Gin and Tonics + Skype = Good

Cellphone and doing anything else = BAD

It's nice to get together for a drink with people you haven't seen in awhile

Skype would be cool.
(never used it :(.)
I would imagine there is still a delay but the advantage of seeing someone is neat. :)
Maybe some day I will catch up 2008, oops, nix that,...1990sumpinsumpin. ::)

You sound like me, always resistant to try something technologically new.  At least you know how to post pictures in your post. 

Truly though, skype is super easy to use.  I had to use it in a class I just finished to present a power point to my professor.  And if I can do it, anyone can.

As Jeff said, the sound is good, no delays, and I do use the webcam when I talk to someone else.  At least when I look presentable.

There is no delay and the sound is almost too good , someone I talk with always comments when my dog walks by to go out the pet door . I rarely use the camera but love being able to talk online .
well golly!
I always wondered how well it worked.
Still don't quite understand how it works.
Both parties would have to be online in order to use it so, if not, do you have to "pre-call" and say "lets Skype"?
Or do you just make the call on Skype in hopes the person you want to talk to is already online?
(I know very few people who would reliably be online during most of the day)
Or... are these silly questions and my presumptions all wrong? ::)

Anyway, at least I learned how to post pictures online.
Thanks Betty! :)

Skype has an instant messenger feature and gives you the ability to be on Skype with multiple choices of statuses , such as away or offline , invisible .

I love the fact that Skype is designed to be simple and easy to use .

What's "Golden Corral"?  Is it like a fine Texas style steakhouse?  ::)

According to their website Golden Corral can "Help Yourself to Happiness."

However, after reviewing their menu and nutritional info it should be rephrased to "Help Yourself to Obesity."

As far as steak places go, you do not know true glory until you go to Tad's Steaks in midtown Manhattan. It's all about the pre-poured wine in glasses covered with saran wrap.

I think that the last time I endured a Ponderosa was 1995 in San Juan, PR. Do you fine folks actually eat at these places?

What's a Ponderosa? I've heard of a Ponderosa pine tree but I'm a bit confused by this context.  Is that like slang for a Buffett?  I've never heard of that.

Hmmpppfff...  No wonder they call it a "corral".  You'll become a plump heifer ( ::cough :: Wumputa ::cough:: ) if you "dine" there on a regular basis.

I had the non-pleasure of eating at a Ponderosa once (circa 1994) during a trip to Orlando.  Not only was the food nasty, but we were given some of the worst (and downright racist) customer service I've ever experienced in my life.  All of these crappy chains give "American cuisine" a bad name.

Allegedly, they're steak houses. Charnel houses would be a better description.

The first all you can eat buffet or "Help yourself to Happinness: (not) was in Spain in the 70's. apparently tourists thought it was Ok to eat like pigs when they were away from home, we didn't go back, but have been to a few better ones since then.

I actually like to be seated at a table and have my food brought to me by a handsome waiter..snobbish?, I don't think so, if you are going to pay for a decent meal might as well get the full service... ;)

BTW, because of the cold snowy morning I got up late, and I'm now sitting at the computer table with a steaming bowl of porridge with honey, made and served to me by my handsome hubby.    ;D

One of my childhood friends has been a waitress at Red Lobster for decades.  She is a lovely person and spreads joy.  I bet her tables get great service. 
One person's crappy chain is another person's favorite spot.  I bet most huge chains make most of their money on frequent customers and I bet most people frequent chains they genuinely enjoy. Otherwise they wouldn't return, or they'd cook at home.

There were a few years in the 90's I self-styled myself as an artiste.  Nobody was buying that, so I was mostly quite poor.

I could enjoy passing the day on 20 dollars.  I lived in Brooklyn so there were the two subway tickets.  There was a cinemaplex in the pretentiously named hideous World Wide Plaza towers, over on 8th Avenue, just above the peep show stroll. They had 2 buck 2nd run movies. 

I had a just as broke as me friend who lived in a crazy small studio pied à terre decorated like a miniature Regimes. He paid little to no rent, some older queen (maybe the original decorator?) let him stay there. My friend had a huge schlong, and chain smoked.

The little jewel box was covered in "antiqued" mirrors, you know the one's with the gold veins, like Tom Ford used in his movie, A Single Man.  Very Hollywood Regency. And ultra suede leopard print covered custom banquettes/beds along the 3 walls (the forth was the window). 

We would meet on 8th and buy cheap snacks and cheap beer and go to the 2 buck movie in the afternoon.  It was a delight.  Then we might stroll and spend 2 bucks on tokens at the peep shows. Then we would get milk shakes at McDonald's because they were always on special price. 

Then we would go to his pad and screw. 

Everything was kind of seedy but also perfect -- cause for 2 bucks each we enjoyed these diverse experiences and delights.  Including the McDonald's shake which we couldn't really afford but it was worth the 2 bucks on a hot summer evening.

When I was in grad school in Connecticut, my (now ex-) wife and I would go to Ponderosa when we were too poor to eat out anywhere else.

I remember when the first Ponderosa opened in the Cleveland area and we started going occasionally. I'm talking 40-odd years ago. I remember liking their steaks because they were grilled on an open fire. The food seemed good to me, but I was a little kid.

But then within ten years or so (and more outlets opening), the food, service and over-all experience went down the pan. The last time I ever went to one (as an adult) the steak was like shoe-leather.

We had a Bonanza Steak house when I was a kid and they must have used lots of meat tenderizer because my momma used to scream bloody murder for my dad to drive faster to get home before she pooped her pants . Then we would go do it all again the next Friday .

After living in Chicago and San Diego for 10 years I found myself having lunch at the sizzler and took note that what I once thought decent enough food just didn't cut it anymore , but I can always make do with a salad bar when I have too .

There's actually a Ponderosa not to far from where I live.  I haven't been there in years, and last time just had the salad bar.  I would never get a steak there.  I did when I was young, and hadn't yet ventured to finer restaurants.

I've never been to a Ponderosa but have been to a Bonanza.
Yes, they are known for their heavy handed food tenderizer. :P

Is one place any better than the other?

Doesn't really matter I guess. :)

I only have red meat every few months but when I do I grill my own because I can do it as well as any fine ( expensive ) steak house .

That's what we do too. (although Kenny will sometimes order a steak on the rare occasion we eat out.)
He made a steak last night on "the big green egg" and it was perfect!
(I gnawed on a few bites with my back toothers)

modified to add: the steak was served with Stonewall Kitchen's "wasabi ginger sauce". Sounds weird but it actually was a great combo.

Tonight is chicken pasta salad night. Yum.

If I could grill, I certainly would.  Steaks do taste so good that way.  But alas, the last time I tried to grill, there was a fire.  :P
