Woman Arrested After Indiana Applebee’s ‘All-You-Can-Eat’ Dispute
A dispute over Applebee's "All-You-Can-Eat" deal led to an arrest in Indiana earlier this month, serving as a prime reminder to always read the fine print. I've spent a lot of time at Applebee's over the years, and one of my favorite promotions they offer is their All You Can Eat" Special. The limited-time promotion comes around every so often and features your choice of unlimited boneless wings, riblets, or double crunch shrimp.

A brand new warning about the upcoming winter comes from an online forecaster who says Indiana can expect to get what he describes as the "worst of winter". If you're like me, you absolutely loathe winter weather. When you are a kid, it's cool because when it snows a lot (well, a lot for Indiana), you get the day off and enjoy playing in the snow. When you are an adult, you don't get that luxury. You are still expected to get out of that mess and drive to work. Throw in those frigid cold temperatures as another reason why I am not a fan of winter. Now, I realize that we haven't even gotten into fall, and the temperatures really haven't dropped too much yet.
