Sebastian's Inlet is beautiful. Every once in a while you can catch me riding my bike along the bike path that runs from Melbourne Shores down to the bridge, over into Indian River County and back to Melbourne. It's a very calm, aside from the traffic, nice ride.

I like variety - so it is anywhere from 100 dollar a plate to 1 dollar a plate 
I enjoy going out to fancy resturants but I also enjoy going to bbq joints or even just grab raw oysters or oyster shooters and just be content with oysters and a pint.
I dont enjoy going to chain resturants though - I prefer to explore local resturants and try out many different recipes or cuisines. I like to discover what is awesome and what is not. I think a date is more fun this way if we both like to experiment with variety of cusines out there on variety of costs.

I am in the central Fl area and so we hop on 60 for a nice ride on the Harley......we get into Vero and neet up with our friends and the go over to Earl's. It's very pretty there and relaxing(the area not the bar!!).
My step mother said the loud noise came from the lobster screaming, I don't believe my mother would lie to me like that or take advantage of my deafness either...
Oh yeah, my brother heard a lobster screaming when my Mom put it in big boil water pan. Glad, I did not hear. I refused to eat the lobster, calms, etc... I hate Sea Food. Yucky!!
Ironcilly, I grow up nearby the ocean. :|

Lobsters can't scream because they don't have vocal chords.

If you go to Red Lobster, You don't have to buy a full Lobster which cost 30.00, there's some prices on the menu which are lower than 30.00. I would know because Red Lobster is one of my favorite, Oliver Garden is the same as Red Lobster.
I would take my date to Red Lobster, Oliver Garden or Spaghetti Warehouse.
I agree...RED LOBSTER does it for me......I could eat there forever...

Crabs 'sense and remember pain'
Queen's University says new research it conducted shows crabs not only suffer pain but retain a memory of it.
The study, which looked at the reactions of hermit crabs to small electric shocks, was carried out by Professor Bob Elwood and Mirjam Appel.
The crabs reacted adversely to the shocks but also seemed to try to avoid future shocks, suggesting that they recalled the past ones.
The research is published in the journal Animal Behaviour.
Professor Elwood said the research highlighted the need to investigate how crustaceans used in food industries are treated, saying that a "potentially very large problem" was being ignored.
Shell shocked
Hermit crabs have no shell of their own so inhabit other structures.
As part of the research, wires were attached to shells to deliver small shocks to the abdomen of some of the crabs.
The study revealed the only crabs to get out of their shells were those which had received shocks, indicating that the experience was unpleasant for them.
Legislation to protect crustaceans has been proposed but it is likely to cover only scientific research
Professor Bob Elwood
Hermit crabs are known to prefer some species of shells to others and it was found that they were more likely to come out of the shells they least preferred.
The main aim of the experiment was to deliver a shock just under the threshold that causes crabs to move out of the shell, to see what happened when a new shell was then offered.
Those responsible for the study said crabs that had been shocked but remained in their shell appeared to remember the experience of the shock.
They said these crabs quickly moved towards the new shell, investigated it briefly and were more likely to change to the new shell compared to those that had not been shocked.
Professor Elwood, who previously carried out a study showing that prawns endure pain, said: "There has been a long debate about whether crustaceans including crabs, prawns and lobsters feel pain.
"We know from previous research that they can detect harmful stimuli and withdraw from the source of the stimuli but that could be a simple reflex without the inner 'feeling' of unpleasantness that we associate with pain.
"This research demonstrates that it is not a simple reflex but that crabs trade-off their need for a quality shell with the need to avoid the harmful stimulus.
Crustaceans
Given opportunity, they seem to avoid future shocks
"Trade-offs of this type have not been previously demonstrated in crustaceans. The results are consistent with the idea of pain being experienced by these animals."
Queen's said the findings of both studies were consistent with observations of pain in mammals.
However, Professor Elwood said that in contrast to mammals, little protection is given to the millions of crustaceans that are used in the fishing and food industries each day.
"Legislation to protect crustaceans has been proposed but it is likely to cover only scientific research," he said.
"Millions of crustaceans are caught or reared in aquaculture for the food industry.
"There is no protection for these animals - with the possible exception of certain states in Australia - as the presumption is that they cannot experience pain.
"With vertebrates we are asked to err on the side of caution and I believe this is the approach to take with these crustaceans."

I only want to show that crabs do have pain... yes they scream because they do have pain...

okay I think I should avoid cooking live stuff here let the professionals do the cooking when it comes to going to resturants.. cuz since angel said she heard the screams when it was cooking in pot made me feel not want to eat lobester again 
sorry if I went off topic but anyways...
if I go to a special resturant probably better go first week of every month cuz easier to budget $$ not go expenvise resturants every day or week only one day per a month got it? like with family we only go expenvise resturants only if it comes to birthdays and special occassions
