      Yup...

       

      If it's more than 3 hours, I'll upgrade. Anything less I can suffer the uncomfort.

      Really a finger is the only appropriate utensil for peanut butter unless it's too far down the jar.

  4. Suggestions for a place to eat in Lincoln for 20 adults, 4 babies and 2 kids? 

     

    Looking for something nice but not fancy. Right now I'm looking at Lazlos but want more options.

      Oh, wedding rehearsal places.

       

      Scratch Phat Jack's, Momo's, and all those places.

       

      I'd call Toast. They have pretty decent food, good beers on tap (& a full bar, and a room large enough to accommodate your group that can be sealed off from the rest of the restaurant.  I'm pretty sure with enough advance notice they'd reserve that space for you.

       

      Lazlo's down south (56th & Old Cheney) has a room that should accommodate that group, too. And it's pretty easy to get to from anywhere in town.

       

      Those would be the first places I'd call for a rehearsal dinner. 

       

      Good luck!

      Green Gateau downtown is nice. Lincoln doesn’t have many great dining options. For good food, I usually recommend driving to Omaha.

      Really, no Misty's yet? Downtown one is nice and pretty casual. Fireworks would be good too.

  5. I am downright amazed at what I can destroy with just a hammer.

      I wonder how quickly venues get booked for weddings on the bye weeks once they are announced.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      I wish people would take advantage of both bye weeks. Have 2 weddings tomorrow and they're predominately the same friends going to them but one's 3 hours north and the other in Lincoln.

      My laptop died in the middle of the meeting. I couldn't even get work done or read about football. It was tragic.

      Seattle is the answer to both of those questions. I'm relocating for a post-doc but it's expensive out there and post-docs make no money. Plus their housing market doesn't open up til 3 weeks before the move in date.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      No burbs you can live in that are cheaper?

    4. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      The closest least expensive burb is Renton, everything else is Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer Island...essentially really wealthy burbs. I have a buddy that is a real estate agent out there and most HS and college friends moved back to Seattle area. Any particular part of Seattle you're looking into? West Seattle, Eastlake, Cap Hill, Beacon Hill, Queen Anne? I can ask some buddies for their opinions.

      @ Man eating mastodon, it would seem I need a spring compressor of some sort. I also don't have a garage of any sort/jacks etc. Apartment living is not great for car repairs like this.

    4. ZRod

      You don't have to replace them... it's more fun if you don't. Just have some dramamine.

      "Teaching" in an interview is stupid. I have had to do that before, totally worthless.
