ROFL BOX

That's my route to come off Creek Road, then go down to Blanco & on to San Antonio. Do you live down thataways? . . . . . . . . . . . . Have been to Dreamland a few times for Scout "fun day" activities & we built the stage out back. (Attached pic) Every time we go to El Rey, a reasonable % of patrons appear to be Hispanic / non English speaking & that seems to be a decent reference. & FWIW, I think their food is good. The Flores taco stand is also good & IIRC, you can also get a brisket Taco. Don't base Pig Pen solely on a sandwich [emoji849], the ribs are good & they have a good stuffed baked potato offering. I'm not a fan of Railroad BBQ for various reasons. One Shot Distillery is owned by folks that were "on scene for J6 but we didn't go in... I swear!" folks, so do with that whatever you want. Oak Creek is serviceable generic food; I try to go primarily because it is local & reasonably priced. I like Homespun. This location has been many different restaurants overr the past 15 years or so with the current owner doing the best, especially after they added the back / outdoor part. In many of the floods since the Homespun people have operated it, they keep asking for donations to help out. Turcotte... didn't you specify the cheese you wanted? Never a bad sandwich there & yes, I'm usually getting the Philly. Pizza Cave has a good pork soup & good slices with a nice view off the back of the building. For what you get, IMO the Filling Station is a tad bit overpriced. YMMV. Thyme & Dough is a good small-ish sandwich opportunity & @ one time, we occasionally sold eggs to them. I honestly have Ø idea what keeps them in business because they never seem to be busy / have enough seating to afford the space & all the costs associated with that (also, shared parking 290 frontage with Pig Pen). Back East in Belterra Spoon & Fork is good. Thai w/ lots of good broth stuff & just enough sweet / generic "Asian" to satisfy the average American's palette. I'm 50-50 on Switch. The "switch" part is ½ Cajun / ½ Q, however they never really have figured out what they wanted to be. The League has an excellent fish & chips & a good price for "Burger Monday". My son likes their pot pie, says it's the best ever (he's 17, so what life experience does he have?). The dirt year or so that we went there, every.single.time we ordered anything fried or with French fries , the waitstaff seemed to fear they were being "Mystery Shopped" & would always ask "Would you like to 'Truffle Up' that ____ ?" & it became sorta tedious. Shrimp cocktail is usually very fat offerings. I think they make their own pickles. West Henly Boilshack is close by & you're maybe paying $ 1 extra per pound due to location / distance to other options. Never a bad time there. Hill Country Ranch Pizza, when they first opened - the pie itself was cardboard crap. They must have received feedback because something got fixed & it's now more like a 7.5 / 10. I have been 1× to Tillie's @ Camp Luch & liked it, however my wife thinks it's "too strange & high priced" (she is more of a generic / typical offerings kinda eater). It has been some years, so I don't recall what we got. The building for Tillie's is interesting & has a background of "relocating" the structure from Vietnam. I don't remember the handle, however we have a Shag² member who lives across from Camp Lucy. & That's my perspective on the "Locals" review.

If only we had a dedicated section for discussing food, travel & restaurants somewhere on this BBS. [emoji848] 218 Produce Row San Antonio 78207 Mi Tierra

I'm about as anti-SovCit as anyone you'll find, however in this example, their reasons for pulling him over seemed quite specious. The only thing missing was their jaws hitting the pavement as he pedaled off. "Too many lights"? Nonsense. He could be a Rose Bowl parade of one if he wanted to. All the better to be seen & not get whacked by a car.

Mom is having an L2 ~ L3 Xlist / Laminectomy on Fridsy. I took her to the pre-op clearance yesterday. Serious business for a neatly 79 year old lady. Doc says she needs 1:1 assistance for 3 days post discharge, yet this is only an overnight stay in the hospital & unless you're IN the hospital for 3 days, a rehab type "nursing home" facility is not approved. Hell, when she had her knee replaced she was able to get approved for that same type of rehab stay... & this one is spine related. [emoji53]

Apparently I'm concentrated. Not "constipated", concentrated.

But... was he wrong?

Shingles / [emoji215] pox talk not going away. Back in '94, GF (that became wife #1) had Systemic Lupus Erythmatosis (SLE, or simply "Lupus"¹). She apparently came down with Shingles again (she was 28, supposedly her 3rd or 3th outbreak). "Say, Shug... have you ever had Chicken Pox or the vaccine?" Me: "Ummm... Dunno. Let's call Mom. Mom, medical professional, RRT: "Errr... I ¿think? so. Me, waking up 36 hours later in her bed (@ her parents house) after having "taken a nap" & then essentially passing out without even waking to go to the bathroom: "What the hell was all of that about??" Being itchy for a week was a rough one & I still have a scar near my R ear & over my L eyebrow. I have heard of people getting pox on their eyelid. ¡yikes! I guess I should get the Shingrix vax? ¹it was the Lupus that eventually took her on 17 Jan 97 (Austin Diagnostic, the hospital in Austin @ Parmer & MoPac) & she's how I got to Austin.

Are you certain that shouldn't go in the "Wives & the Stupid" thread? & FWIW, my wife refuses to understand why a receptacle should be installed with the ground up vs. the "WHAAAT?" look.

& Like Amelia, aggy never wins @ landing time.

Vince McMahon may be looking for an intern.

"Talkin' about..."

Well, no.

Is there a 'rasslin moved called an "Eiffel Tower"?

I was on the roof of my Margate home with a neighbor as we watched the smoke trail seem to go wrong.

TBF, you're possibly cuter than most of the lesbians I have met.
