PAGE SIX DANCE!!

And no, the waitress did not offer to make the adjustment.

She should've made the adjustment!

I suspect that seniors who ask for the discount get slightly smaller portions

Hum, I hadn't thought of that. You may be right.

Does our resident restaurant critic, DR John G, have any thoughts on this?

I would have taken it up with a manager.

Some days you bother, some days you don't.

I think the question directed at you was if restaurants serve smaller portions if you ask for the senior discount.

That’s why I would have spoken with a manager. Only they can explain why the sign and deal with how to handle the situation. A waitress often has no power to change anything.

LOL, kind of a different subject.  DR Vixmom suspects that IHOP, and other restaurants serve smaller portions if you take a senior discount.  DR Jeanne was curious if this is true.

As for our situation, we just wanted to leave and didn't bother.

Went to church this morning and had to leave early because someone was wearing a fragrance that did not agree with me. I felt a migraine coming on and started to get nauseous. I came home and slept several hours. I still feel somewhat sluggish, but not as bad as I did. 

I do wish more people--and it's mostly women--would be more conscious of how their fragrances affect others, particularly in crowded venues such as churches and concert halls.

I'm sorry it affects you so much. It bothers me, too, but once I get away from it I'm usually OK. Vibes you are completely over it very soon.

The library where I work instigated a no-scent policy for employees quite a few years ago.  Of course, that doesn't apply to patrons coming into the library.

Good for your library!

Dear reader JohnG has written a lovely Amazon review, too - it, too, contains a couple of mentions you may not want to read, but it's quite lovely and enticing.

I know that some restaurants have a special senior menu, and those items are smaller and less expensive than the items on their regular menu.

When we order a salad as a main meal, such as those huge salads at The Cheesecake Factory, I order a small size for  less money.  I rarely finish the small salad they are so big there where most restaurants the small is just the right size for me.

[Jane]

Last night we ate at Beaches, Keith had their full size Beach salad and I had the smaller one.

Page six?  Really?

Beach Salad sounds like a song from an Annette & Frankie movie.

Not writing about my donuts anymore - chocolate peanut butter, gone.  Chocolate whipped cream, gone.  Copycats.  They will rot in hell for their unoriginality.

Sorry.  Does Stan's still have his peanut butter donuts?

DR TCB, I like this photo of you that Sharry tagged you on facebook.

Last night at Beaches the Vancouver Firefighters Pipes & Drums group had a little parades at the restaurant to raise money.  I donated but couldn't actually hear what it was for.

[Jane]

All those windows look out over the Columbia River.

[Jane]

There were 10 firefighters in the parade.

[Laura]

I had a nice dinner of yellow squash zoodles, bell peppers, and onions.

They do indeed, but K's is one minute from here

Yes, it's true for most places. But there's a diner chain I go to that gives you two sides and bread with the senior special and it's nice, especially when I get a double order of the fried okra, which is always better than it has any right to be.

That sounds really good.

[John G.]

Listening to Amen Corner, one of the DV-Rs I got recently. The score is very much of its period, but it's lively and a lot of fun -- and a lot better than some of the other shows of the period that lasted far longer. Ruth Brown wails her songs the way Linda Hopkins did at the start and finish of Purlie in a way that causes goosebumps. The book for the show must have been really horrible.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Watching a fascinating documentary on the Flix of Net.

Good evening.

WIFI is really screwy tonight.

That is the largest photo I have ever seen.

Thank you, Jane.  I look like I should be back in the nursing home.
