WestEgg - you are correct. In this case (Seattle) it is true that a waiter can be paid under limit, while in other States this is not the case (i.e. Alaska.)

Damn right you are.

It’s very interesting to see how Dansko’s are becoming more and more accepted in a business environment. Where I come from, you were wearing them in the barn or to feed the pigs. Mayyyybe to school, but never for work.

Bleach makes things worse when proteins are involved - like sweaty arm pits on T-shirts. Use Oxy-clean instead. Make a bucket with water as hot as possible. Add Oxy-clean and cloths. Let sit overnight. Then wash in cold (!) water. You’ll be surprised ;)

Used it for years, but you have to be careful not to over dose.

“Ridiculous” would be the better word. I happened to run into a “returned items sale” where I saw a pair of hiking boots with a sticker saying “Didn’t fit”. Those boots clearly had a good season with decent hiking behind them, but REI simply takes everything back. What looks great for the consumer is quite hard on…

Ha.

I only speak from experience and haven’t been to all airports in the US (yet ;) I just noticed a significant price increase in European countries. - Let’s put it that way: compare prices between airports and cities.

Not like in the US, renting a car at an airport in Europe is usually more expensive than in town. Sometimes it makes sense to take the subway or bus to a rental station in order to save some money.

Google maps is a great start, but it all depends on your time of travel. (Waze is very popular in Europe.) If you attempt to drive during any public holiday, summer break start or end, rush hour - your “BMW on the autobahn” experience could be like driving in Manhattan at 5PM. And summer month are notorious for…

You’re right. It has three syllables. I don’t know why they skip the “l” - it is definitely pronounced. Not like in “folks”.

I wish it was into my account!

If it wasn’t you, for sure my girlfriend did it. I told her to only run it for the current year, now our 5GB Outlook account blew up.

Now that’s a really bad Bad boy ;)

Better than ever? Oh yeah...

And - is he still your buddy?

So who of you nerds has been to 3rd grade, he?

Policies differ on each cruise line, so be sure to check these or don’t care and pay a 250$ fine (this is sometimes also valid for e-cigarettes!) There is of course the smell issue if you’re bothering someone on the next balcony, but mostly it’s a safety hazard. People just flicked the cigarette overboard and it…

You should check out Princess Cruises. The flights I found were always cheaper than Kayak etc. Plus - since they are connected to your cruise - you are safe, should the ship have a delay. (This can save you a LOT of money...)
