Agreed and while we're on the technology discussion, why do parents feel the need to have their kids continually engaged with technology. Ipods, first graders with cell phones, video games, dvds in the car, and unlimited computer time. I hate the fact that parents feel like they have to continually "entertain" their children with some device. You're bored? Go outside and play! It's raining? Read a book, build a fort, use your imagination!

Can I use the Heineken commercial with the "Just a Friend" song it it. I swear anytime that commercial comes on that song is in my head for a couple of hours.

I would go with spndnchz's advice with the pizza on the curbside. 10 % for curbside, and use your judgment. I know our restaurant pays our to-go's about 5 dollars an hour plus tips. So tipping is appropritae. If you have a massive order with a lot of orders for a family gathering, it does take time to put it together get everything together and all that (it's not like pizza where it is just put in a box. I bartend, but when to-go is cut I take any orders for the rest of the night. Inside I shoot for 15-20%, outside I shoot for 10%. One of the posters put his remarks in regards to tips, it works the same way here. No tip-Thanks 10 percent-Thanks, have a good night. Anything more, Thanks a lot. I appreciate it, enjoy the rest of your night.

Politics being discussed. Everyone has their views/opinions and if you're on the opposite side no matter what you're dumb and/or ignorant.

Okay, I know the Michael Phelps is big news and all, but does ESPN have to throw it on their breaking new ticker before the race airs on NBC. Some of us want the drama when they watch the race, I don't want to wait. Wait till the race airs before you go flashing the results! I have learned my lesson and avoid ESPN now while I'm waiting, but still.
