That is impressive alright er I mean that explains a lot of things. Those Mexican phone company jobs pay pretty good I hear.

Good compromise would be full capacity but you have to show a vaccination card if you’re 18 or older to get in. That brings up a problem were going to have concerning vaccination cards. They don't exist! The cards we have right now could be easily duplicated with a scanner and a printer. Next time ...

For those that think it is too early, stay home. Obvious big problem with that premise is that fighting the virus is not an individual problem. It is all our problems. How many kids or adults can we afford to get deathly sick or die from attending the CWS and it was still worth it? How many busines...

I am hearing now that they will not be changing the name to Wahlburgers. Supposedly they are already Wahlburgers now but using the name Market Express Grille. Right now you order at the counter but they are going to go back to full service. They are also getting new menus. Instead of changing the na...

COVID has killed the buffet at Horseshoe and Harrah's as they used to operate. A new smoke free slot room has opened in part of the buffet space at Harrah's. Covid has also killed the new Sportsbook at Harrahs. The Sportsbook at Harrahs opened in July of 2019 when sports betting became legal in Iow...

Why not? 1. Anyone that wants to be completely vaccinated before the CWS can be, there is still time. 2. The vaccines are 95% Effective. 3. The other 5 % who have contracted the virus after being fully vaccinated have had no serious medical issues, most of which don't show any symptoms. Not saying ...

The point spreads have come out on a few of the Nebraska games. They have Nebraska as a 9 1/2 point favorite at Illinois on August 28th. Wow what a great bet Illinois is getting 9 1/2 points at home against lowly Nebraska. Nebraska has no better then a 50/50 chance of winning this game! Nebraska is ...

1 month from now the College World Series will be up and running with as many people as they can lure down there. The calculation if any that the government used to suddenly open everything wide up is a dubious one at best. The promoters now have their work cut out for them convincing people to go d...

Shifting the pay structure from tip to set wage will, without a doubt, result in bad service. What are you talking about? Did you fail to notice the multitude of comments in this forum about bad service in restaurants? Bad service is pervasive and common. Did you miss one of the posts right before ...

A good server can clear $150 a shift in tips. If that were true they would not be having the slightest trouble what so ever finding servers for their restaurants. As tough as times are Women and Men would be lining up around the block for a job that paid $150 a shift! Making $150 in tips per shift ...

I was looking at Craigslist, and they have job openings for managers at new Wahlburgers located at the HyVee at Stonybrook, and the one at 97th and Q. https://omaha.craigslist.org/fbh/d/omaha-wahlburgers-hy-vee-manager/7321095477.html https://omaha.craigslist.org/fbh/d/omaha-wahlburgershy-vee-front...

One would think that he has a moral failure out. Between his daughter and her siblings, they could easily absorb the funds into their own non profits.

I heard it from a pretty good source that the buffet at Horseshoe casino will not open back up after the Pandemic is over. The decision has been made and they are going to gut the area and fill it up with slot machines. My source was not an official source which is why I put this under rumors but it...

How’s it looking down here anyway? I hate to be Debbie the Downer but it looks terrible.

They should of bought both those games because 1 win is not going to get them to the 6 wins they need to earn a bowl game. This cupcake team game gives the Huskers a 5 win season at best and more then likely a 4 win season.

... I actually think Martinez looks a step faster with his off season trim down. Being a step too slow was not one of Martinez's big problems last year. Fact of the matter is he ran strong and fast and was arguably the best runner on the team. Martinez's obvious problems last year were that he lack...

2-10, 3-9 is also a possibility if they can’t solve the turnover bug and penalties that have now plagued this program for years. Martinez interception today in the spring game just made me wonder if anything has actually improved or are we just being sold false optimism. Martinez can't solve the in...

I watched the one hour Mayoral debate on channel 7 tonight. It is too bad that Neary has no real campaign and no chance what so ever of winning because he clearly would be a huge improvement.

At this point, I'm not sure its about the virus being under control. What I think, by August, if not June or July, everyone that wants a vaccine will have one.

This is an honest realization that come the 4th of July the virus is still going to be hanging around and going strong.

The polls and the stats are all showing that she can can not lose as things stand right now and that the election is already over. Stothert's best strategy for her campaign will be not to campaign anymore then she absolutely has to.

Never have we seen a more lamer Mayoral election then this one. Basically this is a non election. No true or real challengers exist. It is what it is but it ain't no good for the city of Omaha no way no how.
