The mall rents at double what he's paying now, is just greedy. He's been there for 6 years as a good business tenant, and has brought in customers, who may then visit other stores in the mall, too. These types of short-sighted, quick buck decisions (doubling the rent), can backfire and I hope it does. :mad:

Yea, I'm not exactly clear on how the doubling came about, and I would have no way of knowing what Zumiez is paying in their current location in the same mall. I too was shocked, but, the owner says that double what he is currently paying is what was settled on, and I have no reason not to believe him.
Yep, sounds crazy, I know, but, if that's what the market will bear...

We use to eat at Applebee's pretty frequently for a while and all of a sudden you could almost see the same staff have an attitude, it wasn't like that before. Then one meal my baked potato came with this teeny tiny dish of sour cream. I asked if I could have a couple more cause what that was was only good for a forkful. They complied. The bill came and I was charged for 2 additional sour creams sides @ $1 each.
I felt badly for the server but the manager was a jerk about it and we were known loyal patrons. That was our last Applebee's experience, they got the $2 and never a penny more.

Woof.
Don't remember anything like that ever happening at our local Applebee's. Always great service and great food.

Yep, perfumes and colognes make me do that o_O too. Worse if I'm at a table with guys and ladies all wearing something else. Nasty.

It's funny, because I really didn't have any issues with it when I was younger, and wore cologne regularly myself. Aramis, Stetson, Polo, whatever was popular. DWifey wore perfume too, but, neither of us bathed in the stuff, like some folks seem to. As we kept dating we eventually quit wearing perfumes and colognes pretty much completely. We liked each others natural scents much better.
Can't remember the last time either of us put any on...

Gotta sign off here. Big thunderstorm outside and my dog is shaking like a leaf! He's such a wuss. :rolleyes:

Have you ever tried a thunder blanket? Our neighbors have it for their dog. It keeps her very calm during a thunder storm. When I dog sat for them, I would put it on her if I was going to be gone for a long period of time as it kept her calm as well. It works wonders for her.

Probably the new owners thinks they can recover their investment fast.
They are stupid.. as sometimes.. that can kill business AND malls.

Stay Calm? :eek: I DO understand what my Dad is going through, always have if you've read my posts. I am there for him constantly advocating for him, feeding him, sitting him up and laying him down. It is over a two hour round trip for me to just to drive. It is tiring and very stressful, been doing this since February. Yes his being incapacitated has dramatically altered his life, my life and my families, that's a fact but that is what family does for each other.

What I offered in my post to @Cesar R M was friendship and support as he too has stepped up to the plate to deal with a family member. I said to him "Oh Dear I am sorry. If it is any comfort I am living the same life right now. It is so difficult to see the ones we love decline. I'm here for you as we walk this road." I never indicated it was a PICNIC for his grandma or my father. You called me out specifically in this post and quoted my empathy post to Cesar with: "It's no picnic for the one that's declining either. Just sayin." was so unnecessary given what I said to Cesar and yes I take offense being poked at when it comes to family and health. To follow that up with Gabe Stay Calm, who says things like that under the circumstances? I'm sorry or I apologize would have been more appropriate.

We have all offered you support and good thoughts as you too have struggled with your health and more support as you too struggled with your daughters Moms health. We were all sincere. I too have received many very nice posts of encouragement from our thread for my Dad, me and my family. I genuinely appreciate kind words. After having said something inappropriate to me following it up with Gabe, stay calm was just uncalled for.

I am sorry you're going through this.

So my internship is going really well, so well that my boss took me out to lunch today. He spent about five minutes talking with me about work, and then we talked about the Orioles and Disney for the rest of lunch. :hilarious:

But the good news is that they want to bring me in as an enrollment agent, which is part-time and paid! :D
