    secrets from your job

    And traditionally, the last show on Friday nite belongs to the staff. The owners let them steal that one so that the owners will get to keep some of the money from the rest of the week. Many, many companies will not hire someone who has ever worked in a movie theater, because of the...

    Why do rich people like white Christmas lights?

    Because it's understated, of course. My expensive suburban neighborhood (north-east NJ) has been infested this last week or 2 with trucks labeled "Tasteful Holiday Designs" or "Festive Exteriors" or something like that. One house down the street had a video crew taping the construction...

    What to wear for an art gallery opening?

    Wear black. Example: Black jeans, solid black T shirt, black jacket. Extra points if the black jacket is a vintage 50's suit jacket - subtle, but offbeat. Suit is just fine. Have a good time.

    List the very first three things you would do after you win a 100M lottery!

    1. Throw huge party, all of you are invited :beer: 2. Move to remote, unpopulate area and blow things up. 3. Buy a bar in a sleazy waterfront resort and install myself & friends as the bar band.

    My sister is having a baby shower,

    :beer: The point of the baby shower is that it's part of the process of getting used to the idea that there's going to be a new person in the world sometime soon. It's a huge change from just being a couple - as any parent here will attest. For some moms (& dads) it's the first time that...

    Ramen Recipes

    Make homemade chicken soup from scratch. Put some in a bowl. Add ramen noodles (sans flavor pack). Let it sit for a minute. Eat. I used to make homemade noodles for my homemade chicken soup, but the ramen noodles are way easier and yummy. Plus, if the soup sits around, the homemade...

    So what did you score on black friday?

    Yesterday about 8AM (I was up anyway) I went to Staples and got the Palm that was on sale for 149 with a free keyboard. I needed it anyway, nice price. No lines, quick in and out. Went to the Radio Shack next door and my son got a 7 inch DVD player for 59. They were probably cheaper...

    My Latest Broadway Experience

    You saw Tarzan and Beauty and the Beast, and you don't have the decency to post your opinion? C'mon, tell us what you really think. I thought Tarzan was breathtakingly bad. The music was lame, the story was questionable, the costumes were inappropriate, the staging was ridiculous. The...

    Ehh, does this seem weird to anyone else?

    I like that - I'll make that into a t-shirt. Giving you credit, of course, Don. Thanx!

    Christmas should be removed as a holiday.

    This whole commercial holiday business is silly. The holidays are all the same, only the colors are different. The store trappings are similar for each holiday - candy, lights, decorations, "gifts", hats etc. The timing is off - you know it's finally Summer when the Back to School things...

    Associate's Degree Almost Complete

    Are you applying those credits to your Associate's Degree? Then they're "lost" already, or "used". I don't quite understand this part. My daughter got an AS from Bergen Community College and went on to Montclair. Because she had the degree, and wasn't just transferring after 2 years of...
