Boston Pizza Sucks

So we just went out for what should have been a lovely dinner out - we went to what used to be our favourite Boston Pizza, in Victoria, BC -- we used to loove their Boston Lasagna, but I say used to, because we will NEVER go back to that Boston Pizza, and it's hard to say if we'll bother going back to ANY Boston Pizza.

I just left a scathing survey, which they spell 'servey', on their bill - idiots. Boston Pizza is going to need a dictionary, and MUCH better managerial staff. The female manager was soo annoying, first she must have sent our server, who was nice enough, but not well-informed, but this idiot biitch of a young female manager must have sent her lackey out to give us the first row - a 'row' is Scottish for getting in trouble... no one wants or needs to get a row at the dinner table - what, is this Thanksgiving??  Think you can have a confrontation with someone in the middle of dinner? No. You can't. If you've made an error, accept it and move on. Don't lose customers over a $4.95 item - dough, with some salt and olive oil - ooooh, I hope that was worth it to these mindless biiitches (really, mostly the manager, I kind of felt sorry for the watress, doing the bidding of this idiotic old biddy.... ).

Now why is it that so many women get a little bit of power, it goes straight to their heads? Don't do this, ladies. We have to appear better than that, we can't go to the lowest common denominator, act out on these power trip ways. No. You're makin' us look bad. Like women don't belong in a position of power, because they will immediately abuse that power. What on earth??!! Makes me so mad. I am a feminist, a humanist, equal rights for every body, every single body, but when I see this kind of ugly behaviour, it makes me sick - physically ill. We were so upset, we couldn't even finish our meal - the row came right in the middle of the dinner. Now who does that? A control freak, that's who. How can I ruin your dinner you're going to pay for? Hmmm... I know, I'll come and hover over your meal for waaaay too long, annoy the hell out of you, then charge you for the pleasure of dining out at Boston Pizza.

Never Again. Good-Bye, stooopid Boston Pizza. I'll make my own lasagna. You bastards.

Signs You Should Skip a Meeting...lol!

So I was all set to go to this fancy meeting, tomorrow night, today I get an email reminder of said meeting, and it says, remember to wear all white!  What the helll??  Wear all white?? Why, is it a cult, and we're all ascending to heaven, tomorrow?  Is it P. Diddy's White Party?? Yeah, I don't think so... how crazy is that? Then it took me ages to figure out how to remove my Yes to the RSVP - took me soo long to finally find a No button - so crazy!

And I was really looking forward to the meeting, right up until the semi-cult invitation - this is a group I've just recently heard about, supposed to be for entrepreneurs, I thought, oh, maybe I'd hear something interesting, maybe I'll meet like-minded people, make some good business contacts, but what was with this whole 'wear white' thing??  What on earth??  What kind of crazy is that??  Were we gonna have a surprise group wedding??  Surprise!!  You're wedded in a cult... creepy... and it was pretty funny I was in such a panic to get out of it... the first thing I read about it was all about talking about business with a beer on the side - that sounded good - beer AND business, now that's a good business meeting... but Wear White?? That's horrifying... and super-weird... will add that to the list of 'Things I will skip'! lol!

Too bad, I really did want to find some new people to chat about business, with, see what kind of opportunities are out there, what other people are finding successful - but, now that I think of it, maybe the people at the super-weird 'wear white to the meeting' aren't exactly fully successful, just yet?? hahaha!  Perhaps not?? hahaha!  Okay, that makes me laugh... whatevs, I'm gonna have to go back to the whole 'What's for you'll no go by you'... I've made that more 'people friendly', it's really, "Wha's for ye'll no go by ye"... little more old fashioned, and Scottish, but it sure gets me through some tricky times.... I'm sure I'll find a good business that actually brings in a solid income without a huge overhead... the dream of every business owner! lol!

If you're thinking about starting your own business, let me know all about it! I love to hear a great story! Good Luck! Ailsa : )

This Tiny Cookie Has 16 Grams of Fat - but it's soo little! And only a little bit tasty! lol!

Look at this cookie. Tempting, right? Looks tasty. Looks sooo innocent. But is it? No. It's neither tasty nor innocent, but do I love them, accidentally? Yes. They are addictive little things, but I canny buy these, any more! hahahaha!  I gots to stop, and here's why - I bought these a while back - I had been eyeing them up in the bakery aisle at Safeway for a few weeks - it's the icing sugar, they remind me of these delicious cookies the mother of one of my friends used to make at Christmas Time, but these are NOT the same cookies. These little addictive cookies are called Pistachio Mamoul. You had me at Pistachio! hahahaha!  A cookie with pistachios in it, AND it's covered in icing sugar, AND it looks like it's shortbread??  I'm in.

So I'm casually, and slowly, Thank God, making my way through these lovely little virtually tasteless cookies (it's a very light flavour, and clearly I have developed a taste for! lol!), when, the other night, I thought, My God, it's entirely possible these little cookies have 5, count em', FIVE grams of fat in them... then I quickly dismissed my thought as ridiculous, went about my tiny task of making a nice cup of tea to go with my little Pistachio Mamoul cookie....

So jump to the NEXT night, I'm in the kitchen, still thinking, it's entirely possible these teensy tiny cookies could have a lot of fat in them, and the nutritional information is right on the bottom of the package, so it's not like it's not right there in front of me, I had simply chosen not to look at it, and spoil all my teensy tiny flavour fun! lol!  I wanted to live in the dark. Happy to live without knowledge that this little cookie might be bad for me. No. I didn't want to know. Like a very bad boyfriend, sometimes, you don't want to know the details, you just want to enjoy the boyfriend.... been there? Yeah, me, too! hahahahaha! Boyfriends and cookies, my very slight downfall! hahahaahaha! (Okay, I think that's jus' for me, really makes me laugh, while I'm sitting here, writing... passing the time before I eat another COOKIE!! hahaha!)

So there it is, the guilty culprit, the tiniest, almost most flavourless, cookie on the planet, and I want them very badly. See how tiny it is? I put it on my BUSINESS CARD, just so you could see the actual size.

That teensy tiny cookie has 16 grams of fat. SIXTEEN GRAMS of FAT. What the helll???  I just about bloody dropped. And then you can't take information back out of your head, much as I tried, because I have big plans to finish off the rest of these little cookies.... but I have GOT to never buy them, again ... said the girl with no resistance! hahahaha!

16 grams of fat!!  Omg, that's almost half of my normal 'goal' of 37 grams of fat per day - I am NOT against fat, don't get me wrong, here - I happen to LOVE fat! hahaha!  And I don't like fat-free products, because they just fool your body, which can't be fooled - it's just your mind that can be fooled, not your body... your body always knows what's goin' on....but your mind, well, as I know from personal experience, and a LOT of personal experience, a mind is a very easy thing to waste......no, that's a different campaign... a mind is very easy thing to fool...you can easily pull one over on your very own mind! hahahaah!  Think how many times a day you try to pull the wool over your own mind!  Hilarious! Is so funny! Tryin' to trick ourselves, all the time! Humans - we be crazy! hahahaha!

Okay, I'm gonna go have that cookie!  It's sitting right beside me, patiently waiting for me to enjoy it, a little... seriously, there's virtually no flavour! So funny, and I want it so badly.... oh, and it really is filled with pastachios, that's most likely where the fat comes from (says my mind, who is sooo easily fooled), so is maybe a healthy cookie?? hahahaahah!! Okay, hope you are enjoying your delusional day as much as I'm enjoying MY delusional day! lol!  Happy Cookie Eating! Ailsa xoxo!

And now for some Great Deals for you!! lol!
