If you're searching for a family-friendly dining destination, look no further than Lazy Dog Restaurant, where delicious meals and a cozy ambiance await your next gathering.

Just when you're on your last day spending with your family there is an invite to have dinner. My family wanted us to have a meal at an American restaurant. It was my first time to dine and have a meal at  Lazy Dog Restaurant  in Concord, California. My brother in-law had made a reservation at six o'clock party of seven. We had received complimentary barbeque chips and a dip while waiting for the remaining family to arrive. For our appetizer was the Bacon Candy. Reading the menu to decided what to order came across $15.00 Fireside Favorites that includes with a main course meal and dessert from smores brownie or banana pudding.  Fettuccine Alfredo  Blackened Shrimp Tacos Dessert  Family members just ordered what they wanted with the Campfire Pot Roast, Chicken Lettuce Wrap and Fish. Everyone had enjoyed their meals and shared with each other. I am grateful my family gave us the opportunity to try new restaurants. NOT SPONSORED. Check out my channel @ Carmina Lif...

Terms of Language or SMS

Sometimes when we are older and our children say, things at our face or when they send a text message to us. We have a hard time relating to what they have message us. There are so many short cuts that happens to us and we seldom understand what the meaning are when someone talks to us.

My niece asked, my mom one time what is her relationship with her guy friend. She said, they are in a platonic relationship. My niece asked, her Nana are you friend's with benefit with your guy friend. My mom said, yes he buy me stuff what I need.

I asked, my mom if she knew the meaning before she had answered that question. She said, isn't that the meaning. I said, no. That is not the meaning when someone ask you if you are in a relationship with friend's with benefit.

I had explain to my mom friend's with benefit is when you are with the opposite sex whom someone you are having sex without a romantic relationship or commitment. When you are not involved with someone serious and when you want some needs you are willing to give it to that person.

My mom told her niece I have no relationship of friend's with benefit. Her niece than laughed at her knowing her Nana wouldn't be the type of person.

There are times people younger than us are just testing as they are asking questions from you. But, they know the truth just to put humor as you are bonding with each other.

My son's often text me the following and when I text back to my mom she gets confused from the meaning:
  • OTW - on the way
  • NVM - Never mind
  • BRB - Be right back
  • ATM - At the moment
  • GM - Good morning
  • GN - Good night
  • BFN - Bye for now
  • DK - Don't know
My mom text her friends or to me her words are short cut for example:

The - D

You - U

And - N

Friend - Fren

Your - UR

Manila - Mla

This - DS

After I glance at my mom's messages her senior friends are the same way. I think to them they understand each other in terms of how they don't want to type out the full word.

I also have American friends who message me and there are times I am lost in words and unsure what are they asking from me. Some times I feel I am lost at words. I ask my friends what are the meaning since I am clueless. It takes me a while to pick up the sentence they are asking me.

There are times I ended up looking for the term they are asking me.

When you live in the life of the unknown you are clueless on what the American slang are and you seem left out.

As a trial and error you learn new words and in terms so you too can use those terms in the future. I don't find myself not capable of understanding their words. It is just seem new to me.

There are times my son will correct me on words I have a hard time pronouncing. I realized they are doing the things I use to do to my own parents.

We always go through the same pattern in life as we correct our parents how they certain words. We too get corrected from our own children. It becomes a cycle as we become older.
