Where’s Rick with his swoop trick?

Well, well, well...you caught us all napping.
Congratulations!
Instead of getting "nothing"...your Denny's carryout order is "on me".

Now we know why Peg is in the cellar and we've never heard a peep out of her.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Restaurants are having trouble getting their staff back to work and it's causing problems. Yesterday we went out for dinner and the manager asked if we would mind waiting a bit. When I said no he handed me some drinks and told me to take them to table nine.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Seriously, I hear restaurants/bars and other establishments cannot find helpers...people are making more money on unemployment and do not want to work...pathetic.

Nine Words Women Use
(1) Fine :
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. This means your facts may be right but you are still wrong.
(2) Five Minutes:
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing:
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead:
This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay:
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks:
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'.. That will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever:
Is a woman's way of saying...Go to Hell...
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it:
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' (For the woman's response refer to # 3).

In 2015 we walked the Francés. In 2016 our air miles were going to be devalued so we booked a trip to NZ first. We hoped to walk the Milford Track but bookings for the much cheaper independent walks hadn't opened up yet. Much later, after having got home from a trip, I checked to see when bookings could be made. Next morning! Seconds later near panic set in. International Date Line! A quick check showed they had opened up (as I remember) 15 to 30 minutes earlier. I could see days being filled up in front of my eyes. I managed to get something though, not the only stroke of luck we had for the Milford.

I mention this because I read this morning that the upcoming 6 month season was completely booked in 15 minutes.

A coworker was telling me about about his wife who did sales presentations to groups of Japanese businessmen here in the US. First, she was a tall, blonde Caucasian which drove the guys nuts. Second, the meetings were held in a non-smoking area. Third, their coffee was kept refreshed. Fourth, the presentations were kept longer than they had to be. My coworker said they would sign anything to get out of that room.

Pranks

My sons went to a small(ish) private high school and around a week before senior graduation there is an unspoken tradition..."Senior prank day". My oldest took part in the grandest prank the school ever had. After "borrowing" the master key to the school they drove a small car into the school foyer late at night. The next morning when all were in classes, they rang the fire alarm and all the students and faculty filed out of the building waiting to go back in after completing this "fire drill". The boy who held the key had stayed hidden inside and then proceeded to run around the school locking all of the doors. No one could get back in...the principal and faculty were NOT happy, but it was not worth suspensions so late in the school year.
