My friends were all getting kind of sick of Cards Against Humanity, and I heard this was fun.

I found a good way to revitalize CAH was a new game "Pictionary against humanity" where you use randomly drawn white cards as a Pictionary category. Get a dry erase board and some markers and have at it.

I bought a robot to clean my floors for me, because I'm exceptionally lazy.



I have one of these, I think. Mine is called "Mint" though. It looks identical so I assume IRobot bought them out. It works pretty well. Not perfect, but it makes it so we don't have to sweep our hard wood floors that often.

Are you from New Orleans? Or at least know it well?

My next purchase will be on AirBnB... I need to lock down a place to stay. So any recommendations on neighborhoods to avoid would be great. I've only been once.

Will you have your own transportation?
The city is very up and down, on one block you will have multi million dollar homes, the next you'll have dilapidated shotgun doubles.

If you can find something in the Gentilly, Navarre, mid city, or Lakeview area in airbnb, that's gonna be your best area for least travel to the fairgrounds. The further East you get in the Gentilly area and the closer South you get to i10 in mid city, the sketchier it gets. Staying close to city park will yield best results but may also be most expensive. There's also handy jazzfest shuttles in the area.
Uptown is nice, but even with your own transportation, it's a pain in the rear end to get anywhere from Uptown.
I don't care for the bywater but some people love it. You will need your own transportation though.

You can probably get a lot more info in the Louisiana thread on the travel board

Went ahead and preordered a poster for jazz fest this year so I won't have to carry it around during the festival.

This years poster features Big Chief Bo Dollis, who unfortunately passed away earlier this year, just before the poster was unveiled.

For awhile, I thought they had thrown together that poster right after his death as a commemoration , but I just recently found out that was the planned poster all along and him passing away was just unfortunate timing. Quite sad. I think I'm skipping this year's poster though. I have a couple years in tubes collecting dust because I'm too cheap to frame right now.

Batteries havent been an issue for me but my fuckin volume down button broke after a year or so, and my wife thinks my expensive tv remote is useless and a bad purchase now. But she doesn't know poo poo.

I much prefer the newer remote that has the base station and phone app. End up using the app more than the remote itself, to be honest.

I know this isn't a new discovery but, $42 for the printer and $30 for new ink cartridges... is this poo poo ever going to get better? One review said that it tells you the ink is empty when it's not. Can you get a decent printer that's not a b/w laser?

Yeah, when people begin to realize print is stupid and start using digital for everything. I pine for the day some world wide occurrence fries every fax machine in existence.

You and everyone else has been saying this so I've learned to have a sense of reverence around it. It came with a spiky cup/handle to keep my precious sausage-grabbers safe.

You will one day feel the temptation to ditch that cumbersome guard tool because it does a lovely job and it's just so easy to hold the cucumber and slice.

Don't give in to this temptation.

Not gonna lie man, pedialyte popsicles are a life saver when you have some food poisoning issues. I've had days where I couldn't keep down powerade, much less crackers or anything, but I could keep down those.

Worth the 5$ or whatever they cost. If you have a freezer anyway, they are in the baby food aisle at whatever store you shop at.

Also great for summer hangovers!

Sorry auto goons, I opted for the DSG because I have never learned manual and don't want to start on my first real car purchase nor do I have much of a desire to.

Excellence in Punta Cana. We stayed at the Iberostar a couple years ago and liked it but Excellence was a bit cheaper this year and reviews were about equal.

We stayed at that exact resort for our honeymoon a couple years ago over Thanksgiving. It was the most fantastic and carefree vacation experience I ever had. They had a special Thanksgiving dinner and there were live turkeys walking around and a monkey to take pictures with.

I hope you got a club level room. The club lounge is a fantastic little hideaway and they always have some different type of snacks in there along with top shelf liquor.
