When I'm driving I tend to be wearing my "7 league boots" and go quite long
distances without stopping for groceries. But, when I do stop I want to be fed.

 DD>>> If I want "senior" stuff I go to IHOP for their "Senior Omelette" with
 DD>>> pepper Jack cheese and sausage.

 NB>>> Is it a proper-sized serving for a nicely reduced price...?

 DD>> You betcha -- or I wouldn't go back. Three eggs, plenty cheese (choice
 DD>> of four styles), sausage, bacon or ham, and sided by toast and taters
 DD>> or two nice-sized buttermilk pancakes.

 NB>> And is that available throughout the day or only at breakfast...?

 DD> I've had it morning, noon, and night-time, too.

 NB> Ok... I'll keep that in mind... :)  We do have a IHOP locally... never
 NB> know when one might end up there... :)

My local guys, and those in the next town over are open 24/7 (Turkey Day and 25
December, too).

 DD>> My only objection to the pancakes
 DD>> is that my local IHOP seems to keep the butter balls in the I
 DD>> scream freezer and it's a real pain to spread on your hot cakes.

 NB>> Have to tuck the butter balls between the hot cakes to melt the
 NB>> butter, I suppose...  :)  Or suggest to them that it's an area for
 NB>> improvement on their part....? (G)

 DD> If I think of it - when I order I ask the server to please have the

 DD> helps.

 NB> That would work...  :)

 NB> Nice...  :)  And nice that they remembered for this year...  :)

Yes, t'was.

 NB>> Oh, and further to my btw of the last message.. twas two messages to

 DD> Either I missed a message - or it never made it to Doc's. I'm at a

 NB> I was referring to a set of four messages from you posted at Shenks

Phydeaux has turned into a cluster lately. Outpost is down, Prism up only at
certain times, Doc's has been unreachable for the past few days, either by web
or telenet. And some of my stuff not getting out from Shenk's. I dunno, I guess
we just muddle along.

 DD> As to recommending "Outpost" to anyone ..... I'd hold off on that

 NB> I hear you... I've not been on for a few days either... hope he gets

Me, too. Janis turns the telnet off during the wee smalls as that seems to be
when the script kiddies are most active. I'd like to have something reliable to
depend on.
