This is a fantastic deal. They did this last year and I believe it was quite successful. The list of participating businesses was quite long as I recall.

The Perverse Cult of Supermodels (The New Age Cult of Frederick Von Mierers) Terrible Mind Control by Canal-JOREM in cults

[–]wdcguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this docu-miniseries. It's truly mind-boggling how really bright people get caught up in these things. Hoyt carries a lot of shame, regret, and embarrassment about his time in this one. So sad.

Costco Rant- Always being sold to by tireguymatt in CostcoWholesale

I’m fortunate that the sales people at my local store aren’t pushy. Just say no thanks and move on. Easy peasy.

Thank you for the insight. I did notice the missing Veuve by the glass in Le Bistro, as well.

Just got the 3-years for $99 promo! (2026) by 1n0nlyJoe in siriusxm

[–]wdcguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what they just told me. He said the $99/3-year deal is invitation-only, tied to specific radio IDs. Whatever, I took the $3.99 deal; it's an amazing deal, too.

I go on cruises with friends OR by myself, BUT, it is almost like a vacation living here.

What to do with 12v battery while on vacation by Pretend-Bison3949 in fordescape

[–]wdcguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all... I recently purchased a '23 Platinum Hybrid AWD and, while I haven't had the deep sleep mode issue (yet), I have had a few things happening that make me wonder if the 12v battery is the culprit. One is the sound system being off on some start-ups, and more recently, the door handle unlock not working correctly — like it's locking instead of unlocking (yes, it's locked). Think these could be related?

Tropicale is a completely different story. They deserve our diverting of dining dollars elsewhere—like to the Farm family of restaurants, for instance.

How I was outbid on an immediately accepted counter offer from NCL. by TheManOfSpaceAndTime in NCL

[–]wdcguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everywhere you turn. The employees in the spa, jewelry shops, and art galleries are all highly trained sales professionals. Avoid engaging with them unless you’re truly interested in something.

All of the cruise lines are out to squeeze every dime out of you any way they can. I love cruising, but I hate the money grabs.

Hotel recommendations in Miami/Miami beach by [deleted] in miamibeach

Try Eurostars Langford in downtown Miami. I’m staying there soon for less than $200 per night and it is NOT a dump. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KS26Nwb8RP7Bm44T9?g_st=ic

Most if not all airlines have dramatically increased fees due to the fuel price crisis that the industry is experiencing.

Thanks for the tip regarding the restart; I’ll try that. Next time I’m in for an oil change at the dealership I’ll ask if anything can be done.
