Yes, DR Jeanne - it is surprisingly difficult to find a quiet restaurant where you can just talk.
At first I thought that said LAP DANCE.
I don't mind restaurant servers only reciting the daily specials, but I *do* mind ordering one, and finding out at the end of the meal that it was twice as expensive as anything else on the menu. Granted, I don't go out to save money (and higher end kosher restaurants in NYC are very expensive compared to similar non-kosher venues), but I'd like some warning about paying more for a single entree than my two companions' complete meals combined.
I've never been too embarrased to ask, "And how much is that?"
Good morning, all! Unless the Institute finally pays us today or the damned cabaret lady comes through I am about as overdrawn as a body can get and not thrilled about any of it. I hate this crap. I could use some financial vibes today.
Today is my dear sister, Karen's birthtday--HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!!!!!!! That must mean it is my brother's birthday, too, since he and Karen are twins, but let's not go there.
Bell bottoms, leisure suits, etc....oh my....
.... And now the song and the clothes....well...nothing gets older faster than the latest and newest and hippest things EVER.....
The forecasts are using the phrase "significant icing." Yikes!
What are the chances of Lost Horizon [1973] ever being released on DVD?
And did you know that with a QAM tuner, you can do away with the digital settop box and use the analog cable connection only. The QAM tuner pulls in all the unscrambled HDTV signals. The TV that I have now has both a digital tuner (ATSC) and a QAM tuner, so I can choose HDTV from multiple sources. Over-the-air signals contain far less compression and can be much sharper and more detailed than the (of necessity) heavily compressed signals that cable and dish customers must use.
And speaking of "trendy"...Last night on FoodTV's "Throwdown with Bobby Flay", the topic was chocolate chip cookies, and Flay did a throwdown with, you guessed it, LEVAIN - I mean, this was no contest! Poor Bobby.der Brucer
That's fine for you "out in the air" boys. Those of us who dwell in the "holler" have no access to over the air TV, satellite TV, or even cell-phones! Our Cable company encodes all but the very basic channels, so a set-top box is a must (and it is part of the DVR).der Brucer
