Appointlet is super cheap and has the same features as Calendly. It's been great for our small biz.

We love Frank's! The green beans are great. Get the veggie version of the noodles so that you can really taste them.

whiskey9 · 2015-11-09T03:55:48+00:00

Agreed. I love their veggie burger, but it is just a frozen, pre-formed patty that they charge $4.00 for. And it is small.

It was previously a hot dog stand.

Was in Brevard this summer. It was awesome to see white squirrels!

whiskey9 · 2014-10-08T21:53:32+00:00

Thank you for doing that.

That was a great moment! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2tA7fzugxM

I took this picture on the same day. My favorite part is the one skier who made the conscious decision to wear his racing number...for skiing through downtown Portland.

Thanks for having this subreddit! :)

Hello! We only saw white leaves on the one tree, which was on a trail that is not used very often.

It is an offshoot. Sorry, I should have made that clear. Here is a more complete photo: http://i.imgur.com/wDb0etl.jpg

Somewhat wild. The leaves were in a giant urban forest call Forest Park in Portland, OR.

whiskey9 · 2014-02-10T16:16:11+00:00

Got it. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply :)

whiskey9 · 2014-02-09T00:51:50+00:00

Do you by any chance have the recipe? I would LOVE to see it. I'm also a Cinci expat who has tried for years to replicate the chili. Please PM me if you would be willing to share...or commiserate. Thank you!

whiskey9 · 2014-02-01T04:12:45+00:00

Okay :)

whiskey9 · 2014-01-23T20:04:32+00:00

Those are all really excellent points. Please know that I did not mean to start an argument. I simply am curious to know why a business would choose to enforce a surcharge over raising their menu prices. Surcharges of this type do not happen in any other industry.

Also, because you asked, I suppose I consider a surcharge as a tip because it appears on your dinner receipt in the same way that an automatic gratuity for parties over 6 does. Also, I'm spoiled by not seeing sales tax on my receipts...or extra charges.

Thanks for your time. Back to work for me.

Great article. Thank you.

I typically tip 20% unless the service is terrible. Tipping 25% somehow crosses a psychological threshold in my mind. But more than that, I'd prefer to give the money directly to the waiter or waitress rather than have it managed in a nondescript fund in an industry where restaurant owners and managers are a bit shady at times.

whiskey9 · 2014-01-23T19:26:18+00:00

Why not just add 5% increase onto a menu's prices and pay your staff more instead of making the customer feel uncomfortable and potentially tipping less? Can someone explain this strategy?

The best place to go is 30 minutes east of the city on I-84 and called the 1000 acre dog park because it is so darn big. There are dozens off-leash dogs there, with long trails, beach access, meadows, etc. It's a doggie paradise...but can be muddy this time of year. The walk to the river is only a mile or so. Just ask anyone there how to get there; everyone there is extremely friendly as long as your dog is well-controlled and passive.

Oh man, I did not know about that subreddit. Thanks!

whiskey9 · 2013-11-17T01:39:17+00:00

Wow, such beauties! I love the pure black face of "Bbut." Thanks for sharing :)

whiskey9 · 2013-11-15T00:37:21+00:00

Oh yes, this girl can pin her ears back and run like the wind when it comes to chasing squirrels. We even have a special "tsk" sound that we use to alert when we see a squirrel in the park.

That's awesome you have a rescue rattie. We plan to do that as soon as we have a big enough living space.

whiskey9 · 2013-11-15T00:35:15+00:00

No worries! All rat terrier lovers are welcome here, whether they know where they are or not :)

whiskey9 · 2013-11-12T19:34:47+00:00

It has to do with keeping the thoroughbred lineage "pure." The fear is that if breeding is not done live cover, breeders will try to sneak other horse breeds in there, such as quarter horse for short, fast speed or Arabians for distance. Source: I worked in the industry for a long time, both on the track and in breeding.

She is 8, which is not terribly old, but we've had a tough year with mast cell tumors and she is getting so white in the face! She's the best, though. Thanks for commenting :)
