Imo Regular pepsi is as good or better than coke imo. Diet Mt. Dew is also great. After that, coke has better products (All versions of sprite, diet drinks, flavored etc).

The big aspect is mixing drinks. Coke, diet drinks and sprite all mix better than any any pepsi product.

Thanks for your reply... I don't really mind that someone knows where I work, or who they are. I just wouldn't want my livelihood to be in jeopardy over anything I've shared here... 

yeah man, again sorry i don’t want to be spreading any negativity to folks for no reason. Don’t need that karma, that’s for sure.

I've got to admit this sounds a bit like some kind of threat, and I hope that I'm wrong about that... However, I wouldn't take it lightly...

whoa man totally misunderstanding what I was saying. Definitely not a threat, really sorry you took it that way. There’s a lot of pointless stuff to do but definitely no point in messing with strangers on the internet. Again sorry you took it that way. . Doxing just means looking them up, it’s not hard to put together little pieces of evidence and figure out who people are. I’m sure i’ve dropped enough nuggets about my personal life that it wouldnT be hard to figure out who I am.

I'm going to be honest with you. I'm pretty sure that the twenty or thirty people who read this aren't going to go into any sort of deep research that would be required to figure out WHERE the lake house is or WHO the owner is... I'm pretty sure that there are probably a thousand pictures of this house on other people's social media that gets a whole lot more readership than mine... 

i’m guilty of doxing the business and owners just out of curiosity and fasciation. That said, I have no clue whose the other social media thing would be or the lakehouse. If i get bored tonight maybe I’ll take a crack at it lol.

My not spending big money until NYC went out the window with UFC last night but I figured Amanda Nunes is 34 years old. She probably isn’t going to fight much longer. The odds of her fighting in Texas again are pretty low. And I think seeing her fight in person will be looked back at as the female equivalent of seeing Muhammad Ali fight. So I had to go. I think I have enough credit card points to cover it as as a statement credit.

love watching her, my friend from hs that i told the story about a while back who could kick any dude’s butt actually trained her in some stuff well over 10 years ago.

What are your thoughts about the female basketball player that got busted with drugs in Russia? I believe that she should rot in Russian prison until she learns to appreciate America, the GREATEST country on Earth. Apparently she's one of the players who kneeled for our national anthem, and she knew damn well that she had drugs in her suitcase. 

I want her to rot for a different reason. 1) she’s a wife beater. 2) we have the largest prison population of mostly drug offenders of any country. Until biden releases those people i think it is hyprocrital for us to question anyone else’s drug laws. As far as the protesting goes, it’s her god given right as an american to criticize and protest the government. Maybe it’s the punk rocker in me but i think that is the greatest thing about this country.

They both agree that a strip club on the ship would be “fire” and they would stay there all cruise. Also, they aren’t sure where the movies are played… theater or Lido screen. 

my kind of people, I've said this for years. I've been saying they should get sports betting and that is supposed to happen soon so maybe strip clubs are right around the corner.

Sid have you ever done a Stone Mountain Fourth of July? My Ohio transplant friend did it this year and said it was spectacular. I'm already considering it for next year.

Thats kinda what i thought to thx. Yeah we are skipping elegant.  Thanks!

Go to elegant night if you want the food! You paid your cruisefare and if someone is offended, they weren’t raised right. There’s a lot of stuff on the scale of being inconsiderate to others and this doesn’t even register.

Usually only government, school, & bank employees get all of those federal holidays. At my job we only get 6: New Year's, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day. That's it. 

It's pretty messed up that Good Friday used to be a given 30 years ago and now no one gets it.

What a long week it's been already, and it's only Monday... It all started with a phone call before I had even left for work. Last week, "mom" had three teeth pulled at the dentist, and still hadn't recovered from it. She was having pain and was nauseous, so I stopped by and picked her up before coming to work.

