Cap'nCrazy! You are a brave man to join us. Merman keeps resisting even though I tell him he doesn't have to go into the Lounge unless he wants to.

Be careful of what you wish for. Bdarg and I are now jockeying for position at SoWal Central (the computer!). I created a monster!

That I believe! I want Merman to join in so he can read the serious posts on the real estate pages, the ones that go over my head. He needs to follow SHELLY's posts more thoroughly than me so when the prices at the beach drop by half, we'll be poised to jump and I'll get another condo...oh wait, maybe that's why Merman won't join...it might cost him!!!

Hey Mermaid, I am also waiting for SHELLY's 50% off sale so we can buy more property. Can't wait!!! :clap_1:

Thanks SJ!! :clap_1: Just what I needed, I was having major withdrawls.

Tangent Tangent- ktschris- your man Bono is on the cover of Time mag today... pictured with Bill and Melinda Gates. He makes them look even nerdier than they already look. But hey, they are loaded, so they don't care!!! :clap_1:

Thanks, you guys are sweet. However, if you want to do something for me, the next time you are in SoWal, buy some random person a drink, and spread the wealth. You may be surprised whom you meet.

Hey, today the guy at Tourneau at Lenox repaired my daughter's watch (new battery) for no charge. I asked him if it was a "Pay It Forward" thing. He said that he'd been mean to people in the past and just wanted to do something nice.

People definitely weren't buying drinks for each other at the bar at Houston's on West Paces Ferry tonight. They were trying to kill each other over tables in the bar area to avoid the 45-60 minute wait for a regular table. Nothing like the Christmas spirit gone 180?.

Question...what is the deal with Houston's and P.F. Changs??? Why do people wait 1-2 hours for food? Well, I have for the Red Bar crab cakes, but that's different. Mr. K and I were at the mall the other night and a clerk told us the wait was 1 hr and 45 min for a table at P.F. Changs...that was at 8:30 pm!!!

Love the good story. Tell us how you pay it forward!

I've NEVER understood sitting on a crowded bench for 2 hours waiting to eat somewhere either. If food is that good, the restaurant takes reservations. We have a new Changs- and it does take reservations, but then the turnoff for me is fighting my way through the crowd to get to the hostess stand to announce my arrival. You would think the Pope himself had opened up a restaurant. It's been open for a few months, but we finally went the other day when we drove by and noticed there was nobody wandering the parking lot or hanging around the door. No wait (Sat. afternoon 1:30), and I just had soup. ;-) Big spender. (Actually it was the day everyone on here, including me, was battling the cold- soup was perfect)

The restaurant I really don't get is Cheddars- never been there, but from the outside it looks like people are busting out of every opening. 2 hour waits are common. From what I have seen of the menu- salads, burgers, pasta. Waiting for that?

Y'all are all welcome to eat at my house anytime- I won't make you stand in the front yard for 2 hours, but I may grill you a burger.

 

[Smiling JOe]

Two Hours? The only time you would see me waiting in line for two hours to eat would be if I had no food and I was waiting on the Red Cross food line. In two hours, I can go to the grocery store, shop, come home, cook a three course meal, and eat. I never understood that crap either.

BTW, watch out for the valet parking guys at Houston's across from Lenox. They have been known to take things out of vehicles. ;-)
