I am quoting this….just because I can! 😋 . BUT, if you look at it from a team perspective it kind of dilutes “the HC must go!!!” message intended to be sent. Life is not that simple. .

Here you are using a product to gain an experience. The product isn’t what you cherish, it is a means to the desired end, the experience. We think of this as an educational gift to him. This will beat the hell out of a new bathing suit or a video game. But you can always argue just about anything if you want to. I think the basic point was pretty clear.

Experiences > Things. We are taking our 9 year old grandson to NYC next weekend. We will see the Harry Potter play, have dinner in Central Park (Tavern on the Green), take the ferry around the Statue of Liberty, see the view of the Chrysler Building and Manhattan skyline from the wife’s office, etc. It would be much less expensive to buy him one of the toys he’s so eager to have, the toys that will be forgotten in a month. His first trip to the Big Apple will stay with him a lifetime. .

Well, if you had no punctures to show for your back pain, lack of steering and getting stuck on rocks, I guess it’s pretty rugged. As are you. I never actually call for room service, but I like knowing it’s there.

I would love to come on here one day and give you a FIVE STAR review! Yeah, Okay, I’m a mooch, but a decent judge of wings. 😋

Well, if you’re doing the wings in your ear, I may have a suggestion for you. But you have to say “please”.

What is white water rafting gear made of? That is some pretty rugged stuff!

You must be RICH! You probably own a box!!!

You mean, after a rousing game of ski-ball at Dave & Buster’s?

It sounds like the real mismanagement here was pricing all along. You can’t jerk people around like that with DRASTIC price hikes for the same thing! Even if they had unlimited money, they would resent that kind of sudden increase. BTW - Has anyone heard the Bills have a new stadium coming? 😋

That seemed to come quickly and naturally for you. Hmmmm…….. 😋 Every time this topic comes up I shed a little tear that the Duff’s franchise 45 minutes from me closed down. It was a haul, but I could get my fix. The rest I’ve seen, including an Anchor Bar, are just imposters. .

I feel badly actually, because I’m not sure if you can distinguish between people laughing with you, and people laughing at you. So feel free to carry on with….whatever it is you do.

I apologize in advance to everyone who has this poster on ignore for some reason (we get it), but this is such classic stuff I thought you might appreciate it. If not? My bad. 🤷‍♂️

If you have to ask, it seems we have identified a major sticking point. There are all different kinds of intelligence. .

Have we ruled out gas, for goodness sake?

Does it ever occur to you that it’s not as much about what you do, as how you do it? What is your goal?

Does it matter if he’s the only one?

He will be judged, in time. It’s not my place to judge. I wasn’t there. Is it possible the son or someone else did it? 🤷‍♂️

I know that, just like soccer. But they should argue that. She argued inequality as I recall. HINT: I love women’s tennis and I’m all for them getting paid, but Serena Williams is not the beautiful smiling face you see in interviews. I’d never tell her to her face how much I don’t like her because I’m too polite. And more than a little afraid of her. 😋

With my eyesight and memory, it’s hard to say. 🤷‍♂️

You look quite familiar. Have we met, or are you that guy in the mirror when I shave?

OWW!!! That HURT!

Our first house was right on the marsh overlooking a large sound. With a spring tide the water came right up to the backyard and we could take my buddies kayak out to the tidal creeks leading to the sound. There was a point full of trees that served as a windscreen. I nearly had “an incident” when that breeze caught and shocked me! Nothing like rolling on your maiden voyage, but narrowly averted. Kayaks AND paddle boards appeal to me more than high speeds on a jet ski! My spine has been jarred enough on jet skis! They are nice for just toddling up canals boats might struggle with, though.
