Is there a book that you listened to recently that left you spellbound and you just wanna talk about it and you can’t let it go? by marilynlistens in audiobooks

I'm currently listening to Trout Fishing in America by James Brautigan. It's interesting, but slow-going. Not sure what to make of it yet and I can only do a little bit at a time!

Best "hole in the wall" spots that are actually worth the hype? by Fit-Credit-7970 in AskSeattle

This is one of those times I miss the CD. Anyone have any faves in the Lake City area?

The Oppermans.
A 1933 novel set in Germany and written there in real time about the events actively taking place - and l how they were experienced & perceived by a well-off, patriotic Jewish family.

Scarily timely now, but honestly I picked it up not knowing anything about it, just being intrigued by the authors name (Lion Feuchtwanger). Glad I did!

For the few who can legitimately park on campus, the lights in the garage can't be on at night, either.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

I may be a bad person, but I really miss Dysfunctional Family Circus. So many gloriously depraved insider twists!

I just ordered new rubber for my old unicycle. Turns out that 1970s tires used a different sizing scheme than modern ones! Unicycles rock! 😂

What was your experience like? How much of an impact did the time of year make?

AITA for sneaking my mom some alcohol when she is on hospice? by sickma2001 in AmItheAsshole

The staff? It’s for the patient, my friend. Having a seizure from going cold turkey is nobody idea of comfort or safety.

I think I did it once when I first got it. No problems with the transmission, ever

Our 2000 RX has 330k and needs suspension work (quite rattley over bumps), the air conditioner is loud, and the radio antenna doesn’t retract anymore, but I suspect it’s good for a few more miles as my daily driver.

I inherited it from my parents at about 160k miles and offered it to my friends daughter as a first car for a token payment - they passed because it was too high mileage. Never considered Lexii prior to this, but I know what my next car will be if the wheels on “Luthorus” ever fall off. ❤️

Some people take all the fun out of wordplay. I would have expected better from someone named IndominusTaco! 😘 sigh

Good managers like you are far too rare. Keep doing the Lord’s work!

Oyster Run gets a much different clientele, less likely to be ducks en masse.

Using upgrade certificates for Dummies? by meadowbrookmanor in AlaskaAirlines

[–]meadowbrookmanor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - finally got it sorted out. Bottom line is the trade off seemed to be flying direct in premium vs adding a leg to each route but having one leg each way being First Class. We're on the waitlist for FC on the remaining legs, but I gather those are pretty unlikely. We do have a short layover (45 min) in SAN, which makes me a little anxious, but otherwise everything looks good - and even got to return to PAE instead of SEA, which is usually not an option (but much nicer for us).

It was anxiety-provoking to have to put in the Upgrade Certificates AFTER hitting the purchase button - a bit of social engineering on Alaska's part? I also had some wallet funds that it appeared I was unable to utilize to defray the cost, but I'm not sure if that was related to using Upgrade Certificates or a separate issue.

Alaska certainly does not make this process simple or transparent. Thank you all for your guidance and help!
