Can You Dine Out Alone?

If yes: can you do it without a book, or constantly being on your phone?

I am ridiculously good at this.

When I got my licence and was allowed to take out the car alone, the first thing I did was take myself to dinner at Swiss Chalet.

Try it: it’s an enjoyable meal; listening in on the tables around you never gets old; and no one is staring at you thinking you’re a loser, promise.

So bad the dentist is making me a sleeper-mouth-guards, because “you have the grinding of someone +40 years, Keri”.

Not good, guys.

I’m going to have learn better stress management.

Or go back to beating up bums at night.

This also means that in a dealership, a 2014 model could be beside an almost identical 2015, but with a big discrepancy in ratings, like this:
