That ad is from the Indians, not a regular old US Bank. Still, not too far behind those indians are we....

Thanks...although...we usually go on a night other than Valentine's Day...the restaurants around here are swamped on that night! We learned our lesson waiting two hours for a table at my favorite restaurant a couple of years ago!

I know completely agree, I never had any good dining experiences on Valentines day (or the closest Fri/Sat to it) and an ex-wife who insisted that we must eat out on the day, else it led to screaming and arguments. It's scarred me for life.

Char is much more reasonable, we never go out on the busy restaurant nights around Valentines day. If I'm going to take her out for dinner because I love her I will do it on nights of my choosing when the staff aren't so overwhelmed that they can't give decent service, the kitchen isn't overwhelmed and turning out substandard food, and the restaurant isn't crowded and noisy.

And this year I'm working away on the 14 February, in Glasgow again with a colleague, so if we eat out it will look like I'm having a meal with my sugar daddy. I think I'll order room service.

I've decided I'm going to look around for restaurants that are offering specials this week and then pick one and go out Thursday night after my son has karate practice...he doesn't have school Friday, so we can go out and not worry about having to get home too early. We will not, however, be taking the guinea pig to dinner with us...

I want to say something here...and try not to sound too insensitive or grumbly. But...I need to vent a little. We have quite a few people come on here that complain about feeding living things to snakes. This is not directed at you, Nate...and what you said about not liking the idea of all the wasted food trying to get your snake to eat...I completely understand what you were saying there. I'm talking about people who get upset because they don't want to feed dead pinkies, or cut them up...or cut up worms, or so forth. And the thing is...I am a huge animal lover...I can't stand to see animals dying in movies....heck, I step to the side if I walk by an ant hill so that I don't step on it. I don't like to kill living things if I don't have to...I respect life. But snakes have to eat...and they are not vegetarian. We are lucky in the fact that we don't have to feed garters live rats or rabbits...yes, I have seen big snakes eat live rabbits. I think that if you are going to make the decision to own a snake, then you have to do that with the understanding that you are going to have to feed that snake what it needs to live. If you can't do that, then maybe owning a snake is not right for you...just my opinion...sorry if it sounds harsh. But guinea pigs are vegetarians....I'm just saying.

i agree marnie! i rarely feed live though. i have a lot of snakes and buy all of my feeders in bulk, pre-killed and frozen. occasionally i'll get a picky eater that will only take live at first. i dread the feeding because i have to watch the prey item die and have to assist the snake with the kill if it's in danger of being bit while constricting the mouse or whatever it's eating. i hate it. absolutely hate it! but it's what i view as a necessary evil when dealing with reptiles, snakes in particular.

The ad that Wayne has quoted is put out by Indian tribes. They are making the loans, if you want to call them that. However, the American Banks and the way they have done business lately are not too far behind in screwing over people just like the outrageous loan and it's interest rates the Indians are offering. $5K at 113% is ludicrous but if you're desperate, you may agree to anything...

Will check when it restarts here. Second half had better pick up, first half of season 2 wasn't nearly as good as season 1,too much sat in one place building up relationships between characters, it's a zombie apocalypse we don't need complex personal relationships in the story line.

Just what kind of site have we got here, on one side a distracted deputy sheriff who can't wait for a blood bath on the other a deranged limey computer programmer who doesn't like foreplay and wants to get straight to the decapitations and limb lopping ...just what will you be eating while watching this blood fest.... some liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti perhaps.....
