Never forget!
Still mourning the untimely demise of Curry House . Farewell, my curry pans !
If you're here because I did something to irritate you—take a breath first, then please engage with me politely . I can assure you that whatever I did, it was not meant to irk you or to generally be regarded as a nuisance. Let's talk it out! :) And if you're not here because I annoyed you... well, feel free to say hi anyway!
