Default Apparent False Alarm for Beef O'Bradys

We were told today at lunchtime by adjacent store employee that Colony Beef O'Bradys was closed due to divorce proceedings. Sorry for false alarm. We're certainly happy that they are open for business.

Yep, could be repairs or remodel? Hopefully. The web site still shows the location.

VERY VERY very very very INTERESTING ......and EVERYONE should read this article. But I doubt it will change anyone's mind.

OCD has many manifestations.

Why would you be sorry to hear that it was a good place to get a sandwich???

I'm thinking that they read your post then fired 5 or 10 people and re-opened.
What do you think?

You're thinking and using common sense...not much room for that on this site. IMHO

Isn't that the truth ! I have a relative that is just like that. Whenever they're around the whole topic of life and conversation is Vegan this and organic that. Frankly, it makes the rest of the family uncomfortable because they're obsessed with it and I would venture to say it has become a religion for many. If someone wants to go this way OK,...don't legislate it on those around you,......keepa you hands off my Big Mac!

VillagerPL, am wondering if you read the article about orthorexia nervouso. It's very interesting and I 'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
By the way, I am very active in many sports so I do Yoga for stretching, strength, balance, calming mediatation. There are many diferent types here in TV, some way more pose driven, some more mediatative driven.
