Love ya... Russ

Paul, I agree with you completely. I avoid all-you-can-eat places because the food is all about quantity, not quality. If the people with me insist on going there, I pay the normal price. They didn't charge me extra when I used to fill my plate 3 or 4 times. If it's a place that has a menu, I can always find something small, like an appetizer or salad, or I take leftovers home.

Hey Paul, your the first person I've seen that doesn't mind a buffet. I love having the variety, if the first tiny taste isn't good, no more. Of course I only take a spoon or two so I don't waste.

Hey Paul, hmmm, I didn't get that this was for the kids menu, I guess i'll have to read it again....i thought it was for a 25% discount on what ever you ordered....and if i'm going to souper salad anyway... I thought this was a marketing ploy to get us into the resturants I agree,,,the kids menu is nothing to lean towards it is crap, and I do see not surrendering you power to a waiter..... hey send me some of those pork chops....they sound good...

Paul... it saying...."The above named patient has had gastric surgery which has reduced his/her stomach capacity to less than 3 oz. Please allow him/her to order a smaller portion or make a selection from the children's menu." ahh hell no....I want it to read...."this used it be a fat slob, now he is healthy, and we need to respect him, for the mind blowing effort he has shown, with a mandatory discount!!!!!" russ
