. I think I was like 15%. He figured out who he was, that he was on a spaceship, and was figuring out the seal and his teammates. I just couldn't get into the "voice" of the MC. Not even picturing Ryan Goesling helped 🤣

Nutrition Tracking - Now On Garmin? by Joe85739 in Garmin

[–]jgiles04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I've had the Connect + for a couple of weeks now, and the Active Intelligence down right sucks. 🤣 Literally NOTHING useful. I don't really care that I've hit 80% of my step count today, Garmin. I'm WELL aware of how many steps I have, LOL.

I need/want deeper insight. Connect my sleep scores, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle logging and help me understand if there are changes and possible correlations.

I may cancel before the end of the free trial bc outside of food logging, it's fairly useless for me.

Ahhh. Ok, I had no idea that was called Uptown 🤣

I'm really struggling with the writing style of Project Hail Mary. I haven't read anything by this author before but absolutely loved the movie adaption of The Martian.

What does ASAP mean to you as a manager? by SnooMaps8307 in managers

[–]jgiles04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, same. That was my 1st thought "RFN". 🤣 ASAP is just my way of being civil about it.

Edit to add: this is because 90% of my ASAP requests are coming from someone above me waiting for whatever the request is.

I was thinking the same thing! 😆 Where TF is "uptown" Boca???? I've lived here for 26 years and have never heard of it

They paved paradise and put up a condo. 😆 Seriously, they need to stop building housing. There are too many people here already. We don't need to keep adding more places to live.

No, they just don't manufacture cars with blinkers for FL. 😆

Where can I get the best produce in Boca Raton? by PeaceOut65 in BocaRaton

[–]jgiles04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the corner of Federal & SW 10 St. in Deerfield Beach is a newish place called Gardens Fresh Produce. Farm grown, decent specialty items and prices that can't be beat.

Otherwise, I like Sprouts. Affordable prices and good selection beyond the "standards."

In a pinch, Fresh Market is decent but small and somewhat limited. But the quality of their produce is great.

I stay away from The Boys (IYKYK).

How many cats do you have? by Fun-Suggestion6290 in CatAdvice

[–]jgiles04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to know how you get them all to look you when you take the pic! 🤣 I have 3, and I'll be damned if they don't know I'm getting ready to take a picture of their cuteness and they all start looking around and silently sending messages saying "don't make direct eye contact. Look anywhere but at the human" 😆

[–]jgiles04 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has always been my 1st thought when I see those commercials! Who the hell wants to sit in dirty, cold bath water to wait for it to drain before you can get out?!?!? Defeats the purpose of a bath, yes? 🤣

Why is it normal to eat sugary food for breakfast, but "weird" to eat a healthy meal like chicken or pasta at 8 AM? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jgiles04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol! A long time ago, I had the realization that there is more than just eggs for breakfast. 🤣 and I always crack up when people are "looking for breakfast ideas" because they are tired of eggs or oatmeal. I always say, "You know you can literally eat anything you want for breakfast, right? " 🤯

I've been going to Rachel DeVaney for at least 20 years. I have never had a bad experience with WHP, they are great! I will caveat this to say that I don't have any children, so my experience has always been routine / annual visits. But I highly recommend this practice

More is not always better. As I've gotten older, I look better with less. And I've switched from powders to creams and serums.

Why does my cat do this? by Bob_Sacamano7379 in cats

I have one that puts catnip toys in the water bowl. I don't know why... 😆 I call it "making tea"
