I'd rather eat the substantial eyebrows off of Truck's surgically removed face than eat at an Applebees.Something tells me that might not be what zooks had in mind.

In my experience black stools stink a whole lot more than the brown ones, so the extra s/h seems fair.Ordered black stools instead of brown by mistake and cost myself $130 in additional shipping chargesSo ####### pissed right now

I'm not a financial wizard but I would expect it to be the same as if you were not on a motorcycle.

Guys, this is the GMTAN. Is it possible to curtail the weather talk and for ##*%(%(q@'s sake the chain restaurant talk (which has been covered ad nauseum and is as played out as Woz's dating threads) and get back to the Gadzooks stories and the SLB/GM/everybody else funny? TIAYIC.

Agreed. The last 10 years has not been kind to that chain whatsoever.

(Sorry, Krista)I'm not above chains on the whole. I spent years traveling weekly for work and have done my time in both chains and Yelp-recommended local places. I can happily eat almost anywhere. Except Outback.My problem with Outback specifically is that, try as I might, I can't find anything good there. I have had various steaks and they just aren't what I'm looking for (taste/quality/je ne sais quoi, etc.) in a steak... and all of that I find in a steak I grill for myself or one that I get when I go to a higher end steakhouse. So I tried the chicken. And other items on the menu. I really feel as though I gave 70% of the menu a shot, and nothing was ever good.So, I've crossed it off the list and will - barring some sort of anomaly - never go there again.'SofaKings said:
no reason to apologize to other posters...pretty sure this thread you can just post whatever's on your mind.
Did ya'll realize 410 unique posters have chimed in this thread. Okay, so that's probably only like 250 people, but still, 177 with > 10 posts, that's not bad.

Back home. Fajitas and margaritas to celebrate our return to the homeland.
My final word on the Outback is that folks should stick with the sirloin. It's pretty decent for a sirloin. All of their steaks are seasoned the same way, so the more expensive cuts still taste pretty much like the sirloin.

That is a great feeling.Back when I was looking for my first teaching job the pickings were slim. I had two interviews lined up. One at a continuation school in one of the worst parts of town. The other was at a middle school in a town about 50 miles away up in the mountains. If I had my choice of jobs neither one of those would have cracked the top 20. But I needed a job badly.The interview at the continuation school was the worst job interview ever. I could write pages on how bad it sucked. The capper came at the end when the prinicipal told me that the interview, which lasted like 45 minutes, was actually just a formality...they didn't even know if the position would be available or not.2 days before I was to go up to the school in the mountains I landed a last minute interview at the school I'm at now. Best interview ever and at one of the best schools in the county. The next day they offered me a job and I took it. Fast forward to the next June. The bunglord principal from the continuation school calls me up and asks if I was still looking for a job. Keep in mind this was 9 months later. When I told him I had found a job and where I was teaching he had the gaul to ask me if I was interested in leaving. This would be like leaving a job at Stanford to teach at Chuck Wepner Junior College in Bayonne. I actually laughed at the guy. OK, it was more like a chuckle but I almost asked if the guy was serious.

A GB has a black toenail from stubbing his toe on a rock while fishing last weekend. There's a good chance I can get pics of us pulling it out with a pair of pliers on Monday. Should I take pics and if I post them should it be here or in the Drunk Thread?'krista4 said:

Virtual Addiction Test
If you believe you have a more serious problem, and you have six or more
warning signs of Internet abuse as measured by the Internet Abuse Test (IAT), you
should take the Virtual Addiction Test (VAT) below. If you answer yes to five or more
of the questions on this test than you may have an Internet addiction problem.
1. Do you feel "out of control" when using the Internet; e.g., feeling. "Carried away"?
2. When not on the Internet, do you find that you are preoccupied with the Internet or computers, (e.g.,
thinking about or reliving past experiences on the Internet, planning your next experience on the
Internet, or thinking of ways to gain access to the Internet in the future?)
3. Do you find that you need to spend greater amounts of time on the Internet to achieve
satisfaction similar to previous events?
4. Do you find yourself seeking more sexually stimulating material in order to achieve
the same result as previously?
5. Have you repeated unsuccessful efforts to control cut back or stop using the Internet?
6. Do you find yourself to be restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop
using the Internet?
7. Are you using the Internet as a way of escaping from problems or relieving a bad
mood, (e.g., feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression)?
8. After spending what you consider an excessive amount of time on the Internet and
vowing not to do so the next day, do you find yourself back on the next day or soon
after?
9. Do you find yourself lying to family members, therapists or others to conceal the
extent of your involvement with the Internet?
10. Do you find yourself committing illegal acts related to your use of the Internet?
11. Have you jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job or educational or career
opportunity? Because of your use of the Internet?Score: _______________
(If you score five or over, there is a high probability that you are addicted to the Internet.)
If you answered positively to the Internet Abuse Test warning signs or the Virtual
Addiction Test, it may be helpful to again ask yourself the two questions below which
were initially presented in chapter two. If either of your self-tests indicate that you have
a problem, follow the suggestions offered in chapters five through nine.
• Does your Internet use elicit a clear change in mood? And is your continued Internet use later
sought out and utilized to achieve its’ mood altering effects?
• Does using the Internet interfere with your life in any way, shape, or form? That is, does it have a
negative impact on your work, school, family, friends, relationships, etc.?
Both of these questions are very important. The second question is perhaps more relevant with
regard to clarifying your addiction potential. We all do things we like or find exciting because of the way it
makes us feel; it is assumed that most individuals who use the Internet find it very pleasurable. On an
intellectual basis, it satisfies many needs, including curiosity, knowledge, convenience, access to data that
is not ordinarily available, and connecting with people on a personal or sexual basis.
However, when you find yourself using the Internet as a means to gratify what might otherwise
not feel fulfilling to you, then your pleasure from online life may be superseding your satisfaction with
'real-time' living. When this occurs there may be a potential problem, for although computers and the
Internet are not in and of themselves dangerous, the preference for cyber-life over real-time life should be
viewed with some trepidation. The essence of an addiction then is a repetitive pattern of Internet behavior
which, in spite of certain negative consequences, is still continued.
