Hmmm, this one is weird. So, Wyndham Rewards wants you to donate all your SPG points and then they will quadruple this number and give you Wyndham Rewards points. Head for Points, based in UK, wrote about it first HERE and had some ideas how to burn these WR points. Someway, somehow…I think this will attract sorts of people who are good with a certain software. Wyndham Rewards is like that little duckling out there that just keeps trying to be noticed! If you want to do this…you need to do it NOW! I’ll pass.
Looks like me and Mile Nerd decided not to pump our readers with that Club1Hotels “opportunity”. So be it.
A new Hyatt Regency opened yesterday in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Looks nice, especially for just 8,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points!
PSA: Do NOT be a moron to blow your valuable SPG points for this. If you did…please.Leave.Now!
This is so wild. Watch These Skydivers Ride The Longest Swing In The World
The 25 Best Films of the 21st Century. Well, not sure about that. But each one has a preview so you can get a good sense of what you are about to see to see if you are interested.
Your personal finance fix of the day: Using Buffers to Become a Better Investor. Some really good advice here.
This picture from the Opening Ceremony of the 1980 Moscow Olympics (darn boycott!) is just INSANE!

Seeing that creepy picture of TPG again, makes me puke…
What absolute idiot would pay valuable Starpoints for time spent with TPG douchebag? Good lord, SPG should be ashamed of themselves for associating with such a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
New Hyatt looks interesting, have thought about checking out the ‘Stans one of these days
Don’t be angry.
I think burning points for a toaster would be a better value 🙂
My wife made me stop using the toaster – she said I didn’t have enough personal responsibility to keep from burning myself!!
Lol. I was too lazy to slice a bagel this morning and the darn thing got stuck…and, well, smoke alarm….I have the windows open today to get the smell out…Hope wife does not smell it 🙂
Morning
good
Finally a weird TBB photo location I’ve been to- SLO’s Dorn pyramid, not hell. Wyndham thing worth the risk if one is experienced with that particular software?
Wyndham already canceled it due to…fraud…Imagine that!
still can’t decide who I am going to vote for…..is it Mr. Macho who talks about grabbing Cats (is anyone really surprised he talks like that in private?) or the Old Bat who lets/enables her husband to actually assault them and the goes after them if they go public, H’MMM let me think….
BONE PREDICTS…….how long before the next tape of Trump being Trump comes out, not very
BONE PREDICTS….don’t worry about Billy Bush, sure he lost his gig at NBC, but he will soon be a Rockstar at TMZ
Old bat had to make the bad choice that a lot of phucked-up marriages have: stick with your ahole partner or suck it up and make the best of it. Yeah, attacking the victims was bad but were they victims or were them willing participants?
Before this is all over, I’ll bet we get some juicy tapes of women claiming Donny fondled them.
BC don’t you think the marriage is a total sham, I have a feeling she grabbed a few cats too
this is degenerating you guys…Come on!
Bill was a great president imho. And, seeing what we have to choose from, the best choice is Hillary. Yeah, I don’t like it either but this is our democracy. It is what is is, we move on….
You know we have gone off the rails when a respected conservative like George Will unloads on Trump with such…WOW!
Excerpt:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/donald-trumps-vile-candidacy-is-chemotherapy-for-the-gop/2016/10/10/73e40f30-8f05-11e6-9c85-ac42097b8cc0_story.html?curator=thereformedbroker&utm_campaign=buffer&utm_content=bufferb52a2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=.d41cca557cc7
Today, however, Trump should stay atop the ticket, for four reasons. First, he will give the nation the pleasure of seeing him join the one cohort, of the many cohorts he disdains, that he most despises — “losers.” Second, by continuing to campaign in the spirit of St. Louis, he can remind the nation of the useful axiom that there is no such thing as rock bottom. Third, by persevering through Nov. 8 he can simplify the GOP’s quadrennial exercise of writing its post-campaign autopsy, which this year can be published Nov. 9 in one sentence: “Perhaps it is imprudent to nominate a venomous charlatan.” Fourth, Trump is the GOP’s chemotherapy, a nauseating but, if carried through to completion, perhaps a curative experience.
I think Will is wrong: Chemo won’t get rid of the “deplorables” (some of who are Congressman).
They have been there since Day1 of Tea Party, causing a lot of hell for Obama and will continue to raise hell for Hillary.
This cancer–or “cure”, depending on your POV– in the Republican party goes beyond Trump.
One thing I do know for sure, the next President who ever it is, will be the most hated President in modern history starting day one. It will be an impossible mission to united the country during their Presidency unless some very horrible tragedy were to occur. I guess that is not only likely but is inevitable once the terrorist get their hands on something much more deadly. Either way I am burning my Draft Card and moving to Canada (Surrey BC, quite lovely actually). George be sure to send me a post card.
FYI Ian Wright of Globetrekker (PBS) did a great show on Iran. The people there seem to be awesome and highly educated. You can watch it online, good stuff

Pretty interesting article on approval ratings.
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-obamas-rising-approval-ratings-compare-with-recent-presidents/
I don’t think Hillary would care a bit about ratings, and would do the job how she wants to do the job, whereas I foresee Trump reacting to approval ratings and making decisions based on that, for better or worse.
The debate on Sunday made for good TV while doing next to nothing to sway voters of which I am NOT one…

Open question to all:
Any idea what I should do with my hoard of 200 SPG points? :~}
Oh oh…hope you did not donate them today!
Wyndham canceled the promotion to quadruple your SPG points already. LOL!
Damn, now can I tell the charity I want my SPG points back?
Good luck!
