re: Fire ants in the garden

Posted by tadman on 5/5/24 at 12:25 pm
Hate those dudes because I wear crocs to work in the yard. F that. Also last summer they got my retriever. He layed in a bed of them and started looking at me all funny like "what did I do wrong???". I got him on the driveway, rolled him over, and brushed them all off. Felt bad for him....

re: Best philly cheesesteak in Denver?

Genuine philly cheese is really hard to find outside of Philly. Especially out of the northeast. Also Jersey Mikes is not a genuine philly cheese. Real talk and fact....

Fat Harry's, Pyrtania Bar, Sovreign Pub, Delachaise, Red Maple, Favela, Snug Harbor, Apple Barrel, Cafe Negril. I don't live in town anymore so I take people to the Ponchartrain rooftop becuase it's a good view and not in the quarter....

re: Graduation gift for nephew

Posted by tadman on 5/3/24 at 2:03 pm
I like watches but those are hit or miss. Some guys like them, some forget them. As I get older my nice ones are worn less and I wear a Seiko diver mostly that I can see in the dark and beat up. Back to graduation present - mabye a nice pair of really well made shoes/boots. Alden 403, Danner Ligh...

re: Flying Spirit Airlines

Posted by tadman on 5/2/24 at 8:53 am
For a short flight it's not the worst in the world. I do it every year or two when I can't get traditional airline schedules to work out for me. Maybe consolidate some bags or ship things ahead with UPS. Read their baggage rules and plan ahead. Wear a blazer or fleece vest and carry your crap in ...

re: Columbus, Ohio recommendations

Posted by tadman on 5/2/24 at 8:47 am
I'm going soon for a meeting and cannot think of a more boring place. It is mostly clean and quiet but I can get that at home. I was hoping for something a bit more interesting, especially in terms of food. I have a lot of friends that grew up there and they are all moved out. Nothing bad about the ...

re: Girl you went to prom with

Posted by tadman on 5/1/24 at 2:36 pm
I still see both around town, nothing more than casual hellos. One has done well in her field and looks good but never married. One looks great and is kind of going nuts post-divorce, supposedly dating a 20 years older man in England that was like a second cousin to her ex. That's a bit odd....

[quote]A budget airliner, which SWA is, doesn’t need to be paying industry leading rates unless they change their business model. [/quote] I don't know that Ive considered them a budget airline in perhaps 10+ years. They are not the cheapest. And there is no chance of an upgrade. Their budget-or...
