April 8, 20215 yr Author Many people swallow food down the wind pipe at restaurants. I've seen it twice. Once the waiter performed a Heimlich maneuver and the other time the guy was able to cough it up. It happened to my Dad once and they took him to a hospital where he remained overnight. The world is a dangerous place. There are things that happen that aren't anyone's fault. Restaurants don't have signs posted warning you of all the dangers that could befall you while dining there. At some point you have to take charge and be responsible for yourself. I certainly hope the plaintiff lost the case. Nobody else is responsible for you being dumb or doing something stupid or even swallowing wrong. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
April 8, 20215 yr Administrators I can see it now! Restaurants have to put a sign...."Warning! Eating can cause death!" 🤪 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
April 8, 20215 yr Moderator Twice in my life a small bit of food wound up stuck in my trachea instead of my esophagus. It took a lot of coughing before being dislodged. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
April 8, 20215 yr Author Fr. Bill, was it at a restaurant and if it was did you sue? Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
April 8, 20215 yr Moderator 1 hour ago, birdguy said: Fr. Bill, was it at a restaurant and if it was did you sue? Yes it was and no I did not. On both occasions it was completely my own fault. I also learned the hard way when I was still a kid not to try eating my Corn Flakes before I'd let the milk soften them up first. I had one flake wedge sideways in my esophagus. It took a lot of water slowly drunk to soften that flake enough that I could swallow it! Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
April 9, 20215 yr Author Once you put a mouthful of food into your mouth the responsibility for what happens is all yours. I don't eat that kind of cereal anymore. Every morning I have a bowl of Quaker's instant oatmeal. I garnish it with a half handful of almond slivers. Noel Edited April 9, 20215 yr by birdguy The tires are worn. The shocks are shot.

April 10, 20215 yr This is definitely my kind of restaurant. I'd be there a couple times a month if there was one here! I haven't been in a decent, reasonably priced steak house for years! Long Horn, Outback, Lone Star, Texas Road House just don't cut it anymore. The meat just isn't that good. the cattle baron restaurant - Bing images Bruce
April 10, 20215 yr Author I didn't know there were so many Bruce. And get a load of that salad bar. None of the pictures show the two choices of soup at the end of the bar. Sometimes my wife just gets the salad bar and soup. Instead of desert I go the salad bar after dinner and get the sliced honey dew or cantaloupe, strawberries, and pineapple.

April 11, 20215 yr Great looking places, Noel! BTW, we have some things in common! I'm 83 and I found out several years ago I'm 47% Norwegian(total surprise). I was in the USMCR for 8yrs -55/63(you regulars called us parade Marines). 😄 Bruce
