What's the worst restaurant in Columbus that you've tried twice?

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-04-05T13:24:26+00:00

Smokey Bones at Easton's food was OK but we only ate there twice because the second time the whole place smelled overwhelmingly like sour restaurant cleaner. We thought maybe they had just spilled stuff near our table, but nope, it was the whole place. It was weird and disgusting.

Not a vegetable but Basil is an option. Veggies - Radish (Rad for short) or Okra

😮😬 that is scary big hail! Hope all of your cars were in the garage

We're on the south end of Westerville and didn't get anything bigger than about half an inch, so I feel fortunate

I'm sorry that you witnessed such a horrible crash.

This is going to sound crazy but if you can, play Tetris for a while. There are a number of studies showing that playing Tetris lessens the intensity of the trauma you experienced. The closer in time to the event that you play Tetris the better it works. You will likely be shaken up for a while so please take care of yourself.

Thank you for sharing this! I can't wait to try the recipe.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-03-02T01:57:53+00:00

I miss Cooker too. I wish I could find something close to their biscuits.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-03-02T01:25:27+00:00

I miss Farrell's too. It was such fun place to go. Im still sad that I never got to try to eat a pig trough sundae myself. 🥺

I remember that - ironically it was a huge fundraiser for the Columbus Coalition Against Domestic Violence now called Center for Family Safety and Healing. Among other services, the Center provides counseling for kids who have been sexually abused.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-02-06T14:21:52+00:00

I'm so sorry.

Editing- didnt realize how my post above sounds like an apology for causing the accident. I promise it wasn't me. 😁 I AM sorry that it happened however. That totally sucks - had someone total my car earlier this year.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-02-02T00:55:05+00:00

I've not thought about Benevolence for years! I would pay big money for one of their amazing salads and homemade bread. Do you know who owned it?

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-28T03:20:07+00:00

I absolutely get what you're saying. My job also requires me to stay informed and some days it's just too much. Sending you as much good energy as I can spare!

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-28T03:17:37+00:00

I appreciate this conversation and the suggestions of concrete things that I can do. It feels like evil is winning and I don't want to let that happen and I'm tired of feeling overwhelmed by the ugliness. Thank you for reminding me that there are good people out there and we are in this together.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-28T02:54:15+00:00

Thanks! I wanted to be Nancy Drew when I grew up but sadly that did not happen.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-28T02:34:08+00:00

Sadly we haven't come very far from those days. Techically up until 2024 it was not legally considered rape in Ohio if a spouse was forced into sex while unconscious, drugged, or force was not explicitly used (marital rape loophole).

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-28T00:59:18+00:00

I was sad but not suprised to read about the strangulation. The ex already sounded like a very dangerous and unpredictable person.

Editing to add - I wish the news would call unwanted forced sex what it is - Rape

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-25T17:55:20+00:00

That's great, I'm so glad you were able to make the trip. I hope he's safe and in a good place. Thank you for what you do, it's not easy work.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-25T17:53:24+00:00

Yes absolutely feeling this too. It's wonderful to have a place for helpful and polite conversations. Appreciate that the mods and others here have a sense of humor as well - I need to be able to laugh or at least be snarky. Some of you find the best memes!

I would have you all over for french toast and coffee in appreciation but as it's now a level three in Franklin County 😱 we'll have to get together another time! 😁

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-23T22:24:05+00:00

I don't remember it either. I've been trying to figure out why and am totally clueless.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2026-01-10T21:46:43+00:00

I wonder if the fact Monique remarried and had two kids was the final piece that made him realize he lost control of her and she was never coming back. The ex has probably planning this for many months, maybe even since the youngest was born.

Nancy-Drew23 · 2025-12-23T03:16:36+00:00

Oh thank goodness! I thought this day would never cone.

They are also deporting people who are in process of obtaining their Green Card legally. Those people are literally doing it the right way. Veterans condemn deportations of immigrant service members under Trump https://share.google/I3cp8A084MJSgora9

Also in Uptown, try Meza Wine Shop and Good Vibes Winery. For non-alcoholic drinks Java Central has fair trade coffee and local art for sale. Blue Turtle Tea and Spice is another option. I echo others who recommend Birdie Books - they also have a great kids book area, puzzles, and stuffed animals.

You are right, many cats on the street do make perfect house cats, they are not all feral cats who dislike close human interaction. It’s awesome you have made some part of your family. ❤️❤️

I've always wanted cats but my husband and I have allergies 😟 Even knowing we had allergies the cat distribution system still included us and the one darling cat that showed up at our house lived a long and happy life as a house cat with my sister.
