Here are some of the things I've learned.

If you don't want pay $28 for an entree, your only other option is to go to McDonald's.

All Kroger brand food is "inedible."

First-time visitors to San Francisco shouldn't go to Fisherman's Wharf because it is tacky.

If you are unwilling to give waiters 20% for inferior service, you should eat all your meals at home.

The worst seats in a theater are the ones close to the stage.

Have you learned anything at this forum that is contrary to what you previously believed to be true?

Don't know about some of your other items, but in many theaters the first couple of rows of seats are bad - you're so low that you sometimes can;t see the back of the stage - and if performers work right at the front of the stage and are singing or enunciating loudly you can be spit on.

<All Kroger brand food is "inedible.">

Well it's true ;-)

Hello from San Francisco

Oh, yeah, and you must stay in a boutigue hotel!

And if you don't take at least one City Guides walking tour you'll be deported.

Now, seriously. I shop in Cala Foods often, and Kroger is their generic name. Cheese is bad, really bad taste. As for instant coffee (yes, I use instant, you don't even have to shake my hand!) it's better then Folger's.

I try not to seat in the first few rows for 2 reasons: music is too loud, and the awful makeup is too visible. I enjoy it more sitting somewhere in the middle.

Also sometimes in the first few rows you have to look up and your neck hurts.

And this has all been in the last day or two, right htty?

I've learned that nothing on this site astonishes me anymore.

I have learned that nothing is that much fun if you do it all the time.
Taking a break is often helpful.

The one & only time I sat in the second row of a theater in NYC was for a performance of a group of very hard-working dancers who at one point all gathered at the front of the stage and suddenly whipped around in a fast circle-- and a sheet of perspiration flew off the stage and enveloped the audience in the first couple of rows. It was ... um ... memorable.

I've learned that some people will post absolutely ANYTHING on a public forum.

Oh, suze, what next?

I've learned that trolls will do anything for attention

I've learned that if you pan a vacation destination in your title posters will tell you that you are closed minded and should have just stayed at home.

I just learned that if an elderly person writes books, is capable of penetrating analysis, and travels the world promoting human rights that is evidence that he is "senile." (See the post about JC.)

Wasn't the lounge created for threads like this?

I have learned that some people are easily Astonished lol

Yes, CAPH..definitely lounge material.

From time to time I and other post a thread on the wrong forum.

What is the procedure for moving threads from one forum to another?

Yeah, I've done that a couple of times too. I just reposted on the right forum. Otherwise, the editors will occasionally move a thread.

THIS THREAD, AS REQUESTED, HAS BEEN RE-POSTED ON THE "LOUNGE."
