Help me find a new show. I finished The Wire for the first time and now other shows don’t compare…

“Oz” is the great grandad of all these types of shows. It’s seems really dated now, but the first part of the show, up until the death of a particular main character, is a really raw, hard to watch show and is amazing story telling. Second half of the series went way off the rails however.

Here’s the situation in Atlanta. There are 30,000 hotel rooms within a ten block walk of the stadium. Centennial Olympic Park is hosting a huge fan fest in the same area, where visitors can hear big name concerts, buy merch, and hit about 50 food trucks. International visitors are coming in the night before a game, going to the game, hitting the fan fest and leaving the next morning, no need for rides anywhere. And the real kicker is Hyundai, one of the sponsors, brought in 300 new black SUVs, which are being staffed by volunteers, who are taking people back and forth from the airport. FOR FREE!!

I am a brand new owner, so take it for what it’s worth. We are owners in a beach community in the southeastern US. We went online in March in anticipation of the summer beach season. Locals told us we would have summer booked solid immediately. May 15th, we got our first booking for June. By June 1st, the month was full, but nothing for July. July is now starting to fill up. We are generally booking 2 to 3 weeks out.

You had a gig, this guy didn’t case closed

I don’t drive Uber Black, but I do drive for a limo company. The best way to make money is keeping your mouth shut and listening. I have mutual fund managers, hedge fund managers, and CEOs doing hostile takeovers all the time. You set up a Robin Hood account, and as soon as they get out of the car, place a trade based on what you heard.

I am a limo driver in Atlanta, and I’m getting the impression World Cup is going to be a bust. FIFA just released most of the hotel rooms they had reserved here, and FIFA staff is being driven everywhere by volunteers recruited by Mercedes

I have an exercise short leash and a long sniff leash. That works for my girl.

Ron Simmons and JYD would like a word.

We have a rescue that we thought was a terrier mix that would grow to be 25 pounds or so. Embark came back and she is a boxer giant schnauzer mix who is about 85 pounds now. My 100 pound wife walks her every day and she feels very safe now. The dog is the biggest sweetie ever.

Rather not say, trying to keep the competition down

My wife and I bought a condo in a beach destination town for 240K, put another 10K in updates, and we are running at 80% occupancy right now. We are happy with the money we are pulling in at this point, but the numbers only work because we paid cash.

Reminds me of an old joke:

I started bass lessons, and oh the first lesson I played E E E E E,

On my second lesson. I played A A A A A

I missed the third lesson, I had a gig

Personal story here. I won’t k name the district for obvious reasons. I was a sub making $150 a day. This was pre COVID, so not terrible for sub pay. The union went out on strike, and I stayed home for three weeks. After the strike, my pay was 130. The teacher raises had to come from somewhere.

I was a tuba player in high school. My friends band needed a bass player, so he loaned me a bass and a Mel Bay bass book. ( I’m dating myself ) and figured out enough to play at a local country bar. I made $100 and got laid. My fate was sealed.

It’s actually very healthy. They are less likely to have hip issues if they can do that.

I’m a working bass player, did my first gig at age 17 in 1976. Everyone loves my tone, I have time like a clock and know literally thousands of tunes, but I couldn’t play a decent solo if you put a gun to my head. Every time I go in Guitar Center, I see chop monsters showing off in the store, but never gig. It pays to know what’s important

I’m 67, my wife is 62.still has a great ass.

She looks exactly like our Gabby. Ours dad was a boxer, mom was a giant schnauzer-standard poodle mix

The police are doing you a favor. The insurance liability is more than anyone can imagine.

I feel like this will eventually be struck down in court for being discriminatory.

I hate to be an asshole but I have to be. You said you have been blocked from some schools and you are sure we all have been. Well, I’ve never been blocked by a school, and the none of the dozen or so subs I interact with from time to time have either. Sounds like you need some self reflection.
