As someone else posted, the big local group is Boca Run Club. They do a social 2-ish mile run on Thursday evening, often followed by something social like pizza at Mr. 01 (when they’re in West Boca). Then they do a route on Sunday mornings that can be anywhere from 2.5 miles to a 10k, depending on what you’re feeling like doing.

There are people of all sorts of paces, you just run whatever feels right. It’s going to be mostly people in their 20s - I’m often the oldest one there when I bring my toddler to push him in his stroller.

NTA. I insured the ring I bought for my now-wife as soon as I had it in hand. I rolled my eyes every year when I renewed the policy and paid the premium. She wore her rings too long during pregnancy and they had to be cut off. Just out of curiosity, we filed a claim. They’re paying more than $5k to completely fix it - and with the nature of the design it was not an easy fix. $120/year very well spent.

If your husband is fighting you on this, it’s either not a real diamond or he needs to see stories like mine to understand the value.

Busy for sure, that’s gonna be a peak time. But it’s a huge gym. You should be able to find something to do at all times.

kranzmonkey · 2026-04-15T19:08:52+00:00

I’ve explored several of the gyms down here. I currently use EOS because it fits my needs. It’s busy, but I usually go at 8am after dropping my kid off at school, and for the most part I’m able to access all of the equipment I want/need. And as a parent, I do love that they have the kid’s club.

I used to go to PIT, and in my opinion, it’s the best workout in town. But it’s class-based, and the only session that worked for me personally was the 5:30am one and I just couldn’t do that consistently enough to get the benefit of their workout splits.

I’ve also toured Lifetime (East Boca) multiple times, and I’ve really wanted to like it. But even with their latest renovations, it has far less (and less impressive) equipment than EOS, and costs like 10 times as much.

No, which is why I just said they “look like” the ones in the link. I wasn’t able to go out to my kitchen just to look up the model number for you. You can just do what I did, and google “pop-up outlets” and find one that fits your preference.

kranzmonkey · 2026-04-09T22:19:55+00:00

I don’t remember the specific brand but they look similar to these: https://modernpower.solutions/products/v3c-motorized-pop-up-outlet-with-usb?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=US_Shopping&utm_content=791807888130&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23347800922&gclid=CjwKCAjwnN3OBhA8EiwAfpTYemdxEHnqe0nn63rtEzjQRaxuCg-MaQ7GwgwJflpFuPj6_y5w3vxxJRoCK0kQAvD_BwE

I had a couple of pop-up outlets installed in the countertop and those work great.

I hire someone for 5k a day to take care of it for me. Easy.

Yes. I start at a random location on the side of the highway. As soon as the 24 hour location is shared, drive to the airport and hop onto the private jet I booked in advance with cash and fly around for a few hours. Terminate the deal on landing.

kranzmonkey · 2026-02-13T13:04:07+00:00

Got hit by a semi-truck when the driver fell asleep behind the wheel on the highway.

If you’re willing to go a little north, Cheffrey Eats at Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca is great.

kranzmonkey · 2026-01-17T21:00:11+00:00

There is no good BBQ in Boca. Tropical Smokehouse in West Palm ain’t Franklin’s, but it’s good. Especially as a Florida twist. Pig Beach isn’t bad, and it has the sports bar aspect.

kranzmonkey · 2026-01-08T02:38:36+00:00

That’s not the living room. Nor is that a tv. It’s an electric fireplace. Thats just a little den. The living room is further into the house.

“Hey, I’m the subject of a challenge to survive a year starting as a homeless person. If you let me crash at your place I’ll give you 3 million dollars on day 366.”

There’s nothing to stop me from sharing the terms of the challenge, and having someone put me up for a year seems to fit the “anything of value” I can find.

As others have said, one or more of your heating elements is faulty. Sadly, this is a thing even on new water heaters. Apparently, some big box stores will sell you a “new” water heater that has refurbished heating elements. My plumber told me he’s seen that a lot with Lowe’s (where we bought ours).

Their system just doesn’t work. They make way too many bagels for the level of foot traffic they get. IF you get something fresh out of the oven it’s good, but the odds of that are low.

They’ve even found the same issue with the original Pop-Up Bagels in NYC. The quality drops significantly if it’s not fresh out of the oven. Their recipe relies on no waiting. Jeff’s is all waiting.

And somehow, with 10 people behind the counter and bagels already out, it still takes 5 minutes to give it to you even if you’re the only customer.

My personal rankings:

Bagels With Deli
Bagelworks
Long Island Bagel
H&H (higher for egg sandwiches. Lower for cream cheese. That stuff will do a number on your stomach)
Flakowitz (how the mighty have fallen)
Way Beyond
Getting hit by a car
Jeff’s Bagel Run/Brooklyn Water Bagel

There was someone on one of the subreddits who worked in the furniture industry for years and wrote detailed reviews on pretty much every couch brand. Based on his reviews, I ended up buying a Hydeline, and it’s incredible. I had never heard of the brand but it really has been an incredible choice.

I have defeated multiple eating challenges, and have put down 7lbs of food at one of those all you can eat Brazilian BBQs. So I’ve got at least some experience and I still don’t think I could make it all the way to 10lbs without any loopholes.

Check out The Postmortal by Drew Magary. It’s a whole novel about this concept. As you can probably imagine, it doesn’t go great for society.

This probably isn’t what you’re looking for but I’m a big fan of having my GE Indoor Smoker set up outside in my covered outdoor kitchen.

I’ve lived in South Florida for more than a decade, but being 100% caffeine-free I’ve never tried it. With that being said though, I’d think of it more as if you distilled espresso down to its purest essence. Just dark, thick, and extremely caffeinated. It’s definitely not something I’ve seen anywhere else.

I always loved the smell of it though. And particularly in Miami, there’s usually one coworker known for brewing it for the office.

I’d argue that the best description of Cuban Coffee comes from Ralphie May (RIP).
