People think the ten commandments were the first rules to live by from God. I think the first was "Don't take mind-altering drugs."

You know, what the main shortcoming of chat rooms is one cannot actually hear the sound of the words. I know I would love to hear you guys talk. I know you can make sound files and attach them but my pc is old and so am I so it would get all botched up I think.

So I wonder if I had taken my lazy butt inside would I have paid that tax, even though I would have been "taking it out?"

Maybe its for when they take you out after you've been messing under Ronald Mcdonalds statue eh? :rolleyes:

I've never even heard of that.

Maybe it's local, or regional.

I bet you would have paid the tax whether inside or out.

I know they dont take it here. I go there a lot and get the same things. Sometimes we eat it there and sometimes go thru drive thru. Its all the same. They do print it on the ticket whether it is for Dine In or Take Out so they know how to pack it. But the sales tax is just the same.

Excellent, the river was beautiful this morning, so cold!

There is a larger Grocery store here, Wegmans, which has an eat in area, for some of the hot foods and subs you can buy there. Anyway, there is a sign at the cashier there that you need to tell them if you are eating in or taking out. If you are eating in, they have to charge you sales tax..if take out, no tax!!

Birmingham city centre has been closed for a controlled detonation of a suspect package. It has brought chaos to the roads, but luckily, I left the city just ahead of it.

Turned out it was the usual brain donors and a "Deliberate hoax" according to the Police. It must be happening all over the country in the wake of these letter bombs. I always used to think that I couldn't have a lower opinion of bomb-hoaxers, but considering the current climate with regards to security, I find that I can.

Yeah and he's almost 70 years old although he doesn't look it. Here's a couple of pix I took of him. The one shows the superb Mick Ralphs (MTH and Bad Company) on guitar

It's probably just this backasswards town I'm stuck in :wah:

I have noticed that MCDonalds is a bit different in different twons and states. In New Mexico you can get a chili pepper with your meal. IN Eureka Springs AR they have breakfast buffet. But no, they dont charge tax here for the privilege of eating in there building. But they have no loitering signs some places.

Good answer. I guy I knew from Mexico laughed at some of our words we use here like Chic Chis mexican restaurant. That means titties in Mexican and burritos are small donkeys.
