   Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is available on Netflix for steaming. I remember watching this with my dad when I was young. Now that I'm older I realize how hot Wilma was. Also what's with the rainbow patch on Buck's arm?

   Weekend Shenanigans, Part One: The Vegas Edition...wherein DR asks for a phone number 1 2

   This is a long one folks. Sorry about the length but hopefully it's worth it... I have two very different sets of friends I meet-up with in Vegas. They are extreme in their differences and their paths rarely cross. I drove to Vegas on Friday to meet with my two friends from college who enjoy the following: drinking, sitting, watching tv, working on computers, blackjack, downtown Vegas, eating. As you might imagine, neither of the two are in the best of shape. One moved from L.A. about five years ago, taking his girlfriend with him. They got married in a drive-thru chapel in Vegas on the way to their new life in Utah, where my friend grew up. The other friend h…

   Real Estate Legal Question 1 2

   Several years ago, my mom owned a house but she turned it into a life estate. She was the life tenant and me and my 4 brothers and sisters became the remaindermen. I have had a falling out with my family and I have not spoken to my family in years. About 5 months ago, a real estate agent contacted me saying my mom is trying to sell the house, but she needed all of the kids that were remaindermen to sign some paper and get it notarized in order for her to sell the house. I asked for more information since I don't want to sign documents and give them to people I do not know, the agent never got back to me. Needless to say I looked up my moms house and found out it was s…

    Let's say you are at a restaurant and you are paying your check with a credit card. The check says the total for food and tax is $100. You write nothing in the space for "tip" but you write $120.00 in the total, and sign. Does the server receive the extra $20 as a tip? I have heard that in some states the answer is yes, but in CA the answer is no. Anyone know for sure about CA? Thanks.

    Weekend shenanigans: Don't ask GA for an autograph Edition

    Friday was a supposed to have been spent in Vegas with friends, flying out of LAX on the Southwest express. Luckily, it didn’t happen. Had a migraine in the morning and it didn’t go away until the Angels game would have finished, which, in the words of Prince, ‘is a mighty long time.’ So, I sat on my ass all Friday, taking down an order of Thai food. When you have a migraine, you don’t know what to eat, so you use it as an excuse to lunch off or not eat at all. And the pity is, if you eat ‘comfort food,’ you really can’t enjoy it. So I took down a ton of calories which I didn’t really appreciate. My brother came into town around 9pm, driving…

    OC brewery/restaurant/things to do recommendations 1 2

    My Sister, BIL and Niece are flying into LAX next Friday. We'll pick them up and take them to Disneyland, go to the LAA/NYY game, and just show them around the OC area since they have only been there once before. We won't have a lot of time to do much exploring, but I was thinking definitely take them to the beach areas, hit up some bars/breweries/restaurants, maybe do some hiking or go to a cool park or something similar. We're staying in Anaheim, so I suppose we're close to a lot of things. Any recommendations on what to do or see? Quality places to eat/drink? Interesting places to take the kids (ages 4 and 3)? They're from Boston, so I'd love to give them a g…

I feel bad for the poor guy at the register, who had nothing to do with the previous night's "incident" that has to deal with this chick.
