I might say something - and unless I get a snotty reply/comment be quiet in so
doing. If the problem is egregious enough I vote with my wallet and my feet and
urge others to do the same.

I gave Denny's a wide berth for many years because the service tended to suck
rocks and the food was ..... well, I've served better in my school days working
in the cafeteria doling out mystery meat slathered with tasteless brown goo
billed as "gravy".

I was pleasantly surprised when the local Denny's cleaned up its act and became
(nearly) the Denny's I knew of old. Still, on the road I avoid Denny's like the
plague - druther hit a C-store for a couple roller grill items and a drink ---
to go.

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

If I think of it - when I order I ask the server to please have the kitchen
nuke to butter serving(s) for 15 seconds or so. It really helps.

Last Sunday my friends, Les and Dorothy, and I went to Little Flower Parish
Men's Club pancake and sausage breakfast. The year before I had complained to
one of the guys in the Men's Club that it made no sense to have the
packaged/sealed, whipped butter portions on ice. All it did was make them hard
to spread. This year the Land O Lakes packets were just in a tub. And, at room
temp, they spread very nicely.   Bv)=

Either I missed a message - or it never made it to Doc's. I'm at a loss to make
any sense if the above paragraph. I went to Doc's and re-read the last two
pages of messages from thee to me without discovering a "Eureka" moment. Also
looked at a page of most recent you to MLoo posts.

As to recommending "Outpost" to anyone ..... I'd hold off on that until Whistle
gets things stabilised. Been down the past two or three days. (I check at least
twice every day) Janis isn't accepting TelNet connections during the hours I am
active (04:00-06:30) with my messaging activities.
