Yes, you can see it here.

I have sent a PM to the OP. Hopefully she gets it.

Carry on.

Yes, I received the PM and I will no longer be part of Lounge of Tomorrow.

We're a friendly bunch...


Reading back on this thread, I wouldn't feel very welcomed by this board either...

I know judimouse. She's a sweetheart.

See, to me, this is enough info to welcome someone in!

I actually appreciated the link!

I love the movie but I'm not a seafood fan. So who knows if I would ever step foot in Bubba Gumps but it sounds interesting.

That may be true, GC, but not everyone knew her. And it's a pretty standard rule that self-promotion (i.e. linking multiple times to their website) is not permitted on message boards, particularly when it is done by a new user with no other posts in their history. I don't know if it's the rule here, but it's definitely the rule elsewhere. So it doers not surprise me that members would be put off by someone new who was self-promoting, even if she was known by other members, and even if she were intending to help people with her information, which I'd hope is the case.

Edited to add:
judimouse, I'm very sorry you felt unwelcomed - I hope you will understand that what you posted might have been misconstrued.

First NONE of the restaurant or hotels pay to be on my website. I go to each restaurant and/or hotel to gather information that might help people plan their trip. This is a FREE service I offer. Don't think it's easy keeping up with the menu changes or hotel name changes or refurish schedules.

If you look at any of the other websites you will see that I seldom post unless it has to do with food or hotels. I let the rest of the world take care of the other stuff.

This website keeps me very busy with updates and hotel site visits.

But I see how your all have reacted so I will refrain from posting my website again.

Off to the Cheesecake Factory for photos and menus.

Um, "you[r] all"??? Sorry for Kevy's confusion and poor assumption resulting in likely unintended rudeness, but it was hardly "all."

FYI, and you are most welcome around here - - so you should be made immediately aware ... take everything Kevy posts with 12 grains of salt.




Oh, and everything I post with a pound of it.

Hey, there Judi - I was certainly not trying to say that you were being malicious. I simply was trying to explain why someone who did not know you might not understand the situation if they didn't know you knew some of the members here. I've seen lots and lots of similar situations on a discussion board I moderate, and all of them have been people who came in without knowing anyone else, solely for the purpose of driving traffic to their site.

I understand it's not the case for you! You are friends with some of the people on this board. But if someone didn't know that, it could be easily mistaken for spam. That's really all I was trying to explain, and apologies if I came across as unclear, or unkind.
