New Dunkin Donuts

[bobbbiez]

Oh Ralph, you got my mouth awatering.
Ventura's is my favorite restaurants of all time and I do mean for years. I was a cheerleader and we use to all go there after UFA's football games for pizza.

I have a very hard time going there now because my bestest friend of my whole life, Tony Sheheen, played his violin there on Friday and Saturdays for 22 years and it is so hard to be there after his sudden passing in 2002. Just can't do it.

Please tell Nini Ventura I send my love.

If you'd like a really delicious dish try their filet mignon with artichoke stuffing. That's my favorite dish there. The spinach salad is excellent also. You can't go wrong with anything you order. They are the best.
You and Betty go and enjoy. You both deserve it.

[Ralph]

Well we will if I ever get there. Today is day 13 and I still have the rest of this coming week to babysit down there.

Kill me now.

Please.

How about using your vaast computer experience to put up a web cam in the kitchen at DD so frank and I can stay abreast of events and gather info to bust you balls with! heheehee. ;D

[bobbbiez]

Ok Ralph, no problem , but give me your gift certificate so I can take Betty to Ventura's in your absence. ;D

[Ralph]

That's quite alright Bobbbiez, I'll live to eat there again!!!

Sorry Clipper, I already have 12 cameras in this place watching me, one more might make my paranoid.

My home away from home...........

[Clipper]

Hmmm. No wonder you are tired. I don't see a chair or a stool anywhere in sight. 12 cameras??? Damn, I can see video monitoring, but that is ridiculous. I figure 6 of them are for security of you and the other employees, and the other 6 are put there by Betty to make sure you behave! hahahah! ;D

Both your boss, and Betty know that you know everyone in the damn city, and that if you get tangled up talking, the donuts will never get made. Do they have a speaker attached, so the boss can holler at ya to get back to work if you are goofing off, talking to someone from Clipper's corner???

The cameras also will come in handy in case ya fall down from total exhaustion. The boss will see ya fall down, will telephone the store, and someone will go in the kitchen and prop ya back up and put you back to work. ;D

12 cameras at Dunkin' Donuts? I don't think my BANK has that many cameras!

[bobbbiez]

but Kim, your bank ain't in W.Utica.

[kim]

Actually, my bank is a pain in the ass, and I hate going there. Not only is it a half hour (or more depending on traffic) away, but to get in you have to ring a bell and they buzz you in. Then they have signs all over the place demanding that you take off hats and sunglasses, and they also have signs reminding you that concealed weapons are not permitted. ACK! Good rates (relatively speaking), though, so we stay with them.

Isn't it sad that this world has come to this.

Much sadder for us old farts that remember more of the good at one time to compare today with. Very, very sad.

Always wanted a better world for my kids and grandkids and it's just the opposite. Hurts my heart to see what they all have to deal with and much longer now then for me.

[Ralph]

Hehehe.......We have 18 cameras in the one on Oneida Square.

And they're not there to watch just the customers.
