[Lets try this again. Had editing issues with my first upload…sorry.]
Sometimes when you feel that your hard work will never pay off…well do not give up hope. There is a happy ending right around the corner. Good things happen to those who put in the time and sometimes that means they have to wait! Keep up the hard work!
This weekend I had the opportunity to attending the Cultural Cuisine charity event hosted by the culinary students at Fox Valley Technical College. What an AWESOME EVENT.
Great music, awesome food and best of all, it was all for a super cause. All the money from the even goes to scholarships for the culinary program. Madeline was just so excited to have me come and see her in her element. She did not disappoint. I could not be more proud of her accomplishments!
So as I try to fit the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 into my digital lifestyle, one of the features that I immediately found I’m falling in love with the most is the mobile hotspot. Verizon 4G LTE is simply amazing! An example of this was a trip I took to western Wisconsin last week. My daughter Clara was in the state dance competition in La Crosse Wisconsin. The drive from Appleton La Crosse is three hours. I used my Galaxy Note 3 as my Wi-Fi hotspot for the entire trip. About 45 minutes into the trip, my AT&T signal dropped off. I had no service. Zip, zero, nada! Not true with Verizon 4G LTE. It worked all the way through. Both my son Tommy and my son Drew were streaming Netflix and YouTube the whole way.
For those of you who are interested, six hours worth of Netflix and YouTube streaming is about 8 GB worth of data. The more you know! ☺ While I was at the local Buffalo Wild Wings, I happened to run a speed test on the network. I got over 65 Mb download speed — WOW!! The network speed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is totally “Tommy Approved”!!

Had a very good friend in New Jersey right a blog post on tipping. 10% tip, 15% or 20%?? I am very passionate about tipping.
When someone takes the time to serve you should always take good care of him or her. Robert Wegman who is the late CEO and founder of Wegman’s Super Market Chain in Rochester New York is quoted as saying “I have never given away more than I’ve gotten back.” I love that quote and I love what it stands for. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/01/24/8234048/
Basically Robert is saying that taking care of other people only comes back to your benefit.
My grandfather Robert Clifford had a similar experience. He was a frequent visitor to New York City. Grandma and grandpa used to always buy our Christmas gifts from New York City. They would stay at Hotel on Park Avenue I don’t know if it was the Park Plaza but let’s pretend it was. Grandpa always used to take good care of the Bellman. He tipped him very well. On one such visit when grandpa went to check on his room, come to find out that he never had a reservation and the hotel was full. Once he found out he didn’t have a room, he turned to the bellboy who had been tipping very well. As he told his story, the bellman took care of him and found him a room after he was told that there were no rooms at this hotel.
How well do you tip? Do you tip the bare minimum or do you tip more? Comments below.
