Hi Nancy,

 RH> haven't. Wrote to hq and they offered a free meal next time we went to
 RH> that one but we didn't take them up on it. It's along I-95 in VA so
 RH> we've been thru the area a good number of times since.

 NB> Lots of other choices, don't need to stop where you know you've had
 NB> problems...  :)

Exactly! There are quite a few places in that area so we don't lack for
choices. We don't always hit it at meal times either.

 NB>  NB>>> coupons for Zevia sodas...
 NB>  RH>> May as well send the coupons, we should be getting around more
 NB>  RH>> before they expire.
 NB>  NB>> Maybe you should send your mailing address (via email?  you
 NB> still  NB>> have mine?) ...  Dunno if I have it...  :)

 RH> You should have the e-mail before you read this note. (G)

 NB> Received, and coupons on the way to you...  :)

OK, it'll probably be in Monday's mail.

 NB>  RH>> Mom has taken a downward turn so we're trying to figure out
 NB> travel  NB>> Prayers and thoughts, etc, of course...  :)

 RH> Thanks; it looks like it'll be rough going for some months. I don't
 RH> envy my brother who's across the street from the folk's house or the
 RH> sister in Dutchess County. They are going to have to deal with things
 RH> in person on a daily or weekly basis.

 NB> I know how that goes...  lots of little details that need staying on
 NB> top of, little or bigger crises that seem to just keep showing up...
 NB> good
 NB> for your brother that your sister is close enough to help out some
 NB> with the load...  :)

She's still working so is only there on week ends and other time off but
some time is better than none. She works for the state of NY but I think
is planning to retire soon. That may (or may not) give her more time to
help.


 NB>  RH>> IOW, if you can't find something to eat, you're either a really
 NB> picky  RH>> eater or not really that hungry. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Or looking for something less expensive than what sorta catches
 NB> your

 RH> That too, and it can be hard to find.

 NB> Yup...

I can usually find something but it may not always be what I was really
wanting to eat.

 NB> that appeals, especially with a  NB>> coupon for $1 off each meal,
 NB> whichever area we might have it for... ;)

 RH> Wegman's coupon? Those would be worth taking advantage of.

 NB> Yup.  They fairly regularly have coupons off the $6 meals, or the
 NB> sushi, or the hot and cold tables, or other lunch/supper type items...
 NB> sometimes in the Menu magazine, sometimes sent in some other coupon
 NB> etc flyer in the mail, sometimes a coupon sheet lying at the end of
 NB> the
 NB> register, sometimes printed with prescription paperwork...  And yes,
 NB> worth taking advantage of, when we are planning to eat there anyway..
 NB> :)

Nice! I've told Steve that if we ever moved back up to NY (virtually no
chance of that happening, but one never knows), I'd want to shop at
Wegman's. We did get a card from them, came with a free bag that I've
used at Whole Foods and the farmer's market from time to time.

 RH> We've used fast food coupons from time to time and were nicely
 RH> surprised by the PDQ's military discount a few weeks ago.

 NB> I tend to clip and carry various fast food coupons, just in case, but
 NB> often end up tossing them when expired, unused...  It's also nice when
 NB> a discount is given, along with the coupon...  :)

Sounds about the way things run here too. (G)

 NB>  NB>> I've run in sometimes for a quick lunch and not found anything
 NB> that  NB>> I was quite interested in, though...  maybe I'm pickier
 NB> then... ;)

 RH> I know the feeling; the TGIF above offered me a free meal at the time
 RH> we were there but nothing (except getting out of there) appealed to me.

 NB> That's a slightly different case, but, yes, similar...  :)

Our first encounter with the chain (about 2 weeks prior) wan't too great
but better than this one. Different part of the state, tho not that far
away.

 RH> An hour or so down the road, we made a rest stop at a McDs--a 6 piece
 RH> McNuggests with no sauce and an M&M parfait hit the spot.

 NB> I don't think that would have appealed to me, though...  but whatever
 NB> appeals to you...  ;)

At that time I wanted no honey mustard, Jack Daniels based sauce or any
other hfcs based condiment, thus the plain chicken. The ice cream was a
treat. (G)
