[quote]Oh, please... how can I be "wrong" about whom I want to tip and what for?[/quote] That's not even close to what I said. I was trying to explain there is more to the job then setting a plate on your table. Again, still not the point. However, and a big however, I don't want forced sharing of ANY of my funds. No matter what the job. My mind won't change. So, I will bow out
[quote]The way you see things it seems like you should suggest closing all company departments except sales as none of the other departments ever seem to make any money.[/quote] The other departments make a decent salary, not a base wage plus commision. At least around here. Still not the point though.
[quote]But I cannot say that I have ever really noticed a particularly good waiter. I notice the quality of the food and how long I had to wait. Both have nothing to do with the waiter.[/quote] I worked in the restaurant business for a very long time on both sides. You would be really wrong. The waiter sets the pace the orders go in, and a whole list of other things, but the service you get in restaurant is really not the point of this article. It hit close to home for me because I don
[quote]Pooling is an excellent system because it keeps competition down between the waiters and allows inclusion of he staff who make the food but don't meet the customer.[/quote] Competition is a good thing. When I worked back of the house, mostly cooking, I made a good wage and didn't need tips. The servers pooled tips not the rest of the staff.
[e digicons]:rofl:[/e] In the past I have taken on second jobs where the servers pooled the tips. That sucked big time for the hard workers and people who kept their sales up. When you have to constantly carry all the weight it will get old and eventually you stop working so hard or move on.
[quote]Thanks Kelly. You are my official silver lining pointer-outer[/quote] It is a sick flaw. I am sorry. [e digicons]:blush:[/e] But...the silver lining is .....I am a sicko optimist so nobody else has to be. ha...does that make sense? [e digicons]:S[/e]
And so it begins.... The silver lining is that you are there for him even if it through boxes, mail and phone calls. YOU... take care of yourself too. You can't help anyone else if you aren't o.k. O.K.?!
To me there is no such thing as a wasted education, whether you are a mom or anyone else.
This...this is the only thing that could get me to go into Chuck E. Cheese. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] This was very funny. Thanks for the laugh. I can just see it too. That mouse must take so much abuse. A little tumble with a drunk dude might let some of his/her anger out. Kind of like a a release valve. So, Paulie is actually a hero. He saved the mouse from killing the children. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote] If I push OnStar and refer to the operator as Kit I am more than halfway there. Tory Spelling wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole. That means I am around 1,o00ft or more. The girls that I did see in passing are basically skeletons that talk. Perfect for the Halloween season. If I wanted to sit around for an hour wondering what the hell is going on with these crazy people.... well I would call it Thanksgiving. [/quote] Those were my very favorite
The teacher will probably have you teaching that class by the end of the term. I knew you were brilliant. Now you do too![e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote]What would it take to appease the rich. the corporate CEOs? Hands off? Little to no government? Few taxes?[/quote] I am not rich, nor am I a CEO, but I do want hands off, little to no govenrment and fewer taxes. None of the politicians, R or D know how to handle money. It is time for a change. I think that NOTA is looking really good. Since that isn't going to happen now, I don't want Obama to decide who gets my money and since I am not rich I don't want
[quote]Both of us are particularly tired of the city life and ready for a rural change.[/quote] I agree whole heartedly. That's why we are waiting, and not so patiently, for our someday to build. It is a worthy dream. I hope yours comes fast.

So awesome..I liked that owl the best. Great pictures and I am glad you guys had a good time. It really is necessary to just get away. I always want to move to where I go on vacation. Is that crazy?
I vote for the suck my dick category. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Next time..oh and there will be a next time I can just feel it. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] We will also want to read about it. Then the chant begins... CAT Fight..do it...do it...do it... I think a hidden camera in this class is required for JU's entertainment. [e digicons]|-)[/e]
Wow, just wow! Mark, that place is beautiful. No wonder you want to go back. You have the best of both worlds, the ocean and the mountains. It's magnificent. I will be visiting you two! [e digicons]:D[/e]
There are always a few jerk parents at these gatherings isn't there? They ruin it for everyone around, especially their own children. You will get busy. It just will take time and passing out the cards at those functions is a great way to go. You should take some pictures of the the faces you like the best and save for eventually maybe some pamphlets or posters. That you can make on demand to save costs. Maybe another idea would be to contact the bowling alleys, skatin
I like to watch the neighbors mow the lawn. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Really, I do. Because that means I am sitting outside doing nothing and most likely it's a nice day. I like that. Enjoying the nothingness. My son has taken over the mowing. Maybe I should give him a break and do it. Just to check your theory out. I love reading you Roy.
I know exactly what you mean about down time. This may sound weird, but sometimes I wake up early just to have that quiet alone time. It really does wreak havoc on your mental outlook when you don't get to wind down. You being a teacher, might require a little more winding down. You have a tough job. So, here is to tomorrow's peace and quiet. [e digicons]:zzz:[/e]
Tonya, Wow, I am so sorry to hear about this. I think you are right, Something is off with Karen and his manipulating ways. I think this might be the thing that helps Gavin understand the severity. Just keep talking to Gavin and I know you and your husband will deal with it appropriately with the school. It sucks though, really sucks.

My kids change their mind everyday. I have to give my little one a deadline or we will be in trouble. Nice pumpkin picture.
Hell No!!! We still go.... [e digicons]XD[/e] I am lucky. My library just happens to be at the end of my block so I let my 8 year old go by himself now to check out a book. He loves it and it makes him read. I hope libraries don't go anywhere.
Woo Hoo! I am so very proud of you. What a great feeling of accomplishment you must feel. The course sounds awesome too. Sooooooo...when's the next one?[e digicons]:waaaa:[/e]
Nicky you really, really brighten up the place. It is so nice to hear an update about you and Kole. Now, we just have to await your next entry about what happens after the number is given! [e digicons]
