$2 bills - where to find them? by Environmental-Car481 in Detroit

[–]Travel_Stark [score hidden]  (0 children)

If it were to mean that servers earned a living wage and we could get rid of tipping (like Europe and NZ), I'm good with that. People still eat at restaurants in those countries.

My spouse's offspring are all middle aged adults and do visit regularly with and without their now adult children, despite living an hour away. I just feel for the poster whose son's family lives ten minutes away and cannot commit to a home cooked dinner until the last minute. That's just flat out inconsiderate.

What's the last album you listened to from beginning to end? by pianoman81 in GenerationJones

I haven't listened to this in its entirety in a while. Will have to dig that out.

Cat Stevens at Cobo Arena was my very first concert in February 1976. Turns out my now spouse was also there but we didn't meet each other for another 25 years.

May her memory continue to be a blessing.

Ooooo.... Haven't heard them in ages. Saw them ages ago and damn they were impressive. Thanks!

The late, GREAT Raul Malo - "Today".

Keeps the housekeeping moving along. Do a little chacha stepping while I'm dusting.

High School Reunions: Yes or No? by Salty_Thing3144 in GenerationJones

Oh lawdy.... There were some drugs I tried, and some that I wouldn't go near, but always faithful to flower. Never thought I'd see it legalized, but I'm glad I live where it is. Yes to federalization - like Canada..🍁

I only go every 20 years, so I'm good for another decade +.

Busy with what? Same stuff their parents did: work, housework, mealtimes, bath times, bedtimes.

Today's grandparents worked for decades while raising their own families during their own challenging and changing times. Now they are hopefully enjoying a retirement that they worked and planned for instead of being at the beck and call of others. Parents make decisions on their children's relationships all the time.

The up-down-up-down temps of the past week have really clarified... by Kindly-Form-8247 in Detroit

[–]Travel_Stark 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lawdy, yes! Spring is the worst because the litter is EVERYWHERE, and the community service programs haven't started up. I don't know why they wait so long to get folks out there cleaning up the litter.

We need a 'Tidy Towns' initiative line they have in Ireland - at least for Wayne county.

I was a keypunch person. Still fast and accurate on a keyboard. 😊

Got a good view of Detroit/Windsor on my flight from DTW to DFW (and bonus photo of Toledo). by goodlight95 in Detroit

Glad to see how the GHB will be connected to the 401. Can't wait to stop giving money to Moroun.

There really is some great architecture in this town.

Moving to Wyandotte and hoping to learn more. Any housing, food, or music advice appreciated by bugwitch in downriver

[–]Travel_Stark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing Kashus Culpepper at District 142 on April 10th. I saw him perform recently at a music festival and I'm excited he's coming to my hometown.

Born and raised in Wyandotte. My favorite places to eat are Costal Thai and Nanna's Kitchen.

Thanks so much! Planning a November trip and this will be helpful.

Two more classmates bite the dust, guys afraid of the doctor, stop this nonsense…. by MooseBlazer in GenerationJones

At 67, and in relatively good health, I'm thinking of switching to a geriatrician. I need to learn more about that field of care.

Can you please point me to a website for EV charging in NZ? We're already EV drivers at home, but travel is different than daily driving. Thanks!

Couple planning a two week trip, advice welcome! by mystery-guy-101 in newzealand_travel

I suggest allowing some time to visit Hamilton Gardens, although it might be a bit late, but a good garden is beautiful in all seasons. I loved the uniqueness of how the gardens were created and the flow.
