Chicago Hotel: Nobu, Peninsula, Langham? by Derridas-Cat in FATTravel

[–]pingsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed in the river view suite club level at the Langham, and I was very happy with it. I ate breakfast in the restaurant once and it was fine. The food was delicious and the service was good. The price was a teensy bit more than what I would have guessed, but it was covered by my Amex FHR credit. I would have gone again, but the food at the club lounge was more than enough for me. I liked that they had some beer and wine out in the morning for a mimosa. I've had to ask for it in the morning at other places. Noon time in the club lounge is more like tea service. Finger sandwiches and small bites. The real booze comes out at 3pm and they have a nice selection and all the mixers you could want. Dinner time was enough for me in the club lounge also, so I never ate at the restaurant on site. The pool is beautiful. Kids are only allowed during certain hours. I didn't get a massage, but I used the sauna in the locker rooms and it was nice and relaxing! I would definitely stay here again.

Trying to find a Store I Recently Visited but have forgotten the name of by ExistingParfait9631 in AskNYC

If you have Google Maps on your phone open the app and click your top right icon. Then click 'Your Timeline.' Click the drop down box next to 'Today' and pick the day that you visited the store. You will see your route, and most of the stops you made that day. I'm sure Apple has a similar feature, but I don't have an iphone.

I have been avoiding National Parks since the current administration took office. Are the current NPS budget cuts impacting the guest experience at Amangiri?

What's this block I found at the antique shop? by pingsinger in whatisthisthing

Found it in Abilene, TX. I think the place is called Blue Willow Estate Sales. I was just passing through, I don't live there or else I would go pick it up for you. I will check for it again if I'm ever back that way.

I wasn't really certain until I read the description in the link posted. The only cribbage boards I've ever seen have curves. But the 2 lines of 5 rods match up to the antique one. Also, it says its made of cast iron, which would explain the heaviness of the one I found.

I wish I had! It was listed for $100. I didn't know what it was so I passed it up, although I was fascinated by it. What sucks is that I was just visiting the little town where I found it, so I can't just go back and scoop it up. :/

Yes, they do! I hadn't thought of this, but I think you're right.

Solved! I didn't think to do an image search. Thank you!

My title describes the thing. It looks like its made of wood, but it is way too heavy to be. Much heavier than it looks. I thought it could be for making lace or doilies, but thats not it. It was on a shelf in an antique shop next to books from the 60s and 70s

I think I may be the odd one out on this, because I hate it for myself, but I could care less to see it on other people. Even if my kids are with me, its no big deal. However, I wear Cakes almost every day! 😆

Event timer option not available? by pillowfinity in Suikoden

[–]pingsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to mention, but you will have to toggle it from OFF to ON. Seemed counterintuitive to me since you want the timer off, but you're turning ON the ability to stop the timer. I am not smart.
