    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    With friends we always split the check. When I’m out with the girls, most order one drink, we share appetizers, maybe a couple will go for a cappuccino and/or dessert (which is offered up to all). There are 8 of us who go out pretty regularly, we are not going to ask for 8 checks (plus we share...

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    No, that was my wonderful amazing FIL who is very missed (my dad is missed too, they were very different from each other).

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    Precedents can be an issue. In my family, my dad paid. He would never consider letting his children pay for anything, even as adults. Once we went out to a casual restaurant with my parents, my IL’s, and our five kids. The check came, my dad said to my FIL, that they should split check because...

    After passing your test , who was the first person to trust you to drive them anywhere?

    All of my nearest and dearest friends! We get our licenses at 17 here, most test on their birthday, so my mom let me bring the car back to school to drive my friends around. I just had 5 close HS friends over yesterday so still in nostalgia mode.

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    I’d wait and see what the dad does, we’ve gone out to eat with a bunch of different people, with and without kids, and it really varies. Maybe the dad will ask for separate checks, we’ve also divided the bill by the number of people in a family (so in this case you’d be responsible for 3 out of...

    Field Trips

    We are close to NYC so a few there. The best we going to see Evita with the Spanish classes on broadway in the 80’s. Times Square was very sketchy, we were allowed to go off for lunch, boys ran to the peep shows, lots enjoyed beefsteak Charlie’s, all the beer, wine and sangria you can drink. Oh...

    At What Age Do You Not Replace a Dog?

    The great thing about rescues is that they come in all ages. My 27 year old just adopted a 5 year old FIV cat because she wanted one others would overlook. We adopted our 13 year old dog at 3 months, even then I wanted an older dog but my friend was fostering this litter and insisted this dog...

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    But it’s up to the management to take action, and management doesn’t have to tell the OP how it was handled.

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    Absolutely, a sentence. And the owners response was thorough, and I’m sure the owner knows the employee better than customers or corporate. For goodness sake.

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    Who said it’s condoned and not spoken about? Who knows if this is a one off event?

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    My SIL was just saying how much she enjoys grocery shopping because she sees a lot of her old students (para). Our local family owned grocery store hires many neurodiverse employees.

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/9 poll - Frozen vs Fresh vs Canned Vegetables

    Mostly fresh, ate fresh growing up, my mom grew up poor and would never buy canned vegetables, just beans. I’ve only tasted canned beans. She always had fresh cut up carrots, celery, peppers, radishes, washed romaine, fresh onions, potatoes, garlic, plus any vegetables she needed for meals. I do...

    NCL leaves passengers behind in Africa

    Sometimes they will, sometimes they won’t. And sometimes the baggage goes ahead. ETA sometimes the ships wait, sometimes they won’t. I don’t think captains toss a coin, it’s based on other issues.

    Disney Stroller for 6 year old

    We rented a double from the parks for our 4/4/6 year olds. Didn’t need it outside that parks, and it was really for getting to point A to point B efficiently (we also had 9 and 11 year olds). Didn’t want to deal with a stroller on the buses. My 6 year old was about 35 pounds, same as the younger...

    NCL leaves passengers behind in Africa

    Whether they missed their flight or it was cancelled, the result is the same, you wait until the next day. But really, the comparison is if you miss your flight, sucks for you. If you miss your train, sucks for you. If you miss your ship, sucks for you. I usually do have sympathy for these...

    NCL leaves passengers behind in Africa

    I actually call bs on the tour contacting ncl, at one point they said they sent emails. I believe there is a number for the port agent posted in the dailies, I assume he was called since ncl was kind enough to tender their passports to him. Passengers get left behind all if the time, since this...

    NCL leaves passengers behind in Africa

    Unless there are not, my friend just spent the night at LGA on a chair with her husband and children. There’s usually last flights of the evening.
