80 years young! He still looks pretty good for a octogenarian, but I attribute that to his rigorous gardening and workout schedule, and a steady diet of mediocre tex-mex.
When are the fajitas coming? I’m hungry. It’s almost 4:30.
He sent me a telegram yesterday with instructions to crank up the ‘ol victrola to listen to this new smash hit.
WASHINGTON — President Obama said Saturday that he had learned only last week that Hillary Rodham Clinton used a private email system for her official correspondence while she was secretary of state.
In the portion of the interview that was released, Mr. Obama did not address how he could have avoided noticing that Mrs. Clinton was sending emails from a “clintonemail.com” address throughout the years she served in his administration.
Servers are going to get bigger sections, and make less – since the restaurants are going to HAVE to raise prices, and now folks will figure that they’re getting PAID and a tip is just extra (which some people already think, even though most waitstaff get a paycheck with ****** where the numbers are supposed to be.)
You have to 1) be a bad server and 2) be a moron to think this is going to work to the advantage of tipped workers.
Service was horrible too. I counted 7 empty tables when they seated us at a table that I saw had been empty for at least 20 minutes.
There were at least 8 families behind us waiting for a table. Hostess just stood there, staring off into space.
In retrospect, we should have left and gone elsewhere.
It never used to be that bad, but they’ve changed, man. Nothing’s like it was when I was younger, when we would walk 25 miles to go to the only diner in 3 counties. They would serve an entire head of cabbage to each of us for just 3 ha-pennies each. And all the waiters wore onions on their belts, which was the style at the time…..
I fed 4 buffalo at Waffle House for $50. If they would get a liquor license I’d never leave.
The “guy” we had serving us last time had his hair in a bun and was wearing a little eye makeup. This trip “he” was working the grill in full Tammy-Fay face-paint. I commented to Mrs. Buffalone that his mom probably didn’t help him learn to apply rouge.
Last time we went to Chili’s for lunch we split an appetizer, lunch meal (some kind of double burger) and had lemonade to drink. I can’t remember the total but it was under $30 with the tip and I didn’t feel like I was in a food coma.
Houston has a lady mayor who wears lumberjack shirts. Austin is sadly behind in that trend.

To hell with Sarah Hoyt. She keeps preaching the mantra of “in the end, we win and they lose.” Sorry sugartits, but in the real world, sometimes the bad guys win. The problem that we have now is that the GOP leadership is willing to lie through their teeth to conservatives in order to get votes. But if we primary one of their members, our guy gets no support, or even hostility from the rest of the GOP. Screw them, and screw her.
He’s trying to figure out a way to sneak her into the tree without the rest of the Keebler Elves finding out about the whole milk and cookies thing she does.
We went to 4 parks before ending up running the dogs on the mesa. Too many people out with their dogs and kids. MaryAnn was drive- by barking at all the sidewalk dogs.
I don’t cook (Shocka) and Dan gets all blah blah blah and a little snarky about cooking ALL the time. Me: What’s for dinna? Dan: What did you prepare? Me: (Oh God not this bitchy stuff again) Let’s get burgers. Fin.
Last time we went out for Messican food: 75$. Dan had the 3 item combo, I had the fajitas. Bar was full, but our server gave us the Happy Hour House Margarita price=2 margs a piece and a post HH Dos Equis Amber. (Dan is always trying to get me to drink water when we go out to save money.)
Sean, we do live in the high desert. That must be it. Nothing to do with him being tight. (3 of our Pre-Cana classes dealt with finances and emotional issues with money. Who knew a Catholic fill in the blank test would be so accurate?)
I know COAlex wants to keep Dan in the event of a divorce, but really!!! Dan: How about tacos for dinner? Me: Sure. I like tacos. Dan: I knew that. Fin.
FB people need to read DiTs link at TBR. His daughter wrote an awesome story and was recognized by the Austin Chronicle. Mebbe someone with skills can link here.
Dan called his mom and told her we would be by tomorrow to take her to lunch, the bank, and MVD Express. She just called back asking when we’d be there. She got dressed and ready. I am so ready to bypass SIL and just TCOB.
Roamy,
My last hack altered the registry so that system restore was unavailable.
Pissed me off. Machine is still fucked-up.
I can’t play videos, sound don’t work. Many apps are fucked. It’s nice hardware, but, If I could save mail and documents, I’d be tempted to go to Windows-10.
Maybe I’ll just go to Costco and get a laptop…
ChrisP, mine will boot up, but nothing will run. I open Firefox, it sits there with a blank page for a couple of seconds then closes itself. Same for IE.
SiL is insisting on going on any “Money” meetings. Dan and I could GAF. She just doesn’t get that we don’t GAF. If she wants to go, she can take MIL. We’re the same way with my Mom. I’m ready to cut a bitch.
I don’t care where MiL decides to live. I just want her safe. SiL is trying to go cheap and move her into the hood. I am so fucking pissed right now. Dan is responsible for 90% of the care. SiL and Aunt Jackie can kiss my ass.
MiL is a chicken freak. I H8 CHKN. Every day off Dan and I have together are spent with MiL. Eating CHKN. Popeye’s, Claim Jumper, Outback, KFC, McDonald’s. All CHKN all the time.
FACK!!! Dan is friends with familia on FB. He’s asking me questions about my Aunt Cece’s BF and how he’s related to us on FB. Me: He’s my mom’s ex-boyfriends younger brother who is related to the Lucero sisters that married Sheriff Brady. (Why does our tree not branch? Kerrigan’d)
My role lately is supporting Dan. I am so ready to tell SiL off. I hope MiL lives long enough to drain all savings from the estate and to give SiL and her loser kids the big FU.

CT may raise the minimum wage for tipped workers from $5.78 to $9.15 per hour. That’s after forcing paid sick days.
So if you have 20 employees, and are open 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, it will only cost the owner $262,080 per year.
What could go wrong?
You are an idiot if you try to run a business in this state.

Couple of week’s back, we went to the Vietnamese restraint. 5 of us, plus appetizers and a couple of beers for me: $80, including tip.

$54 for shrimp pizza and beers is outrageous.
I gave your mom just the tip.

The amount of construction in Charlotte is shocking. There must be 2000 or 3000 apartment units being built.
The only reason we went to Chili’s is because they fucked up a take-out order about a month ago and I bitchedabout it on Twitter.
They contacted me and sent me $20 in Chili’s coupons.
I would complain about last night, but they would probably just send me more coupons and the horrible cycle would continue.
The only construction here is Gov’t funded.
Move to FL, TX, or SC.
