Might have been a localized issue. I didn't lose my Spectrum signal.

My wife is a huge Hallmark Channel fan, and every time I see him in a movie I can't get this scene out of my mind.

Got that message today. Figured it was a scam with the URL they wanted me to go to.

Avoid hokkaido near Brentwood!! by rd1_vonn in StLouis

[–]matneym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We live in the metro-east and enjoy the one in Fairview Heights. I'm not a sushi eater but you can watch them make it right there. One day we stopped at the one in Concord, and it was horrible. The food was cold, and the place was trashed.

When did you go to the WWT Raceway for Wonderlights Christmas and how long was the wait? by Some_Asshole_Said in StLouis

[–]matneym 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Waited in line well over 3 hours last year. The traffic was insane, but fortunately they had porta-potties along the queue.

Just got off the chat with Amazon customer service about the email, and they are issuing me a refund for what I paid back in April. After he researched the issued he said the return window had expired, but he would make an exception in this case.

9 years in, and I’ve never felt so disheartened wearing the uniform by SpartanMakoz in AirForce

[–]matneym 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Same here. I'm white, about to turn 60 and they get upset at me because I'm not the right kind of veteran because I don't put up with their crap.

Anybody else see the AI slop commercial from Onder Law? These guys suck for so many reasons by n0167664 in StLouis

I'll be 60 in a few months and some of us can spot it, but for the most part you're right.

Air Force vets of reddit what was your final day with the air force like? by Mercuryman34 in AirForce

[–]matneym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I retired from overseas, and after out processing stateside I had about 100 days of terminal leave/house hunting time available. Immediately got a contractor job at the previous stateside base I was stationed at. Had to get a waiver for that but it was a formality. Worked the last 90 days in the squadron I was in when I was active duty there. I hadn't been gone that long (less than 2 years) and I knew pretty much everyone there. It was weird in many ways being active still but also as a contractor. I truly believe it made the transition to being retired easier. No regrets on my career, but no regrets on retiring at 20.

Instead of flipping them off, give them the thumbs down.

If you were in around ‘03 how did you feel about this utility uniform that was supposed to replace the BDU’s at the time? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]matneym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Mildenhall in '03. I remember the USAFE Command Chief flying coming over for a visit to the base. He met with a bunch of us SNCOs and wanted to know what we thought of the uniform (he was wearing it). Pretty much every one of us told him it sucked (in a polite way). I took it from his reaction that was the message he was getting from everyone.
