I was hoping to go back and read a "she" in Skip's post to redeem myself. Alas, there was no third-person pronoun. So, the answer is either:

A) Heck no
B) Shoot yes
C) Son-in-law never occurred to me
D) I didn't think a guy would notice a dirty floor

C is the best answer. Followed by D. :duck:

I check before I responded so I would not get caught with my foot in my mouth.

Son-in-law was the first thing that came to me.

And guys do notice dirty floors. I remember going into a Longhorn Steakhouse in NC (where they throw the peanut shells on the floor) with a friend and he looked a little upset. When I asked him "was there a problem?", he said the floor was filthy. I explained to him about the tradition of tossing the peanut shells on the floor and then he was okay.

Also, there is dirty and there is DIRTY. It's a man thing.

Z, Just kidding about D. It would be kind of interesting though, now that you mentioned it, to know whether most men read it and thought son-in-law and most women thought sister-in-law. Or it could just be that I translated it as sister-in-law because I have one, while I don't have a son-in-law. Or it could just be this is another bad, bad hijacking. Although, now I am curious whether you have a son-in-law but not a sister-in-law. Do you?

I would say something relevant now to the original post but heck if I can remember what it's about.

Sorry Tony, Mr. Admin. Sir. To quote Boomer. Hey, where's Boomer been? Oh, sorry again.

I would answer but I don't want to hijack the post and upset Tony. That said - no son-in-laws but three sister-in-laws.

Oh, then maybe both of our interpretations were gender biased/influenced. :shrug:

Sonny's BBQ, hmmmm, maybe they'll add a salad bar. :icon_hungry:

Good Lord, after reading all these posts I don't even remember what I wrote:laugh: Because I could see her I new she was a S.I.L. But of course your right with the gender boo-boo. And I agree whole heartidly with the carpet sweeper not being around my food. What made the furor was the restaurant was 3/4 empty(and that's being gracious with the count). Easily could have been cleaned even if the bus person(male or female, phew) got down on there hands & knees and picked up the various food items. The cold section that we were 1st seated in just wasn't tolerable. They cheerfully moved us to another table which was fine. This wasn't that the temp. in the whole place was bad, just certain areas. This was in April when the temps were beautiful outside and there wasn't a need for a jacket.

in the area where the "Salad Bar" was to be located. Looks like

the wishes of some posters are coming true.

I have confirmed that Sonny's will be adding a Salad Bar in the near future.

Senior specials? Maybe we'll luck out all around.

Living in Pennecamp, I don't feel like driving to 15 miles to Leesburg for a discount. Just being all the way down over here kind of separates us from most of the shopping. Colony Plaza has very little going for it. The nice bagel and Kona coffee place closed. :mornincoffee: I loved that place!

I don't think I should hold my breath until they build more "shoppertunities" on 466A. :sigh: LOL, Southern Trace is pretty far north for me!

Sonny's in LSL has a senior lunch special so you don't have to drive the 15mi. Just move your eyes to the ad on the left.

This Sonny's is unlike any other that I have been in. I grew up in Jacksonville and have been in MANY Sonny's. Most have attentive waitresses who know that attentive sevice brings tips. The LSL Sonny's is staffed by vacant minded people. Period. Nothing more need be said. We will never return. The manger of this place has no clue how to run a restaraunt. I expect a closed space early in 2011.

zcaveman 09-06-2010 07:38 AM

I only go to Sonny's for lunch but I have never had a problem with service.

uujudy 09-06-2010 09:59 AM

Ditto ZCaveman. Long ago, and one time, I had a problem with Sonny's service it was resolved immediately. We love their lunch ribs special, and we love the Friday & Saturday night $1 margaritas and beer with 1/2 price appetizers with Jimmy on the patio. :icon_hungry: :beer3:

Ruby Tuesday has delicious ribs!
