*hughug* I wish your pain were gone, but the rest sounds promising.

Google lets families and friends come eat with employees for free. Families more often than friends, at least here. I went and ate there once with nooks and annburlingham and their child once. It was really totally cool! I had seared scallops the size of your fist, and the kid had hot dogs or some such. There was so much choice it was almost overwhelming!
