I confess! One time I ate at the Olive Garden, and then went and rented

[ScreamingMeemie]

Titanic to watch at a mall that had escalators...and I stood the whole way up and down...and then we drove home while Laura Branigan serenaded us from the CD player..man that was a GREAT night! :hi:


***Did I mention the kids came with and I think I may have been breastfeeding my son?? :thumbsup:


IOW: I'm pretty much open to anything! :)

[miss_american_pie]

1. MrsGrumpy!

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. I am good! Pretty muchly!

:hi: thanks for asking! :hug: How are you?

[miss_american_pie]

3. Very well

Thanks. :hi:

[billyskank]

4. I'm sure I'm missing something here

Are you being snarky, MrsG?

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Nope! Not at all! I'm having fun!

:hug: It's all truly stuff I have done...just not together. :)

I was strolling down a memory lane of silly flame wars. ;) :loveya:

[billyskank]

39. I'm pretty out of the loop over here

I'm also going to bed. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. Sleep well billy...

I hope to get to see more of you tomorrow. :loveya:

[billyskank]

46. Thanks MrsG

I hope I do - both of those. :*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. I'm fine with the breastfeeding the kid.

Now, the other stuff, I've got some issues. If people can get by you on the esclator, then it's fine to stand. If there's stairs next to them, then you can take up the whole fucking escalator. Really spread out. No stairs, please stay to the side.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. I was taught stand on the escalators, but that's okay!

People can have different opinions...and I stand on the right so the pushy people can push on by! :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

47. I was taught stand on the right, walk on the left so it works out.

And remember to take a chance with the corn on the cob.

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. I do what my grandpa (life long farmer) told me..."shuck if you have

time" Bugs and worms still feel "good" from the outside. :) He ran a market of his produce with a trashcan next to it for over 40 years. No chances if I can help it.

[SOteric]

6. Do they offer chicken breaded with cornflakes, -

and okra?

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. No..., but I make a mean dish of okra.

:)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

49. Did somebody say OKRA?

There are some posts that will find me every time :evilgrin:

[ContraBass Black]

50. Haven't people been looking for you?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

52. I dunno?

:shrug: Is my pic on a milk carton or something? :D

[SOteric]

51. : )

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

9. But did you bread your chicken with cornflakes while...

eating veal and whalemeat?

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Whalemeat!!!!

No... but I may have bathed with it. :P

[sbj405]

16. Cornflakes bought at Walmart, no doubt.

:hide:

[kwassa]

12. I've eaten one time at the Olive Garden, too.

About a month ago.

Don't think I'll go back. Enough oil in the food to slide all the way home.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. We used to eat there all the time when my brother was a waiter there

back in the early 90's... Too expensive for a family of four now. I liked their food. :hi:

[LaurenG]

13. lol. but did you eat chicken in a corn flake coating?

:evilgrin: I'm glad you're pretty muchly doing good, lol.

edit: KW beat me to it. I type s l o w l y.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I'm sure I have! But wasn't aware!

:hi: :rofl:

[Bunny]

17. Was Woody Allen there? Or Kirstie Alley?

;)

[JohnKleeb]

20. .

:rofl:

[u4ic]

18. Did you park your Hummer

across 3 parking stalls? :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. It was only a Pacifica....

I'm not gauche... :rofl:

[Bossy Monkey]

19. I saw you! You were going the speed limit in the passing lane!

Get her!

:P

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. It was 65 and I was going 60!

That's plenty fast. :D

[SharonRB]

21. Hey, MrsG!

I was just thinking about you. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I haven't been in the Lounge much. Check out my post in the MI forum about the Bernie Sanders event this coming Sunday.

And make sure you vote for Nancy in the DFA poll if you haven't already.

How's your dad doing?

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Hi Sharon!

Did you get my PM? I ended up in the pits of Detroit all last week.


Voted...and I'll check out the MI forum! :)

He's doing good; They bumped his surgery back to next Monday, due to a scheduling mess up which is frustrating. He's taking it all in stride, while I go slowly insane.

Thanks for asking.

