    I'm happy to know that I can always pass a background check. Don't even have a speeding ticket to by name.

    I haven't had one in 15 years..knock on wood. I keep thinking of the 40 bucks costco was going to overpay me on a return but I told them about their error. I could have taken that money to Sunset Station and put it in a progressive slot machine and won big. Oh well.

    Haha. Same thing here. I've returned so many accidental "gifts". Part of me is annoyed with myself, but I sleep easy and with a clear conscience.

    There was also a chinese place downtown. Chen's maybe? Chang's? We used to always go there I think it was right off Broadway.

    And another Chinese Restaurant on Macadam in that little indoor minimall I think there was a Pier 1 there too.

    REmember those old entertainment books? I would basically jerk off to the fancy restaurants.

    Another one came to me, Max or Maxi's. I think I had my prom dinner there. I think on top of the Hilton?
