@FreedomNow26 @FarmGirlCarrie If I order my food, then I or Me serves Myself, should I or Me tip Myself? I wonder how Me and I would evaluate Myself's service... Hmmm... 🤔

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@FarmGirlCarrie I tip servers according to their service. Awesome service gets an awesome tip; I have tipped up to 50% for outstanding, stupendous service! OTOH, if I get lousy service, I leave a lousy tip. Servers: if you want a good tip from me, you must earn it! I don't simply give it away.

@Kinza1278 Do? Nothing. If it makes her happy, you wouldn't want to ruin her happiness.

@KingChandler219 @ohhanxiety This "Uncle John" was quite prolific. His works must've been particularly moving.

I wonder if he was related to Thomas Crapper... 🤔

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@ohhanxiety We always had a copy of Reader's Digest and Grit in the bathroom.

@Naturesdesires @wiseconnector I heard a rumor once (was it true?) that Perry Como helped Elvis with phrasing and breathing. Elvis Presley had a great deal of respect for Perry Como, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. He considered these men significant influences in his career.

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@wiseconnector This is an easy one for me. It can be no less than the King of Rock n' Roll himself, Elvis Presley!

MJ named himself the "King of Pop." Sorry, you can't give yourself the title; it must be earned. Prince is a close follow-up. Both Elvis and Prince went way before their times.

@wiseconnector My path in aviation led me to aviation tech. school in 1994. In late 1995 I graduated. In 1996 I earned my FAA A&P license. I worked on Boeing 737-200/-300 & McDonnell Douglas MD-82/-88 jetliners. I studied meteorology through books and a friend in NWS. I still hit the books now!

@wiseconnector My very first flight on a plane was a 1-hour introductory flight aboard a Beechcraft Sundowner. This was at a Beech Aero Club in Colorado Springs, CO. It was a thrilling first flight! We only flew around the airport a couple of times and did a couple of touch & go's. Lots of fun!

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@wiseconnector I didn't get to take any flying lessons (bummer!), but that flight piqued my interest in weather, and later, meteorology. I didn't go to school for it; but for the past 35+ years, I've been a Storm Spotter/Chaser & Amateur Meteorologist. My path in aviation went into maintenance.

@WorkElizab My mother. She was my inspiration and supporter. She was always there for me when I needed help, and I helped her when cancer took her too soon.

@IsraeliPM Mr. Prime Minister, please include my condolences with yours. 🥀

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@LuckySock3 @RobertaFresque2 Nah. Not if you use sourdough.

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@KenCantrell6 @RobertaFresque2 What's better than bacon? More bacon, of course! 🥓🥓🥓

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@RobertaFresque2 E, of course! But maybe with an extra tomato slice, and use both Romaine AND Iceberg lettuces. Need some tasty greens in there, too.

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@DanHolderMusic @wiseconnector Yes, this is true. Some people believe their prayers weren't answered, when they actually were; God simply didn't give them the answer they wanted or expected.

[Captain Skywarn @n0jaa]

@wiseconnector Yes, I do. He is there when we need Him, and especially when we don't need Him.

@AmazingEyes1122 Corned beef or luncheon loaf. Yum!
