    Eatin breakfast at work

    Texting! Whenever I see that face buried in a phone with those fingers a goin I want to slap the effing thing out of their hand and stomp on it, my employee, your employee, no one's employee. And what about customers who answer their phone or text while talking to you? Not much that you can do...

    Eatin breakfast at work

    In some states that may come back to bite you. The employees can SAY all they want at the time, that it doesn't bother them, etc, but in some states there are very specific laws about how often they must be allowed to take breaks per so many hours worked. The break can be unpaid, but absolutely...

    Edmund Fitzgerald

    Brilliant lyrics. I agree, a rough way to go. There is a scene in the movie The Perfect Storm where they show one possible scenario of what happened during the sinking of the Andrea Gail. As some of the crew are trapped inside after she sunk, one says that it is going to be hard on his son...

    Funeral Cost

    I have it in my will that I'm to be cremated and my ashes added to paint and painted on our bedroom ceiling, so that my wife doesn't get any ideas after I'm gone.

    Road scavengers

    Used to stop all the time, but seldom do anymore. It's just too dangerous on any road that is posted above 30. No good find is worth it. Cops and construction workers in full reflective gear still get killed on the sides of roads all the time. People just don't pay attention, and they don't slow...

    Dog barking at calf

    Take some obedience lessons to teach you how to train the dog to understand the word NO. Change your mentality toward dogs, starting with that rescue crap. It is telling that you have to rely on an underground fence to control him instead of learning how to train him, so adjusting your outlook...

    How much do you tip?

    I agree that it's rude and pretty inconsiderate for customers to hang around so long under the circumstances that you explain, but if you are worried about running into inconsiderate people, being in a service industry is the last place for you. Your wife knew the rules when she took the job...

    How much do you tip?

    I start to feel bad when I hear stories about how poorly waitresses are paid and how hard they work, etc, and then I hear something like this, and it makes me never want to tip again. Hello, that is often WHY people go out to eat in the first place, to relax and enjoy themselves, and dog forbid...

    I met a true outlaw yesterday

    In my experience most people who complain about the price of services have never been in business for themselves. They just don't understand the costs involved. All they care about is how cheaply they can get it for, despite how much they'll insist that they want quality. Sometimes, for those...

    Has social media changed how we think?

    During that night club shooting in FL, people were posting on social media from inside the building, while the event was happening. The guy with the gun wasn't the only crazy one in the building. Call me crazy, but I'd be thinking about ways to get out, or take out the guy, or just stay alive...

    Spreading Grandpa's Ashes . . . .

    Very nice. Whoever raised that kid needs to print up the instructions and staple them to every light pole in the inner city. Maybe they'll learn what life is all about.

    I'm being a jerk

    I've done it both ways too, but more and more I'm inclined to just set my price and hold to it. I've had them say to me too that they won't buy from anyone who won't dicker. That's perfectly fine with me, it saves us both some frustration. Some people like the game, on both sides. Not me...

    Bulls kill each other...

    How do we know that they even died? More animal rights sensationalist propaganda. Not that I find it entertaining at all either. I'd like to see the rest of the video where they were either hauled off with a tractor, or, more likely, stood up a few minutes later and shook it off.

    4H

    The parents and the leaders. In my area the only 4h club with any sense is the ox teamster club. Those kids and the leaders know what it's all about, and do some amazing things. All the others have been taken over by stupid ex-suburbanite mommies who think that all animals must treated like...

    Hope I didn't create some vegetarians.

    The kids will be fine, it's just some of the teachers and mommies who you've got to worry about. They'll put it in the kids' heads that what they've seen was traumatic and emotionally upsetting to them.

    Debate is finally settled.

    Not necessarily. I don't know any of the details, but there is some sort of fairly substantial tax benefits in CA for agricultural land which is being "actively" farmed. In some of the wealthiest communities surrounding San Diego the land owners plant the entire property with oranges, except for...

    Milkmaid

    While I usually respect your opinions, in this case your affection for your pets is clouding your judgement. There may be some fools here, but they are far from the majority. At Family Cow it is pretty much a requirement for membership.

    Milkmaid

    Right on. Nothing but morons, imbeciles and mental defectives, apparently with one exception. The extent of their emotional retardation is boundless. They're too stupid to live, and don't deserve the energy needed to type out an answer to one of their hysterical dramas, let alone the wisdom and...
