Tipping

TIPS= To Insure Proper Service. My wife was a waitress and worked for years at IHOP. She learned a very long time ago how and why most people leave tips. Now when you go into an IHOP restaraunt with small children, they give you crayons and a place mat the children can color on. MY wife carried crayons in her apron for this, long before IHOP ever started doing it. My wife could leave the house to go to work and be so mad at me for one reason or the other, and get to work and treat her customers like they were the most special people in the world. Yes my wife knew what she was doing and was a very very special person.

:welcome:tebo :wave: You're wife was a pioneer and a professional people person sounds like. How long has she been gone from this world? :wub:

My wife and love of my life pasted away August 29 of this year. You are right, she was a very special person.

OMG, so recent, so sorry, tebo. How many years were ya'll married? Do you have any family or children nearby? Were you alone for the holiday? :wub: I bet you missed your wife's cookin' this year. :(

Kristi, we were married for right at 30 yrs. I have some of her family close by, which is a blessing. I chose to visit her gravesite on Thanksgiving and be thahkful for the years we shared together. I miss almost everything about her. We fussed like everyone else, but you don't really know and can't imagine what the loss encompass' until you have lossed the main persson in your life. This is making me feel really bad, but I am happy to share the thoughts with someone who seems to care. I miss everything about her.

tebo, please join the rest of us and post often.
Take care.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get you feelin' sad. Hubba and I have been married goin' on 28 years. I can't imagine how lonely I would be without him. After I lost my Dad at 60, 8 years ago to a form of Leukemia, I started really freakin' out that Hubba was gonna die too and then I remembered. Oh yeah, we're all gonna die, I just hope it's much later and like in our sleep or somethin'. :idontno:
I'm glad you have family nearby. Guess what you now have a whole sowal message board family here too. I think people do really care about other people and it shows in families like this 'crazy' Sowal message board family. We really :wub: each other too even though we sometimes get in to 'it". :idontno:
I bet you will miss her forever. Try and remember just the happy stuff because there was a lot of it I am sure. :wub: Happy spirits will keep her in a very special place always. Tebo, as long as you can keep on reaching out to others and taking good care of yourself in the meantime, you will get through this. You know that's how she would have wanted it. Do you have any hobbies you really like to help keep you busy? :cool:
Whatever you do, keep on postin'! :wave:

See post above yours. We still can't...swgb still has some learning to do. :wave:

I apologize, would you like me to delete it? I knew we couldn't use the word on here, didn't realize we couldn't link to it.

I think you can post a link, but you should give warning if it has potty mouth in it, so that people who are SoWalling at work won't get in trouble with Whitey.

does everyone work for Whiteyfunn? :idontno: (I'm sorry....for the longest when I first started lurking on here I actually thought RO worked for Whiteyfunn...'cause he always said that)

"Whitey" is a reference to Steve Martin's film, "The Jerk," and it basically means the boss, as in, during slavery, the White man was always the boss. Now a black female can be Whitey. It is just whomever you happen to be working for. Uncle Sam can also be Whitey, since most of us work from January thru April or May to pay The Man. By the way, nowadays, a woman can also be "The Man."

None of this has anything to do with our Whiteyfunn, unless of course, you are working for her.

If you sympathize with the following video you should never, never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, ever eat out again.
