Speaking of poor hygiene creating an intestinal nightmare at the mongolian grill places...

Am I the only one who, when faced with a situation where I observe someone leaving a public restroom without washing their hands, wants to follow the person out into the public space loudly declaring "That guy didn't wash his hands, just so everyone knows and can avoid making physical contact with them or anything they touch from here on out"?

I have a funny daughter scenario for this one. When she was about 3 or 4, we had just finished using the bathroom at a restaurant and we were washing our hands. Some guy came out of a stall, walked right by us and out the door.

My daughter was mortified.

As it turns out, the guy sat at a table right next to the booth we were in. My daughter plops down and proceeds to point right at the guy and (loudly, cuz she's a kid) says, "Mommy, he didn't wash his hands after he pooped!"

our class yesterday she's like go heavy on weights for biceps and shoulder stuff in the first section. So I huff and puff through......then the next set she's like time for push-ups!

I felt so betrayed...I went heavy with the idea that we would not continue to do shoulders. Then the next section included burpees and that was really mean. Little sore today.


20/30/50 and back down is a lot of pushups, ok it's a lot of any exercise.........how long did the workout take?

It was a 45 min kickboxing day. The push ups were broken up into segments with an ab and also broken up within the 2-3 minute warm up and we did the higher count after stretching. Then for the other squat/abs we would do approximately 4 minutes bag work then the breathing break would be squat/ab then back to the bag for another bit. Thankfully they weren't all together. That would be worse.

Here you go:

I dislike this place for many reasons. I tried the grill the first time I went and I was sick for hours afterwards. The next time I went I just ate from the main buffet, but not the salad bar. I still had issues with in an hour. The third time I went I only ate from the salad bar..... I still. got. sick.

If that wasn't enough, the reason way I even went back was to eat with international friends. There would be groups of 10 plus people. They did not print us out a ticket each, but kept the total bill up front and people were made to pay as they left. The pastor that oversees the group had to make phone calls sometimes to make sure people paid and they wanted the last three people to cover the people that forgot to pay. In the end, it turned out that the cashier forgot to mark through those meals. It is a HORRIBLE system and horrible customer service.




Better?

Edit: I have been persuaded to try it once a year after those times. I care more about the relationships, but I refused to eat there while pregnant. Even more so after the whole Doria thing.

Revkah's rants are so polite.

I don't think this is isolated to Coralville, the Cedar Falls location has always done a number on my stomach. It's either the dirty panther fans, or the oil. My money is on the panthers.

It was already discussed that it's probably the Hawkeye fans. Just because it's in Cedar Falls doesn't make them any less of Hawks than the Coralville one, babe.

Same here. I'm not a buffet guy either. Any place that has food sitting out with the general public walking by just screams sickness to me.

Not to worry. They put a low dosage of antibiotics in all of the buffet food.

I wish there was a way to keep my beard at 3-4 days length all the time without having to completely shave it to get it to grow there. Baby face Pantsy is just not a good look.

Definitely not the only one. I hate it when they don't have papertowels so I have to touch the door handle after washing my hands because around half of the people don't wash their hands so I might as well not bother if I have to touch that handle.

What a terrible sentence.

Have you tried a beard trimmer at its closest setting?

I left for 2 days and this site imploded.

Just find a good one. The Ankeny one hasn't made me sick and their spring rolls and chocolate cake are pretty awesome.

I always want to try the s'mores that you roast at your table, but I haven't convinced anyone to try that with me.

I've never felt sick from the west Des Moines one

I have, it just doesn't look right to me. It still looks too long. 3-4 days growth is my sweet spot for ultimate Pantsy good lookingness, but it means there's always another 5 days per week where I'm not at my best.

Facial hair problems.

My work week goes the same every week. Stress builds up to a certain point that I call the DGAF point. At that point, I stop caring and life improves immensely. Just reached that point.

I would rather see 15 more Fred Hoiberg threads every hour than eat at the Mongolian Buffet.

Post of the day. Everyone, just shut it down till tomorrow. :smile:

So you need at least a 3 day notice before I hop on a plane to Hawaii?

My parents have discovered they like Pizza Ranch. They're on Weight Watchers, and they have a fairly decent salad bar, so they load up on that, and my kinda picky eater niece will eat there, too.

So I'm with my niece at part of the buffet, and she asks what the sneezeguards are. I tell her, and without missing a beat, she says "Doesn't help with kids." Nope. No it doesn't.

Then there was a time I was at Valentino's in Omaha (another pizza buffet place) and saw the 5 yo girl lick the chocolate pudding spoon and put it back. No parent around. I grabbed a worker to tell her of the situation. I hope she changed out the whole pudding and not just the spoon.

The husband, while sick, didn't shave...so he had seven days growth before he shaved next. It was probably equal to two days growth for most of the guys on here.

Is it a good or bad thing to be that baby-faced?

It's a mixed bag. I can get by with shaving every other day, BTW.

My hubby is that way. He has parts of his face that don't even grow facial hair so he could never do a full beard.

We were at Orange Leaf a few weekends ago and my 3yr old nephew grabbed a couple gummy bears out of the toppings container. They changed out the entire container.

My two boys were 19 months apart. The older is "hairless" like me. I have plenty of hair on my head, but what's on my arms & thighs is fine & blond, nearly invisible. Younger son took after his dad - darker, coarser hair on the body, but very little on the head (go figure...). Genetics started him on puberty changes before his older brother. It was hilarious to watch him wander shirtless around the house with his hands clasped on top of his head, just to show off the fact that he had hairy pits and his brother didn't. He also had to start shaving in jr high, while his brother shaved maybe once a week...in college! It became an issue though when he went into the military. In boot camp he was a two-a-day shaver...too much 5 o'clock shadow. Now they both sport goatees because they don't want to bother with shaving.
