  1. I had a mini break alone last week.  I had dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant.  Everyone around me was eating fancy meals with glasses of wine and champagne that they were clinking together.  I had pizza, mousse for dessert and a mug of hot chocolate.  I’m a takeaway and fast food joint kind of guy.  These are not my people.

      If you wind up back this way, we’ll go to JG Melon’s again, for a good burger and perfect Key Lime pie :lol:

      I don’t care for restaurants where the food is pretentious, precious, or both. Now, I am a complete foodie, and I did work in restaurants when I was young (and spent my free time watching the chefs and asking questions), and I appreciate creativity and flair, but it needs to taste as wonderful as it looks, and I don’t want to leave a restaurant and feel like I need to stop for a slice of pizza on the way home because I’m still quite hungry.

      And nothing beats a good pizza place, especially one of those little neighborhood places.

      I don’t mind fancy restaurants for a big event, or for a get-together with people I haven't seen in ages, but I’m much happier at local places and diners, to be honest. As long as the food is good, I’m going to enjoy myself even if the ice cream didn’t come from certified organic milk brought to me by a cow named Jessie, with a bit of gold leaf on top so I won’t mind paying $100 for that scoop. :lol:

  4. I had a gastroscopy done yesterday, without any sedation, since I needed to drive myself home afterwards and carry on looking after mum.  That was… unpleasant.

      Hopefully, they can identify the cause and get you on the mend quickly! :hug: 

      And I can empathize with the biting down very hard = achy jaw thing. It’s brutal, but a bit of warmth helps for me. (Tea!)

      I’m going to hope that this was simply one of those “Oh, you’ve reached a certain age” procedures, and not anything more serious! :hug:

  7. Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?

      Honestly, they’d make it up again. It just takes longer…  :lol:

      You know, you could write this and no one would ever think it was actually real. And this is coming from someone who’s had a drink in vampire bars.

      Wait… she has a husband AND a boyfriend, and she’s hitting YOU up for money??? Seriously, dude, that’s just a giant ball of suck right there. (Not the polyandry, which is fine, but the collective deadbeatness of the three of them.)

  19. For all our members who use yahoo.com, the initial run of emails triggered Yahoo’s security protocols. Some of the emails were delayed or just not delivered, because Yahoo decided we’re spammers.

    If you never got the email, please let us know in the Software > Archive Tech Support thread, in the pinned post, READ ME.

      It’s also that we have approximately 150,000 members, and we just sent out a scripted email to all of them. ALL of them. :lol:

      I’m still getting notices of delayed emails, so Yahoo still hates us. If anyone who uses Yahoo and is in need of a link also has a forum profile, I can send it in DM. Just poke me and I’ll get it out to you.

  21. Well, the admins of AFF are so skilled they scared the crap out of me.

    The other day I got an update that I would need to verify my email or something to that effect, since the site was at long last coming out of Read Only mode.

    ...only problem was, I received this email at an address I didn’t think you all knew.

      You might want to point your sister towards working, so she’ll have money of her own and won’t need to pester you.
