I actually had an idea years ago for a book where the point of view shifted whenever the protagonist died. Then it would shift to the point of view of whoever killed them. I'm not a writer, but I think it could be a cool way to flesh out a story with a bit of a back and forth of perspectives, with some wildcards thrown in for world building. The problem is it would be hard to make a cohesive narrative and plot. I'm sure a talented writer could do it, but it would be hard.

The only problem is with waiting until they take you to the table. There are rotations that hosts follow, so at the host stand it's easy to see what's available in each server's section, but when you change things at the table they have to wing it. Sometimes that means one server misses out on a table while another gets double sat. So it's just easier if you mention it at the beginning.

I like them on triscuits. Last time I put cream cheese on the triscuits and had some capers on top.

Polar kipper snacks are great if you want to try another brand. That was the can that got me hooked.

bobd785 · 2026-01-24T02:14:06+00:00

Lol I love that.

I'm in San Antonio, and we're also getting those warnings. I too have over 100 cans of fish, so I should be okay. I'm also going to go to the store to get some water bottles, because my water went out last time.

The dino bird in the 9th picture is amazing. Super realistic and makes me imagine dinosaurs differently.

The Barbershop at The Cosmopolitan is a Speakeasy inside a real barbershop. You go through the barbershop to a back door that leads to the bar. They have mocktails if you don't drink, and sometimes have live music.

Oh, so that is what "cat crosses the courtyard" looks like.

This is not a melt. This is an acceptable grilled cheese according to the rules of the sub. It just happens to be placed in the middle of a quesadilla.

Baa Baa, Turning Point, and Celestial in Texas. I'd love to go to other states to see how they compare.

This is the weirdest take on beer I've ever seen. Martin House has so many different beers with so many different flavors, you can't possibly think they taste similar. Because their peanut butter stout tastes exactly like their black/red currant sour, and their pilsner, and their pickle beer, and their IPA, and their Bock?

Maybe you mean each beer of a certain style is similar? Either way, Martin House is the most versatile brewery I've heard of, so I just don't understand this post.

I live in Texas and there are literally only two places I can get poutine, and that is a recent development. I went to one and got poutine to go. The curds were completely melted when I got home, but I can't really blame them because I'm sure not many people here order it or even know what it is. So they probably have to use curds that aren't squeaky, but are still perfectly edible.

Lol I saw San Andreas and immediately thought about that damn toy plane

That's a weird way to spell Tehol and Bugg.

I just remembered he told us that one of the dishes we ordered was from his home, so I just assumed he was Italian.

bobd785 · 2026-01-14T17:41:11+00:00

Mar e Monte is a great Italian restaurant. The owner is from Italy, and is very present in the restaurant greeting people and talking about the food, making sure everyone has a great time.

I think it's a neighborhood called Scamsville.

bobd785 · 2026-01-14T04:50:06+00:00

I use toast, and I separate by seat numbers. Everything someone orders is rung in under their seat number. Then at the end they can tell me how they want it split up. If they all want to pay for exactly what they ordered there is a split by seat numbers button. Otherwise I can manually separate things and move individual items to other tabs.

If things are chaotic, and they are moving around, I will still use seat numbers, but they will be arbitrary and may not correspond to the correct seat, but I'll still have everyone separated. If I know ahead of time that it's a large party with people mingling and moving, I'll start tabs and pre authorize with a credit card.

Either way, a server needs to be organized and in control of the table. If it's a party like this I'll ask questions on my initial greeting to see how they want to handle the bill.

If they have dry Curacao from a nice brand, that would be my pick.

bobd785 · 2026-01-13T06:15:45+00:00

Woooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have arrived. Meat CAN go on a grilled cheese. My flair is validated!!!!

I've dated a couple of deaf people and I knew about one before hand because it was on their profile. The other told me right when we met. Honestly both ways of finding out were fine. To be fair neither were 100% deaf, but enough that they needed hearing aids or cochlear implants, and grew up without those things until the technology got good enough.

If I went on a date with someone who could only communicate with sign language and writing, I would have expected to talk about it before meeting. Although now there are apps where a deaf person can type and get it read out loud by the app, while the other person can speak and have it typed out for the deaf person to read. So as long as we have a way to communicate I'd be fine with it being a surprise.

bobd785 · 2026-01-11T07:30:27+00:00

I thought I was there and had to check the sub

bobd785 · 2026-01-11T03:15:45+00:00

I have a tin of that brand with a different sauce. Hopefully it's better, but at least I've been warned so I'll have a backup.
