If you ever get the chance to, don't.

Just flew from New York to Manila with a stopover in Beijing and back. What a miserable experience. Just a simple transfer in Beijing requires a Visa, and going through three different security checks. One when you get off the plane (guess they don't want you stealing the little pillows, one after you go through immigration/customs (even for a transfer, you need a visa) and one before you board the next plane. And they had one guy doing the Visa's for about 40 people, and he moved like Tim Conway from the old Carol Burnett show. For you younger folks, that means he moved very very slow. I am all for security, because I don't like the thought of being blown up. But that was ridiculous.

No individual air vents on the planes, and they took out the armrest between the seats. Fortunately my wife was with me and didn't mind to much if I took up to much room. :)

On the brightside, the stewardesses were really hot. And the food was tolerable.

Went to visit my wife's family. And it was the first visit for me. Mostly just visited with family, although we did take a tour of Corregidor, where US and Filipino troops held out for several months against Japanese troops in 1941/42.

Thailand is the hooker capitol. Manila is the internet bride capital. Not that I met mine that way. My wife was working as a tutor for some rich Arab's kid when I was stationed in Bahrain.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around. Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      They can get fuged for a 6th and 7th. Doesn't make sense for us for anything less than a 4th and them paying a majority of his salary.
