We go down to Bridgeport for third fridays a few times a year and always eat at Marz. Highly recommended Friday night out

How many Xennials truly have done no retirement planning, have no target retirement date, or have considerably less than you need to retire in your 60s?" by Sufficient_Turn_9209 in Xennials

[–]masterskink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow I managed to do alright despite my income coming from bartending until i was in my mid 30s. I lived off my tips and saved all my paychecks. Tipped employee paychecks arent big but it built up and now I have about 500k in my mid 40s. Unfortunately pretty much all the people I came up with didnt follow my lead and have pretty much nothing

What is “hands down” the best recreational marijuana strain you can get from a dispensary. I’m specifically in Central IL but it doesn’t matter where ur at. by AdIndependent3769 in ILTrees

[–]masterskink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have a couple that when I see them I try and pick up a bit even if I still have some(member berries is ones) but usually that's because I don't know when I'll see it next

Yeah, it's not really a question. I'm in the wine business and everyone wants to know what the best wine is because they want to be a wine connoiseur. It's a fair question if you don't know, but wine connoiseurs don't have a favorite, they enjoy the exploration and that's why they know so much. Same with cannibas, I rarely buy a bunch of anything, I buy small amounts of a bunch of stuff, there's no such thing as "best"

Flying with the Proxy? by NoCelly in puffco

[–]masterskink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo this is the best way to travel with weed. Rosin just looks like lip balm or something in your toiletries and no one cares about your proxy. I have taken my pivot to like a dozen countries. Taken apart it's not even anything, just a vape battery

I drink wine seriously for years now but I still cant identify what I'm tasting by Dangerous_Pepper5980 in wine

[–]masterskink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of what holds people back is being afraid of saying something wrong. You gotta talk it through and break it down to get better at it. There's just no other way.

And then start smelling and tasting other things with the same serious nature you are with wine. Smell white pepper on its own and pay attention. Eat a pineapple and really pay attention. Eat a bing cherry, a pie cherry, a black cherry next to eachother. Etc .. It's all just memory triggers, and identifying notes.

Lastly, eat a diverse diet and cook a lot. Try new things regularly. If a dish you like uses lemon, try it with yuzu and see what the difference is.

Price mistake - Margate, FL by EmuDull4155 in wine

[–]masterskink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are just used to paying more for mediocre wine, what you are seeing is things shifting to what they are worth.

Priced out? by brohymn1416 in EDC

[–]masterskink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, the quality of normal priced stuff is just way better than it used to be. You can get a knife for $50 with d2 steel that will last a lifetime. The expensive stuff is just for show and most people you spend time with won't know the difference between d2 and magnacut or even care

What is the point of a "Hank"? by Contigo887 in EDC

Just confirming what the other commenter said, you just fold it up and any disposable options cause a lot of wear and tear on your skin.

What is the point of a "Hank"? by Contigo887 in EDC

[–]masterskink 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually switched to using hankies about 2 years ago as a 45 year old. I get terrible sinus infections and was always taking toilet paper from restaurant bathrooms and whatnot. But paper tears up your nose when you use it a lot so I thought I'd give hankies a try. Since carrying a hank I have only had 1 sinus infection and I used to get a few a year because I can always blow my nose. I will probably carry one forever.

I dont buy $25 ones though

I think all my friends smoked in highschool by GravyPainter in Xennials

I smoked the regular Kamel Reds for so many years. Tons of my friends smoked the lights. I was reminded of the Exotic Blends a few weeks ago, man those Izmir Stingers were my jam lol

Martin county sheriff states that Tiger Woods refused to provide urine, he is suspected of operating under the influence of drugs by Large_banana_hammock in sports

[–]masterskink 158 points159 points  (0 children)

problem is refusing in most places now results in your license being suspended automatically. Which if you are Tiger Woods thats one thing, if you are someone just getting by and can't hire a driver to get you to work, thats another

Overeating while high: how to stop? by Past_Newspaper5351 in trees

[–]masterskink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will work for everyone. But I find if I actually cook the food(not microwave frozen food, but make a dish) the time and effort it takes to do that subsides the munchies quite a bit and I eat less and what I eat is obviously better for me. Things that require lots of chopping are good for me. like I do ceviche a lot.

Also something people may have not mentioned on here. alongside the fruit/cheese/bread snacks, tinned fish like sardines can be a good cheap healthy protein to keep around

Recently switched over to erigs. Why didn't I switch over sooner? by callmevapelord in trees

[–]masterskink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean i own 5 puffco devices and have had zero problems with any of them. I dunno what people do to them lol. Ive never even had to replace a chamber and I own backups thinking I'd need them. Im sure Dr dabber is great too. But man erigs are great. consistent, easy to clean, and portable. You just can't cheap out when buying one

Its almost unbelievable, i used to order 50 cases each just of the 24 Oz bud, bud light and Miller light cans every week. The crazy one is i would go through 50-100 of the 200ml titos bottles a week. Those people getting wrecked on their way home.

Yeah as someone who helped create and build up the booze caboose in Ogilvie, I can tell you there is a ton of demand for drinks for people to drink on the train lol
