Grandma's 5 Questions for 6/19/20
Re: Grandma's 5 Questions for 6/19/20
My friend asked his dad (who owns a few boats) how much some of those things were and his dad simply said "if you have to ask then you can't afford them in the first place".jeepinjayhawk wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 1:13 pmTake what you think is the most it could cost...multiply times 3.
Seriously, I can't believe that people still buy these fucking things.

still feeling good about my canoe investment.

1. Wrigley
2. Maybe. The question is the textbook definition of "White Elephant". I can't imagine the sale price of a $500k boat being much under $250k 10 years later. Also, I can't imagine the costs being >$25k per year (maybe I'm wrong, having never owned a boat). In this scenario I'm essentially breaking even, not counting the cost-of-money.
3. Teeth. They are both crooked and cramped.
4. "Recently" is restrictive as I haven't had a sit-down restaurant meal in nearly four months. However, having two young-20-something girls at home during the sheltering has given me the opportunity to enjoy some fantastic meals. A week or so ago daughter2 made enchiladas, rice and a spinach-bean sautee all from scratch. Better than many restaurant meals
5. Kind of amusing
To Plano's point, a friend described owning an RV thusly: Best two days in the life of an RV owner are the day he bought it and the day he sold it. I presume that applies to the boat as well. Although a few friends own sailboats and they enjoy it immensely, and so have I when I have had the pleasure of visiting them. One guy used to live on it several days a week as it was docked closer to work than his house (he showered at work)

Chicago. Lincoln Park. For a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant it's pretty pretty pretty good.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 6:39 pmYou in Vegas? Or is there 1 in Chicago?....i went to the one in Vegas at the Paris Hotel/Casino and it was amazing.
We had a great waitress last night too.

I laughed.
It's been free to ride the bus in Chicago and I think come Monday they start charging again.
I'm not a Matzah (spell it however you please) ball guy but I love me some challah.
My apartment lacks atmosphere but if you ever come to Chicago I'll happily take you somewhere decent to get you some soup and bread.
