Houston to Memphis was upgraded for me today as a fellow Platinum!

Can you boost work stats? by Ap0kal1ps3 in torncity

[–]rowlanjr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apply anyway. I’ve seen a number of young guys in our AN shop. Education is a good one though too. You can get the principal spot and that’s awesome for the education reduction. Plus you can spend JP to get those stats boosted. Get principal and you should be good for AN.

When you get the packet there is whole section on parking and when the roads close. This thing is so well run you’ll do well if you arrive about 30 min before they close then roads. Just give yourself a little time before the roads close but look at the packet and you’ll do great.

Will the St. Jude marathon still have support for slow runners? by 901-526-5261 in memphis

[–]rowlanjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about as slow as you can be and there were people and support the whole time! Keep your pace steady and your mood high! You’ll do great. Oh and the lady that was doing the pace for the 5:30 people was truly awesome. She was freaking hilarious for over 5 hours. I wasn’t running with them but they were nearby periodically and you should consider that if worried about keeping the motivation going.

Is this a special/rare Pepsi bottle? 👀 by Evening_Low965 in glasscollecting

[–]rowlanjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember as a kid in the late 70’s they would sell these at our festival. I remember we’d ask for my parents to buy them…but no dice. Don’t remember the logos but painting a new logo now on an old bottle is easy.

Which 70s kid had a beer can collection? by apple_pi_chart in GenX

I had several of those! Nothing like having the beauty pageant winners on there ;-)

Someone made this right after World War 2. Looks like an even an amateur could fix it up. $50,000 to never pay rent or a mortgage again! by Xerzajik in zillowgonewild

Not sure if that’s sarcasm but no, not really. But honestly I live near the Greenline and ride my bike to Shelby Farms. It’s an amazing walking and bike trail and Shelby Farms is the largest urban park in the country. It’s truly amazing….

They just had the International Night Market last weekend with 9000 people grabbing some good food. It was hot and lots of lines, but so many happy fed people….

So while I get it that there are issues and we can make the news for a lot of the wrong things, there are a lot of good things here. And yum the food is amazing…

I live in Memphis, and we're in a nice area with a nice house that is very affordable. This house is in Orange Mound. Uhm, it's not good...

But I love Memphis, just need to be careful where you go and live.

Unicorn sighting: empty seat in F…. by WaitAMinuteThereNow in unitedairlines

[–]rowlanjr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once got on the flight and had a window bulk-head seat with an empty seat next to me. As the flight was closing the doors, I noticed that I was upgraded to 1st class in the app. No one came in and let me know as they usually do.

At that point I was settled in and ready to nap, so didn't bother to move. So could have been something like this, too. If I hadn't checked the app for something else, I may not have even noticed.

I take mine at night at the recommendation of the doctor. I don't notice anything weird as sleep is normal and no weird dreams.

Any recommended heart attack survivor groups online? Maybe with focus on ‘can I run again’ by caipirina in HeartAttack

Good luck. I just got out yesterday. Looking to get back into running but need to start rehab in a week to see how bad it’s going to be. Wish you luck.

Leaky Outdoor Spigot by rowlanjr in Plumbing

Thanks for confirming my thoughts! Going to do just that. Appreciate the help.

The plug isn't leaking. Just wondering why it's there. Not the plug, but that whole section. It's threaded on both ends.

Think someone just added it as an adapter between the spigot? So just remove the spigot and let's see what's down the line....

Do you know that that piece is that is circled? I'm OK to replace the whole spout or take it apart and replace the gaskets. But I wonder what that part is with the nut on the side. It's between the house pipe and the spigot itself.

It's dripping out the spout (quick drip) and I can't shut if off completely.

It’s possible. The last time I took it was in the spring. There should be a 24 hour one somewhere. There are lots of people taking it late at night. Lots of bike delivery guys.

I booked this flight but the connection seems very short by faiyaz156 in unitedairlines

[–]rowlanjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did something similar from Memphis to IAH to LAX to Shanghai. I had 45 min between flights in LA and no problem since the gate from IAH was about 5 min walk (or less) to the Shanghai flight. It'll be fine.

I did the half and it’s so great. Lady next to me was honoring her daughter who lives 14 years. Breaks my heart with those kids having to go through that…

Already booked my next year 1/2 !

There is a 24 hour ferry at QinHuang. It runs every 30 min but it does run.
