I just want to eat at Mama's restaurant, it has alot of goodies on the menu, I want some salad from JP, and pickels and deviled eggs from Cookie and Jfain and I'll finish off with Kevin's desert. I do not want to be a party-pooper but I do not want a restaurant---too much work, and I am tired!:o

LOL! But you're right - owning a restaurant is so close to selling your soul to the devil! You don't have a life!
