Minnie, no one sermonizes as well as you do. :clap:

:rotfl:

Well if that is a compliment I will take it, if not I will take that too. Guess it is the teacher in me, or that my brother is a preacher, who started delivering sermons at the age of 6. I have listened to alot.:funn:

Either way my intentions are good. I just know sometimes we all say or do something we regret and the best we can do is apologize.

Times are hard for many now and life is stressful and sometimes we just have to look past some things and move on. :wave:

One thing that really gives me a reality check is I scan the news on AOL.com before I come to SoWal forums.

Just this week, you have parents of 16 children killed in a home invasion, you have the 5 young people killed trying to beat a train, a beloved pet killed by a coyote, we lost our first baby elephant this week at our local zoo when the mother accidently speared it when it stumbled, the young man killed at Disney on the monorail was an only child, whose father died before he was born.

There is just so much suffering in people's lives, I try very, very hard never to add to it and if I do without knowing it, I try to apologize.

Because I honestly believe on any given day, most everyone tries to be the best they can be, we just all come up short sometimes.

Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the beach. :D

I just try to remember the 11th Commandment -- Thou Shalt Not Drink and Post.

I'm not saying that anyone here has done that. I'm only saying that my most regrettable, helium-filled posts (on other boards..I'm new here...give me time) have been under the influence of beer and anonymity. It's the anonymity that is the most intoxicating. So, I forgive and forget.

I hope every local restaurant has the talent, capital and customers to be successful. It benefits all of us when they do. Some fail even with all three, which is triple-sad. The restaurant business is tough!

Hello. :blush: Yes, I am Derba913, and I am one of the owners of JC's Off the Hook. I do want to apologize for my knee jerk reaction in the responses above. I was just a Mama bear trying to protect my 'baby'...

We have been a part of Grayton Beach for 35 years. This has been a labor of love. We want to provide a gathering place for good food and good times.

In order to acheive this, we need and want your feedback. The owners and kitchen manager are highly visible throughout the restaurant and are always available to hear your thoughts.

It is my wish that anyone who is unhappy with their dining experience will let one of us know so we can address the situation or make amends. Give us a chance at that time to take care of it. I can't stress this enough - if we don't know, we can't fix it, and we want you to leave satisfied.

We are new and growing - this continues to be a learning experience! We hope to be a part of this community for quite a while.

Thank you for listening to my point of view, and we hope to see you soon.

Thank you for this post Debra913. I look forward to bringing my family for a nice dinner. Don't forget fellow posters to take the log out of your own eye.
