Mildred the Cougar

Before I forget, I need to tell the funny story about Mildred the Cougar. I had taken Mom to the doctor and, afterward, we were scoping out eating places for dinner. I remembered that Mom had won a Ruby Tuesday's gift card about six months ago, so I suggested that we use it before it starts losing its value. It was still early and the location we selected was nearly empty. The bartender was doing double duty as a waitress, so she put us in a booth by the bar. Two guys were at the bar -- one working busily on a laptop and another -- 30ish -- getting more tipsy by the minute. After Mr. Tipsy grew tired of annoying Mr. Laptop, he started talking to me and Mom. Eventually Nature called and he ran to the restroom like one of those Flomax commercials!! Upon returning to his stool, Mr. Tipsy apparently became distracted by someone else and let us eat in peace.

I kept waiting for the bill. The bartender eventually made her way over to refresh our drinks, at which time I requested our ticket. She replies, "Oh, the gentleman at the bar paid for your meals!" So we quickly thanked him -- Mom telling him that she would have eaten more if she had know that he was going to pay for it -- and left before he sobered up!! lol Mom swears that he winked at her throughout the meal!! So just call her Cougar!!
