SDS speaks wisely - ecspecially about the "tip". Let the serving staff "kinda" of know what is in store for them at evening's end and the level of service should definitely be attentive. There will always be chislers and cheaters at such events - accept, ignore and move on - the moment is too good to waste.

SC Rules that Local Governments can evict
Bob Lamb replied to Arkady Renko's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So the wishes of a handful of people takes priority over an entire region ? Plus the rest of the county has to pay higher taxes just to placate a few people ? A dying region is in need of this boost. Sometimes, situations arise that need tweeking for a good reason. 365992[/snapback] Mark - What if it was your house ? -
My grandparent's ancestral home (built in 1841) is owned clear and free by the family. The structure is at the middle of a semi-blind 90 degree turn which the State of NY wants to "widen" for safety because it is a "truck" route. There has been a standing offer for years for the property - never accepted. There is no commercial issue involved - but who is to say that what this ruling will do next ? The 5th Amendment has just been gutted like catfish on a hot Mississippi day. Bob Lonsberry misses sometimes - but not today "Simply put, your home is your home only as long as the government says its your home. But the moment somebody with pull covets your home, business or property, it's gone. You do not have the right to own property. Not after yesterday. It went away. The Fifth Amendment says "Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Nowhere in there does it authorize the taking of private property for private use. The Constitution doesn't authorize it, but now the Supreme Court does. Which makes two things very important: Who gets appointed to the Supreme Court. And the Second Amendment." http://www.lonsberry.com/writings.cfm?go=4

The "10 Commandments Ruling" comes on Monday http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2004Oct12.html I think it's time to go buy me a "scatter" gun -
I wear mine infrequently because of food splillage issues and they are not in Spanish - which confuses the locals Most San Diego people have little understanding of "Tailgate"

Alright - it's the dead of football season and even I'm getting bored - I just purchased a two disc set (not available on 8-track) of Harry Chapin performing at the Bottom Line in Januray, 1981 - six months before he died in an auto accident on the LIE. I know all the songs by heart and still own every album - but thought the "live" recording might be different and the Bottom Line was certainly a special place. It was fine - but that made me think - with so many music fans here - what one artist (deceased) would you pay good money for to see one more time ? I would have to include lead singers for notable groups - not that I know any. If Harry Chapin was appearing at Melody Fair in N.T tommorrow - I'd be there - who needs A/C ?

Because someone remembered my favorite pie. Must be a lesson there somewhere! 366801[/snapback] For my birthday last year (I don't have them anymore) - a heavy box came from Florida from my daughter. It was a strange occurence and unexpected. A little history - in my extended family, no matter whose house there was always the dictionary - a hulking 10-20 pound monster that was the ultimate authority for all homework, disputes and Scrabble (later Boggle) games. My daughter was raised on our monster and learned to hate it because we would never spell or define things for her - she was always told - "Go look it up." The PC age surplanted the dictionary but the book was always there. I usually kept it next to the PC desk for easy reference. Then the new dog came along - never chewed a shoe in its' life - loves kleenex, eats flowers of its' choice and has shown a propensity for old books. We suspect that the smell of the old glue in the binding is a beagle aphrodisiac because there have been a few literary victims. The old dictionary was one - a good chunk of the letters G - K were missing one day. When the big move to California happened - the old dictionary was a casualty - not worth moving. Then, Rock - just like your daughter - mine paid attention and in that box - was an old, used 20 lb monster from a flea market. It may not have "blog" or "cellphone" in it - but I can look up "coelentererates" and the correct definition of inflammable. It's not on the floor anymore. A pie would have been good too - but I know her cooking skills The same daughter just bought a condo in Florida and very soon she gets a dictionary (paper) in the mail - she won't use it but it can always hold a coffee cup ! Sorry for long winded - but sometimes kids surprise you .

And The filmakers wonder why sales (revenue) is slumping - too many repeats Batman was everything it should be and hopefully F4 will be too (because they have never been told before) Rewriting "The War of The Worlds" will work with Gen X but you can never replace the original How many times can you remake "Dawn of the Dead" ? Special FX Can only get you so far Forbidden Planet anyone ? http://www.forbidden-planet.org/Robby/

I used to go to the Braves games for $4 (orange) on my student ID and so thoroughly enjoyed the old NBA - Big Bob (so skinny), Randy Smith (Buff State) and Ernie D. (he and Marvin Barnes from Providence) Adrian Dantley aand John Shumate as #1's So much Potential - But Paul Snyder (who screwed so many) was screwed by the Knoxes (for playing dates) and John Y / Henry Mangurian (sic) completed all the screwing there was to do in the Aud This SI Cover hangs on my wall to this day http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...bayphotohosting Heard makes the bucket, MacAdoo is behind him and under the label is over Jim McMilliam. Randy is the backcourt. I was there in SRO the night Darrel Garrelston called "The Foul" I have to remind the yuppies that in the old NBA - you used to score 120 points a night and still lose the game but they don't get it

Four - so far - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/california_eart...HVjBHNlYwNtcA-- Last Sunday's - we were still in bed - I'm reading and she's still sleeping when the quake gives a good, quick jolt. She wakes up and starts yelling at me - what did I do and why did I wake her up ? Had to be somebody's fault. Did I mention my wife is anti-social and grumpy until the second cup of morning java has soaked in ? We have visitors from Scotland at work and they are waiting in anticipation for a quake but did not feel either of them.

Very common in mountain passes and narrow road routes or over long bridges - usually high profile vehicles - cars can be affected when there is loss of traction One example: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20...s_7m17wind.html

Well - He is an ex-satanist ? http://answers.org/Satan/warnke10.html "Another alleged ex-Satanist, Hershel Smith, purchased the Witchmobile from Morris Cerullo and began his own tour. Smith's testimony, seen in the 1974 book The Devil and Mr. Smith, coauthored by Dave Hunt, was an apparent effort to one-up The Satan Seller." What does TD know ?
