    Yes. But don't forget that premium upcharge for the Maine ambiance factor.
    Poor B & family were forced to endure the coast of Monterey during their meal. Probably should've billed the restaurant for putting up with the view.

    Gotchya.

    That's the way most of the folks I work with get promoted. Hang out with the boss, ride around with him, hang out in his office, don't make waves. Then they go to these stupid "SDP" (Supervisor Development Program), classes that are required to be promoted, to learn how to be a supervisor and 99% of em just got out of high school, not really but they are really young or I'm just older than I think I am, lol. They don't have any life experience much less work experience to lead a bunch of grown men and women that have been doing it since before most of them were born and like you said, most of em wouldn't begin to do or have never done most of the jobs that they demand of the folks that are working under them. IMO, if you have to go to a class to learn how to be a supervisor you shouldn't be one anyway.

    The problem lies in that the people that should be supervisor's see what goes on system wide and don't want any part of it, including me. I've had my chances but there's just no way. I know several people that were supervisors and gave it back, they found out real quick how screwed up it is, you gotta fall in line to fit in and that definitely ain't me.

    This could turn into a big rant real easy but I'll back er down.

    Yep. Has to be photoshop. A set of Ds tapering down into what looks like a 22inch waist flailing out into comfort built hips. And she’s about 5’5...

    Whatdaya think...36-22-36 on a 5’5 frame? Those numbers are illegal.

    Isn't there always?
    Anyone who thinks otherwise should probably take a good, hard, look at their self-righteousness.

    Condolences.
    Losing a critter isn't ever an easy thing when there's a 2-way bond.

    Good read, @Bear135. The first thing that came to mind was an "Over-inflated sense of self worth" by some of the land owners because of their "reasons" for doing what they did.
    Just my thoughts.

    A conservative estimate, shall we say..... In most facets of life I'm 'neutral'. An Absurdist, philosophically. We live in an attempt to organize the chaos; it's all chaos; might as well laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
