These are only my thoughts...
I think these people DID have issues with each other, (because the fights were real)but I think that the show changed them slightly to make their problem crazier...
I think it  was my husband left me for another girl, and the show changed it to my husband left me for his sister. (The more shocking, the better ratings)

OMG! This sounds like so much fun, Cindy!

I actually tried to get tickets myself when in Chicago, but they were all out. But, my motivation was the hunky "Steve", though I'm not sure he still works on the show.. haven't seen it for a LONG time.

I went to see a Maury Povich recording in NY, cos I have a crush on him. Yes, I know, I have a crush on Maury and I get the piss taken out of me ALL THE TIME. But, they taped about 5 different show segments all day and gave us all free pizza. The audience was well scary though..... WOW! Some really over-enthusiastic people out there.....lotsa gangs too, sheesh! Good times  

Glad to hear it was a fun day out for you and the girls.

I can't wait to go to Springer one day.  It's on my to-do list.

And Maury just got owned by some 200 pound 3 year old on national TV haha.

Yeah nyuk nyuk nyuk, I'm watching Maury.  Laugh it up.


Be excellent to each other

Andy! Where have you been girl?
Glad to see you back.  
If you get around to Chicago again, this show would be fun for you, just make sure you get there an hour or more before you're supposed to.
Steve always looks so nice on the show, I know, but on the day we went he had a very large chip on his shoulder. I hope he was just having a bad day, and that he's not really like that.

Greg,
I know you wouod have a blast.

I found Chicago to be a lot cleaner than Detroit, but the traffic was the same. Lots of traffic. The people in Chicago were friendlier than here in Detroit, too. Not to say that we don't have friendly people, we do, but not as many.
Some jokester took the time to make a street sign and posted it on one of our highways here. It looked just like a regular street sign posted below the speed limit on the interstate. It read: Welcome to Detroit, We Hope You Survive.
The city didn't see it as funny. It was taken down after it made the news.
The heart of the city here is all right, but get a block out of the city, and you better lock your car doors and drive like the wind to the next city. There's just too much going on.
From what I've seen, I like Chicago a lot better than Detroit.

Hey Cindy,  

I've not been online as much as of late. But I'm fine, thanks for warm welcome   Lovely to hear about your trip there to Chi-town though, good stuff  

I would LOVE to get back to Chicago. It's a fanstastic city and very friendly too, I agree. I think I could even live somewhere like that, if I had the choice...then I could stalk Higgs forever... hahaha. Really a great town, plus Oprah lives there, and I love her. And the Cheescake Factory rules, as does Fogo de Chow. Great food.

Sorry Steve wasn't in the best mood. Miserable horny bastard. Oh well. Maury wasn't as friendly as I thought he would be either. Miserable horny bastard too.

I've still never been to Detroit, but if I'm ever in Michigan, I will definately look you up! Take care xxxx

Hey Cindy,  

Fogo de Chow. Great food.




Yes!  I absolutely love that place!  Interesting story about a time I went there.....

It was my wife an I, and two other couples, we had reservations, but when we got there, they said there would be a wait.  So we decided to wait at the bar, and have some drinks, and then some more drinks, and then some more drinks after that.  

Now I was drinking beers, but decided to switch over to their "margaritas".  I don't remember the exact name, but I think it starts with a c.  So, we're sitting there drinking, and finally two hours later, we get our table.  Needless to say I was a little drunk and angry, so I decided I was truly going to take a crack at getting my money's worth.

I went up to the salad bar, and bypassed all of the actual salad and vegetables, grabbing only the smoked salmon, cold cuts and cheese at the end.  Finished that up, and flipped my card over to the green side.  And then the fun began.

Lamb chops, filets, 10 kinds of beef, all just loaded up on my plate.  The mashed potatoes and plantains?  Screw 'em, I'm carnivore man.

I must have eaten for about two hours non stop.  My wife wasn't all that amazed by this, but our friends were.  Eventually they tried to send the gauchos over who had the little sausages and chicken wings.  My response to them?  "No thanks.  Where's the filet guy?"

