Dang... 30 years old. That's sad.

Shh!! I was purposely not mentioning that. <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->

My new favorite food / wine place is Charlie Palmer, located at Bloomingdale's at South Coast Plaza. I will add the caveat that I have never graced a seat in the dining room; my experience is limited to the bar, and at Happy Hour at that. Happy Hour at Palmer's occurs twice a day, from 4 pm to...

Interesting... I saw that place a few weeks ago and wondered how it was. Thanks for sharing! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

That's too bad. I remember that place from way back. They were nice people. I know TIC is trying to stay with their branding and all, but at what point does "that's business" become "you're an inflexible jerk?"

I love both your stories! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> RC, I would totally encourage you to initiate a conversation with Panera Man. He may be open to it, he may not, but it would be nice of you to find out. He might be new to town, his spouse may have recently passed away, he might be...

What a bummer to hear. I went there for a lunch many years ago and enjoyed it. They had some really affordable party plans, too. I wish them the best of luck.

Momo - We have that exact same wine rack. I like it, but ours has started to bow on one side. <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> I'm not sure why, but it hasn't broken yet, so I guess we're all good. I see the cork stuck in a bottle. I think you need a vacu-vin.

We got one from Cost Plus. You might check there. PB is *way* overpriced.

Well, I'm sold. For anyone else, here is the BB FAQ, and the website for the salon.

^^^ I can honestly say that that use of the floor plans never occurred to me, but it's a very good use! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

Yes. And really, why go somewhere and drink with your friends when you can stay home and do the same for less money? If the food were better at sports bars than you can microwave / reheat in the oven / fry at home yourself, then there might be a value-add, but I can buy the same food items and...

No... but I am tempted to. I love those kinds of places.

Wow... Thanks for the info ISM! I used to spend way more than that on the Japanese permanent straightening (Hiroshi, not Yuko) that left my hair straight, but very, very flat as well. Not to get too personal, but do you color your hair? When I did Hiroshi, it would strip the color and I...

No worries. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> Cookies . . . Desserts . . . One is merely a subset of the other, although cookies can also be snacks, so leaving it in the cookie thread is ok.

That's hilarious. I once considered a mail / Internet order from D&D, and then I saw their prices. <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o -->

Yes, more info, please! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

I have a Jewish friend who would throw a big dinner party for other people who didn't celebrate Christmas or those who do, but had nothing to do Christmas eve. I went one time and it was a blast. Just because you don't celebrate Christmas doesn't mean you can't get together with friends and...
