The Common Word for Fear

[arnofarrell]

I kind of agree with Blue. I used to live in the suburbs then I moved to a rural farm in another state and I hate leaving home. I have family in Minnesota and so does my wife and they want us to come up there all the time. I don't like to because I have animals to take care of, atleast that is what I tell my self. The few times I have left for more than a couple days one of my dogs was hit by a car, another hurt himself and now has a problem with his back legs and chicken massacures have happened 3 seperate times. I do not like to leave because I feel like bad things happen when I leave and my wife agrees to a point.

Spart,

Yep.....that's the hotel all right.....I was in that piano lounge on one of my trips....went to the restroom and had a hard time finding my table....lol...

There were a couple of ladies fresh from University from South Carolina if I recall setting at the next table....they were checking over the menu and being rather hesitant....I figured they were probably on a tight budget....

In any event I told them I had a bit of time to kill and if they didn't mind my company I'd pick up the tab.

They each had a glass of house wine and a piece of cheesecake.....including the coffees they'd had before the bill was $69.00 before tip......not the type of place to hang out unless you're on an expense account....lol.

Ahh, the great old Hilton Marquis in the theater section, right next to where MTV had a studio too I still go there twice a year, and to let you know, they got rid of that turning bar with piano on the 6th floor

Those elevators are a trip too, what a rush

You guys lived high on the hog. The last time I was in NY I stayed at the Shelburn Hotel. That was in '62 and they had an automat for food service. But we splurged and went to Melvins Steak House and got the $1.99 stake special. lol Frank

Lucky for you they didn't order sushi, you'd need a 2nd mortgage I would always attend the FCC dinner (Foreign Commerce Club) every year, attendance was always 1000 + until 2008 and you should have seen my bar tab Then again, I never took advantage of my expense account, and a VP, or General Sales Manager would always ask me to open a tab anyway.

One time at my regular bar, we had a sales meeting bite to eat and drink night. Ran up a $400 bill in under 2 hours and Manager said, if I was going to stay, just leave the tab open for myself. I did party that night

Frankn, yes sir, those were the days my friend, we thought they never end

But they did for me in 2008
