To Proud Father:
Yes those of us whom choose to go out to dine, should understand that we need to interact with society. But as people that want to enjoy a dinning experience that doesn’t include small children, those parents need to be AWARE OF THEIR CHILD CAUSING A FUSE IS RUDE!! It is an inconvience when at days end you want to wine and dine without the noise of a disruptive and maybe tired child. Higher end restaraunts are for a quiet adult enjoying experience. The babysitter allows for the Mom & Dad to enjoy their time out without being intrusive to other diners. Would you take your children to an R rated movie or to a bar filled with adults…? So why to a restaurant that obvioulsy is for elegant dinning. Some parents need to remember we can do things without our children present and as a adult we should be able to without the intrusivenes of an unruly child or crying baby. We all have our times when that is what we tend to but not at a fine dinning restaraunt PLEASE!!

As a proud father I enjoy taking my family out for dinner and I agree that Swiss Chalet is a better fit for young families; however, my Wife disserves a nice meal too!

It is not so cut and dry to say that young families should not or cannot enjoy a nice meal at a higher end restaurant.

Is it really that much of an inconvenience that you hear a baby cry while you eat? The world is full of other people and simply by going out for dinner you must interact with others; maybe someone should come up with on-line dinner dates - This way you can stay in your own world without the need to interact with others!

I think the meatball story is cute and when taken lightly it really doesn’t require an apology.

I couldn’t agree more! The fall trends have got me hook, line and sinker. I can’t keep myself from running off to Montreal to shop, shop, shop. Wish me luck tomorrow…

Finishing a project like that can be very rewarding. It really gives you a feeling of accomplishment, and the work doesn’t seem so bad after it’s over worth. It’s important to learn how to persist when the work gets tough, as many do-it-yourself projects have taught me.

Comment on The Lake by Sheryl

Krista - ‘The Lake’ brought tears to my eyes! Sunset Point is full of many special memories and certainly all the times with our 4 girls is a big part of the history. We just spent an absolutely perfect weekend there and each time we sat at the picnic table looking over the lake so many of those good times came to mind. But just as important are the new memories we are making and the times ahead with our expanded families. Thanks for enjoying the ‘Point’ with us and here’s to the future!

I couldn’t agree with you more. The Lone Star State has lingered on in my mind all summer. Thanks for bringing a bit of summer warmth and wonderful memories into my life today.

I have never thought of myself as being either poised or polished
so thank you so much for thinking my fun touches for the evening
added to our night out. We did have fun–it must have been the company. Thank you for the kind words.

Comment on When ‘Thank-You Very Much’ Sounds Rude by Courtney

Courtney — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:04:13 +0000

I agree. I was on a walk this morning with my Dad..a lady behind us in her bike shouts excuse me (first of all she had half of the path no need to shout excuse me at us like we were taking up the whole thing) She kind of shocked us, so we moved to the side, then she in an insincere way shouted Thank you. My dad and I just kind of looked at each other like this woman is crazy..then I hear her shout back at us…Your welcome. Suggesting that WE were the rude ones.

Some people are just so toxic (Cue the Brittany spears song)