So, that's my fogo de chow experience.  Waited a long time to actually eat, but the food was spectacular.

There's also a few other places in that general area that have really good food.

Yeah, I'm a wannabe tourguide.

Yay! Someone else who knows that restaurant and also loves it! I'm impressed Mike. Wow, eating for 2 hours. Think my jaw would have seized up, ouch.

My ex boyfriend took me to it for my birthday, and like you, we had to wait, but it was worth it! I'm not a huge fan of meat, but lemme tell ya, the food there just melts in your mouth. It's superb!!!!!!!<<drool>> Hot, fresh, and just delicious. I did frequent the salad bar, had to, no offense but everytime I visit the states I struggle to find a decent offering of salad anywhere, so went a bit crazy that night. But, I think I ate more than I should have, and the walk back was somewhat difficult, lol!

I like to actually call it Chow Pig's, cos I felt like one by the end of the meal. Kept the green/red, stop/go card as a souvenir and can't wait to head back to one again. Pricey, often with a wait, but well worth it!

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuum. I'm hungry now, dammit!

I missed the Cheesecake Factory?! Ah!

Andy, I would love it if you were to look me up if or when you're ever to Michigan. Girl, you know, you know, we would have a good time.   There's always something going on around here.

And Mike,
You ate for two hours? And all the good stuff! Now that's funny. I don't blame you. What a way to get even. LOL

Thats it.  I'm moving, and then I'm gonna change my location from chicago to "Right here in front of my monitor of course".  Maybe it will earn me points with Don.

If you get seven don points the simplyscripts fairy (R.E. Freak) flies in your window and grants you one wish.

Detroit being an attraction must be a tourist/foreigner thing.  I don't understand why anyone would want to even go near that city.  That is literally one of the armpits of the United States.  They had the Super Bowl there this year and it was horrible.  The city is just ugly.  

They are near Windsor, Canada though.  That place is awesome.  Best strip clubs and dancing clubs in the world, in my opinion.

As an American I would say the top five cites to visit would be:

Los Angeles - greatest place ever, period

New York - The city so nice they had to name it twice

Honolulu - It's Hawaii!

Miami - Probably has the most beautiful women per capita than anywhere else in the country

Las Vegas - Excellet party city.  Go there if you're looking to have some fun that you won't regret.  

Top SIX to stay away from at all costs:

Detroit - I can't think of one good reason to go to this city.  You could get mugged, car-jacked, and arrested by the same person.

Philadelphia - See description below.  

Houston - I think this was voted the fattest city in America.  Most boring place ever.

Atlanta - Too hot and gets to high of a reputation for some reason for being a great city.

Boston (if you are a minority) - Unless you are white, don't go there.

St. Louis - Another city that gets a good rep for some reason.  Very bad place to go with crime and drugs.


I would invite you to my hometown Andy, but New Jersey isn't exactly screaming "tourist attraction."  This place has no idendity.  They either want to be New Yorkers or Philadlphians.  Oh add Philadelphia to the list of terrible cities.  Those people are straight up evil.  They booed a little league football game I was coaching one year.  The kids were 8!  And they booed and threw beer cans at them.

Ha!  I've never been there.  I've heard some stories about San Francisco being a good place but not too many.

Quoted from tomson
You people all need to come down to the south! Everyone is nice and friendly here.

Strip clubs? I don't know, all we got is Cafe' Risque.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Traders. My husband took me there for an evening out one time. He's got such a twisted sense of humor.



Yes the south is awesome.  Raleigh, NC, College Station, TX, and Gainesville, FL were the nicest people on the face of this Earth.  Great people down south.

Haha your husband sounds like one cool dude.  Taking his wife to Traders, hahaha.  My cousin made a couple appearances there last summer, I believe.

Cheetah's On the River in Windsor, Canada though...whew...flashback.  I'm sorry what was I talking about again?

Note to self:  Go to Windsor, Canada again.
