Am I the only one hoping for a pigsnuggler meme about now? 😂

Yeah. I try to be “in charge” of the bill when I’m out with friends, because some of them are (imo) under-tippers, and I’m admittedly an over-tipper because I’ve had quite a number of people in my family who at some point in their lives were waitstaff or bartenders. If the friends ask what the amount is before tip, and they think I’ve added too much for the tip, I back down, and then I just throw in more (without them noticing). I know that sometimes, the less than stellar service might have as its cause nothing to do with them in particular, but a backup in the kitchen,,etc. Also… we’ve all had days where maybe we’re not at our best. The caveat here is, of course, encountering outright rudeness… um, yeah, not going to reward that with a big tip, but also, I’d let a manager or owner know what was encountered. Personally, it’s never happened to me, gratefully. Also, chaz, I agree on (when possible) the tip in cash.

I thought the exact same thing, but was too lazy to respond… so, Thanks! 😁

This is horrifying. There is no end to the cruelty perpetrated by the Nazi regime…. And we seem to be currently staring AGAIN into the dead eyes of this kind of murderous philosophy.

I keep meaning to send it to my brother… but I can’t part with it. 😂

Oy vey

May I just add that , as a Bronx native, I abhor Queens & Staten Island accents. 😂

Btw, my thanks to those here who have been able to find a way to not put themselves into harms way by reacting the way he’s hoping. Kudos to you all. I appreciate it. (Believe me when I say, I’m doing my best)

Sorry, folks. The posts are ridiculous. The number of them posted at a time are also ridiculous. But, currently, they aren’t necessarily against the rules, … Now, having said that, it’s my (maybe foolish) hope that dpg would actually like to remain a member here, and might entertain the notion that maybe posting one or two might be enough at a time, and that 3,4,5 etc. in each thread might be excessive, and might also push way too many of my buttons. I guess we’ll see.

I think I’ll listen to my Tony DeBennedetto’s music today. buona lunga vita, riposa in pace. ❤️

Quick, there are a couple more threads you need to post this on! Hurry!

There are at least 3 more threads you can drop this breaking news in. 😂 (before your fingers cramp up)

btw, he lied under oath. Not that he’ll called on it. 😂

“Somehow coerced”…. “Presumably in exchange”…. (Cernovich retweeted) 😂

Oh, that’s got to be baloney. I can’t buy that at all.

If this is true, case closed. Not possible to look past this. Not possible to believe using this setting/backdrop was anything but intentional, making it all extremely “in your face” hostile.

Interesting!

Trump went into full and non-apologetic Hitler mode last night. There are no more dog whistles. It’s out there, plain as the nose on your face.

I’m listening to another round of very loud thunderstorms today. Lots of lightning, lots of rain, plenty of noise. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we don’t lose power. 🤞🏼

Tonight, I took advantage of some ripe tomatoes, EVOO, plenty of fresh basil, and garlic (& some red pepper flakes), and just boiled up some red lentil pasta. You don’t cook any of the other ingredients, just add it to the cooked/drained macaroni. I’d normally also add some freshly grated locatelli, but I wasn’t in a cheese mood. I love summer pastas.

Spaghetti pie was a staple growing up… whenever there was spaghetti or linguine leftover (& my mother always made plenty), you could guarantee this would show up a few days later. And we all loved it. Yours looks fantastic!👍
