Is anyone watching the Euros....(FOOTBALL tournament not the money). Watching the game during the week is hard for anyone not in Europe due to the time difference but I know Italy won yesterday.

I want England or Germany to win. Just like every time the Euros/World Cup is on. Italy, France and Germany would be my home countries though so I guess I'm biased towards them too. Portugal would be one too but I don't like Ronaldo.

I never follow baseball, but I am well familiar with that park. Now, this was many years ago, but when I was a teenager, one of my brothers rented an ice cream truck and would park it outside of the park. Quite a few people would buy ice cream before heading inside to the game.

My brother (who was about 18 at the time) didn't have any sort of city vendor's permit to sell there, so we often would have to sell quick, and move quick when the patrol officer headed in our direction. :p (He'd move the truck around about 3-4 times during the game.)

Some of the other vendors had a permit; while some others (without permits) did the cat and mouse routine like us. Lastly, we heard (anecdotally) that there were also some, without permits, that "donated" a few dollars and/or food, to the patrol cop who would somehow not notice that the vendor did not display a permit. ;) Hee hee, it was the pulse of the city back then, sort of a street code/vibe thing. There were no secrets. (Nowadays, that area is pretty much locked down in enforced regulations for all outside independent vendors.)

Your brother has good business sense at a young age! Back in the day I used to sell soda and bottled water for $1 a piece at stadium parking lots many years ago to the masses with temps at times 100 degrees. I read about a story of a 9 year old girl scout who made great sales on her girl scout cookies outside a marijuana dispensary store in San Diego called Urbn Leaf. The girl sold 300 cookie boxes in 6 hours according to her father who was with her. According to the Girls Scout organization one could not set up a booth so the young girl w/ her father pushed her wagon up and down the street selling to the people on line .

When we lived with my in-laws, we didn't have a box spring, only a mattress on a frame, and I HATED that bed. I could not get comfortable, always woke up achy in the morning. I won't ever go without a box spring again. It really killed my joints. Maybe the mattress was just poor quality, but it's not a chance I'm willing to take.

I had never purchased a bedroom set before and I didn't know until I went to turn the mattress over months later that it had a built in box spring and didn't really need another. That said, however, the way the bed frame is set up it has to have both or the head board is way to high. The thickness of the "mattress" meant that I had to buy oversized sheets to get it to completely encase the mattress (bottom sheet anyway. I think now though that I can buy just a regular mattress and everything will still look ok and I won't need a ladder to get into it. No supporting spring just makes it an unfoldable futon.

This one is my 30460th post. This is the first time I even looked for that number. No, party because over 30,000 post means that I am spending what little time I have left gawking at my computer screen. And I know I'm not even close to the champions.
