re: Tipping at restaurants

Posted by tadman on 4/28/24 at 5:01 pm
We recently had a waitress at a local restaurant get on facebook for a local group and lose her mind over tipping (or stinginess). Not a good look. If you are a waitress and not enjoying your compensation, given the shortage of jobs couldn't you just go to a different job? Maybe one that doesn't ...

Absolutely neither, ever. No chance. WTF would you want with either??? BR has little going for it unless you grew up there, I visit a few times per year and have never had an experience that I consider memorable other than some good meat markets. I don't hate the place but never seriosly consider...

re: Chicago for Cubs' game

Used to live there a mile from the field for a long time. This is a great bachelor party event. Bleachers are good, it's like the infield at Indy 500 - a bit rowdy and fun. Bring sun protection as you are staring right into the sun on afternoon games. Also rooftops can be fun if you have a group...

I don't love IAH but Hobby is a huge no-go. It's a total dive in every way possible. Another reason not to fly SWA....
Had a rat snake in my garage last night. Don't mind as they are effective pest control but those sumbitches STINK. I thought one of the dogs left a giant cleveland steamer for me when we got home from dinner. Nope, just a rat snake hiding in a box of garden hose nozzles....

I've been there a handful of times and never really fell in love. The city is stunning but the "lets go to some and get laid" thing plus the throngs of tourists really makes it unlovable. I think this is a wise move by the city. Also with the some of the best public transit in the world, this jus...
