  1. Or 3) just don’t buy property in the swamp formerly known as Florida.
  2. The show ends its run in Feb 23rd. Just FYI. Get your tickets now!
  3. Thanks for the recommendation. My review…."meh". I didn’t really enjoy the film. If it hadn’t been based on a true story, I don’t think I would’ve found it interesting at all. And even then, they took a lot of liberties with the facts. The painting was actually "borrowed" for about four years. That’s not clear in the film. And the details about his motivation for returning the painting as portrayed in the movie are not true. To me, in real life and in film, the main protagonist was more "annoying twat" than "inspiring hero". YMMV. P.S. the Goya painting in question is really not that great.
  4. Which is why I only do business with my bank, in my local branch, in person. They know me. They know my spending habits. They know to call my lawyer and accountant immediately if I come in looking to make any transaction that’s out of the ordinary. When I recently went in to get a money order to buy a new car all the alarms went off. Yes, it took me two days, 5 phone calls, and several emails to get the money order. I’ve never been happier to have to wait and jump through so many hoops.

    I’m a Wynn regular. Same experience here.
  6. Looks like there’s a WhatsApp number now.
  7. Last minute deposit requests are a huge red flag in my book. I’d say you dodged a bullet.
  8. Personally, I hate 7 PM or 7:30 PM curtains. You basically have to have dinner around 5 PM, which is not in my vocabulary. With an 8PM curtain, you can do pre-theater dinner at 6 o’clock or 6:30 PM and still make the 8 PM curtain pretty easily. Even that I didn’t love, but it was a “New York thing“ and we all did it. I imagine that 7 PM start times have had a negative impact on the restaurants in and around Times Square. Then again, who the fuck can afford dinner and a show in this economy?
  9. Great so now we’re stuck with this boring Brazilian bisexual?….thanks!
  10. Easy solution. No put out = No pay out. He knows the rules and knows them well. As you said, he used you. Live and learn.
  11. Who the fuck cares? I’m fucking dead.
  12. I don’t wish stuff on anyone, but….. a free Frosty is a free Frosty!
  13. I think it does a good job of capturing his likeness, but overall I think it’s a butt-ugly portrait trying to pass as "high art". Some of the artist’s other work is more impressive, some not. https://www.jonathanyeo.com/welcome/
  14. That’s not a malfunction… that’s a feature!
  15. I think he is…… on his head!
  16. Just echoing what others have already said. Having served as the executor overseeing several estate liquidations recently, I can tell you things that the deceased thought were “priceless collections" were all in fact basically junk. Out of hundreds of various items only one had any value at all and even that was about half of what I expected. What has value? Flawless never used Hermes bags, rare Rolexes, pristine vintage cars with almost no mileage, and diamonds. Everything else is junk that you’re going to have to pay someone else to haul away.
  17. What a trashy thing to do. Talking smack about dead people is pretty low. As a child I had a strange hate for her in All in the Family that I really never understood. I guess little me was onto something.
  18. Somebody’s color blind!
  19. Or is it vice versa?
  20. They offer pick ups in Düsseldorf round trip for 50€ if you book a guy for 2 hours. Alternatively the S-bahn leaves Düsseldorf for Kaarst train station every 20 minutes. They say it’s a 7 minute walk from the Kaatst station to their facility.
  21. I’m gonna play the devils advocate here. I wouldn’t hire him unless you disclose ahead of time who you are and how you know him. He’s an adult. Let him make the decision. If he’s agreeable it could be really fun. If he’s not well, I think you know the answer.
  22. I’m glad I’m not the only homosexual that wore out those four frames of VHS tape. I’m a huge Dolly fan, but I loved those 4 frames more than every Dolly frame in the movie.
  23. I’ve been a big Wynn fan since they opened. The rooms recently got a minor facelift. On many trips, I never leave the property. The Encore Spa can’t be beat. In truth I’ve seen very little action there, but the facilities and services are top notch. I prefer the Wynn rooms and they’re closer to the action than the Encore rooms. My second choice would probably be the Venetian / Palazzo. The rooms are some of the largest in Vegas. The Casio is fun. Not the best, but a solid second choice. I used to a big Bellagio fan, but the rooms are very dated. The casino is always crowed, and not in a good way.
