I went out the front door to go to work this morning - just before 9:00. I like to walk to work in the summer if weather is nice, but today I stopped at my car to grab an umbrella I keep in there just in case. As I got into the...

I have mentioned along the way that I feed birds in my yard and enjoy all that activity. I also started taking pretty long fitness walks early each morning. Now, I am not going to say that it was lack of gratitude on the part of...

Tom Lucas No lie, last year I was 'christened' two days in a row by seagulls. I forget which happened first, but I think it was the time that it hit me in the thigh of my jeans as I was eating Chinese food in an outside dining area. I was with my wife and daughter at...

Voluntarily right now, of course. They make it easy for the employees to do everyday tasks like operate the copy machine, buy snacks, etc. No more passwords to remember. Would you do this? Do you think it will become standard...

Tom Lucas I am a bit paranoid of the potential monitoring and Big Brother aspects of this type of technology and any hacking dangers that might come along with it, but I have often thought that GPS tracking of people through an implanted device (although intrusive and...

You don't see a connection between the two facts? I don't, either. So we're already two. Together with my husband of 38 years we are even a threesome. A member who behaved in a way that induced me to report him to admin, sent me...

Tom Lucas LOL! Anybody who has the time/energy/spite to report a plagiarism MUST be divorced! That logic is irrefutable! I must admit though that I have copied and pasted items here in the past that can also be found in nearly verbatim form elsewhere online. The fact...

Tom Lucas That was exactly why she sought out the managers' opinions and why they held the money for a week. In retrospect, maybe they should have held it for a month, but what it all comes down to is that she EARNED whatever tip the guy saw fit to leave ON THE DAY...

Tom Lucas She really wouldn't be entitled to anything more that the $300 itself if she was successful (which I fully believe she would have been). He likely would have only spent a nominal additional amount for a filing fee in small claims court.

Tom Lucas He would have a tough way to go, but the time and effort and bad PR ultimately wouldn't offset the $300 tip.

Tom Lucas I think he would have had some issues fighting it given that HE wrote the amount, HE added it up and HE signed it; but it really wasn't worth the bad PR or the time/effort for the store or my daughter to challenge him on it.

Tom Lucas I agree. If he MEANT to leave $3, he should have asked for $297 back. I suppose since he thought they were trying to steal from him that she deserved nothing... But he even said to the manager he was upset because she 'seemed so nice' when she waited on him....

Tom Lucas The ONLY thing I can figure is that maybe he did not notice the charge until his credit card statement came in the mail. But even in that case it didn't warrant his rude and threatening behavior.

One of my goals this year was to get more organized in my home. I did get a headstart a couple of months ago, but lately I've been slacking off. There's just so much to do, it feels overwhelming. But I'm determined to get the job...

Tom Lucas @dramagirl26 Yes. Although in fairness, a good portion of it was my dad's doing. He had stuff up in the attic (only accessible through a trap door in the top of the garage) and that was at least 15 or 20 bags of trash! She also made about $500 one weekend...

Tom Lucas Two thoughts: (1) Is there any chance that the new owner is buying the property as an investment property - to continue to rent it out? If so, why not get in touch with them to see if they would consider allowing you to stay on as a tenant and just start...
