I am an orphan that married an orphan and never had kids of my own...so it's just Sunday to me.
The only reason(s) I am even replying:
1.) Orphan to Orphan shoutout. Even across all that water...we be bros now.
2.) Let me tell you about brilliant gift giving. For the wife on Valentine's Day...no dead flowers or heart shaped boxes. No pricey jewels or extravagant trips. I went to a local chocolate factory and bought her a rainbow of chocolate discs for cooking/baking. Every kind she could ever need for any kind of desert she would want to make. She loved it and thought it was so much more thoughtful than a lame box of chocolates. Three months later and the chocolate is not only still hanging around, but I am currently eating a brownie made from said chocolate. In fact, I have had a wide assortment of freshly baked treats over the last 90 days. That is gift giving at it's finest my friends.

800 on the books at my restaurant today, 950 tomorrow. I'll make the kids make some crappy art and then I'll take everyone out to a crappy dinner on Thursday.

my favorite kitchen job from my younger days be the dishes next to being a busser...well at dis seafood place.. id work 4 hours 3 nights a week... get paid dat 2 sumin per hr.. but id tip out like 100+..... great bussing job.. until they started to share the tips across the board ... fucked up that system..... quit afta the change..
but back to d dishes....show me the system.... then get outs me way and leave me da **** alone.... no need to scream sautee pans.. i gets it...... radio blasting, 3 sank scrubing.... the machine.... dish bangings.. would be okay making dem house salads when me first shows up... but once its starts steaming.. leave me da fucks alone
so 11.50 hr.. id take dat.. at least in the next 10-12 years.. afta 50.. ill see if me still have the body for dat trench work.. oh and dat moving back to murica thang... but if im moving back.. weed gotsa be legal for recreational.. colorado it be....
however if you pull me off d dishes for line work more dan once.. 11.50 aint gonna work...

Speaking of Mother's day:
How do you all feel about those that try to lump in single parents with the "opposite" day of their gender (identified or genetic)?
I don't know if you've all seen this out there, but it's like there are a bunch of single dads trying to elbow in on Mother's day and be identified as "acting as a mother", and a bunch of single moms out there trying to elbow in on Father's day and be identified as "acting as a father".
Personally? I think it's bullshit if the parent tries to force the kid into it, but if the kid wants to honor their parent for taking on the opposite parent role, then so be it.
