At sit down restaurants, I tip 20% - more if service was exceptional, less if service was substandard although I've never not tipped at all no matter how bad the service was. Counter service I do not tip and will almost always pay in cash so I don't have to deal with the tipping option on the...

I attended the San Jose show. I enjoyed both of Satoko's solo performances and even commented to a friend later that Satoko was one of my favorites in the show. To each his own.

I've made the drive from Albany to Lake Placid. There was snow on the ground, but the weather was clear. I would not want to do it while it was snowing. :p I've also flown from Albany to Lake Placid several times on the small planes (not Cape Air - bigger planes than that), but they...

I can see Alysa doing both segments because she has the best head for competition. If anyone can withstand the Oly pressure, it's Alysa.

I checked the Stars on Ice website maybe an hour or less after the women had finished the free skates at Worlds and Alysa had already been added to the tour and listed as world champion. :lol: That was fast! But since I already have my ticket for the San Jose show I was delighted to see her...

I've watched the series three times now. :lol: Whenever the daily news gets to be too much I run to Peacock to find something soothing to watch like a serial killer documentary or Day of the Jackal. :p

Since David Lynch's death, I've been watching Twin Peaks seasons 1 and 2 on Pluto TV, which is free. I've been happy with only having Peacock and Amazon Prime for watching movies and TV series, although they aren't free. We don't even own a TV as we've been perfectly fine to watch streaming from...

The San Jose show usually starts at 4:00 p.m. as it's normally on a Sunday. Usually, it's on Mother's Day, though, and they have a really nice Mother's Day luncheon inside the arena before the show and a few SOI skaters will stop by. You would buy tickets through the Sharks. But it's not on...

Am I the only one that didn't receive the presale code? I figured one out, anyway, but...

Aw, David Lynch. :wuzrobbed Weirdly enough, out of an entire cabinet full of CDs, I was playing the Twin Peaks Soundtrack yesterday for most of the day.

I watched Conclave last night on Peacock. I'm surprised I enjoyed such a dry seeming movie (the subject matter) so much. All the actors were great - I can totally see the nomination for Ralph Fiennes for best actor. As far as the twists went, I saw the first one coming, but not the second, even...

My total for 2024 was 114. I honestly thought it would be higher. :lol: Until we moved here, though, I could buy anything I wanted locally and I much prefer shopping in person so I can see what I'm buying. But now that I live at the edge of civilization and have to drive at least an hour and a...

I was looking for a series to watch on either Peacock or Amazon Prime and landed on The Day of the Jackal, Season 1, on Peacock. Wow! I pretty much binge watched the ten episodes over two days. :lol: I think I read Season 2 has already been approved. I can see why. It was completely enthralling...

I don't think they've been charged with terrorism, but I can't offer statistics to verify that. I agree that Mangione seems like an unhappy disaffected individual who wanted to do something big. And that's why it seems over the top to charge him with terrorism. It's murder, obviously, but I...

Who is saying Mangione shouldn't be prosecuted?
