All this talk about pho got me curious. Found a pho place with good reviews so I'm checking it out.
 
So I got a shrimp and rice noodle bowl and some Vietnamese egg rolls. Being an uncultured redneck from rural Oregon, I didn't have much idea what I was getting myself into other than what I'd seen here and on the travel channel. I didn't hate it, some of it was really good, but I don't think it's my thing. Problem with trying something for the first time is you don't know how what you're getting stacks up against how it's supposed to be.

Nevermind. The whole thing didn't warrant the effort it took to write the post in the first place.

So, I am with you Hoss. If I am going somewhere that is known for their pho I'll order it, but it isn't one of those things I'm going out of my way to get.

If I am at the vietnamese place in town I typically will order the Bo Luc Beef instead of a pho too. I guess I'm weird.


In other news, I'm off work for the next 3-5 days with bronchitis and bilateral pneumonia, and a touch of sinusitis.

Show off...

(actually "get well soon")
 
Yeah, I often get a rice plate (com) or noodle bowl (bun) when I get Vietnamese. Sometimes nothing but pho will do though, although I prefer a good ramen bowl to pho any day.

Hope you feel better soon, cbear.

That's, like, three health problems in one. I can never do more than one.....if I get sick at all. Congratulations.....or feel better. Whatever applies.
 

I had an email exchange with the president of a company that I thought was rather unprofessional but wasn't totally sure how to take it since a lot can get lost with just text. But I decided after I posted the quoted convo that I was probably overthinking it. That and I go out of my way to avoid that kind of drama and by posting the emails for everyone to see I was creating it.

WHAT?!?! You are exercising restraint and thoughtfulness, tempered with self-reflection? What on earth is this world coming to?

Ramen on the other hand, I will absolutely destroy a bowl of! Shoot I have been known to cheat and get the packaged stuff and use that as a base to make my own. It's so much better but the noodles are hard to find here.

Depending on the company, some of them that is their schtick. So mulling over it won't matter. If you need someone to bounce stuff off of let me know. I'll be around for a few days with nothing to do.

Nah, this wasn't that. It was the president being a little too casual with his replies. I made a suggestion about their product line and he said "not gonna happen" and then explained why they did it the way they did. I said "too bad. Guess I won't be buying one then." which I guess could have come off kinda prickish but even so that doesn't really require a response. He emails me back "you need to buy what you need to buy". No I'm-sorry-you-feel-that-way or anything like that.


Anyone have experience with a Jeep Liberty? Might be getting one...

One of my coworkers had one a few years ago, I think it was an '06 model. She was not happy with it. Said it was a gutless POS. I've heard a few other reports like that but nothing too specific as to what makes it a POS.
