OMG YOU are my mother!!!
Well, we don't all eat that way all the time, BUT I have been trying to pay more attention to portion control this year.
Ruby's is a chain restaurant.....
Indeed. Two nights in a row! Part of my old age.

Over the years I've made adjustments so that this never happens. There's something wrong with my menu choices if I can never finish my meal.
At least, that's how I feel - if I want takeout, why not just order takeout? Why order a big meal you can't finish?
I recognize that if it's burger and fries, I'm NEVER going to finish the fries, so I ask them not to bring them. If it's a burger and a wrap is an option,
I do that, because it's mostly a lot of bread. If I'm having a salad - my entree will be small. Why load up on salad and bring half a steak home?
I skip appetizers - or I eat one as the meal and ask it be brought out with everyone else's.
As for the time, well, I'm guilty because I have kids that have an eight o'clock bedtime. But even when that wasn't the case, I still associate dinner
with the end of a workday, which is typically five-ish. And my doctor always told me it wasn't the best thing for my already overlarge stomach to eat
late if I'm going to bed soon afterward.

Don't forget... they don't' even have to put a tire on RT235 to get to and fro.

yeah yeah
I guess I should stop giving my mom so much hell then. They are like this now, and in the 5:45 dinner rut. I am not there yet, but I guess one day could be. LOL! She also has a coupon for EVERYTHING. Literally, we go to check out- and she says hey wait, move over here (and takes 10-12 minutes sifting through coupons). Lordy.

I'm actually surprised you ate at Ruby Tuesday's. I've gave that place 3 chances and I am done with them. The last meal was horrible, and quite frankly IMO the place just down right sucks. Their salad bar is OK at best. I'm speaking of the one in California in case you're wondering.
I'm not overly impressed with their food, either - it was okay, though. I do love the salad bar, but I don't require a lot of different items.

Used to eat at the California location quite often about a decade ago. Sometime around then, there was a major shake-up with the employees and it was never really good after that. Then, they went with a whole new image and it just made it worse IMHO.
on the floor there when she was three.

Their salad bar is great! Especially for a to go lunch. Most places want to charge salad bar by the lb. but RT doesnt.

I was out last night at Leprechaun Lilly's last night and I thought of this thread.
I felt like my mother Everyone was shopping w/ all their little kids some running in and out of the racks, bringing toys over begging for mom to buy them, throwing temper tantrums, 
and I just started tensing up and getting irritated! I thought can't you people go anywhere w/ out your damn kids! Get a baby sitter already! 
Forgetting not to long ago I was one of "those" people

I am so glad my "baby" is now an adult. And I am very, very glad I said "NO!!!" when hubby wanted kids a few years ago.Forgetting not to long ago I was one of "those" people

He just wants to practice the deed.

I am madly in love with being a grandmother. My grandkids are so much nicer than their parents were.
