!Onward Prague!
I have been tossing around the idea (actually, I've decided. Just nerves keep me from commiting)of moving to the Czech Republic to get my cert in TEFL. I may not just stay in CR, I could go on from there and teach in Cyprus or Greece. I wouldn't have to stay there but I would like to stay there for at least a year.

A Full Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Waste.
I say I have a full mind cause there is a lot on it.
Possible thing for me to do this summer:
1. Going to Czech Republic to go to school to teach English to non-English speakers.
2. Going to Cyprus to hang out.
3. Go to Greece or Cyprus to participate in a dig.
4. Pursue a certificate in Education here in Pinellas County.
Obviously, my mind has reset my goals since the beginning of the year. I'm a Gemini. What can I say? Only another Gemini can understand the torn mind of another Gemini. I keep finding things around the world, around the states, just around, that I want to do but I can never decide. Or I get scared and stop myself from going forward with something I would really like to do.
I suffer from situational anxiety. Trying something new usually scares the shit out of me. Not that I don't do new things. I make it a point to DO new things, just so I don't turn into a hermit. But I know I hold myself back....testing the waters a lot longer then I should before jumping in.
So, That's where I'm at...the edge of the ocean, waiting...for something, maybe someone, to push me in.

The Cruisade Against Evil Vegetarian Unfriendly Restaurants Continues.......
I filed a formal complaint with Cracker Barrel. Now, I'm not one to complain but I am over it. I didn't leave any kind of contact information other then my home address. I didn't want some Cracker Barrel redneck calling me up asking why I complained and whatnot...So, once I hear from them, I'll let the 'blog' know what the result is.

Can I have a subsitute for the meat? NO! And you have to pay full price....
You better suck it up and like it!!!!
So, I hate going to Cracker Barrel but I do cause we have one right down the street and it's easily accessible from the house. I woke up this morning wanting to have some breakfast in a restaurant and groaned inwardly when I realized that it would end up being Cracker Barrel.
There is always a problem when I go to Cracker Barrel
See, Cracker Barrel has a problem with vegetarians. They don't like them. Every meal they have comes with meat and if you order a meal that has meat in it and you want to sub it with some non-meat product you are going to pay for that non-meat product. If you don't sub anything for that meat, you still pay full price for the meal. Eventhough you didn't get a full meal.
This has been my contention with Cracker Barrel for years. They can't seem to get it through their thick skulls that it is unfair that just because I don't want their stinky meat that I have to pay for it anyways. AND NO! I don't want to pay ala carte either cause then I am paying more for something that I thought I wouldn't be paying full price for in the first place.
The manager kept saying that paying ala carte came to more but my arguement was that I ordered this specific meal that was 7.19 and I did not get a part of that meal. Now since I didn't receive a portion of that meal, should I have to pay for all of it? NO, but they seem to not think in that mind set. I don't know if the buttons on the register are just programed for certain meals, and god borbid, they can't change anything about the meal.
I didn't even get an offer to sub cause then that would be an ala carte item and AN EXTRA CHARGE!!! I have never had this problem at any other restuarant...the nazi mind set of you must EAT YOUR MEAT...YOU CAN"T HAVE ANY PUDDING, IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT! HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT?
Am I in the wrong to not want to pay for something that I didn't buy?
