52 pick up

My grandchildren Ana and Robert spent the night Monday. We played several games. At the end of the night when we were really tired I thought to teach them 52 pick up. For those who don't know what 52 pick up is... it's card game. Well sorta. You ask someone who doesn't have a clue (and definitely... Sign in to see full entry.

update

Today I am taking a break from the edits. I haven't received the checks yet. I'm not going to invest more time until I receive them. Tips were okay this weekend. I made 36 total which is great but so much better than nothing. This coming weekend should be pretty crazy with the St. Paddy's day... Sign in to see full entry.

pondering

It's time to reevaluate my membership here. The money I earn is considerably less than last year. The only thing that has stopped me so far is my beloved blogit friends. Maybe I will move things from blogs to condense down to 2 or 3 instead of 5. I think that would lower the cost back down to 9.95.... Sign in to see full entry.

The news

It will be a few days before I can get around to everybody's blogs. I have my two late nights coat checking. Also my poor grandson and his parents are sick. It started with Elijah having the stomach flu and it went to his parents from there. Poor little guy! We were sitting in front of my laptop... Sign in to see full entry.

Lately

Less than 50 have died since 9/11 from muslims but 30 or more deaths per day from gun violence. Why are we not concentrating on that rather than Islam? The three graduating students on the east coast were muslims. What did they do? Apparently nothing other than being muslim. Their neighbor hated... Sign in to see full entry.

people watching

I don't know how many of you if any of you used to go to the airport and people watch before 9/11. My high school sweetheart and I used to go to Lambert airport and watch all the people walking by us. It was interesting at times. My favorite ones that I saw were a father and son. The son apparently... Sign in to see full entry.

Coat Check

It was a slow night Friday with all the crappy weather. I made a whopping $11 in tips all night. I even had one woman had me a five and say "Give me $2 change." Really? You think I can't subtract 3 from 5? I bit my tongue and just smiled as I handed her her change. Last week I had a woman think she... Sign in to see full entry.

update

I finally made the rounds and caught up with everybody's blogs. So nice to see lusterlove back with us. Now I have about 4 pages of comments to read and answer as many as I can. Hope all of you are bundled up and staying warm! I was also sent an email by Jack Canfield to be one of the co-authors in... Sign in to see full entry.

Saturday

Saturday I returned to the same place to coat check. The crowd can get rowdy and Saturday was no exception since many had started partying at the big parade for mardi gras. As a matter of fact there were more people bounced than usual and 3 broken noses. There was one guy who was supposedly jumped... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I needed to make some extra money since there aren't that many shops to do this month and nothing to work at the stadium. I messaged my nephew and luckily there was an opening today and Valentine's Day at one of the valet locations to do coat check. I thought why not? I was supposed to work from 9pm...
