Nuh.

I host catered parties in hotel suites. (No no, seriously, it’s not douchie. Try it, it’s really not nearly as expensive as you might think at all. Just hide your bottles as you bring them up otherwise the guest services might jack you with a corkage charge.) Also, yep, the hotel does all the cleanup.

‘How to politely ask a fucking loudmouth asswipe to be more quiet’.

Correct.

Aunt Alma used bulk peanut oil from a jug, a large bag of super clean unpeeled russets grated and ‘forearm building’ cheese clothed (our job), a whole bag of finely chopped Vidalia onions, matzo with a copper measure full of Dr. Oetker baking powder (maybe 3 tablespoons).

I absolutely and totally disagree.

Driving bravery is very subjective. Bali is relatively easy. (Seriously.Not trying to go off in a douchie direction here.)

An example pic of the ‘Terracotta Soldiers & Horses’ hall in Xi’An on a sunny November afternoon 2017. If you look closely you can see the Chinese bus tour on the other side. When they all left, following the tour guide flag bearers out, I was completely alone in that enormous hall until they closed. Two hours by…

Bali. Right now. Cathay Pacific shoulder season. Cheap cheap cheap.

“can be used to book tee times at any of the nurses the app partners with”.

Oh, you mean the CA Republican platforms that now suddenly insist on the cutting of state services, specifically the ones that monitor food handling? You know, like the inspectors that give all restaurants their A and B ratings?

Nick, your header pic is especially poignant because it shows the small area where there’s a main river taxi pier, (Saphan Taksin Pier, just beside the bridge over the Chao Phraya River.) It’s also right next to a main SkyTrain Station. Also, in the pic, is the CentrePoint Hotel in center foreground and the Chatrium…
