I am proud about something. And a little sad. I have managed to disengage from my extended family enough that I don't want to "work on our relationship" anymore. I don't care what they do when I'm not around and I'm not pissed. I mean, ideally, I'd feel something more than nothing about all of them, but what does "ideally" have to do with any of those people? We never have a good time together anyway. But, still, the drama kind of gave me hope that something could change...that maybe if I angsted and suffered enough, they would feel bad and take it back. Or something.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

There's Maggianos in the midwest too (Chicago metro area), but I'm not sure how far their reach is.
It comes to the east coast. We have one here in DC, and I know I've been to one in Atlanta.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

NC as well - (and per wikipedia, 21 states, Mexico, Canada, and oddly enough Northern Ireland). Chicago was the original, but they're owned by some conglomerate in Dallas.
(I find them decent enough, but with the kind of terrifying portions that make me want to run and hide. Not as bad as the Cheesecake Factory, but I'm that weirdo who finds it stressful and unpleasant to get the megagigantor plates of food plonked in front of me. It's not the money or the waste - it's the OH SHIT WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO fear. Bad American!)

I like to eat family style. You can eat as much as you want, but there's no pressure because you take as little as you want.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry for your loss, Anne.
ION, now that I caught up reading posts I am hungry.

Gronk. I must be all healed since I'm back to travel. Sitting on my flight to Orlando waiting for boarding to finish.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Many sympathies, Anne and family.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Anne, I'm sorry for your loss. Lots of hugs and peace~ma for all who loved your step-grandfather.
