    When you eat out do you leave a tip for bad service?

    Quote: If the 10% comment was directed at me, I already explained its different here. They just recently changed the minimum tip to 15%. I have proof, if anyone really cares that much. Also at some restaurants you can easily drop over $50 and get nothing more than a burger dropped in front...

    Do You Think That Hanging Laundry Outside Looks Bad?

    Quote: Some retirement establishments are really fancy, for wealthy retirees. Elderly yuppies. Like my in-laws!

    When you eat out do you leave a tip for bad service?

    Quote: For as long as I can remember (and that's a long time) the standard tip for restaurant service was 15%. Have you ever noticed that you receive unusually poor service the second time you patronize a particular restaurant? Ten percent is a tithe, what you're supposed to give at church...

    Red rock cross or red sussex cross roosters?

    I live near Brookswood in Langley, in a country residential area. I use the term "Vancouver" loosely, maybe I should change it to "Greater Vancouver Area" in my avatar. I will gladly post the results. If we order the chicks this weekend we should get them no later than 5 weeks from now...

    Do You Think That Hanging Laundry Outside Looks Bad?

    I don't thin it looks bad at all. I'd do it if I had a line. Nothing beats the smell of sun dried laundry! As far as communities not allowing things, my husband's parents bought a place in Arizona in a retirement golfing community where they go every year. Nobody is allowed to have an older...

    When you eat out do you leave a tip for bad service?

    I've not tipped on a couple of occasions, but only when we were treated rudely, or if the food is of very poor quality. Once my mom took me out for lunch and we ordered soup and sandwiches, and the soup was obviously a low-budget canned alphabet soup that tasted awful, and the sandwich was a...

    Is there anybody who just isn't into Christmas?

    Me! But I already posted my Scrooge-dom on the other Christmas thread, no need to reiterate it here.

    Disney want to makeover Mickey!!!!!!!!!!!

    When's the last time any of you actually enjoyed a disney movie? Not since The Lion King, for me. After computer animation came out all the disney flicks went down the tube. And their non animated movies are awful as well, IMO. I love classic disney, they should just keep it that way! Why...

    RIR and white rocks

    We processed our first White Rock roo last weekend. He was just a couple weeks shy of 16 weeks and, in my humble, inexperienced opinion, a very nice size. Their legs and thighs are very large, there is a ton of meat on them and this was on a young bird, too. The breast doesn't compare to a...

    Red rock cross or red sussex cross roosters?

    Thanks so much puck-puck, that info is very helpful! I was leaning toward the red sussex cross too, the hens sound good so hopefully the roosters will follow suit! As far as crowing goes, we've decided that if we have to, we'll process most of them early if they turn out to be early crowers...

    Star trek?

    Quote: That's awesome! Do you make your own captain's log with that? I'm glad the movie's finally out, I know what I want to do this weekend. Movie night!

    Red rock cross or red sussex cross roosters?

    No, I really meant White Plymouth Rocks. We have a flock of White Rock pullets and roos, and are planning on hatching our own for meat purposes. We are in the process right now of butchering our extra roosters. The pullets won't be ready to lay eggs for a couple months yet and we are wanting...

    "Before you know it, it'll be Christmas"...

    Quote: They started putting Christmas stuff up in September! By the time Christmas rolls around, I'm just sick of the whole thing. I don't even get excited about Christmas anymore. A lot of forced dinners with family I don't really want to see, and money I don't really want to spend. And...

    Oily stains on clothing

    A bib might be a good option. All of my clothes have stains on them too. I've learned not to wear things I care about while eating something messy. The one product that worked was Melaluca spot remover, I don't know if they still make it though, or if Melaluca even exists still.

    "Before you know it, it'll be Christmas"...

    b.hromada : If you notice, every year, they start to put up Christmas decorations earlier and earlier! What about Thanksgiving?? I love that holiday, and they seem to just kinda forget about it. They started putting Christmas stuff up in September! By the time Christmas rolls around...

    Red rock cross or red sussex cross roosters?

    I was wondering if anyone has raised red rock or red sussex cross roosters before as a meat bird. The hatchery where we got our birds from advertises them as a good dual purpose chicken and we are thinking about ordering some until we can hatch out our own meat birds from our White Rocks. Its...

    Head Cold Need help

    Quote: EWW! That happened to me once at my old job. A girl coughed in my face, and a couple days later I was sick, and I was sick for about two months, too. Man, people are GROSS!!

    My FIL's property he was renting out was broken into a couple years ago. The renters had moved out and the place wasn't empty for two weeks before crackheads came in and TRASHED the house, looking for copper pipes. They broke into my hubby's truck that he was storing there and stole all of his...
