I'm confused. I thought that meganelinor video was about this superliberal chick in Arizona (Kimberly Hunt) who was fired for saying Charlie Kirk's kids were better off without him and is now raking in almost $80K on GoFundMe.

So I have a question. I don’t know a lot about the restaurant business but are CB’s franchise owned like fast food restaurants? So could franchise owners/GMs say “No, I’m not changing my store around” or slow roll it like I’ve seen some Dunkin’s in Florida?

Same as with servers then. Find a job that pays more. It’s their fault for doing a job for less than what they should be getting paid.

A lot of food delivery drivers jump right into the job after they lose their prior job because all you have to do is submit info and a background check and within a day or two you can work. It's much faster than applying to entry level places and waiting for a call and an interview. Those people normally do it when they are in-between jobs while waiting for their normal line of work.

Then don't order Doordash and go get it. Only desperate Dashers will take an order with no tip. Doordash doesn't pay great but people are out there trying to make a living when they are in-between jobs.

I have been driving for DD on and off for the last year only for little material things and when I have that month or two gap in military Active Duty pay and retired pay/VA disability, (one of them is College Football 25 for XBox). My area north of Tampa is pretty easy and safe because of all of the new build neighborhoods, retail, and apartments. My rule is I only do orders where it is at least $1 a mile or at least $5 just so I don't give the satisfaction to "no-tippers". Out of all of the times where I did an order where I saw no tip, only 5% of them gave me a cash tip. When I have ordered Doordash myself, it makes you put in a tip and if you don't want to tip, you have to pick "other" and put zero. Knowing this is why I don't do any no tip orders.

Worst Base: Robins AFB, GA. Crappy base is in a shithole town south of a ghetto arse city (Macon). Leadership sucked overall.

Facenda narrated a lot of sports highlight films besides NFL Films including baseball, basketball, and college football. NFL Films and Tel-Ra Productions were both based out of the Philadelphia area. You also heard other Philadelphia area voices doing NFL and Tel-Ra Films including Harry Kalas voice of the Phillies and Jefferson Kaye who was the booth announcer for the ABC station in Philadelphia and did all of the Super Bowl Highlight Films in the late 80s and early 90s.

News: Jack Cafferty and Sue Simmons on Live at Five and then Chuck Scarborough with Sue Simmons on WNBC News 4 New York
Sports: Len Berman
Weather: Dr. Frank Field who just died at 100 and then Al Roker

Age 8 until 18 in Tampa
News: WFLA Channel 8 (NBC) Bob Hite and Gayle Sierens who was a sports anchor prior to that and is the ultimate trivia question as the first female play-by-play announcer in NFL history.
Sports: Chris Thomas (The only sports anchor in the area who would call the Bucs, Lightning, and Rays out for being crap when they were bad.)
Weather: David Grant and then Steve Jerve
When WTVT Channel 13 got bought by Fox from being a CBS affiliate in 1994 I watched their news at 10pm and still do for most newscasts.

I enlisted in the Air Force and am retiring next year. I won't elaborate on all of those locales lol.

Maybe it's time to challenge the monopoly. NBC and Fox could do it. NBC has at least one useless channel on the weekend in CNBC and I doubt anyone would be unhappy if there were less episodes of SVU and the Chicago stuff on USA.

You could also have Fox broadcast and expand out FS1 and Fox Business on the weekends. The two should band together and assault ESPN and their rodent masters....especially on the college playoff by buying the rights to some bowls like Fox did in the 2000's. The 2008 Sugar Bowl with LSU ( Nat. Championship) was on Fox.

Never have I been happier that my Wolverines and the Big Ten are no longer on ESPN.

I would love for the CFP to leave ESPN for CBS, NBC, Fox, or a combo of those but everyone knows ESPN sucks CFP's dick and ESPN actually has right of first refusal for the CFP when the deal is up in 2025. It wouldn't be so bad if they had put the CFP Semi-Final and Final games on ABC but ESPN won't do that like the other 3 networks would.

re: TulaneLSU's statistical analysis of the merits and ratings of Publix, H-E-B, and Rouses

Posted by jerseyfla on 7/16/23 at 9:49 pm to TulaneLSU

Take this for what it is. New York born and Florida raised but have been stationed in New Jersey, Florida (x2), Mississippi, Ohio, and Georgia through the Air Force. I am a year from retirement living near MacDill AFB in Tampa.

I unfortunately have never been stationed in Texas where H-E-B is. I only saw it in passing on the bus in Basic Training and my Tech School was up in Wichita Falls which is podunk and didn't have H-E-B. But my Texas friends rant and rave about it!

I was stationed at Keesler 2010-2014 and have been to Rouse's in Ocean Springs, Gulfport, Diamondhead, and Slidell and maybe since OS and Gulfport were old A&Ps they seemed crappy except for the store made seafood and King Cakes.

My wife and I would make a monthly trek to Publix in Daphne and then Mobile when it opened for our PubSub fix and yes there were some Florida based items like Makoto's Japanese Dressings from Melbourne, Joffrey's Bagged Coffee from Tampa, and some local beers like Cigar City Brewing but like TulaneLSU said he is right there aren't many local items.

He definitely has it right that the prices are outragous at Publix and because of that we order our groceries for delivery through Kroger now which we had in Ohio and Georgia. Kroger's store label products to me rival Publix in most aspects. I really hope Kroger gets enough foothold to start building physical stores here in Florida and rival Publix like they do in every state outside of Florida.

