You are a service person's dream! My previous job was in the hotel industry, and I can't drive home the fact enough, that service personnel really rely on their tips for their income.

Although I worked in the business offices, I had friends in housekeeping, valet and restaurant staff. They really busted their tails to please the guests.

I really believe in tipping for exceptional service. And if you frequent a place often enough they will treat you very, very well. The other night we went to dinner at my favorite restaurant and they practically fell over themselves because we never go on a Tuesday night and "our table" was occupied. I said I'll take any table you have! I'm here for the food...not the view! They laughed. After we were seated I tried to access a website on my phone and it wouln't load. I concluded there was something wrong with the server and she heard that and thought I was referring to her. I felt so bad because she is an exceptional server and we had a good laugh when I explained it to her. I left her an even nicer tip. And they have the best clam cakes and chowder!

Ha! One year we went down December 23rd and my folks came with, went home New Years Eve and we stayed at total of 2.5 weeks. We avoided telling my MIL (chicken about the forthcoming guilt trip) that we would be gone for the Holidays. Then one day when my son was over at her home, she said something about Christmas and he said that's OK, we won't be here, were going to Disney World with my other Grandma. Out of the mouths of Babes.

That GUILT is horrible! At one time I would spend every Christmas at Disney and then drive down to Naples and come home at the end of January early February. On Christmas Day I would call my dear old ma and wish her a Merry Christmas. She would then proceed to tell me that she was all alone on Christmas. She usually left out the fact that there were at least 5 or 6 people there with her. But, yeah, she was "all alone."

Anyone else ever watch that insurance commercial where that guy is trying to drive with a soft serve cone, runs into the pirate as the cone goes everywhere and think "Dumb***"? I think tvs should have Like/Dislike buttons for commercials.

I think I'd hit the Dislike button more than the Like button.

And FYI - I am at least 30 (maybe 40) lbs heavier right now.
Y'all won't even recognize me in my upcoming pics.

And thankfully, he has shaved off that awful goatee, which he insists on growing twice/year.

Oh my........... 6'8". I would be up to his belly button. I am 5' 2" and probably shrinking and I feel short next to my husband who is 6' tall. Your family is definitely the big and tall shop.

Carp, carp, carp.

My left ear is not better, and now my right ear also feels like I am swimming under water.
No pain, just an annoying pressure, and diminished hearing in both ears.

Considering this was diagnosed as an outer ear infection, there is no way it should have spread to the other ear.

Guess I'm headed back to the doctor's tomorrow.

Sympathy "like".
Hope they found somethin' to help ya', and you're feelin' better for your trip!

Oooopsss...
Double post.

I should watch Love Actually tonight in spite of Haloween.

Snow is a bad four-letter word.
How come I'm the only one getting demerit points for four-letter words that start with "s"?

How do you know when you get a demerit point? Does it show as an alert?

Back from the Dr's.
Fluid trapped behind the eardrum in both ears. No sense continuing with the drops.

He started to write a scrip for the one and only antibiotic that might help. Sadly, it's also the one and only antibiotic to which I am allergic.

His best advice - hit the Advil Cold & Sinus gel caps hard for the next 36 hours.
2 capsules every 4 hours. Chew gum. Stretch my jaw to make my ears pop. Generally suck it up.

I wish they could suck up the fluid. Is there anything to draw it out?

Yes I can. I believe it has been 6 times this month. Flies into Ohare and there is only one road in and out and then all the way downtown, they empty the entire expressway. Once he flew into Gary IN and helicoptered to Illinois, we Illinoisans were dang happy about it. Generally they arriving during evening rush hour. He still owns his home in Illinois and they generally stay in it when they are in Chicago. Safest block in Chicago.
