  1. 😆 On initial boarding's, I/we have brought a case of 750's, and have had luck with as many as six 750's (those of you from sun city center, that's 6 ) without confiscation or corkage. however; your experience may vary. 😄
  2. And a good time will be had
  3. #screwtop ... It looks like that design won't allow that, so; employ rule # 4.
  4. after viewing your portfolio, they would be greeted with open arms 😉
  5. they can be rascals. Some of the bottles were Malaysian, and the label looked friendly 😬. That's why there are Malaysians with no hair.
  6. it was hard to find good sauces on board while floating about the south pacific . That was until our head waiter appeared with seven types of bottles on a tray. ( he went down to the crew mess and brought back the good stuff)
  7. your not gonna push me over .... are you
  8. we're/ I'm in my 60's and were feelin' thirty 🥰 . In my 20's would be pushin' it 😆

  13. 😄 they're having a party without us
  14. I spent most of October and all if November visiting family in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Wonderful country, spectacular people, hella expensive compared to the....... U S. now, I know where, what and I learned .... when but, this would have been $350-$400 TOPS ! in the US. And what's with "Sunday Surcharge" ! Paid for in Aussie dollars .... ya shoulda seen the smile(s).
  15. ehhh, it can be complex. Where I live the minimum hourly wage is $20.00 U S dollars/hr. That's to flip hamburgers. Federal minimum wage is currently set @ $7.25 U S /hr. Each state has their own wage standards based on their economies. I live in California and it can be expensive to live here. The average monthly income is $29.69/hr. An single family home cost's $600,00.00 U S dollars. Across the state line I can purchase the same sq. footage home for $150 - 175 K less. The minimum wage in that state reflects that. Now if your a server in a state where the cost of living is lower then the opposing state and you collect tips, your average reported income can be more than then where I live ( i e. cocktail waitress at Bellagio's in Las Vegas vs. a server at Ihop in L A) . Discretionary income; plays a big part in the U S economy, so much so; the the state and federal government doesn't want it to go away, they want to encourage it. So what it comes down to is culture. The do's and the don'ts. The minimum wage in Australia is $15.17 /hr U S. , without tips, that's not fly in California. On the other hand if the tip/ gratuity is included in the bill, then we're still tippin'
  16. has to do with the comment about paying a living wage and whether I should move.
