Julie, there is no point in making your mother unhappy with your
suffering. Why don't you give Angela some money and let her take
your mother to lunch. You could say that you have a stomach upset and
don't feel well. You've said that you don't really like to eat out
anyway so it would be a win/win for everyone.

NY bars are required to serve food, not necessarily sell food...
bars/taverns will have bowls of snack foods on the bar and tables,
typically chips, pretzels, and the like, always salty snacks to
encourage drinking, they'd also sell pickled eggs and ring bologna.
Used to be bars offered an evening meal to patrons for free, maybe
some still, (mostly fresh caught seafood), but this was back when NY's
drinking age was 18 and draught beer cost 5¢ for a 12 oz glass... and
every fourth drink was on the house... could get plastered for a buck.

I used to like comedy shows, like Jackie Gleason, Red Skelton, Jack
Benny, even Milton Berle... but I don't find any of today's so-called
comics funny/entertaining on any level. I used to enjoy TV programs
but no more, not for a long time now... aside from Nat Geo and some
News shows the best TV nowadays is Judge Judy.

I have to wonder how one equates eating out/spending time with her
mother on her birthday with suffering. She makes it sound like a chore.
She's determined not to find anything on the menu she can (or will)
eat. Just so everyone will pay attention to her objecting to the food.
Sheesh.

That wouldn't be far from the truth. She can't seem to enjoy food
unless it comes from cans, a Tex-Mex place or a taqueria.

I do hope her mother appreciates her grandaughter wanting to spend the
birthday with her grandma. She's not sounding picky about grandma's
choice of restaurant.

What a bizarre thing to like.

She's a flinty kvetcher, and her defendants are generally kooks.

I'd rather watch dogs chasing their tails.

You'd probably not spoil the day with your mother by sitting
there not eating. Just a hunch.

When I lived in Los Angeles during the '60s many taverns served
in-shell peanuts and expected the shells would be tossed on the floor.
I think the peanut shells on the floor evolved from people slipping on
the sawdust that used to be on drinking establishment floors, made it
easier to clean up spills and vomit. Butcher shops used to keep
sawdust on their floors to absorb blood. A lot of businesses still
use sweeping compound, sports arenas too. Sweeping compounds are very
absorbant plus they easily indicate the areas that have already been
swept. Food establishments use peanut shells like how many factories
and gas stations use cat litter.

The Big Bang Theory and Mom are two of the best comedy shows on TV
now. A non-comedy show I like is Elementary (CBS). You have to pay
attention to it; no diddling on the computer with one ear on the TV,
or you'll miss something major and have to hit replay.

I think they do have a bar as well but this is also done in the restaurant.

If you haven't checked out the Academy award nominees, do it because
they're very good. The only one I didn't like was the winner. Hated
it. I left the room and did something else for the duration of that
one, which wouldn't have been an option if I'd been in a movie
theater.

That was my fear. First time we were in, there were so many shells, I
couldn't avoid them. Now it looks like they sweep frequently.

I just love that show.

Amuses me to think 'Sherlock' was once married to Angelina Jolie,
for some reason.

Lettuce? They do have salad but it has carrots in it. Won't likely be at
my normal mealtime anyway. This is one reason why we stopped taking her to
dinner. She likes to space her meals two hours apart. I can't do that.

Why would she be unhappy? She doesn't care if I like it or not. And it's a
family thing. Other family members are not going to the meal part. It's no
big deal. And my mom is quite used to my not eating.

Hardly. Telling my that my stomach is upset when it isn't? Getting her
upset for nothing? I think not.

You people haven't got a clue of our family dynamics. Just shut up. Nobody
will pay any mind at all if I only order a drink. They know I dislike the
place.

Actually there was a busboy sweeping but I also don't want to eat where
someone is constantly sweeping near my table.

You've been giving us clues for years. It's a good thing I'm not your
mother. I wouldn't have invited you.

Somehow I suspect Julie will find some way to spoil the day just by
being present, whether she eats or not. The sad thing is one day her
mother will be gone, only then is when Julie might wish she had been a
kinder daughter. What Julie doesn't comprehend is that Mother's Day
is about her mom, not about Julie and all her cranks.
I no longer celebrate Mother's day because my mother is long gone, but
I have the memories of how just the two of us celebrated, I'd take her
to a movie of her choice and then to her favorate Chinese restaurant,
and each year I'd make her some object, like a copper brooch or a
letter opener, and I'd buy her a silver Revlon lipstick case to add to
her collection. I made these when I was 7-8 years old:

I merely posed a question.

We here in Iowa have a Texas Roadhouse franchise that has buckets of peanuts,
But they provide an empty bucket for the shells...none on the floor.

Relationships are many times tough - you have no place to pick on her
for that.

That's very thoughtful and loving of you.

But you didn't need to savage Julie to share that.

Ours does that also, but invariably the floors are covered with shells too.

Not to mention her mother's birthday on Monday, too. She doesn't like
the restaurant. Fine, I probably wouldn't either. But it's not about
HER. Notice there's no mention of her own daughter doing anything for her.

Cute.

My mom and I used to buy each other refillable loose powder compacts.
