I’ve found some Acela fares that were only $20 more than regular Regional coach on the Northeast Corridor. As an Amtrak Guest Rewards cardholder, I get a free upgrade coupon annually so that’s generally the trip I use to redeem that coupon.

Caveat emptor however. I purchased a used cable modem on eBay for my elderly parents and 6 months later, my Mom asked why she was being charged a modem rental fee from Comcast. I called Comcast and was told that the previous owner actually rented my modem and never returned it after cancelling service.

My local hospital is located in a poor, urban area. Every 2 months I get this unsolicited magazine from them full of articles on fancy golf vacations and featuring ads for luxury items.

I tried scheduling an appointment with my dermatologist to examine a suspicious mole on my face. I had to wait 6 weeks for an appointment. 

You lost me at “I love the Highline.”

I went to a therapist for a few years for my depression. He really didn’t give me much helpful advice and my depression is still there but we talked about sports a lot and my insurance covered it so it was a pleasant 30 minute distraction to my generally lousy day.

Great analysis. Nova was pretty terrible early in the season and the Big East in general wasn’t a strong conference this year. Wildcats really struggled against Seton Hall in the BET. I give the Pirates a better chance of winning a few games in this tournament.

Moving the Whale out of Hartford was really a low point for the Bettman-era NHL but if this Storm Surge stuff puts fans in the seats in Raleigh, then good for them.

I visited in January. High temps were in the 70s and it felt glorious. The waterpark was closed for the season so I didn’t have to drag the kids there.

Oh sheesh my best friend dog passed away in October and I have her ashes on my shelf and now I am crying. Dogs are awesome.

I’ve walked into several Walgreens & CVS stores requesting a styptic pencil and more often than not, I have been met with blank stares from the employees.

You got a very NP for your Audi, and I say that as a former Audi owner.

However, I’m assuming that the rental car companies performed regular maintenance on those vehicles so purchasing from them may not be a bad deal.

I know that Mojo is on the Bruins now, but the Devils - who had mostly-AHL-level talent throughout the season - are saddled with a crazy list of injured players right now. I’m waiting for organization to invite season ticket holders to suit up for the Devils before a future home game.

The cruise control on my 1990 100 Avant crapped out and we replaced it with one from a Ford because Audi wanted $$$ for one.

I owned a 1990 100 Avant and by far it was the most unreliable car I’ve ever owned. At 90k miles the clearcoat started peeling off, the headliner began sagging, cruise control broke, the climate control unit stopped working and my transmission died. Regarding the latter, the car was quite rare so we were unable to…

Does “time serves” include his stint as a member of the the University of Miami football team?

This is another why I’ll never adopt a dog under 35 lbs.

My dad is going through something similar and is aware that he can’t find the correct word. It’s driving him nuts!

I used to tell my now-deceased grandmother, “I love visiting you grandma because I can repeat the same topic every 10 minutes and you’ll treat it like a completely new conversation.”
