Roseville fading, Glass Door given fresh shine
Great restaurant, horrible location. I don't know why Point Loma can't seem to attract and keep an upscale eatery but I would venture that there really is no location and, I am afraid to say, audience for it here. I was afraid for Umi's life when it first went in, but they have managed to hang in there. Everyone has their old favorites, and it's just a hard place to break into. Maybe it is island fever. When we want to go out to a really nice meal, we want to get off the point. Plus, the village of Point Loma is just downright icky. Rosecrans is no Prospect Street.— April 12, 2010 10:50 a.m.

Nan!! I love this!! And I love my days now and I share my coffee with Sunshine every morning because I don't want him to go away anymore.— April 11, 2010 12:05 p.m.

I swear, anti, they are always the victim, aren't they? Yes, I too for years had a beacon flashing, beckoning the less-worthy to be administered my attentions. What is it with these guys? They act as if they deserve to be taken care of. The first couple of months with my husband I thought something was wrong because we weren't fighting all the time and he didn't need tons of attention. After 13 years together, I know now that it's because this is what a HEALTHY relationship is!! Good for you for sending the deadbeat packing. He probably would have made you the fall guy for his felonious shenanigans. I loved the BumBullet reference!!— April 11, 2010 11:55 a.m.
Spare Me
Okay, real quick, a short story. One day I pull up to my house and get out of my car, wearing a suit and carrying my work satchel. Our mail carrier, who I adore (she is the coolest) looks at me and says "how I can I get a job doing what you do?" I responded "are you kidding me? How can I get a job doing what YOU do?!?"— April 11, 2010 11:42 a.m.
Steve is a Loser
CF, I met him through mutual friends. One of our pack I used to run with met him at Mesa (they had a class together) and they bonded. He became kind of a member of our tight-knit group and would come to parties, etc. The guys loved him because he was foul-mouthed and had no censor button. He got a kick out of being vulgar and seeing people's reactions. ALL of my female friends were shocked when we started seeing each other. It lasted maybe 18 months total. 18 LONG months. Had he not gotten into the accident, it would have been over once I had moved. Because I have a great life now, I believe my helping him through his recovery overfilled my karma bank!! Several of his friends shunned me after I left him, even after all I did for him. They did not appreciate my good fortune that occurred after.— April 11, 2010 11:37 a.m.

I am really bad with filler. Just the facts, ma'am. Refried, thanks so much. I may try with this one. But I have another, more personal story on the back burner.... Maybe, when the monkeys copulate, and the drunk neighbors stop pissing on my doorstep I can feed you a few samples and you can give me some advice?— April 10, 2010 10:26 p.m.
Spare Me
I know exactly what this means. I have lost hours worth of editing because my husband came in to talk to me about dinner or I was distracted on the phone with my sister and I hit the wrong button, not saving my work. But what's the alternative? You need your drunk neighbors and your friends and your family to keep you company. Most writers are loners by nature and need these interruptions. But I would trade a real job any time for these crazy characters that interrupt my life and cause me to lose my train of thought. Actually, when I have to go back and rewrite, it's better than the first because of them.— April 10, 2010 10:17 p.m.

Um, what's up with these solicitations?— April 10, 2010 9:58 p.m.

Thanks, CF! As the saying goes, if I can't be a good example let me be a terrible warning...— April 10, 2010 9:56 p.m.
