Sorry about the laziness of my earlier post. I was at school, and the thought struck me. I did look it up just now. At least with Webull, one must be 18.

Quick ? Does anyone know if being of age (18) is a requirement for online stock accounts like Webull (what I use)? I have a 16 year-old and a 10 year-old. I'd like to get them started.

Someone posted above about how tipping allows a waiter to somewhat control his/her wages. This is true. I did it all when living in Knoxville. I waited, was in charge of our banquet room/parties, delivered for parties of 50, 100+, worked the to go window, etc... The few times in which tip-sharing was required, the hard workers like myself worked just as hard; the lazy asses were, well, lazy. All the arguing on this thread somewhat simplifies the point. For example, it's possible this guy just put the sandwiches in a bag and took them to another location. In that case, he'd better be really effing happy with $87. When I catered for the Mexican restaurant I worked for, I went in 2 hours early, organized everything, made tortillas, etc... I then set the food up at the location and returned later to pick up the serving chafers, utensils, etc... So I often put in a good 3+ hours on orders over $500. I almost always got 25%+. There were other orders in which I basically just took the food (in disposable containers) to another location. In that case, $10-$20 was ok assuming I didn't have to drive too far. As far as to go (Macaroni Grille), a buck or two for small orders/$5+ for orders over $50 was the norm. One last thing... You never truly know the situation your waiter, delivery driver, etc... has "behind the scenes". Some places do share-tip. When I worked to go, I busted my ass all night helping others. It wasn't just a sit-and-occasionally put an order together. I had to help bus, run food, clean, etc... If it was a slow night and I only had a couple of orders, I worked my butt off for several hours for less than, say, $10. Customers would have had no idea. This is why I ALWAYS tip very well regardless of the situation. Hell, I'll tip well for bad service. The only time I ever tipped as low as 15% was a time when the waitress - literally - sat on her phone at another table throughout our entire meal. Even then, I told myself that, perhaps she was dealing was something important. tl;dr - There are many, many different factors at play when dealing with waiters and delivery drivers.

I forgot about that. Good question. Kind of funnny that this is one of the handful of shows my wife and I both like.

So I meet my wife and kids, who were shopping, my parents, and my SIL at Buffalo Wild Wings on Saturday. Since I'd had a couple and needed to go by Sams, she drove the 4 of us, then dropped my oldest son and me off at my truck. She went her way with the youngest boy; I went my way. We stopped by Academy for about 45 mins. The next day, I happen into the garage to get something out of my car. That's when I noticed that she had left several items (from Sams) in the back of her car overnight. This included a rotisserie chicken, yogurt, among other things that needed to be refrigerated. Walking upstairs to tell her, I wondered how I was going to get blamed for this. I could think of nothing. I was wrong. Apparently, I never help her carry groceries in from the garage, which is why the items were left in the car. First of all, this isn't true. At times, I hang back bit because she and her sister shop together and have to separate items. Secondly, even if true, how in the holy hell does that have anything to do with this situation? Not only was I not home when she arrived, but I had no idea anything was in the car in the first place. Apparently, I'm supposed to check her car for grocery items each day or somesuch. tl;dr Wife left refrigerated items in her car overnight which was, apparently, my fault even though I had no idea she had groceries in the car AND I wasn't even home when she first arrived.

F's sake. I hit both of the 32 yarders I attempted at the Texas spring game 4 years ago. I play soccer, but had never attempted a FG before. If my lame ass can do it, a professional should be able to do as much.

Principal told the staff that, if we win, we're get to go casual (attire) the rest of the week. I've got a lot riding on this.

Good call @shadow_operative. I honestly thought you were setting us up with yesterday's post. I was all, he typed that so when TN makes the Final Four he's going to pull the "I gotcha on Jan 13th" card.

What the fuck is going on here? Satire?

I had just gotten around to eating my first Whopper since my West Campus, .99 cent Whopper days. I can't possibly fathom spending another cent there until this run of ads is over.

Tell your story. @Jameslaw121

He's such a cunt. On a related note, he must advise DCTF. I'm not sure why this, formerly great, magazine has such a hard on for UTSA.

Similar here. I got home and was wondering why, on page whatever, folks were excited about a 47-45 score. Walked away from the computer for a sec, came back, saw something like 58-47 and decided not to turn the game on. Checked the score with about a minute left, got excited, turned it on, and saw the end. Well done Horns. That's a heck of a lot of heart considering what these guys have gone through.

Ha. I didn't know that.

I don't want to sidetrack the thread too much, but yes. The scene where she went out in the field to cry so as not to show weakness around others was spot on. She was that odd combo of incredibly sweet, but also very stoic.

My God Helen Mirren's character is my great-grandmother. She came to Texas from the hills of Tennessee in a covered wagon sometime in around 1899. Other than Mirren's ranch being about 1 million times larger than my great-grandmother's land outside of Comanche, TX, the rest of her story and personality is extremely similar. I actually shed a tear last night thinking about my Mama Phillips having to say goodbye to her only son in 1941 as he headed to the PTO.

Thanks for all the info. I purchased my first gold and silver (coins and bullion) a few months ago just to get started. It's just a few hundred bucks worth. I'm looking to up my game, so to speak. Interesting comment above about people having no idea what is real and what isn't if the shit ever hit the fan. I sure as hell wouldn't know the difference between real and fake in a Cormac McCarthy setting. Anyway, just broached the topic with my wife. Apparently all is good. She's been buying Lego's as an investment. 🥴

Thanks. I saw the top of the thread this morning, then found the game on replay on ESPN+. It's weird that I latched on to this team as the ultimate underdog but now, they're the rich, financially supported club of the 5th division.

Lol. I was just trying to think of some smartass statement to make about this ad.

...

Ok. I know it's a movie, so that might be my answer right there, but help a brother out. American Hustle. Love this movie. The scam Bale's character was running in the beginning doesn't make sense to me. He was offering a "finder's fee" of 5k to connect folks to a guy/bank for a 50k loan. There was never going to be a "guy or a bank". Now, I get how this could work if you took the fee and jetted; however, his character seemed deeply entrenched in the area. How would someone run this scam without being offed within a week? I can't imagine that the types of people going this route for a loan would be "awwww, he got me" types.

The Reynas can take their Yankee asses outta Texas. Never been a fan of the father. Never understood the plaudits when he played. Fucker turned over the ball that knocked us out of a WC. (Or maybe it was just one of the losses in group play.)

Perhaps US Soccer should try a route other than, "Let's all hire our friends and family members" when it comes to running the organization.

I think the ags that are happy or indifferent to the Petrino hire are using his time at Arkansas as proof. Thing is, back then, the SEC was mostly 3 yards and a cloud of dust. I believe a lot of Petrino's success came from being one of the first to open up an offense in the SEC. Petrino had an advantage in that he had an entirely different offense to plan for compared to most of the others in the league.

Though I obviously don't know the specific medical issue, but this almost exact same thing happened in soccer a couple of years ago. For those that don't watch soccer, a Danish player had a heart attack, received CPR, took a lot of time to get him off the field and out of the stadium, but he's fine now. Let's hope for the same.
