======================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> of humor and... a Boy Named Ruth.

-> Too late, the idea has already been taken. But yes, I've seen quite a

 RH> I stole it from Johnny fair and square.

Don't think he will mind at this stage of the game. (G)

-> masculine version of the name).  They dropped the Mc and used the
-> feminine spelling.  Most of the time I just use my middle initial
-> anyway.

 RH> I got my mother's middle name, which was a form of her grandmother's
 RH> first name.  My dad had his father's middle name, which was his
 RH> great-grandmother's maiden name.

We gave both of our girls Biblical middle names--Rachel Elisabeth (KJV
spelling of middle name) and Deborah Ruth. Robert was named for his
grandfathers; Sarah's middle name is Grace. Don't know yet if #3 is a
boy or girl and haven't asked yet what names they're thinking about.

->  RH> You mean like convenience store hot dogs?  I suppose if that's the
->  RH> only other option it looks OK.

-> Well, it's definately better than convenience store hot dogs.  We were
-> late leaving church this afternoon so decided to eat out.  I half
-> kiddingly suggested Taco Bell but we ended up at Red Robin.

 RH> That must be a Southern thing too - going out to eat when church lets

It is very southern but we also saw it a lot out west. I noticed it when
we lived in NC the first time so it's a long standing tradition.  We
don't do it every Sunday; the last couple have been a bit abnormal with
the anticipated, then actual move.

 RH> out. Here, only about 25% of the people go to church in the first
 RH> place.

I'm not sure what the percentage is, overall, in the area but we need to
be members in good standing in a local SBC church to keep the seminary
tuition discount. We had the first service in our new building/location
tonight--nice to be able to leave out at 6:25 and be on time (walking)
for a 6:30 service. (G)

->  RH> I tend to avoid chains on the rare occasion that I eat out.
 RH> They're
->  RH> never all that great.

-> Depends on our time, finances, how much of a hurry we're in (if
-> traveling), etc, etc. Sometimes we want something cheap and fast; other
-> times we want to just sit and enjoy our food.  Plus, some chains are
-> pretty decent, Texas Roadhouse is one we've enjoyed and I know other
-> echo folks have as well.

 RH> None of the ones I've tried have been worth a second trip.  The only
 RH> relatively close Texas Roadhouse is in a very busy shopping area.
 RH> It's great for business, but lousy for drawing anyone not there for
 RH> the
 RH> shopping.

The TRH in Savannah was part of the Savannah mall but that didn't stop
it from drawing a crowd on its own.  Probably most of the people who ate
there just came in to eat, didn't bother with the mall. That's what we
did most of the time.  Sometimes we'd wander the mall for a few minutes
afterward to let the meal settle a bit but not always.  You would
probably like it; you get a bucket of peanuts when you're seated and you
are encouraged to throw the shells on the floor.

Catch you later,
