Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk That's crazy - not a fan of this trend. I actually placed a couple orders with those guys within the past 6 months and never had the option to tip. Must be a new thing or maybe just a mobile thing? I ordered via PC. Ironically, I had one of our cars detailed and ceramic coated yesterday, picked it up today. While paying for the expensive-but-I'll-be-damned-if-I-do-it-myself service it popped up a tip option. Took me by surprise and....I caved. They did a good job but a 20% tip on a 5 figure service?! I don't think so. $25 because you guilted me into it and it still hurts my principles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit here on 11/18 listening to a continuous FM lite holiday music station. Poignantly playing ‘Let It Snow’. I remember over a quarter century ago, my lost love decorating the outside of the row house the week before Thanksgiving. My younger daughter, who agreed with you Lava Rock, said she had to put a paper bag lover her head when she left the house. When I was very young, my father, who was always up for an axiom, would say …. “Of taste there can be no dispute” he would give me his no rebuttal look and that would be that. Be well and as always, thankful ….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcglups Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Solid SE surf this morning from the storm that started off the Florida coast on Friday and travelled northward around 68 longitude. Light NW winds with temperatures in the 30's. Clear skies all day. | Meanwhile, snow guns blazing up north with reasonable outlook of natural snow opportunities for the mountains, all equates to skiing next weekend. | Good to get out there and enjoy what mother nature dishes out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be tough for them and the people up there. When I was a kid the nearby bowling alley was bombed, luckily no one was hurt so different in our case but it was shocking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 15 hours ago, DavisStraight said: My wife said it's expensive there, for food and lodging, did you find that? We had 2 days on Iceland as part of our Norway excursion in 2017 - no extra landing/takeoff cost from Icelandic Air, stayed at an AirBNB which was reasonable. Exchange rate was about 100 Icelandic kroner to the dollar and a good lunch (all the food there was good) ran 3000/4000 kroner. A year later it was about 140/$1, but we weren't counting kroner on that trip, just loving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my to try the shark, she saw it on the menu but didn't order it. I saw the Bizarre Food Guy try it in Iceland he had trouble putting it down, said it has an ammonia smell. My wife actually has been looking at a cruise for us to take, 10 days with stops in Iceland, Greenland and Scandanavia, I'm leaning on going that way, cost is very reasonable, and I like the comfort of a cruise ship.
