Y'know...I think I kinda sorta mebbe created a Frankenstein Monster here...
I *did* encourage one & all to air their verious & sundry complaints here...and that's *good*..
But I *do* notice that of all the threads I devised here....*this* one has *OUTPACED* all the others that were creations of mine...
Like, I know things in to-day's society kinda sorta mebbe pretty uch sucks in a lotta aspects of life and stuff, but......................
I actually expected the CLASSICAL MUSIC thread to pick up a BIGGER head of steam as opposed to *this*..
Ah, well...such is life, yes?
Ennyhoo....

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT'S HOLY.....USE A TISSUE AND CLEAN YOUR NOSE!!!!
An' I ain't talkin' about rugrats, either!
I *am* talkin' about...GROWN ADULTS...that....
WORK IN THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY!
Restaurant servers to be exact..
Well, one in particular..
It was the Pre-Mellisa era - circa 1997 - I wasn't cold outta Cleveland, Ohio..and I dropped anchor in the Colorado/Evans area of Denver.
Not far from where I resided at the time, there was a shopping complex that housed an ALBERTSON'S, a WELLS FARGO Bank, The U.S. Postal Station, & on the outskirts of the parkig lot there a DENNY's (R.I.P. to the first & last mentioned).
Anyhow, there I was brokenhearted....(My Dad, my last living relative, had died a year & a half prior)...and a rather fetching waitress...flaming red hair, green eyes, tall, statuesque & radiant....became my fave waitress there 'till I moved outta the neighbourhood & into a Downtown loft.
Her name was Sarah....and, well, she was both interesting and a bit interested, as well.....
Anyway, to make a long story short, one morn when I came to breakfast, there she was....*almost* as lovely as ever.....
Until I got a gander at that otherwise radiant visage...and saw that...
SHE HAD CRUSTY YELLOW STUFF IN HER NOSTRILS!
And THIS is something that is conducive to my having an appetite???
I kinda have a strong stomach & an iron constitution...so I *did* have my breakfast munchies....
...but I *DID* take the liberty of KEEPING MY GLASSES OFF ALL DURING MY VISIT THERE!
Needless to say, my visits there eventually came to an end when I moved from the neighbourhood, and the dining emporium subsequently closed down & was razed.
I don't wish ya any bad luck, Sarah..
You were a fine person in all the time I had the pleasure of knowing you...
But wherever you are, and whatever you're doing now....
Keep your nose clean.
Literally.
Seriously.
Please.
ESPECIALLY.....................considering the profession you happen to be in..
By the way, the bit about her being a bit interested....
She DID have a husband.
So, considering the circumstances, mebbe that was all for the best.
'Nuff Said!!!!
