I'd like to mail you a dollar bill to prove my point but regretfully I'm too cheap.

I'm trying to plan where to eat tonight there are so many great restaurants and the night life is ridiculous. Eat, drink, sleep, and repeat. I can't believe poor Jay exiled himself to China. Oh the curse of yellow fever!

Whoa, I'm playing Civilization V with some of my brother's mates and one of them apparently had to evacuate Tallahassee because of hurricane Irma. I had no idea it would be a problem so far North in Florida, but just heard on CNN it may well make landfall there and storm surges can be a problem... Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Originally posted by DJ RANN Designated Survivor is a guilty pleasure but it's more like Nikita crossed with 24. It's a little cheesey at times which is why I don't think it gets as much critical love but it's one of the highest watched shows in the US right now.

Oh, yeah, Maggie Q! I completely forgot about Nikita

Is it that popular? I had no idea. People on Facebook won't shut up about Game of Thrones, and I don't think I saw a single person mention Designated Survivor there, so I thought it was one of those series only people in waiting rooms watch

Originally posted by DJ RANN I loved 24. It gets real good in the middle seasons, especially 3-5, but - the last couple were a bit meh.

I guess it's because we're in the latter half of the first season, and the creators were still getting the hang of it or something

Not sure we'll make that far though - 24 episodes per season is a tad bit too much for us. We usually just watch 3 episodes per week!

Also, I can't believe you guys actually have money on you

I mean, I'm in a developing country and the last time I touched a Real bill must've been in late July or something... to give it to a beggar What do you use actual paper money for? Don't you make most payments with debit cards?

I have a mate who once brassily insisted that paper money was dead and that he was exclusively using his card henceforth. The next thing we did was walk in to a pub and he ordered a pint. The card reader didn't recognise his card and he had to run out to find a cash machine. Sucker.

Personally, I find it a lot easier to keep track of my money when it's physically depleting out of my wallet, which is apparently backed up by a lot of research on spending habits. And there are always transactions you might not necessarily want to show up on your bank statement...

I just found an actual bill from my wallet. No idea where it came from or how long it's been there.

I somehow missed this. 24 was shit. Really shit, and predictable, and Kiefer Sutherland is a shit actor.

Good post, and I've found myself in that embarrassing situation once or twice before (I keep cash in my wallet for bad shit though). I've actually found myself using cash a lot more in the last 12 months, for the same reason - budgeting. I'm saving up for something nice

Watching live coverage of Irma rolling in on The Weather Channel. I like the "wide stance" all the reporters are using to resist the wind. I think a similar "wide stance" got one of our Congressmen in trouble in the men's room at the Capitol a few years ago...

What kind?

I'm in the market for a fresh new pair. All black, of course.

Perhaps a pair of boots, since I'm actually subjecting myself to a winter this year.
