Spare Me
That's a good one, nan!! And I'll keep your little gem of wisdom tucked away when the specter of wasted years rears its head. Cornball observation of the day: Everything and everyone has got us where we are today and today isn't looking too bad....— April 14, 2010 12:52 p.m.

Thanks, Nan, glad it got your Wednesday off to a good start!! And to answer your question - HELL, NO!! He could have been swinging a Louisville Slugger and I still would have run for my life.— April 14, 2010 12:03 p.m.

Thank you, refried, for your benevolence. Once finished, we can all be baptised in a bath of vodka, our souls cleansed of cupid's carnage from the past....Jay Allen shall be our pastor. As our chosen one, please forgive me for past transgressions regarding a thread regarding a certain someone who shall remain nameless. I am not a big fan of texting, IMing, tweeting. I'm too wordy, much to the boredom of my friends.— April 14, 2010 11:30 a.m.

Those bell-bottoms are rad!! Quilly, those bells with that Member's Only jacket and you would be banging!! Sniff, sniff. Sad Farrah video. I adored Charlie's Angels.— April 14, 2010 10:09 a.m.
Spare Me
Tracking down old flames on facebook is like a minefield. I have found mostly, like AG, that I am disappointed. You hope they have changed, even a little, and then find it is even worse. Or maybe less tolerable because you've grown-up. I have been more than a little embarrassed to go back in time and relive the carrion of past relationships. This one was the freshest and still lingering in my brain, so it felt good to purge it. I can't afford the swimming pool amount of vodka necessary to drown it.— April 14, 2010 7:40 a.m.

Don, please do a story on this!! It is way overdue. I loved the Butcher Shop. Had many a lunch there, and when friend's and boyfriend's parents came to town and asked where to have dinner, it was always the Butcher Shop. This was when you could have a cigarette with your meal, and the waitresses would light it for you. I know it sounds awful now, in this PC age, but I adored going there. I knew a little bit about the history, having heard stories about the goings on, but that just made it all the more attractive to me. The clubby seating, the velvet wallpaper, the leggy waitresses!! Oh, it was heaven!! I felt like a grown-up when I went there. I hated when they changed to "uniforms" for the staff. These women were gorgeous, tall and built to last, and deserved to be known as the best "asset" they had to offer. I don't know what happened, but I have fond memories of being one of the few girls that really appreciated the Butcher Shop for what it was. The last male bastion. Hate me if you will, but I loved it.— April 13, 2010 7:47 p.m.

It is still open. I think it was sold recently. It's really difficult to find history on this place. Oh, SP is referring to the "old" Butcher shop in the sense that in the later '90s they cleaned up their act and changed the uniforms to these ugly button down shirts and jean skirts. He was waxing nostalgic for the short grecian style tunics the "waitresses" wore and the shenanigans going on in the secret back rooms. As in "the good old days".— April 13, 2010 5:29 p.m.
Wave of Concern
No, it was meant to point out that people often look the other way when confronted with cruelty rather than get involved. The dog situation was an example, not a rather than.— April 13, 2010 3:41 p.m.
