The Mrs and I love taking them with the casino perks. We can find cheap flights, usually use hotel points and get out very cheap. The mental resets really help us make it through both of our extremely stressful jobs.

I had no idea the chat was even close to 2000.



Facebook really wants me to join your cruise group to see what you and LK are posting.

The cruise the Mrs and I are on this weekend is a freebie from the cruise we took with LK back in Feb. We definitely plan to cruise out of TB again, sooner rather than later. I'll let you know.
 
I didn't particularly like AQOTWF because we just had a great WWI flick a few years ago and I am just a little war-flicked out (especially that particular war, trench warfare is a real bitch). It was done well though.

Yeah see I’m a terrible person to opine on it because I teach the book twice a year and and was so optimistic about the movie actually capturing what made the book great that it’s impossible for me to view it from any other perspective
 
my favorite coffee shop is still masking for when you come in and move about, which is p crazy to me

if you haven't stopped asking for masks by now, I'm wondering at what threshold you will
 
It lost so much of the beauty of the language and the camaraderie of the the characters and the gallows humor and the whole loss of hope for any meaningful life after the war of the book that it was impossible for me to like it. And it wasted so much time with the armistice side story that it lost time on developing the character of one of the most compelling narrators in the history of literature.
 
I was giving it a shot until the tanks scene and after that I was done.

Agree with the excessive Armistace part, but I thought they did a great job with the disparity of life after the war. Not as good as the book, but a solid representation, nonetheless. That being said, I don't teach the book, and read it only once 25 years ago.

This is why I don't read books. Don't want to spoil the movie. :)

The place around the corner from me just stopped a couple months ago. I had the same thoughts. At least they had masks available at the door for when I forgot which was pretty much every time.

I have a coworker that still masks. Do as you wish, but I just don't understand how someone that doesn't have to mask continues to do so. To each their own though.
