Longhorn Steakhouse has no women's restroom & Dr Pepper Rant

I agree! Plus there is just not enough snow there....yucky.

Gah!

The snow is the second thing I'd change here in Michigan. The first would be the weather in Western Michigan in general. When ever I fly back from somewhere out west, I know I'm getting close to home when I see large clouds

But I like the snow! And I live in Western Michigan and I like the weather! I think you are just crazy.....wait, no I am the one with all the paperwork...um, well I am crazy but still!

Yet another reason to never go to Texas.

If you have never been to Texas, you don't know what you are missing.

On a side note. My parents moved from Michigan to Wyoming and descovered there was not a drop of Verners. She can't even find that in stores out there.

Vernors truly is regional. That's something I'll miss if/when I move back to Texas.

Other than that, though, Texas food spanks Michigan food like a bad little schoolgirl.

And we're not huge fans of the snow. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Texas summers either, but I'd be unlikely to move back to Texas if I couldn't live in San Antonio or Austin, close enough to get an annual pass to Schlitterbahn. We'd also have a house with a pool as a requirement.

I suppose I could take the Dallas/Fort Worth area too, and in a pinch, I could even live in Lubbock.

What a GREAT phrase... I'm still wiping tears from that one.

I gave up 99% of all sodas a long time ago (for a variety of reasons that I don't need to go into)...but if you REALLY want a surprise, order any of your favorites in GERMANY.

You will get it 1) Room Temperature or slightly chilled (unless you ASK for ice) and 2) it will be HYPERCARBONATED...as in pour a glass and watch it bubble fairly furiously for the next 2-3 hours.

Chews up the throat, but REALLY clears the palette!

Dr. Pepper (along with its clones) is perhaps the only soft drink I simply cannot stand. Every four years or so I buy one, half because I forget just how awful it is, and half because I'm fascinated by just how awful it is. The diet version tastes better, and that is truly a measure of how bad a soft drink is.

Other regional drinks (I've never even heard of Cheerwine): Ale-8 One (this one is seriously regional ... just parts of Kentucky, I think), Big Red.

Drink Canada Dry. It's not a slogan; it's a challenge.

Seriously, it's about the only Ginger Ale that I can sometimes stand.

Excessive amounts of Dr. Pepper?
