I am not a pet person what-so-ever, YUK!!

6 I can think of right now. I don't have any really close friends because a lot of them have kids, especially now. I am 35yrs old, which most people have kids now.

I also have been the type of person that rathers be with her man than friends. Once, when I was 21yrs old, I had a chance to go out to a nightclub the last night of the semester at College. I could either go with her or stay with my boyfriend that was talking with his friend at the friend's house. I chose to go, but the entire time I just thought about being with the boyfriend. It did have a lot to do with that we had a long distance relationship, but still, I rather be with my man than be with friends. Felt this way since I starting like guys since I was 12yrs old. The man was more important than friends. The only thing I ever wanted.

Serious question. Why do you type in that weird format (***** and CAPS)? Do you realize it does nothing to help you?

So what inspires your obsession with the food service industry?

Ever since I started to go out with my husband, late 2000, I was able to finally go out to eat a lot, like every single weekend sometimes twice or even 3 times a weekend. Never had that before.

I also started out being a very hard worker at my first job. I worked at a donut shop/diner as counter help. They gave me a raise within a month and a half $5.15 min. wage to $5.50. I always was the type of person that was called a "GO-GETTER" that I tried my best on my job. I see now I could have tried harder knowing what it's like to be a customer, back in 1998-2002(That's when I worked there off and on a little over 2yrs) I didn't.

For example, the first few months I worked there, they had a lady that complained of a cold croissant, I ignored her, thought she was lying. See, now, I have a very new prospective that NOW I KNOW what it's like to be that *PERSON*. See, my mom cooked a lot and the boyfriends I had couldn't afford to go out to eat much, so I hardly ever ate out to be a customer to understand what it felt like being that customer having those issues.

So I know now and a lot of servers that probably did go out to eat much more than I did as a kid don't have ANY CLUE of what it feels like to be a customer with a problem at their table it seems, at least that's the way they act.

So each time something goes wrong with anything in life, don't you get more pissed the more times it happens? Well, that's basically where I am now that when bad service happens, some of the issues are the SAME ISSUES that come up and it's AGGRAVATING. So that's why I ended up starting blogging. I believe since 2004. Before that I didn't know there was a such thing. I only knew forums such as Young and The Restless forum I was on talking about the show, not restaurants.

Common sense, to "EMPHASIZE" the words I am saying. Such as let's say I want to say the server should check the plate for obvious errors *BEFORE* leaving the kitchen. The key word is *BEFORE* meaning THEIR FAULT, understand?

When you go out to eat every single weekend sometimes two or three times a weekend, it's something that affects your life a lot. Especially, when things affect your feelings.

By overemphasizing so many words so often, you're actually distracting from the points you're trying to make. If you only did this for one word once every couple of posts it would make sense. The fact you do it several times each sentence is distracting and annoying.

Well sorry, I will try to tone it down.

English
Does health-care bug you a lot? Does the public school system bug you a lot?

And as far as the English goes, do they not teach it there?

None of that bugs me. I am not even registered to vote, that's how much I really care, understand? I am not into things like that, I could care less unless it affects me that I couldn't get insurance or something, but otherwise, I could care less.

You should, the education system has obviously failed you and you will depend on the health care system once those 4-ranch sides catch up to you.

I know the education system failed me, because I went to public school for most of my life. Can I do anything about that now? No, then why should I care about the pasts, huh?

Health care system doesn't matter right now since I have health insurance through my husband and I don't have any pre-existing conditions if that is what you are talking about.
