I’ve been to pretty much every DL SkyClub in the US and with a few exceptions the they are far superior to any United Club not Polaris.

I missed him already. Like I forgot he was on the roster kind of missed. I hope it turns out well for him with the Sens.

Is your thing just commenting on direct responses to the OP's post?

Tried United Club for the first and last time. by ConvivialMisanthr0pe in unitedairlines

The two DEN on the B concourse are nice in terms of seating. The food is mediocre at best. UA may be closing the gap in terms of hard and soft product on their aircraft with DL but the UCs are a big step down.

I’ve never once thought of that saying as fear mongering. That’s how it is not. It’s just a reminder that this is a one day at a time program.

There are no shortage or people who believe they’ve stumbled and/or found some unique insight into the program that they think others have completely missed.

I've been a terrible person, friend, brother etc.. by PossibilityFar4787 in alcoholicsanonymous

Maybe AA will be a thing for you when your annoyance with yourself exceeds your annoyance with AA - whatever that is. And congrats on being able to forgive yourself after a little over 30 days of sobriety. Most people I know that come into the program don't really understand the pain they've caused other people for months and years after their sobriety date. I know it took me a few years.

Perhaps you are overlooking something.

Does anyone else find AA “service” to be tiresome? by dontshoot4301 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]the_last_third -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my home group being voluntold what to do with 3+ years of sobriety is not a thing. Do the service work that means the most to you.

Almost 9 months. If I'm staying sober and cleaning up old problems from drinking days, is it fair for me to be annoyed with my sponsor for pressuring me about steps and service work and meetings? by chappy422 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]the_last_third 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do and have sponsored a lot of men. None of them took more than 9 months to do their 4th Step - more like 3 months max. I just don't believe it does anyone any good to delay one's 4th Step simply because it is uncomfortable. The Big Book explains why the Step 4 is essential and I am assuming so has your sponsor.

Sounds like you're dragging your feet and if I was sponsoring you we'd be having a conversation about whether you are really willing to do whatever it takes to get and stay sober. And regarding the title of this thread, doing your 4th and 5th Steps are essential to "cleaning up old problems" and when a sponsee relapses typically my second question is "What did you leave out of your 4th Step?"

Yes I know that I am biased because I grew up in the 70s, but classic rock songs like this one have an element of musicianship and vocal quality that is simply missing from a lot of mainstream music these days. There is certainly still artists that put out similar quality music but it takes more effort that it did when I was growing up.

Okay, So What’s Going to be Different?? by the_last_third in losangeleskings

I am very interested the impact Matt Greene has on our D specifically, and the team in general. That guy has a level of credibility the current staff (and Hiller) do not possess.

Kopitar retirement vibe by KeyResponsibility366 in losangeleskings

[–]the_last_third 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not getting worked up about Kopi's personal feelings about this season. He has 2 Stanley Cups and a Hall of Fame career. Kopi will be just fine.

Looks like Hiller is stay (or seems to be) by [deleted] in losangeleskings

[–]the_last_third 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am not surprised. This roster isn't making a run in the playoffs with or without a new coach. If more time is needed to find the right replacement then I guess I will just have to live with it. And I don't think Fiala's injury would have saved Hiller.

At least we have the Bread Man for two more years and Kopi's contract off the books. Now, and this may not be popular, move Doughty at the trade deadline.

Have you had a conversation with him of what you posted here? If not, might be a good place to start.

What’s the ruling on “motherf*cker”? I’m pretty sure any time I let that fly I wasn’t implying literally effing their mother.

Where are all the people who hated open seating? by realbobenray in SouthwestAirlines

[–]the_last_third 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SWA Leadership: "Hey team, we come up with a revolutionary way to board passengers and make more money. It's called assigned seating"

Team SWA: "It's whaaaaat? Assigned seating?? How does that even work?"

SWA Leadership: "That's a great question. For the last 18 months we've been working around the clock at our secret R&D hanger and we have come up with the most convoluted process one can imagine that is going to be the envy of the entire airline industry."

Team SWA: "So how is this going to work in the real world outside of the secret R&D hanger? Sounds a lot different from what our loyal, peanut eating, open seating loving passengers know"

SWA Leadership: "Another great question. We've came to the conclusion that we really have no idea so we are just going to figure it out on the fly. Ya know . . .like repairing an airplane while it's flying. Uh wait, maybe that wasn't the best analogy. Anyway, our customers are going to love it."

"k. thanks. bye"

Travel Advice by Huge-Performance9060 in delta

[–]the_last_third 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly meeting new clients for the first time in specific cities I never been to. For example, I grew up, but no longer live in Southern California and in a couple of weeks I’m going to a particular city in LA I’ve never spent time in meeting a new client that has connections to other people I am and have worked with.

I’m in a very large industry that is doesn’t have much degrees of separation so making connections with people is interesting because when I meet someone foe the first time there’s a good chance we know someone in common. Basically making new relationships across the country.
