Hi, I'm new here and thought I'd go ahead and writr a lil... i had the gastric bypass surgery on sept 12 2007.. I've lost 95 pounds so far.. I had a problem with drinking for awile, but I am trying to keep that under control... I quit april 23rd and on may 7th I had a couple drinks sand felt like crap the next day ... I havent drank alcohol since that night... Pretty good for me.. I used to go out to the bars 3 times a week at least and drank ALOT.. I'm a binge drinker...  My husband says if I continue to go out and drink the way I do, then he will leave me.... But that is not my incentive at all... I am wondering however, what will drinking do to my pouch... Maybe it will scare me to stay away even longer...

My boyfriend and I are moving out of our super-duper cramped 2 bedroom apt into a nice huge lots-of-house 3 bedroom house.  :D  I'm lazy and refuse to move my crap by myself again (I've done that way too many times the past few years), so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a mover?  Good experiences?  Bad?  People to stay the hell away from?

Thanks much!!

We dined at Parish Sunday night — I’ll be reviewing it soon — and the place was packed. It’s a beautiful space. There’s just one problem: If you’re handicapped, you’re not going to eat there — at least not in the main dining room.

There is no way into that part of the restaurant that doesn’t require using stairs. My bad knees make it very difficult for me to walk down stairs, while I have little trouble walking up them. I got in, but, when I went to use the restroom, I discovered that it’s down a steep flight of stairs.

A server told me that an alternative to the stairs was going to the back of the restaurant by way of an inclined sidewalk and entering through the deli section called Parish Market. That’s a lot of trouble to use a bathroom.

As far as access to the main dining room if you’re in a wheelchair, forget it. Another server told me that people who cannot negotiate the stairs have to eat downstairs in the market, which, granted, is a convivial, attractive space itself. But…I’m just saying.

I looked up the American Disabilities Act and found that Parish does qualify for exemption, but it’s disappointing the restaurant didn’t find a way to better accommodate handicapped folks.

Since I’m complaining, here’s another one: valet parking. Last night, we ate in a restaurant with a very large, very sparse parking lot. Nonetheless, we were expected to use the valet. I refused and the valet rolled his eyes so hard I could hear them clattering. But why should I turn the keys to my car over to a valet and tip him $5, if there’s a parking space 10 feet away?