Publix is a way of life in Florida. The only other options are Winn-Dixie or Aldi (I never count Wal-Mart as that is not a real grocery store). You pay for the experience at Publix. The stores he visited were probably at least 12 years old or were former Albertson's locations. The real good Publixes are the newest ones in Tampa. They have full on Coffee and Beer bars, Pizza bar, Burrito/Taco bar, and Rice Bowl bar. I think Publix like most stores along with the other 2 mentioned its location specific. You can have an expansive Publix with all of the bars above or a basic Publix with just Bakery and Deli.

And one more thing

But Publix sandwich-sub bar sadly just does not make the cut. The much ballyhooed subs at Publix fail for me. I tried two and both times I thought Subway made a better sub.

Are you on crack comparing Publix Subs to the McDonald's of sub places that smell like "bread fart"? I can name at least 5 sub joints that are better than Subway!

Who picks up Suzy Kolber? I think she is an instant hire for one of the other networks but it's tough being that we are a month away from Preseason football. There is really no room for her right now unless someone unceremoniously demotes a sideline reporter. CBS has Tracy Wolfson who is okay, Fox has Erin Andrews who is pretty good but looks got her the job (and a peephole film), and NBC has Melissa Stark who hadn't done sports for a while before getting hired to replace Michelle Tafoya.

I don't think Wheel makes a diversity pick for host unless it's Maggie Sajak or an "approachable" black guy like Michael Strahan or Alfonso Ribiero.

Out of the Wheel and Jeopardy duo, Wheel is the most watched now since Alex Trebek's passing and the majority of viewers skew older. Both of my grandparents watched Wheel and Jeopardy and now my mom who is in her mid 60s watches every single night. If Wheel's host is a "woke pick", viewership will tank.

re: Tell Me About your Dad

Posted by jerseyfla on 1/18/23 at 9:15 pm to Pullhook

My dad is 71 years old and a modern day Archie Bunker. I'm dead serious.

He is from Long Island, has the same mannerisms as Archie and most of the time, the same accent on certain words. He is the most stubborn human being on the planet. We moved to Florida and it took me getting stationed in New Jersey in 2001 for him to leave the state to visit. He has a strained relationship with his side of the family. He couldn't care less about any of them.

He gradually became obese over the years. He never listened to doctors about his health, now he has tons of health issues, mostly diabetes and kidney issues.

Diehard conservative. Somewhat of a biggot in his views, for example he said only black NFL players kneeled, Obama is why I didn't get promoted faster in the Air Force, and he flipped out when I deployed to UAE 7 years ago because I would go off base with my buddies to shop in Dubai and he kept saying I'm supporting terrorism by buying merchandise in the malls there.

He would only listen to 50s/60s oldies, Polka, and Country Music and he would force my sister and I to listen to it when we were growing up. We weren't allowed to change the station no matter what! According to him any classic rock is "pothead music", any 80s music is "gay music", and any music made after 1990 is considered "rap". When I got my own car at 16, I had to play catch up with popular music. I spent years despising Country Music because of it.

He would mostly watch police, military dramas, and classic sitcoms. Nowadays, all he watches is RFD TV, Fox News, Bay News 9 (24 hour local news), and some Discovery Channel shows. We bought him a smart TV for Christmas so he could watch his shows and movies anytime he wants on many of the apps that I subscribe to. He won't give up the DVR from the cable company, I have yet to see him use any of the apps.

He always wore loose 3 or 4 XL t-shirts with sweat shorts or jeans with wide width sneakers from the edema in his feet. He didn't give a crap what other people thought about him when he would go out ot the store. I would come to dinner in nice shirt, khaki shorts, or jeans and he would pull me aside and say "could you give me a hand with this?" and it would be something that would be sure to get me dirty.

He has every tool known to man and tries to pass them all down to me even though I don't want to use my garage like Sanford and Son!

And lastly blame all of the injuries of my kids and younger college and pro athletes on being too weak because they "play too much Nintendo".

My sister and I don't know how my Mom has stuck with him for 45 years!

re: What's the Best Breed of Dog You've Owned?

Posted by jerseyfla on 12/18/22 at 8:19 pm to WB Davis

I grew up with Labrador Retrievers all of my life. I will never not own a Lab. Marley and Me made me sob like an unstable emotional mess when I watched it. My wife and I's first child before our first child was a yellow Lab named Chandler because his litter brother was named Joey. We had him for almost 14 years and he was the best dog ever.

We are such huge dog lovers that we tried having 2 other dogs (females) at once between Chandler and our new yellow lab Carter (named after Gary) and we sadly failed. We adopted a German Shepherd/Husky mix (Isabelle) at almost 2 that was extremely smart that we loved and she loved us, mostly me but she was stubborn and took no shite from any other dog but her and Chandler got along well. When we put Chandler to sleep, we adopted a Black Lab/German Shepherd mix (Jasmine) by then Izzy was 8 so we figured Izzy would be a good big sister and help keep Jasmine in line. Jasmine was very smart but we found out very territorial if she wasn't in play mode playing ball with other dogs and she would jump on our autistic son during his meltdowns. This went on well for over 2 years until we found our family cat mauled and dead in the living room. My wife and I thought of getting rid of one them but we didn't know who killed him. We thought Izzy because she would always chase him around the house and get a little too rough. Well, a month later a piece of food fell on the floor and all of a sudden, the 2 bitches barked and fought over it. I had to keep them separated for a month and then they seemed okay for a few months but then they brawled again but this time Izzy growled first then Jasmine had Isabelle pinned down so we figured Izzy killed the cat. We sadly rehomed Izzy and it was the biggest mistake we ever made with a pet and we regret it to this day. We moved to Florida a year later, stayed with my parents while we were house shopping and then I get phone call a few months later that Jasmine started attacking my parents innocent yellow lab and ripped a good chunk of out the side of her out of nowhere. We had to put Jasmine down. We decided to only have a purebred Lab from here on and maybe down the road we will get an American Shepherd for a little dog.
