I'm watching a creepy recut trailer for Mary Poppins. Amazing what film editors can actually do. If I'd seen this trailer I'd have RUN to see the movie. Eerie. Here's the link if you want it:  www.youtube.com/watch  Makes me shiver a little.

All right - this is just too much. Here comes ANOTHER storm. A strong one.

I'm safe in my house. But, come on ( Read more... )

Another one? OMG. Don't take a nap, keep an eye on the storm! Be safe.
And my opinion won't count cause here in Brazil tipping is not really a habit and they always charge for the delivery.
I'd say you did the right thing. I'd do the same.

Thank you, honey. Fortunately, this storm is just a thunderstorm - it's weakening even as I type this, so no real danger today, thankfully.

And thanks for the opinion - I feel like I did the right thing, but it's so hard to be sure sometimes.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Another storm? Man, you're lucky. As long as they're not dangerous, I love it when it storms here. Like I said in one of your other posts, it hasn't happened much this year, but when it does I am the idiot standing outside to watch.

And I definitely don't blame you on the pizza thing. I wouldn't tip after paying a delivery charge, either. Mmmm...pizza.... *stares disdainfully at the pasta in front of me*

Yeah, this wound up being just a thunderstorm, which I'm glad for. Once I was sure of that I took a Storm Nap. Felt great! Seems to have cooled off everything, which is a plus.

HAHA - I love pasta, too! Boy, tough decision there...

Okay... the MP trailer is just twisted. Some friends of mine have recently been having an ongoing lovefest with Julie and I passed it along. I may get stoned.

Here's my question to Pizza Hut. Your guys USE THEIR OWN CARS AND CARRY THEIR OWN INSURANCE!! Exactly what am I paying Pizza Hut a delivery charge for? I do think the drivers end up on the losing end of that deal but hey... choices.

Haha, it seriously is, that's why I liked it so much! Gave me the creeps. I should send it to my friend at work - he HATES Julie with a passion.

I agree - I think they're making more money for the company at the expense of their drivers - who's going to tip the driver when they have to pay a delivery fee? Unless they're passing this along to their drivers - and it's their way of guaranteeing a decent tip for them - I think it's pretty shitty tactics. I may have to research this a bit more...

I'm gonna research it more, see if I can find out what's up. Do they give the money to the driver for going? I doubt it. But I'd like to know more. Still, if these kids want to work for these places, and there's a delivery charge, they have to know that they're gonna get stiffed more and more often. It's too bad.

Yikes, seven days in a row? Have you built your ark yet?

Wasn't that creepy? Gave me chills...the guy did another one, reworking The Shining as a romantic comedy. Hysterical!

I always pick up because Domino's has pickup specials. But if they were charging me 2.50, I would definitely not tip. I'm a poor college student, whaddya expect?

And Domino's tastes better than Pizza Hut anyway. ;)
