    Yes they do have a kid's menu, smaller portions of adult meals, but less of a variety. It does have spaghetti and meatballs.

    I believe there were about 6 items on the kid's menu, each $4.95

    Finally found a good place to eat

    It's kind of stupid if you ask me, they may get some customers by alowing smoking, but they'll lose alot more by not allowing kids.. You know how many youth teams had their banquets there? Every time I was in there the place was full of kids.. Oh well..

     

    Maybe there used to be a lot of kids, but most likey the amount of youth groups eating there has declined. I use to eat there quite frequently after church on Sunday, but now I haven't been there in years. The Capalbo's in Powder Springs closed a while back, and I believe this one figured they had nothing to lose by converting into a bar classification to attract certain customers. The sacrifice is not allowing families to come there to eat together, which will deter certain customers. I wish them well, and maybe the hot wings will return to the buffet. :)

     

    Anyway, I don't understand why people want to smoke and eat at the same time. If you have to hold your cigarette in your left hand while your fork is in your right hand, to me that's a sign of a serious addiction that needs attention. If you just like to have a smoke after you eat, well then, what's the big fuss about waiting until you walk outside?

    I went with a friend and his son to Dat's Amoré this evening. It was 8:20 by the time we got there, and it appeared that we were the only diners inside. I knew that they would be closing at 9, so I hoped that we would be able to get our food quickly and be on our way, and not have to keep them their long after closing. Service was a little slow, and we ended up being there until about 9:40. But all of the staff was very friendly and did not give the impression of being in a hurry to leave.

     

    I liked the atmosphere, with the water wheel outside, the fountain inside, and the stone walls and dark wood walls and ceiling. The paintings hanging on the wall each have a tag with the name of the artist and a price, so I'm assuming you can buy them if you so desire. Apparently this is a fancier dining establishment, with workers coming to the table to fill our water glasses (I'm sure there is a fancy term for this position, but I don't know it.) I think in all, 4 different staff members came by our table, and the were all very cordial.

     

    I ordered the Chicken Parmesan with penna pasta, which also came with a salad. The chicken was pretty good, but after having eaten two slices of the garlic bread, half the salad, and half of the chicken and pasta, I was full. My friend ordered the Chicken Marsala, but didn't like it, saying the chicken was really bland. He gave me a piece of the chicken, and I thought it tasted funny as well.

     

    The only thing I did not like is that the utensils and small bread plate were grimy. I had to use my napkin to wipe of the plate and utensils. They need to wipe off all the utensils and plates after washing before putting them on the tables.

     

    I'd like to go back, and can recommend the place, however I recommend going during normal eating hours around lunch or dinner.

    "I Wish You Could Know"

    "I Wish You Could Know"

    Emergency Personnel Way of Life

     

     

    I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children at 3 AM, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burns.

     

    I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 6 in the morning as I check her husband of 40 years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hoping to bring him back, knowing intuitively it is too late. But wanting his wife and family to know everything possible was done to try to save his life.

     

    I wish you knew the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout gear, the sound of flames crackling, the eeriness of being able to see absolutely nothing in dense smoke-sensations that I've become too familiar with.

     

    I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a building fire "Is this a false alarm or a working fire? How is the building constructed? What hazards await me? Is anyone trapped?" Or to call, "What is wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life-threatening? Is the caller really in distress or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?"

     

    I wish you could be in the emergency room as a doctor pronounces dead the beautiful five-year old girl that I have been trying to save During the Past 25 minutes. Who will never go on her first date or say the words, "I love you Mommy" again.

     

    I wish you could know the frustration I feel in the cab of the engine, squad, or my personal vehicle, the driver with his foot pressing down hard on the pedal, my arm tugging again and again at the air horn chain, as you fail to yield the right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. When you need us however, your first comment upon our arrival will be, "It took you forever to get here!"

     

    I wish you could know my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teenage years from the remains of her automobile. "What if this was my daughter, sister, my girlfriend or a friend? What were her parent's reactions going to be when they opened the door to find a police officer with hat in hand?"

     

    I wish you could know how it feels to walk in the back door and greet my parents and family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come back from the last call.

     

    I wish you could know how it feels dispatching officers, firefighters and EMT's out and when we call for them and our heart drops because no one answers back or to here a bone chilling 911 call of a child or wife needing assistance.

     

    I wish you could feel the hurt as people verbally, and sometimes physically, abuse us or belittle what I do, or as they express their attitudes of "It will never happen to me".

     

    I wish you could realize the physical, emotional and mental drain or missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activities, in addition to all the tragedy my eyes have seen.

     

    I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfaction of helping save a life or preserving someone's property, or being able to be there in time of crisis, or creating order from total chaos.

     

    I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little boy tugging at your arm and asking, "Is Mommy okay?" Not even being able to look in his eyes without tears from your own and not knowing what to say. Or to have to hold back a long time friend who watches his buddy having CPR done on him as they take him away in the Medic Unit. You know all along he did not have his seat belt on. A sensation that I have become too familiar with.

     

    Unless you have lived with this kind of life, you will never truly understand or appreciate who I am, we are, or what our job really means to us...I wish you could though.

     

     

    KEEP SENDING THIS ON. APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT THE LOCAL EMS WORKERS, 911 DISPATCHERS, FIREFIGHTERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND DOCTORS IN YOUR AREA. ONE DAY THEY'LL PROBABLY BE SAVING YOUR PROPERTY OR YOUR OWN LIFE. WHEN YOU SEE THEM COMING WITH LIGHTS FLASHING, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY, THEN PRAY FOR THEM!

    2-way mirror

    Now the next time I'm in a grocery store or somewhere and see a mirrored office window, I'll do the fingernail test just to check for the gap on a double mirror. Then they'll probably be watching me with the security cameras until I have left the parking lot...

    how  can i get that into my signature line?

    Hello BlueFroggy,

     

    I'm assuming that you are referring to the Josh Dingler banner. Just change the two braces befure "url" and "img" back to brackets, and add this to your signature:

    Hey Chris,

    I had basic liability on the Cherokee, so it was a total loss. Actually I'm still paying on the personal loan I had taken out to buy the Jeep. My homeowner's insurance paid for the repairs to the house.

     

    I remember seeing your grandfather's house after it had burned down (I used to deliver your mail a 4-5 years ago as the substitute carrier,) I just didn't know that he died in the fire. I was sad to hear about that when I read it the other day. BTW, the firemen said they've never had a burning vehicle explode, that only happens in the movies.

    Triva Night at Buffalo Wild Wings

    Good!! Gad to meet new pcom members. Have you and your other teammates ever beaten us?

    No, a few of us found out about the trivia three weeks ago when we went just to eat, so this would be our third game. A few more came out last week, and came up with the name "Dega Dames", which took 3rd place. Turns out some of my teammates may show up tonight after all; depending on how many come out, maybe I'll try to talk them into playing with the P.com team.
