Morning Kiddies
I hope everyone has a great day......

Sorry for the long read but here was what my family and I did with our friends.

Had some fun last night with good friends and took them out to dinner. We also made someones night. Had Dinner at Texas roadhouse. Are Server was a young lady named Mandy and she was about to graduate from Northern Illinois University Soon with a sociologically degree, and was working to supporting her family Mom Dad and a younger Brother. Her Parents worked hard to put her thru school as well as herself having to work too. She told us that after she graduates she will continue to live with her parents so they keep up with things in their lives. I assumed bills and life itself....

So when the bill came I signed it and gave it back to the server, and had a tip of zero on the receipt. Mandy looked at the bill and looked shocked. And I could tell she was trying to understand why I did that since there was 6 of us in the party and she was great, always at the table seeing if we needed anything.

I told her that zero on the bill was not because she did something wrong, it was because for everything she did do. I told her the tip was behind the receipt and wished her the best in what ever you do, and when she gets a chance, she could use the tip to help her family, or take them out for dinner. She looked puzzled since the tip should have been about 30 dollars on our 150 bill. So I told her took to look at it really close. So she took the group of money and seen there was more then 2 twenties and then counted it. Her eyes got wide and even started to tear-up since see realized her tip was $100. I told her we were blessed recently (the 1k lottery win on Thursday but I did not tell her that) and we were paying it foreword and she is the lucky recipient of said random act of kindness. I also said the world is full of bad people, but make yourself one of the good ones.


This seems to become a tradition with me and my family, because I did the samething last year on the Day before Mothers day at a steakhouse near us too. Since I won 1k on a ticket that cost me 20 bucks to play. That person got 100 dollars too.

I'm a firm believer of pay it forward if you can, it makes the world a better place when you do.

Again have great day everyone....... I know I'm going to.

Way to pay it forward!

Morning all.
Have fun hawk, looks like your doing well already. That brees is ridiculous. Topps qc is stupid

Went home from my Christmas party early. Played pool with a few friends then called it a night. Losing interest in the group of people I work with. I enjoy my job but attitudes and egos are running rampant

I couldn't believe that Brees when I saw it but the owner wanted premium for it since it was a mistake.

Poor Adam musta given up, his posts just went dead.:lol:

Plus, the guy I'm playing in the only League I'm still alive in had Cam. And Megatron. And J. Bell. 155 points for him. Do-able but unlikely...

I had Bell today also, think he is going to pull me out a win since McCoy never gets me any points

I think you and I have a different view of "driving distance"...

Get there and back home in one day, that's driving distance lol

Nice job @Pine Tar!

Actually brought my cards into work to try and get some sorting, numbering, etc. done since the Office is dead on Sundays and our earliest riser is in England...

Very cool lol

Niners are pretty much eliminated with Loss at Oakland, who lost by 52 last week...

Now they can fire Jim lol

 

[michaelstepper]

I think it's dumb they'd even consider firing him. 3 straight nfc championship games, 1 superbowl appearance. I don't think it's him

I agree, but it seems that the owner doesn't share our opinion or at least the sports media portrays that

 

[michaelstepper]

The sports media over plays everything. Like how great the cowboys played early on, or how great Philly has been. The San Francisco thing is yet another example of something they hype up to gain viewership and create headlines. If we were to ask a random San Francisco fan with a level head would they want or think Jims leaving? Probably not.
I can very well be wrong but the hype Dallas received after the win over seattle only exemplified my thoughts on the whole thing. Seattle shot themselves in the foot enough to let Dallas win.. kudos to Dallas for hanging in there but it wasn't that close. And the media was all over how dominant and amazing Romo was when that wasn't the case in the game I watched...

 

[gt2590]

Evidently Harbaugh is hard to work with or for. Little too intense all the time, turns people off after a while.

Well, looked, sorted, etc. my stuff. I've mostly done Breaks and retail rips so I wasn't expecting to find anything too noteworthy. And I didn't. :lol:

But still fun and good to get it done for first time since August or so...

Finding the niners fan with the level head is impossible right now. The sky is falling so quickly, they have an awful coach, awful quarterback and they'll never win again hahaha. It's about the same team that went to the Super Bowl but other teams figured out their offensive. So draw up new stuff. How can u be so upset when your team goes to three straight NFC championship games and throw in a super bowl appearance? I love it though cuz I'm not a niners fan

I spent almost 4 years stationed at Sub Base Pearl Harbor in the early 90s. Served on the USS Tunny SSN-682.

 

[Pine Tar]

Oh my
So I went and got a couple of the Mega boxes topps football. the ones that 2 valor packs and 7 packs and 2 packs of Valor hobby in them
I opened the first one and nothing of note except the usually inserts and parells in the Topps Football.
But as I was bout to open the second box I see that someone taped it back-up and returned it. I was like FUGGGGGGGG because I know the Valor and the refractors would be gone in it and they were FUGGGG U very much mister pack searcher ass clown . But in the Topps Football the second to last pack was think and I almost thought it could have been a booklet as how big that pack was..... You should have checked the packs mr ass hat pack searcher because this card was in that box on the bottom.
Oh then I bought a lottery ticket after spending almost 500 bucks at Kohls today.

 

[michaelstepper]

I'm a seahawks fan. Respect the niners, don't hate them. Something is being lost in translation this year for sure. To be honest, Gore is nowhere near as dominant as he was but he's been declining for a few years now. Vernon davis' best years are behind him and kaepernick isn't the pocket passer he should be. Arizona ' s still plenty dangerous but the wheels are falling off at the most inopportune time... for them. Nobody wants to play St Louis.. they'll be vying for the division next year barring any serious setbacks. Just my observations as a watcher of the NFC west. #GOHAWKS

I got a thick Metal pin in my MegaBox too, but I did pull a rookie Patch /99 in my Valor packs...