[SharonRB]

40. I never got your PM.

I sent you one, but never heard back from you. That's strange!

Sorry we didn't get to do lunch. Any idea when you'll be on this side of town? Think about the Bernie Sanders event in Warren on Sunday and let PF know about it. Conyers and Bonior are sponsoring it. I'm definitely going. It would be nice to get a group together.

Glad your dad is doing better.

Hope to talk to you soon.

[JohnKleeb]

22. That's nothing I had whale chops once

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. You're going to hell...I've got room left in my basket.

:)

[JohnKleeb]

33. Yay

Does hell include free veal chops?

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Since all is lost anyway...

why not? :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

38. and McNuggets

:P

[kmla]

23. Were your unruly children discussing a Jason Leopold article...

.... in a loud fashion?

While wearing "I've got Joe-mentum!" buttons?

(Or is this just a lounge flame war discussion? Sorry if I am cross-forum-post-flame referencing.) :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

29. Oh, it is open season on flame war references!

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. What she said...

:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

41. They were waiting for it to be 24 business hours

Legend has it they're still waiting :D.

[Phillycat]

26. I don't understand that flame war at all.

When I go to NYC, I have no idea where I am. I go for a show and am starving before or after because I've had to take the train in from Hoboken, AFTER driving up from Philly. I have to freaking eat! And everything, EVERYTHING around Broadway is unbelievably expensive. So where do I eat? I eat at Applebee's, TGI Fridays, Olive Garden, anywhere I know I'm not going to pay $40 for an entree, and have no idea if it's even going to be any good! What am I going to do? Hop in a cab and tell the cab driver to take me somewhere, anywhere to get something to eat?

I don't know my way around New York. I don't know how the neighborhoods relate to one another geographically. When I exit the theater, I have no idea if I'm 5 minutes or 50 minutes away from Chinatown or Little Italy. I'm hungry, I've been sitting without food for 3 hours, and I don't want to spend a fortune. I mean, WTF? Have these people never been tourists in a huge city they're not familiar with? Not everybody wants to spend a fortune to try something new that may well suck.

I live in Philly and I think I know 3/4 of the amazing restaurants in this town, but I don't begrudge tourists eating at the McDonald's on South Street (not there anymore, actually) or Pat's or Geno's even though there's better steak places. They don't know where to go! They are lost in a city they're unfamiliar with, they might have kids with them, they need to eat, and they don't want to get ripped off. If they ask me, I happily give a recommendation. Geez, people are judgemental...

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. MrG and I were in D.C. and spent the entire time not trying to find

"good" food as much as trying to find "cheap" food... We ended up taking most of our meals in the basement of the Lincoln House. :)

[kwassa]

34. There is a McDonalds a block north of the White House

Bill used to get his coffee there.

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. There was one across the street from our hotel (Grand Hyatt), and

it was heck and a half carrying that drink carrier in 90+ degree weather. :)

[kwassa]

44. I tried to use the restroom there ....

which required obtaining a key at the counter ...

and discovered that young men were having sex in the stalls in the bathroom. Several stalls.

I left without using the facility.

No joke.

[Bossy Monkey]

42. As of July '04 there was a nifty & cheap Chinese buffet in Times Square

Some detailage here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=216x530 among many, many others (details, that is).

[hfojvt]

32. I went to a mall once and the power went out

I was stuck on the escaltor for half an hour. I hate when that happens.

Wouldn't this work better with a Tom Cruise movie, or something that Skinner really hates like "It's a Wonderful Life"?

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. It might...

...but then, there are consequences for that... :hi: :rofl:

[REP]

43. Children are Appropriate at the Olive Garden

And I'm sure everyone enjoyed the view of your breasts!

[bigwillq]

53. Hey Mrs. G!

What's going on? I miss you. I haven't been on much lately. Hope all is well.

:hi:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

54. WAS that when I really had to pee....

during the rushing water scenes?!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

55. I got in trouble for giving you "how to get the car from your folks"

pointers today. :cry:

But really...offer to take your brother places...it works everytime!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

56. I heard....

:hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

[RevolutionaryActs]
