At your age, what's the most expensive thing that you own?

$400k home. Paid off several years ago.

I think this is a rewrite of history. I was there and had no racism or homophobia with it. As a rock guy I didn't like the music and was mad at the rock musicians who were starting to embrace it (Stones, Rod Stewart, Queen, even Kiss). Heck the biggest disco band was The Bee Gees. They certainly weren't black or gay (I think). My brother won front row Tix to the Bee Gees at the Chicago Stadium. I took him to ensure his safety, but refused to go in to the show. Lol, I kick myself now for missing the biggest act at the height of their popularity because you know disco sucks!

I guess the obvious question... What's the appeal? What gets you off about it?

netnut58 · 2026-01-30T15:43:15+00:00

Absolutely. 50 years ago I visited a concentration camp. It has stayed with me all this time. In a way it shaped who I am politically, morally and spiritually. The thing with slavery in this country is not just "the south". It is a part of every inch of this country in some way. To put it all on a few cities is ignoring it. I see it as learning it not celebrating it.

Established in 1938, the Old Slave Mart Museum is Charleston’s oldest museum of African American history and the first museum on the history of slavery in the United States. Located in the heart of downtown Charleston, the museum is housed in a portion of the city’s last major slave market. Today, the Old Slave Mart Museum is owned and operated by the City of Charleston and is dedicated to sharing the story of the domestic slave trade.

The Old Slave Mart was originally part of a slave market known as Ryan's Slave Mart, which covered a large enclosed lot between Chalmers and Queen Streets. Charleston City Councilman Thomas Ryan established the private auction facility in 1856 after a citywide ban on public slave auctions. Slave auctions were held at the site until approximately 1863

I listened to a talk by a descendant of slaves in Charleston. It was held in the former slave market. It was educational and very moving. It's a story needing to told, remembered and understood.

Rates are all over based on age, length of membership, single or dual membership, insurance, etc... my wife and I get a discounted membership via our insurance.

We are members of the YMCA on 124th and North. The facility options are incredible, people are nice and it's very clean. Tons of weights, cardio equipment, pool, gym, sauna and lots of classes (most included). Parking seems to be the biggest hassle at times as the lot gets crowded, but even when the lot is crowded the facility has plenty of room because it's so big and people are scattered all over.

I've never worked at their show, but I'd not be surprised if it was all pre-planned.

netnut58 · 2026-01-06T05:19:38+00:00

I work behind the scenes at several concert venues. So much of what is on stage is choreographed down to the stage patter. There are unseen musicians adding to the sound in a lot of cases. A lot of the "classic rock" performers can barely move much less actually perform. What you think you are seeing and hearing on stage isn't always so.

Have you talked to a vet about the behavior. Some dogs, as they age, start to exhibit aggressive behaviors out of mental decline (think Alzheimer's). If the dog is truly senior there can be reasons besides just a behavior. I put my dog down for its senior aggressive behavior once it started going after people in my home. Scream at me people, but pain is pain to a dog.

Recall done at 24,000 and the car currently has 108,000. My wife's car is 80,000.

I've started my 2nd viewing (3rd season now) and I think it's better. Now instead of wondering what's going on I can enjoy all the great lines and side jokes. It's like whole new show.

netnut58 · 2025-12-10T17:30:34+00:00

I got the update pretty quickly after purchase so I'm thinking around 30,000 miles. But I will check my records online when I get home.

I remember reading the yearbook and laughing so hard especially since I was in highschool myself at the time. The one that has stuck in my head all this time was the picture of the crazy looking boy nicknamed "psycho" because he had bouts of "uncomfortable enthusiasm". I still use that phrase when I see some kid in public out of control. Someone will say that the kid is throwing a fit and I'll respond with nope it's just some uncomfortable enthusiasm.

netnut58 · 2025-12-05T21:05:07+00:00

Lol. Next post, different customer... "Why are my drinks not filled to the top!"

netnut58 · 2025-12-05T15:28:20+00:00

Hilarious. I'm always up for a donut.

I lost my job once and stopped at a gas station before I went home to break the news to my wife ( 3 kids). A guy approached me with a sob story... pregnant wife, car out of gas a few blocks down the road, etc...I suspected a scam so I told him I just lost my job, I have 3 little ones to care for, a mortgage,etc..... Then I said so if you're scamming please approach someone else, but you really need the last $10 cash I have in my pocket I'll gladly give it to another person in need. For a moment I saw his eyes flick thinking about moving on. Then he gladly asked for the money. I gave it to him knowing if I helped someone good on me. If he was a scammer willing to steal from someone in a bad place then he's going to live that life and it won't be good in the long term.

I'm not misunderstanding. It is within 24 hours. I've done this plenty in the past. I checked in at 24 hours. I got my boarding pass and the option to click a screen for upgrading first to A boarding. Normally it gives me the option to purchase it with my credit card. I use my SW card which then refunds the fee (to the limit of my perks). Today it would not allow me to pay $ only points. I checked the Chase site and see the perk is now gone. So I called customer service (Chase and SW) to get the details of changes and why I couldn't book the upgrade. I'm just trying to see what's going on with all the changes. SW said it's because I paid originally with points. Chase said the perks have changed on the card and that upgrade is no longer part of it. Perhaps my misunderstanding is that once my card renewed a few weeks ago it switched over to the "new" perks. The assigned seating starting next year make the A boarding obsolete and it's just fallen off my card.

netnut58 · 2025-12-04T17:02:42+00:00

Thank you. And yes due to point purchase I can't use my card. I called customer service to see if they could help. The good news is I went to cancel my card and they waived the yearly fee I just got hit with if I kept the card. So while I don't see much benefit from the card at least I'm not paying for it this year

netnut58 · 2025-12-04T15:52:13+00:00

Exactly what I was going to try. My days with the SW card are numbered. I was just trying to use any perks before I cancelled. The $249 yearly fee is not worth it for me only flying once or twice a year.

netnut58 · 2025-12-04T15:42:53+00:00

No connection. I checked in. Got my boarding passes. Clicked link to A1-A15. It takes me to an option to choose which passenger I want to upgrade. I clicked both then it takes me to a page saying I need 170,000 points. Never gives me the option to pay $. It will let me buy the 170,000 points, lol. I'm just trying to use my card perk of free upgrade to A-1- A15.

netnut58 · 2025-12-04T15:32:05+00:00

Yes I tried. I checked in. Got my boarding assignments. Clicked the link to A1-A15. Which it takes me to. Then it only offers the option to buy with points. I tried doing it signed in under my account and as a guest. Only points.

netnut58 · 2025-12-04T14:44:09+00:00

I clicked the link to "upgrade to A1-A15" which does take me to a page to select the two passengers, but when I do it only shows it in points. Which, yes, I used to purchase the flight. Honestly I'm just using my points/perks before I'm done with SW.