 

When I got here, the HR guy suggested going over to the minute clinic, so we headed there. Almost immediately, they said "no, you should probably go see your dentist"... I called them, and they didn't have any openings today at all. So, next I called the owner (her) who had just gotten back from vacation. She suggested taking her up to the IV clinic to get some fluids, and she would meet us over there. We got there before it even opened at 10:00, so we waited outside. We finally got in, and the whole ordeal there took about an hour. When all was said and done, she felt a little better, but still not great. The owner said she would bring her some lunch by in a little while, so I went to drop her off back home.

 

By this point, it was almost lunch time, but when I got back there was a whole store full of customers. This continued until well into lunch break, but all I had was some chips and salsa and some popcorn, so I wasn't too excited about that anyway. 

 

Next, some of the guys decided to confront the big boss about having to work on Juneteenth, and that went over like a lead balloon. We already get A LOT of holidays here, over and beyond what normal people get. Of course, everyone would like to have more days off, but at the same time, he's got a business to run. In the end, he said that he'd consider it for next year, but today was just going to be another work day... It's still another hour and a half till quitting time, and I'm already worn out for the week...

 

In other news, the lady boss is taking me to Houston's tonight for helping out with "mom" while she was out of town... I was going to try not to drink, but those margaritas are going to be calling my name:)

Props to you coworkers for addressing that, they are truly fighting the good fight. You do work for a really generous group of people so I recognize your position as well.

I think Juneteenth is a pretty important holiday. It's not Easter or Christmas important, but I think that Juneteenth should take priority over MLK Day, Columbus Day or Thanksgiving. I'd argue that it is right up there in importance with Memorial Day and Veterans Day (which I place just below my religious holidays) and def more important than Labor Day and Independence Day. I'm not sure what all holidays you guys get and I hope you don't lose one (other than Columbus Day) in the process but it is something that should be considered thoughtfully.

Weird/random comment but I'm a big fan of Mr's bracelet. Drew my eye in a couple pictures not even looking super hard.

Any chance you'd know where he got it/where I could get one?

We took my girls at ages 6 and 4 and they loved it. My son is insanely excited. I hope it’s a good time. I will need an adults cruise to recover, hence the 7/11 cruise to follow. This is gonna be waterslides and waterworks and mule-ing kid crap… oh my! 😆

Bless you all! I love the description, I've spent many, many vacations and trips doing the same and it's not always fun but the memories are priceless.

I'm really excited for this, no pressure but hoping to use this to convince a friend with kids to try cruising! His kids are much younger but I think they'd have a blast.

This first dish is a rerun from the other night: aguachile...

 

 

How is the aguachile? Spicy? It's one of my favorite dishes and I never see it on menus. Do you eat it on land and if so, how does it compare?

That meal looked amazing. I wish Virgin went out of a different port, I think they may be a great option for me to get some friends hooked on cruising.

Things change in life all the time....most of us are thrilled @sid_9169has regained the spring in his step and is willing to take us along for his b2b cruise!  Hope you join along!

I literally said glad to see a change of heart, why would you post this like I was being a jerk?

I thought you retired from live reviews? Glad to see the change of heart!

Given that you have both done so many cruises over years, what is your favorite ports? San Juan always seems high up there with diamond people I've talked to. I like it myself. 

I think it will be in the single digits by the Fourth of July. I will buy at 11 and 8 and 5. Just hope it doesn't become a penny stock.

We have had cheers I think 3 or 4 times now. Up until our last cruise we would hit maybe once a cruise. Our cruise last August on the Horizon we both hit it everyday. We were more then coherent and wouldn't say you would consider us drunks. We never begged and pleaded for extras though just meant it was time for bed. I realized when I got home what that really did to me. I think I put almost 20pds on and I was holding so much water it was hard to get my shoes on lol. It was worth it though. 

i know this exact feeling, I put on 17 pounds on a 7 day cruise from drinking a ton and eating so many sweet and salty foods. I’d guess 80-90% of it is water because it’s all gone in a week or two.

There’s no way you can compare different races to the differences between males and females. Different races = different skin colors while the differences between males and females physical attributes are very big. 

no they aren’t, it’s just pseudoscience looking for justifications of an anti-human policy. Have you ever heard of phrenology? 

Did deedle get banned? I don’t keep up or post as much as I used to but I don’t think I’ve seen a post from her in months
