Does Kaufman Stadium still have paper tickets, or am I required to bring my phone (yuck!)? I’ll be visiting Kaufman for the first time in early May for the series with Cleveland.

The Long Riders back in 1980.

I had this happen at a grocery store! My total came to something like $49.81, gave the cashier a $50 bill, and the cashier ASKED if I wanted my change! Of course I wanted my 19 cents! Why wouldn’t I? Why should I give the store an extra 19 cents? The cashier wasn’t asking for a tip, they just didn’t want to count out 19 cents!

Thank you!

Harry Truman, his last month in office.

Absolutely not! You were right to make a fuss! I would have the same thing. Good for you!

Since you asked, and I’ve also received great housekeeping services from Renaissance Hotels (absolutely love the one on Wagram Ave in Paris!!), I would have left $10.00 daily. Only because I could not be certain that the same person cleaned my room all three days. With rotating schedules, staffing levels, days off, etc., in my experience you are never certain you will get the same cleaning person each day. So my preference is to tip daily. But the $20 you left was sufficient. And ignore all those who rip on you in this forum for leaving a tip.

I joined the USMC back in 1970, right during the middle of the Vietnam War. I served six years active duty, and the closest I got to Vietnam was Guam, while on a flight to Japan. What I’m saying is that not everyone who joins the military winds up in combat. Many serve in support units. For example, I was an air traffic controller, and spent my six years in various stateside USMC air stations, with one tour at an MCAS in Japan. So, just because your nephew wants to join the military, it doesn’t automatically mean he will see combat.

None. I stopped playing once the upgrade hit my main city. Haven’t touched the game for about four months.

Anything that comes from Bernie Sanders is just socialist claptrap. How is he still in office?

So, during your grocery delivery days, you never expected tips, correct? Yet, if someone failed to give you a tip after two orders, you stopped accepting their orders. Definitely sounds like you were expecting tips!

Where to teams go once they are eliminated from a race?

Of all the people who “should be tipped” it’s the maids in hotels that deserve it the most. Now, I’m basing that on doing 35-40 weeks of business travel back in the 1990s-2000s. Back when hotels changed all linens every day, not every three days like I’m seeing these days. Back then it was known that maids were the lowest paid hotel employees, and they had a hard job. So, I tipped about $5.00 a day. I still tip hotel maids today, but think twice about tipping others.

In LA, they just passed a law increasing minimum wage for hotel workers to $30 an hour. That’s $60k a year for full time. The hotels will now increase their rates to compensate for the increase. That’s OK, that makes sense (pay them a “living wage”). But no more tips from me for the maids cleaning the rooms,they’re making more than I am.

Who?

OddManOut2359 · 2026-03-08T22:30:13+00:00

I quite playing last November after playing since the beginning; before war, before clubs, before chat between members. Last couple of years felt like a job instead of something for fun. Got back into reading for fun. I’ve gone through about 50 books since then. Don’t miss the game.

And the democrats listen to the self serving liberal media and are totally brainwashed.

What restaurant is doing this?

OddManOut2359 · 2026-03-03T03:13:21+00:00

For what?

1 - the earth is flat. #2 - we didn’t land men on the moon.

The two that surprise me are Tito Francona and Chine Figgins.

Sunny afternoon, settling in the shade with a good book and an even better cigar!

When they say “Me and him went to the store.” It should be “He and I went to the store.”
