I just married off the daughter; I discussed with the caterer that all sta
staff were fully paid (not $2 per hour plus tips) for their services prior to the event. She said yes and know tipping was required/expected.
So I tipped $50 to each worker on top of their normal pay and $100 to the bartender that I had a mad crush on.
Afterwards, I was told that the bartender put out a tip jar and that this is an etiquette faux pas unless it is a cash bar. If it a free bar, tipping should be required of the host and not the guests.
I still do not know if my tip level was considered appropriate (whatever that means).

I heard in the 90s in Blacksburg (may still be true) nobody needed a U-Haul
To get to school but everybody needed one to leave.
The U-Haul owner was so rich, he flew students to dc in his personal plane and paid them to drive U-Haul trucks back to Blacksburg.
Myth or reality?

That whole 1982 class was a result of Tom Abatemarco who was on loan for on
one year. He went on to NC State and finally got caught cheating. Chris Washburn couldn't even read.

They bought it for that lovely kitchen. Blech. I lived with a kitchen like
That from 1967 to 1982. Blech.

My kids story. Get a lawyer. Do not go to a frat party (judge) without a
frat brother (lawyer).
The lawyer had her take the class and do all of the community service before the hearing.
One year clean driving after that and it was all dropped.
Lawyer was $600. Money well spent.

@VTChip Two questions. Weren't you impressed by the crowd? With
that big crowd, can you explain the logic for the venue? It was less than ideal for watching softball; blocked views, double fences etc. Was it to be convenient for all of the younger players that played in the park that day?
Glad you made it home safe; that storm was a zinger.

You can put a "Stop Loss" order under half of it and remove the emotion.
That would let you let it ride as long as you want, but take the decision making out of the sell order.

Never got the stink out and sold that vehicle at a loss.

I do not like any of the Lane stadium food except a turkey leg every couple
years as a novelty. I am pretty sure they are fried in bacon fat before grilling.
That being said, the only away stadium food I liked was at Duke. The have the line of food trucks that are awesome, but the crowds are so small, they can do that.
I went to the Nebraska Orange Bowl game and sat in the club level. Hot ladies in referee shirts took your orders and brought you food and alcohol. The food sucked, but I kept ordering for some reason.
I do like the Cassell dairy club milkshakes.
