Raw Salmon

Did anyone else miss the memo from yahoo asking if we wanted to get rid of the comic sans font? Because I did not get one and the font is gone. This is just one thing in a long line of reasons I am very VERY dissatisfied with yahoo lately. I use yahoo for personal mail not professional mail so offering me a funky font is OK. There is still boring font for those who wish to conduct their business from yahoo. I sent them a letter telling them not to show me anymore political ads from that obama creature (yes the o is not in caps on purpose). You see I know that yahoo has the power to display ads to me that are to my taste and liking and interests. I have NEVER shown an interest in anything political. Just looking at his head tilted toward heaven in his 2012 campaign sends me into an uncontrollable rage.  I am NOT plastering my face in front of him every moment so I do not want to see him either. I do not care about who Ashton was in a hot tub with or, how much Snookie paid for her ring, or what Jack Black named his baby.  Those things are offered, I decline. Offer the creatures ads but if I do not click on it to open it get it out of my life!!!! For the love of America do not put his face on any ad. EVER!!!!! The new faster easier email yahoo created needs to be uncreated. It is slower than and not as smart as the older version. Sometimes new and improved is not that. Ask Coke, ask The Gap. Half of the time yahoo will not even load. Not a huge fan of google but I may switch or return to my dear friends at Hotmail.

Lady Tamara of www.LochaberHighlandEstates.com  likes to have a cookie or a little cake with her afternoon tea. I bought a cookie at a local coffee shop and prepared to enjoy. The cookie was a chocolate peanut butter cookie so I could not see the bottom. I nibbled and sipped tea. The bottom of the cookie was burnt. Mmmmm. OK maybe it was a mistake. So Monday of this week I decided to give them another try. I bought their loaded oatmeal cookie which they bagged and sealed and I came home prepared my tea, set the cookie on the plate, went to my office and started my afternoon tea vacation. Guess what? The bottom of the cookie was burnt as was the one my daughter was eating. Am I the only person in town buying these awful cookies? Has no one said anything to the owners? Do people just accept shoddy products and move on?  I will not be buying any more cookies from this place and I will notify the owner.

Speaking of a horrible experience with food; My Lions Club went to a new restaurant for dinner last night. Our president had called and made what he thought was a reservation that morning for 7 that evening. We all arrive and the place is overflowing with people. We are told that they do not accept reservations. So we did not have one. We were then told it would be a 40 minute wait. I am NOT a waiter. I do not wait. I am the Princess and you will seat me now or I will take my money somewhere else. But it was not my party so I cheerfully chatted away to my fellow Lions while we waited, and waited and waited and after 75 minutes we were shown to two booths because they did not have a table large enough for 8.  We ordered. The food came to everyone but me. She looked at her empty tray and at me and asked “you had the salmon right?” Well instinct said to say no and just get a baked potato. I said yes and she promised to have it right out. It came out and looked beautiful. The edge of the salmon was warm and tasted nice. The next bite I pulled from the fish was raw. I asked my table mates if they thought it looked raw, we all concurred it was raw. The broccoli casserole was cold also. Rob waved the server over and I sent it away. I ordered baked potato skins. Those showed up fairly quickly but were not good. The manager said she would not charge us for the appetizer and apologized. When the bill came the salmon was still on it. We asked that it be removed. I will not be back. It was not anything I liked. The food, the ambiance, the whole feel of the place was wrong. Not to mention I know that the place has no intention of becoming involved with the local community. They have built a shoddy restaurant and want the money from the community with no intention of giving any back. But then I am NOT the demographic they wish to capture.

YO!!! Female creature in the silver vehicle!!! What is wrong with you? Do you see that huge stretch of pavement 20 feet in front of you with the neat little rows of stripes and a little to the left? That is a parking lot!!!!! Get it parking, you can park in it? Stopping in the middle of the street 10 feet from the left turn we need to make and thereby causing us to have to pull around you at a three way stop is not safe. Hang up the phone. Pull into the parking lot and then call your party back or ask them to hold while you pull into a slot and park.  Did you eat a bag of stupid for lunch? Pull off the road into the grass. Do something other than stop your car in the middle of the street and sit there chatting on the phone.

What is it about the mini coopers? Where are the coopers? Are there micro mini coopers? Jumbo coopers?  Super-sized coopers? I have decided that I want to drive the Coopinator. Where do I buy that vehicle?

I have photos to shoot I must run!!! A celebrity has summoned my services.
