Restaurants, if I have to look forever on your website for your Instagram site, it is REALLY BAD DESIGN. It should be on the opening page. If I have to Google it because it's not on your website at all, that's even worse, lol.

"We've found the best...in partnership with our friends at <brand name>". No, these are not necessarily the best. Is the brand one of the things on the best list? Or owns things on the list? They paid them to be on the list. Read it but keep that in mind.

At the end of every week, I get a text from a young woman about how her week was. She signs them "Love & miss you dad". I figure I received her deceased father's recycled phone number. I've never replied or asked her to stop. I don't want to take away her coping & healing method.
