Good afternoon. Been a little sick the last 24 hours. Going to try to catch up. I hope everyone is having a good day. Especially you @kevgib67
Hope you are feeling better soon my friend!
 
My husband just called and we have no internet at home. He called and our provider said the state cut a line near where the satellite is that sends out the signal to us and they don't know when it will be fixed. So you guys might not hear from me until I get to work tomorrow once I go home.

It’s funny because I really don’t care for Cane’s. We were out of town at a travel softball tournament and the girls got really excited because there was a Cane’s, I had never heard about it but I kinda got excited. I was disappointed, maybe it was the crinkle fries. In all of my public education that is what that’s what they served in the cafeteria and they baked them long enough to warm the outside and left the inside cold and mushy. I heard private schools served hand cut fair fries deep fried until they were crispy golden brown salted and served with malt vinegar and ketchup.
It’s not good fried chicken like Popeyes . If I’m going to eat fried chicken i would be going somewhere else . It’s hard to find chicken that’s not fried anymore !
 
They actually built a new Long John's? Worst fish I ever had anywhere. Rather eat a raw monkfish than that garbage. Arthur Treacher's was pretty good for fast food fish but I haven't seen one of those in decades.

We do have another Taco Bell in town but most here go to real Mexican joints for tacos.
Agreed !

Oh no Iran cut the lines? Jk!
 
Not that I'm aware of. I cracked that rib a few years ago and have had some pain there off and on since. Usually only lasts for a few minutes and goes away so potentially that's the stones moving. It's mostly minor though.
Not until there ready to come out ! Those are painful . I have a brother who gets those once in a while .

Wendy's and Chic Fil A are the fries I enjoy. In N Out, fresh, all day everyday. They're the first things gone from my tray, usually on my way to the table. Once they're not hot and dripping oil they're gross.
Arby’s has really good fries ? 🍟
 
Arby's curly fries are great but when they get over cooked their too crunchy. I like them still super squishy in the middle. And when you get that one dry that fills the entire fry bag, yes please! Dipped in some horsey sauce....

Try steak and shakes fries , just eat them while there hot !
 
I reread my previous answer and I want to clarify. I had gallstones for over 45 years before I had a bad one and it required immediate surgery. Up until then they felt more like an asthma attack than anything else.
So that makes you 46 ?
 
Well I missed my million dollar opportunity. Do you all remember when I posted the pics of the statue of Astronaut Fred Hayes? It had the seagull "excrement " on his head so they added the spikes to deter them.

I thought it would make great album covers and rock t-shirts! I even came up with these 😆
