Lovely they look too. We also have many Tibetans here and they wear
some odd clothing oft times - they are nice people and I hate that if
you chat to them they seem almost grateful that you did. They love
to grow veggies etc and a local small time church gave them the run of
the church property, you now see a church completely surrounded by all
sorts of flowers and veggies. I think it is hilarious and good to see
but there are those who wag their fingers.

I was saying that you shouldn't move to a western country and continue
to wear a mailbox. I'm not saying that there's necessarily a terrorist
hiding in that mailbox.

In many respects that was, IMO, a better way of life. Parents actually
raised their children instead of putting them in a daycare warehouse.

If a woman wants a career she should have every opportunity that a man
has, but if a couple wants to have children, they should take
responsibility to care for them.

I don't have a problem with that. No different than wearing a shirt
with the name of your favorite sports team.

If women want to cover their heads, no worse than guys wearing caps all
the time, even at the dinner table.

What I do object to are the cultures that treat women as property and
second class citizens.

It is probably preferable in the long run to the situation we have now
where were have working couples where both have high paying occupations
and have only one or two kids while the other end of the spectrum we
have welfare mothers with numerous kids by different fathers.

The closest one here is in Marysville. We've had some reasonably good meals,
given that it's mostly salad bar and steam table fare. But we've also had
enough bad ones that we haven't been back for several years.

Hoover isn't much used as a common noun in the U.S. Most of us
say "vacuum cleaner", or "vacuum". For example: "Honey, would you
get the vacuum out of the closet?" Clearly, the interrogator isn't
asking for an absence of air to be fetched from the closet.

Although I have started using "hoover" as a generic verb for eating
something quickly, "They hoovered up the chocolate chip cookies,
but not the bran muffins."

Very true. I have a Hoover vacuum but I never use the word. I vacuum the
carpet, not Hoover the carpet. Speaking of that, I need to change bags
and do just that today or tomorrow.

I've never heard it used that way but that's funny. heheh

That's a great meal even without a free coupon. Where did you come
across the free coupon? After all that food, I would wish for a
wheelchair to wheel me out. heh heh

I noticed that your birthday is coming up soon. Going to eat for free at
various birthday-offer restaurants? Hey, why not?

I would say you're brave to say that about women but I thing most of
them here are afraid of you. lol. If *I* had said that, the girl gang
would be all over me like a pack of wolves in a feeding frenzy.

They extra thick prime rib sounds so right. I've actually never had
prime rib. I need to look up what cut it is.

I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner Steve! I like Golden Corral too. Most
of their food selections I find to be very good. Recently, I had a bad
experience. I took two of my grandsons in there for dinner around five
o'clock. One of my grandsons ordered a piece of steak off the grill.
He brought it back to the table and sat there staring at it for the
longest time. I asked him if I should help him cut it? He nodded
affirmatively and I slid his plate in front of me. I grabbed my steak
knife and attempted to cut it. I swear it was the toughest chunk of
meat I ever tried to cut. It was like...wrapped in strings of rubbery
fat...but they were too tough to cut through with my steak knife.

I did not think it was beef. I went to the manager and asked him what
this cut of beef was, also what grade of beef they use? He stood there
with a blank look on his face. He said he did not know the cut or
grade of the meat. It is just shipped to the store for them to cook.

I highly recommend not eating so called steak off the grill at Golden
Corral. It is disgusting. As good as their other foods are, I would
think they would be ashamed to sell this and call it steak for fear of
harming their reputation of serving otherwise delicious food.

William

I just went on their Website and lodged an official complaint about
the Steak off their grill. I noticed their Website says they serve
"Sirloin Steak" but they do not specify the grade of meat.

It was interesting to note, very few people were even going to the
grill for their meat...they must have already tried it. What puzzles
me is why the person who buys the food for Golden Corral would keep
buying this meat that no one will eat, they just through it away.

Is it Prime? You can be pretty sure it is Select at best for the price.
Nothing wrong with leaving it out as there is no deception involved.

Good advertising. I imagine some people are eating it or it would be
discontinued. I seldom order a steak or prime rib unless it is at a
place known for the good quality stuff. I'd never get either at a pig
trough kind of place. I have low expectations at a place like that.
OTOH, there are some people that think that fare is just great!

their other food items are delicious. They have guys standing there
with a Chef's Hat, cutting meat into 6X3X1 inch approximate chunks
serving it to eight year old children, and it is unedible garbage.

I have two Dysons but I've not said that yet! Anyone with animals
should have a Dyson, can't be beat.

You and the other gas bags need to get a grip. Unlike you, she's
married and has stayed married for decades - so obviously, it does NOT
suck to be her husband.

hey Steve, I went into a Morton's Steak House and they sat the steak
which cost $85 on the table in front of me. It was burned to a crisp!

Actually, it was burned to a crisp outside with a pink layer in the
center. Waiter said it was because their grill operated over 1000
degrees. I didn't eat it.

It's on my list to visit the one that opened relatively
nearby. Just to see. It's supposed to stay hot here for
a least another week, so maybe it will be something to do.

Actually, 52 years later he still loves me a lot, on the other hand...your
wife? I guess she thought you sucked big time as a husband. BTW you were pot
stirring for responses with your post about the *girl gang*so if you can't
take the heat, stay out of the kitchen as they say.

Yes, he was trolling for responses when he posted this, so he got his wish.
