Hey, Seattle-area goons.. Wife and I are taking a 1 week cruise in September. Leaves 22 and comes back 29th. I'll be needing a hotel for the night of 22 (any maybe 29-30) and a place to park our car for a week. Recommendations? Looks like there is LT parking near the pier which we'll probably end up using, but open to suggestions for parking and a room.

Oh gently caress. You may want to consider consulting with a lawyer more sooner than later, just in case.

Totally anecdotal but my mother's last two vehicles were x rental units and both have been absolutely trouble-free. Mitsubishi RVR and a grand am before that.

I actively want my parents/in laws to go through as much of their money as they can before they kick it. It's theirs, they earned it. Enjoy it. If dad wants a 60s muscle car and he can afford it, do it. Buy a big RV and explore? Knock yourself out. Just for the love of god all I want them to do is downsize/get rid of their poo poo before they get too old. If they get hit by a bus going through all the junk they've amassed in the past few decades which are mostly garage sale finds would be absolutely painful and make us kids rent a dumpster to clean out their house.

My old Canon MP530 inkjet is still chugging along after about, oh, 12 years? Every now and then gets pissy when I need to put a new tank in it (doesn't like sending the carriage over) but eventually it works. I think when it does eventually die though, I'll be going laser.

the spyder posted:My iPhone 6 has finally reached end of life, after surviving being dropped down 5 flights of stairs and dunked in a wash bucket. The screen is now bleeding, the mic port and external speaker are dead, and most troublesome the alarm no longer produces any auditory or vibrations. I missed a 1am emergency call from work and overslept through a meeting last week. I’ve started looking at replacements, but I can’t justify $750+ for another iPhone when I don’t use the Apple ecosystem. I’ve been looking at OnePlus and the Pixel 3a as alternatives. Any others I should check out? Moto G family for a capable but budget friendly phone

Applebees Appetizer posted:A thing happened to me last night at about 2am Late to this, but that really sucks dude. Breathing sucks with broken ribs, laughing is even worse.... but sneezing worse than that. Was the driver charged with impaired? Hard a weird TKD class last night. A novice instructor was giving us a really weird drill, wanted us to catch a full power kick. When you're partnering with someone that is erratic the end result is about is good as you can expect. Caught her kick in my thumb and pushed it way, way, waaay back. Hurt like a motherfucker. Within 30 seconds we were gearing up for sparring and I physically couldn't put my glove on my hand. Just as well in hindsight. In the changeroom about 10 minutes afterwards and short use of a coldpack  This morning  At least it's my left hand. The bruising is just starting to show but the center of my palm and thumb is going to be wicked purple. No way my watch could slide over my hand this AM either LOL. Have a wedding to go to tomorrow as well so I'll be driving for 7 hours tonight so I won't even be able to keep icing it. Whelp.

I'd take the Isuzu  Think I posted last month (don't remember) but when my folks were visiting end of last month Dad ended up needing some emergency hernia surgery and they discovered a mass in his lung during imaging for the hernia. Just confirmed Stage III lung cancer. Lifelong smoker until about 4 years ago and is in the best shape I've ever seen him in (he's my stepdad, married my Mom about 21 years ago). If it wasn't for the hernia we'd never know. Not great news obviously, but since we found out about the mass not a surprise. Had a couple weeks to prepare for it. I am now preparing for roller coaster ride that's just beginning. Don't think I slept more than 45 minutes last night knowing this news was coming down the pipe. A new concern I have, and I realized this last night lying in bed, is keeping them away from all the cancer bullshit on the internet and they are on facebook all the loving time.

Thanks guys - not looking for sympathy, just more of an outlet. Genuinely appreciate it. I've always been one to hope for the best, prepare for the worst. He's a tough bastard and literally the luckiest guy I know (other than, well, cancer, obviously).

STR posted:... are those late 90s Cavalier headlights? We have a small little local pizza place in the population 9000 bedroom community I live in. Actually, we have 5 pizza places in this small town and because of there being so many no specific one seem to be super patronized. But my favorite is this little place running out of the kitchen of a closed hotel owned by best I can figure out 3 immigrant families (of interestingly 3 different ethnicities) scratching out a living. The pizza is, quite honestly, some of the best I've ever had anywhere. It is fantastic. So good, I'd drive from an hour away just to eat there. I would be heartbroken if this place closes due to lack of business so I do my part with telling people about it, only buying my pizza there and leaving positive reviews. Anyhow, buying lunch tomorrow for 14-16 guys so I went in and ordered a whole shitload of pizza, onion rings, wings. Totally made the guys' day who took my order  On the way out I noticed they had BIG slices of pizza for $3. Haven't eaten lunch yet, so why not. Gave him $5 and told him to keep the change. Dude was just beaming at me. Took the all meat (bacon, ham, pepperoni, italian sausage). The pizza it came from is probably 18", so it's a big slice Holy poo poo. My favorite best pizza ever just might have got replaced... by another pizza from the same place. And I'm stuffed. Support your local food guys.

As someone whose client base is mostly in the food industry, there are all sorts of things you don't want to know about. Flour milling, potato processing and sugar production attract all sorts of interesting critters. Adiabatic posted:I'm working on tomatoes.

So you gotta buy from Jerry, and escape this disappearing land... Had to go out of town today and was listening to the Muller testimony so got drive-thru, which was a KFC Big Crunch. I haven't had one in ages and wasn't shockingly swimming in grease. Ate it, about to hit the road to come home 2 hours later. Was hot day and had a couple hours behind the wheel imminent and a little munchy, pulled through the drive DQ drive-thru and ordered a large blizzard. I think I had the calories for the rest of the month in that 3 hours. And that was what I've eaten for all day. Jesus christ, I'm a literal child.

ER Doc this AM advised he had a poor prognosis of recovery and we were looking at $15k in surgeries to even try. Poor baby wasn’t even 2 years old. Happily chase those bunnies wherever you are, Teddy. T-Square posted:I'm loving done with this country.  for me.
