The Lounge 3 w ago

Best three letter acronym in the government: MRA

Minimum Retirement Age. Make that your target and plan for it. Worked for me.

Got to ask: Why even have Lounge boards. TSL is supposed to be about sports

I get they provide community but seems getting rid of them (current and upcoming new one) would also go along way towards eliminating the off topic (non-sports) posts. Does the message traffic and clicks on the Lounge help that much financially?

Romero actually came back from Brazil

It should have never come to that - ownership should have said he’ll no Captain, your ass is staying here and backing the Club. Go Gunners!!!!

Only cash donations unfortunately. I wanted to do appreciated stock

but it doesn’t count for a non-itemized deduction above the line donation. Still going to donate to SERTC though!

Big game today @Chris Coleman, big game

Can’t believe your Club is in this position, although for me it’s very entertaining. If Palace get the first goal, that stadium atmosphere will be toxic.

DC was a gifted musician who was also a POS

We’re all flawed in some way but he was on another level.

I’ve been up in that crane

when it was allowed. No longer the case now. Actually supposed to be torn down but no money for it. Personnel actually went up in it for their re- enlistment ceremony.

To make it more bearable, you can pay each six month payment

in two payments. I do this so I end up spreading the pain into four payments over a year’s time.

If you’re day tripping, go cheap on where you stay

No sense spending a premium for prime beachfront or get hit with add on resort fees. Rent a car and drive Oahu. Easily doable in a day. Better yet, split your stay with a place around Honolulu and then another on the North Shore. A must: time your travel around morning and afternoon work day travel. Normal traffic is a bear; throw in an accident and it’s unbearable. Above all, go to Leonard’s Bakery and get a box of malasadas. Shaved ice from a food truck on North Shore too. Yum!

Timing might be off but go to Norfolk, tour Wisconsin, dinner at Doumar’s

Very good ship tour (you’re a week early though when they light it up for Christmas) and you’ll see the first ice cream cone maker at Doumar’s. If you want to stretch your legs, go to Mount Trashmore to walk/run laps. Very nice rec facility (VA Beach is capable of doing something right on occasion). Better yet, go to the oceanfront and walk the boardwalk. Ice cream cone at DQ while you get in steps. If not in a rush Sunday morning, go to Doc Taylor’s for breakfast and a mimosa and then walk it off. Note: you can park at Doc’s for free and go for that walk, just tell the staff. If you want something to do very close by, go to Enson Market right down the street on Indian River Road. It’s a huge Asian market with a variety of food and other products. Walk the aisles and you’re bound to find something to take home. Tip: in the back of the right side of the store there are refrigerators with great pastries - get some. Bad news: Founders Inn is in a terrible traffic corridor. Being just off the interstate might minimize the pain but it’s still a mess.

Americans swallow over 60 billion dollars of unregulated supplements

down their throats every year, many of which are totally worthless. Protein powders with lead values grossly exceeding acceptable limits? Yummy.

Great news

No fun losing body parts. Glad you got to keep it.

Parking at Margaret Beeks Elementary School for football game

Does anyone know how much it costs to park there and when they open up the parking lot prior to game starting? Asking for an ODU buddy who’s going to the game. Thanks!

Eze to The Arsenal! Told you ChrisC!

Crazy how things work out. I thought it was a lost cause when Ethan Nwaneri signed (was supposedly linked to Eze if Ethan moved on) but then Havertz gets injured. I was originally going by him being a former Arsenal Academy player as to why I thought he would be a Gunner plus I think he would definitely get more playing time in a year leading up to the World Cup at Tottenham. Eze was sold the Arsenal project months in advance of Tottenham's move so I'm guessing that in the end won him over. Go Arsenal!

Space related: NASA Wallops Island Visitor Center slated for closure Oct 1

This is 100% a travesty. I’ve been a few times for rocket launches and it’s a great experience. The staff there are really informative and you get live updates while you wait. They even clued us in to the ISS passing by while we were waiting for a rocket launch that would be resupplying it. Amazing how β€œclose” it was but would not have known about without being told. From what I can tell, they’ll only be launching sounding rockets prior to closure, one of which will carry university experiments including one from VA Tech. If you’re passing through the Eastern Shore prior to closure, it’s worth a stop even without a launch.

Going to pay a fortune. Teams know you got to fill a need

the season is getting ready to start, and the window has just a few weeks left. Levy going to have to crack open the Club wallet and spend - and he hates that. FYI: Spurs finally landed a quality gaffer - Frank is really, really good.

Love it

I have the Woburn. It absolutely kicks ass.

Tom Morello and friends, Lincoln Theatre, DC, November 15 presale now

Code PRETEND. Cheap ticket all things considered - essentially 60 bucks. He’s just coming off organizing the Ozzy/Black Sabbath show. 🀘

Your a good host but man, that’s tough to stomach for sure

I visited my BIL at his RV campsite yesterday. He spends hours getting it ready, making the drive, unloading and setting up, cooking, drinking!, then does everything again in reverse order. I told him he is not only committed but needs to be committed.

AOE grad here with an emphasis on O

Weight is definitely important. Number one rule of submarines: number of dives MUST equal number of surfaces. I once worked on a team evaluating a foreign navy’s design and building of a submarine. Half way through their build they realized they lost weight control management - they essentially built a sinker. Needless to say, we came up with a way to adjust the design so the sub would indeed surface.

The Lounge 1 y ago

Great watch. Agyemang not getting subbed is mind boggling.

Long ball over the top service to him was part of the game plan and he did not step up. Luna was MIA. Appreciate Adams, Ream, and Richards showing veteran leadership and actually showing up for this tournament leading up to the World Cup. Those who didn’t show have a lot to prove. Encouraged by the effort. Mexico was just better.

The Lounge 1 y ago

Yes on Tillman, no on Agyemang for me

He had a horrible first half. I counted one 50-50 he won, usually against a guy he had 6 inches in height on. Made a horrendous pass to Luna that would have likely been a third goal. If Poch can’t come up with a couple 9s better then Agyemang to roster, it’ll be a shame.
