  6. Re: 2023 - The freshest crap from farm to table

    The CR route is a hump, plus I gave up on those 47 lb suitcases years ago. Last time I had a 24 inch suitcase rather than a 28 inch just to constrain myself. It did bust a handle but I muddled...

  10. Re: How do you get "optimal" ticket prices?

    One thing good about nica dental work is that you can get the whole enchilada--root canal and crown --from the same office if not the same dentist. Some have husband and wife teams to do this. No...

  15. Re: How do you get "optimal" ticket prices?

    Been there, done that. Pricing is crazier than dog shit. You click on a 9 hour $500 flight and the next option is a $3000 30 hour flight. Woudathunk the tourist capital of Las Vegas would be such a...
