Buffet Problems

I spent a few hours working in the yard today. There was a lot of bending down. So I was hurting afterwards. I was also hungry. Momoko voted that she go pick up some chicken. However I have been in the mood for some salad for the last few days.

My first thought was to go to Ruby Tuesdays to eat. Their salad bar is nice with real bacon, homemade croutons, and boiled egg. Then I thought we could upgrade to Golden Corral. Momoko recommended we go to a local buffet. It turned out to be a disaster.

We missed the lunch pricing for the buffet. They also charged us extra for drinks. The buffet did not have the cabbage that Momoko likes. There was not steaks. The person who was supposed to carve the meats was missing most of the time. The salad bar was a joke. I picked up the last three and a half croutons. There was an empty bowl where the sesame seeds were. I had to try to scrape up the last bit of ranch dressing. Pitiful.

I am not going back to that buffer. In the future, I shall insist on Golden Corral.

Friday Night

Today I got our cable TV bill in the mail. Our monthly rate had more than doubled. I guess our promotional rate had run out. So I called the cable company to find out how I could lower the rate without compromosing the most important channels we watch.

I thought I found a resonable solution to choose a lower level of service. But the cable company would not make this change easily. At first they wanted me to go ahead and pay the severely high bill. Then they told me they could not accurately predict what my new bill would be. What kind of nonsense is this?

Momoko talked me into finally taking the family to see the latest Harry Potter movie. It was a long one. To prepare for it, we hit the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's. The movie was really good. And I did not even read this book yet. Now we have to figure if we should watch Ponyo or G-Force next.
