I once had a table that came in 10 minutes before closing on Christmas Eve who stayed for two hours after closing! Two hours! When they'd finished their meal, they commented that they noticed the kitchen staff was cleaning up and I said, "Yes, most of them have kids and are trying to get home." No hints were taken.…

One of my sons works at a grocery store and he tells me that customers won't put their cell phones down long enough to get checked out or buy lotto tickets; they then get mad at him when he doesn't help them buy their stupid lotto tickets even though he has no idea what they want to buy because they're too busy…

That's an amazingly good idea! If I knew a restaurant or movie theater (please!!) did this I would patronize it just because of that.

It made YOUR life easier, but I doubt it made the wait staff's lives easier when you requested that your large party of 8 be moved to another section.

I adore kids and have volunteer jobs working with them, but I don't want to eat near them in restaurants, either. I especially don't want to listen to them cry or hear mom repeatedly chastising Little Timmy to sit still or chew with his mouth closed.

I believe she's pointing out that in a dimly lit restaurant where flash would be required, it's boorish to photograph your food.

Yes! She's my favorite, too. So cute!

"...having small amoebas chewing little pock marks on your eyeball."

Look, I dislike this lady, too but based on that DUI happening 2/17/13 her kid would need to be 9 months old for her to have been pregnant then. She doesn't appear to be that old.

He kind of did say that. I don't know if you watched the whole video, but at the end, she wanted the name of the DA the police spoke to and the cop told her if she wanted him to file a report with CPS, which would result in an investigation being opened, the name of the DA would be given to her. She shut up about it…

No, you just know stupid people. I know plenty of country music fans who aren't like that. Maybe don't generalize across an entire genre?

I saw something like that at a Lord of the Rings movie. My husband and I took our three kids, who were all old enough to see that kind of thing, and got everyone popcorn and drinks so at that point we'd spent close to $75 on the movie, which was a LOT of money for us at the time. We went early to get good seats as we…

I know you didn't ask for advice, but I just want to tell you that things are not hopeless and that they WILL get better as you work toward improving your situation. I think if you right now you take control of one thing that's in your power to change, like painting your bedroom a sunny, warm yellow so you'll feel…

I met my husband in college because he lived next door to my best friend. We were friends before we dated, so take a second look at your male friends.

I've been impressed by the workers' cheerfulness and efficiency. Someone told me that the employees start off at $12 an hour so In N Out gets first dibs on good workers.

How long do you roast them and at what temp?

Why would baby carrots be wasteful? They're just carrots that have been whittled down and I'm sure the whittled part is used for the bags of shredded carrots or put into pre-packaged salads.

I'll never understand what function carob serves, especially now that we know that dark chocolate is good for you. It tastes nothing like chocolate.

I doubt I would ever eat that Brussels/kale thingy but it's very pretty, like a flower. It would make a nice table decoration.

They're just not very crispy, like one expects fries to be. They're good, they're just not great. I look forward to the 5 Guys fries, but In N Out's fries are just kinda there. However, I don't live in California so I've only had In N Out a couple of times, so maybe they're an acquired taste or something. I just left…
