My dad is stuck in whatever decade it was where 10% was good. Drives my mom and I nuts. When we call it to his attention, he's always a little abashed. But then, he forgets. We make up for it, and thankfully, for business trips 20% is assumed, so he usually always does it when putting it on the university card. But it is kind of annoying. I've had to run back into restaurants when we realize we left the tip to Dad.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A while back, a waitress at a Chicago restaurant got a $10,000 tip (I forget the exact amount - it was at least ten grand, maybe more). The customer was obviously rich. She and the customer had been discussing her plans to go to medical school (I don't remember if she was already a student).

I keep smelling skunk. And no, it isn't the gas additive. That smells different. It isn't outside...

And how much do I LOVE the fact I'm going to see family where pictures will be taken with a HUGE cystic hormone zit on my chin? Not to mention that the cause still hasn't made itself known.
Thank god the flight is only 2 hours.

Fun.
I love that this area has a huge stock of chanukah stuff, especially in my neighborhood. Means I can be grinchy and stock up on silver and blue paper to wrap stuff. Plus, the chanukah stuff is way less cheesy. So far. I figure, give it time.
I saw the most incredible menorah in an art shop the other day. Silver and glass, almost like they were one in the same. Not too modern, not too classic. Just...elegant. I like the classic brass menorah I was familiar with when I was little, but this thing? OMG. It was so incredible. It was also a couple grand. Even so, had the price not been a barrier, I have issues with glomming on to other beliefs that I don't believe. Including xmas, which is why the value in it for me is the tradition, not the actual reason. And since tradition is shot...a grinchy grinchgrinch GRINCH is born!!!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just skipped about 1,000 messages.
Mostly because I finally started watching Alias reruns and can't believe I missed watching this show when there were redeemable qualities. Though I spend more than your average bear's amount of time thinking, "Cute outfit" / "Ewww, kill the costumer" / "The hell? That was a plan?" It's amusing.
