jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Um...actually, I was going to go to the dentist today, the highlight of my day, but it got rescheduled. And just call me JB. What about you? You doing anything exciting? Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 As entertaining as your random name changes are, I miss your JB names. I'm on Neopets daily. All day when I'm at work (lots of downtime) and hit and miss when I'm off work. If I'm home, I'm generally on and playing games for at least part of the day. Today is my last day of work for the week :D So once 1 pm hits, I'm done with work until Sunday. After I get off work, I'll be stopping by to see my mom and run errands with her. Quote

jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Do you have any braces or Invasalign or that sort of thing, or is it just a regular appointment? Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Nope, I had braces a long time ago. One of my fillings chipped and I had to get it repaired. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Ouch, that sounds painful. Though my least favorite part about the dentist has never been pain, it's been the sounds. I wish I had an iPod or something to listen to the entire time. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 It wasn't too bad although my mouth is super numb still and I just want to eat lol. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Time for a milkshake! :D Milkshakes make everything better. (And using a straw with a numb mouth is fun) Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Can you at least have water? Or a mush of some sort? Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I've been drinking 7 up for now until the numbness wears off. I had to use a straw though because I couldn't seem to drink it without one lol. My family and I are going to Old Country Buffet tonight for dinner so I'll be eating a lot then to make up for lunch. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I love Old Country Buffets! They're probably my favorite restaurant when I get to go to the states and find one. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 They are pretty delicious! I don't know how long it's been since you've been to one but I really like their new "drink bar." They added icees/slushies and a couple of flavors of cappuccino and hot chocolate. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I haven't been to one of those buffets in ages. When I was younger, we went a lot because a friend of my mom's loved them. But I haven't been in probably 9-ish years, the night before my sister got married. A drink bar sounds awesome. I'll have to see if we have one here. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 A drink bar? That does sounds wicked! I wish there were Old Country Buffets around here. We used to have buffets called "Ponderosa", but they all closed down. :( Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 :O I remember Ponderosa! I thought I was crazy, because it's been gone so long. We had one here. I loved their shell pasta. We also had a place called the King's Table, which pretty much no one here remembers anymore. We do have one of the Country Buffets here too. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 We have a couple of ponderosa's out here as well but I'm not really a fan. There isn't much their I like, I tend to be a really picky eater. We have a couple of Golden Corals too but I've only been there once. I'm considering going back because I keep seeing commercials for a chocolate fountain and I want to check that out lol. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I didn't like the Ponderosas in the US as much, simply because I was used to the Canadian Ponderosa and the change just didn't work for me. Edit: I really like Golden Corrals too! Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I didn't even know Ponderosa was still around. I guess I just assumed it went out of business or something. We have 2 or 3 Golden Corrals here. I very rarely go to buffets, and when I do, it's generally a Chinese buffet. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I don't really eat chinese food but for some reason I really like chinese buffets. They always have really good American food. And I do like chinese rice. There's a sushi buffet near my school as well but I've never had sushi so I don't know if I would like it. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 @Spritzie: None are still around where I am, and I don't think any at all are. I like Chinese Buffets, just as long as it's Americanized Chinese Food. I have a friend who's part Chinese, and I think she takes great joy in describing the traditional Chinese food to me in great detail. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 There are definitely still Ponderosa's. There are 2 pretty close to my house and I believe the one near my cousins house in NY is still open. It's pretty much the only restaurant they have in their small town lol. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Really? Remind me to go there sometime...I was under t he impression they had all closed. It's still a buffet, right? Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Yep it is. I don't know how many there still are in the world but I do know of those 3 lol. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 It's disappointing how there are none here. They were my absolute favorite restaurant. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 :( I'm sorry. Where do you live if you don't mind me asking? Quote
