Big Bob's Italian Restaurant and Pizza | Ocklawaha, Florida

When we were in there I asked to speak with the owner. This guy comes over, full of fun and obviously from the N.Y. are so I askes him hey buddy how come you named dis place Bob's and not Vinnys, Rocco's, Sals or some Italian name? He said it was because his name was Bob! We laughed our Meatballs out the door. The place looks like a dive from the outside but the food is very Good.

I have other places but they are Secret, Don't worry I got it. NOTHING to worry about.

Are we all pizza addicts on here? Oh my, that place looks good, Nucky. As much as I at K about his excessive love - lol - for pizza and ice cream, truth be told I'm right there with him - two of my favorite "foods" for sure ever since childhood. And that's why you will rarely find ice cream in my house - too dangerous for me. As far as pizza goes, hubby and I have been restricting ourselves to the local MOD pizza joint for an occasional treat. In fact, that's where we went last night. That way we can load our pizzas up with NOTHING but veggies and at least feel like we're eating healthier and getting more nutrients. I know, K, that's not real pizza........now don't start lecturing me - lol

I thought I did a great job. However there was nothing less than a gap when the doors were closed. I could not figure out why. For months it bothered me and I would measure, re-measure and check my math. Always worked out perfectly -- yet still a gap! So frustrating.

Finally, in a fit (and aided and abetted by a bottle of Merlot) I decided this was not going to get the better of me and I measured every last portion of this closet -- INCLUDING each piece of wood.

It was then I learned this sorry, testosterone-laden fact. A 1" x 2" piece of wood does not measure 1 inch x 2 inches. Same for a 2 x 4, etc. etc. I was shocked. The next time I was at the lumberyard/hardware store I complained to the clerk. His answer was "Look lady, everyone knows those are the measurements at the mill before the wood is cut down."

Conclusion #1: I should have built the closet at the mill.

Conclusion #2: Make sure you always check measurements even when you buy a 12" ruler - since you never know.

Conclusion #3: If you ask a man "what color was George Washington's white horse?" -- be prepared for an illogical answer.

LOL - and I might add, next time drink the bottle of Merlot before you even start the project.

Great story - I'm NOTHING but impressed that you even attempted to do that on your own. And no, I didn't know any of that either but I'll be sure to store that bit of info in my brain in case a time arises that I can use it to impress my hubby. Of course, when that time finally arises, I will probably have it all bassackwards and insist I know what I'm talking about while my husband just stands there and once again shakes his head. Story of my life........lol

I'm NOTHING but tired of taking care of this property.

And it's amazing how much less pain Mrs. K is in when we're in a warmer climate. Four more years, Baby..

It's NOTHING but amazing rite? Who the hell would ever think a 2"x4" isn't 2"x4". The only reason I knew was my Dad explained it to me.

I love working with wood. Started out buying Inlaid Wood Kits and after a while started getting NOTHING but bored and cut the pieces myself. It was brutal and even back then when my eyesight was perfecto I still worked with a magnifying glass with a light.

Things are not always as they appear. Sleight of hand, Three-card Monte, Theft by Deception, Posters with two I.D.'S. The list goes on.

Maybe I'll try an Inlaid Wood Kit, Car Model, or an Aquarium with Salt Water Fish! Maybe I'll build a Robo Dog and take the batteries out at night!

I had thought NOTHING but the same thing. When walking with female nurse friend from KY I often had to get a few feet in front of her so she wood not see what I was thinking. She would usually be talking about her daughter and other stuff. She did have a large pit bull mix alongside her too though and sometimes her daughter.
