Just say NO to the King and I Thai!
I found the perfect place for you if you are looking for a combination of bad food and horrible service. I was so excited to go to the King and I for the first time because I heard such great things. I figured free valet parking in the freezing cold and all the talk about it would make it a great dining experience, right???
I was very wrong. We ordered the calamari and the cream cheese rolls. The calamari was just ok and I will say that the cream cheese rolls were good. I still would have preferred them to be a little crunchier like the texture of cream cheese puffs.
For dinner we decided to share the cabbage wraps (listed as a salad item on the menu) and the Shrimp Pad Thai. The shrimp was really good and the pad Thai was again just ok! I had high hopes for the cabbage wraps but I was disappointed. I realized something was wrong at the first bite.
The meat tasted like it had gone bad! I didn't say anything and stopped eating them and then my friend said the same thing I was thinking. We told our server and she took the cabbage wraps away and asked us if we wanted something else. We decided to just get another appetizer, the oyster mushrooms. They mushrooms came out and by this point, my stomach was seriously upset from the cabbage wrap meat. I didn't want any of the mushrooms. My friend took a bite and chipped her tooth on something she said was hard like a rock. We told the server again and she was irritated and really bitchy by this point.
I'm not a rude person to any servers. I rarely have food that needs to be taken back so when she started giving us an attitude I was annoyed. She said she would take the wraps and the mushrooms off our bill but I thought that was unacceptable!! I've never been to a place that had both bad food and even worse service. I went to Tum Rup Thai once and they accidentally made my soup too spicy and my mouth was on fire and they comp my entire bill!! I continued to go back because of it!!
Then we asked for the manager and this 70's looking unprofessional and unkempt man came out. He did not apologize and told us there was nothing wrong with his food. I told him we thought the meat was bad and there were rocks in our mushrooms and he didn't care. He obviously didn't care about keeping us as customers or what we might have to tell our friends! The server came back and I asked whom the owner was and she told us it was the man who came out. We were totally shocked!!
The King and I equal bad food and horrible service. It's worth not having valet parking to go to Khin Do or Tum Rup Thai!! I'd walk a few blocks in this freezing weather to avoid ever going back to the King and I!!!
On a side note, my friend and I were both vomiting within 20 minutes of leaving.

Get Over It!!
I know that we have all been through tough times! Life is not easy. I think there will always be a constant struggle for happiness. It is a constant fight to live freely and to be able to hold on to your dreams. With all that said, why do some people ALWAYS seem to have a hard time???
I have a friend of mine who has basically been a wreck since the day I met her. I remember when I met her I thought she was a really cool person and I could relate a little bit to her struggle. I met her right after my divorce and I found out that we both had ex-husbands named Aaron and we both pretty much divorced for the same reason. I was happy when I got divorced. Sure, it was tough at times but I was really really happy that I made that choice. This friend of mine didn’t feel the same way. She was a victim from the start but I understood that we all deal with things differently.
When I met her she was getting evicted from her place, got fired from her job, never had any money, and proclaimed that she “hated her life”. I thought it was just a rough patch. Then a year or so later she is dating this guy. He only wants to be her boyfriend in “private” and then ends up cheating on her. She freaks out and breaks into his house and trashes the place. She gets arrested and ends up some breaking and entering charge. After that she moved on from him and seemed to get her life back on track. Then she gets a DUI and no one will bail her out even her parents so she hates the world again. She said she had to plea just to get out of jail and now she can’t drive for 2 years or some crazy shit. She gets fired again from her other job and blah blah blah. It gets worse and honestly I’m tired of even writing about it at this point.
My whole point is why do some people seem to have the ability to overcome yet others would rather suffocate in their own crap!! My life has not been perfect. I have had my struggles. I feel like I’ve seen some very dark days but damn this is my life and I want to enjoy it. I want to look at the bright side because other wise I should just shrivel up and die!!
So last night amongst this “friends” latest drama, she sends me a text message saying “my life sucks”. I didn’t respond. I get another one saying, “I want to die”. I didn’t respond. Then I get another one saying, “I hate my life” and finally I responded with “I don’t blame you. I hate your life too”…

Are Miracles and Mistakes the same thing?
In a world filled so much hate and destruction it is often times hard to see miracles in “things”, yet we as humans seemed to be trained to turn a negative into a positive making so called miracles come true.
How does one come to the conclusion that something was in fact a miracle verses an accident? Since when did we decide that we are the ultimate higher power and because we want to make a bad situation good, we call it a miracle?
Why is it so hard to accept the truth of accidents and mistakes? Maybe it is just a self defense mechanism. No, I’m not a pessimist but there does come a time in a person’s life that seeking ultimate truth should be more important than painting a pretty picture.
What is your miracle?? What is your mistake??

Shame on you Sen John Kerry!
I am speechless after reading that Sen. John Kerry is endorsing Obama. I just can't believe that he would slap his own former running mate John Edwards in the face like that! I am so appalled by Kerry's wishy washy-ness that it is no wonder he didn't freaking win in the 04' elections. I can't believe that I once cried that he was not elected because now I feel like he deserved it! Talk about the ultimate flake!!
I'm not upset that he didn't nominate Hillary even though it was President Bill Clinton's support that landed him the democratic nomination. I am repulsed by Kerry's own lack of self-dignity. Even Kerry does not stand by his former running mate. What kind of message is that sending?
In my opinion the fact that Mr. Wishy Washy is endorsing Obama, is all the more reason for me to NOT ENDORSE HIM!!

Hillary
Last night Hill surprised us all and proved that experience along with a proven track record do count!! I get so excited when I see Bill campaigning with her because in a way I feel like we will get two in one when she's elected.
I would love nothing more than for my daughter to not be fazed by a woman president. She will not even know about limitiations due to being a female.
