Subj : Re: Not Horsing Around To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Feb 13 2022 19:04:00 George, GP> So far only McD's & Tim Horton's here. Oh, & one A&W that's now gone. . They're losing all the good places (sigh!). When this buffet cafeteria announced they were going to shut down 20 years ago (this was before my Dad died 15 years ago), he lamented "I'm going to starve to death!!" . We'd always go there after Sunday morning church services...but the reason the Baptists are wanting to get to the cafeteria early, is that they're afraid the Methodists are going to beat them to lunch. GP> I pay at the counrter even when ordering at the kiosk, as I want the GP> option of changing my mind on my way, & I often pay in cash. Good idea. I usually order the same thing when I eat out (although I can't afford to eat out every day). I thought about making a switch the other day, but decided it was cheaper to stick what with I had been getting. GP> Except7 when this one she-dog is on, then I'll pay with my debit & go GP> pick up at the counter, & ask there for delivery to a table, if I'm GP> not taking right off to go. . . You've got some folks who have no business working there...and obviously some who don't want to be there. I worked at Burger King for 5 years over 40 years ago, and I didn't consider it "degrading"...I got my fill of Whoppers. GP> The mobile ordeering was handy when it got too busy inside to get my GP> wheelchair in, then I'd park in a car spot & order via mobile (get the GP> points from buying co0ffee & fries, plus can m,ore easily cash them in GP> for free coffeees or fries (my wife loves their coffees -- I'll buy GP> here 7 $1.80 medium coffees, then trade in points for a $4 medium GP> mocha! (I love a deal!) I remember when all those combos first came out nearly 50 years ago... it was amazing how quick the others jumped on that bandwagon. I rarely use a mobile app to order stuff, but I've considered it. GP> I do that when they point out my belly & ask if I'm pregnant. I say, GP> "Sure am; with a baby elephant; want to see his trunk?" Never mind hear it snort. :P GP> I saw the kitchen crew trying to read my handrwriting & giggling, then GP> I got a fish burger & fries (close enough) I thought about going to Arby's after church this morning for a couple of fish sandwiches. But, since I was hacking from sinus drainage, and I had grabbed an EMPTY bag of cough drops (works real well ), I decided just to come straight home. I didn't rest well last night, so even though I woke up at 6:30am, I went back to sleep until 7am. The Good Lord gave me a poem before and after church today...but in getting the first one set up, I was late leaving for, and getting to church. Then, after I got home, after I got done setting the second one up, it was time to do a ham radio traffic net, and finish the stuff for it. I still haven't eaten anything today, and I'm starving. So, after I finish the QWK Mail, I'm going to get something to eat...then do a small amount of computer work, then get to bed. GP> Another time, whentrasveling & aty a McD's I'd never go in evert again GP> anywya I ordfered it from the pretty young thing at the counter & she GP> ran away & gpt a manager. I just calmly said I wanted a fish burger & GP> a side of fries. I don't know why she got him involved. That's like the one about the blonde at the truck stop restaurant. The guy asks for a pair of running boards, four white sidewall tires, and a pair of headlights. The blonde couldn't figure out what that was, so she went back to the kitchen to ask the chef. He told her the guy wanted 4 eggs, sunny side up, 2 bacon strips, and 2 sausage patties. So, she takes him a small bowl of baked beans. When asked what that was for, she said "I figured with the rest of those items, you might as well gas up!!" The blonde got the last word!! :D GP> I guess I looked mischievous or he really trusted her not to come to GP> him for frivolity, cuz he replied, "Just take your food and go." in a GP> drop dead tone. Guess you won't eat there again. GP> He paid triple the burger's value to me, including tip! Not bad!! GP> I'd guess whopper. . . & I'd have asked, "dbl Whopper with cheese? GP> Extra cheese on that,. sir?" (for the upsell) Oh, yeah...the cashiers (like myself) were encouraged to do "suggestive selling". GP> My wife drinks a half can of whichever we have handy, to help with GP> heartburn -- chug half a can, burp hard, & passthe other half can to GP> her daughter to finish, or put it in the fridge for another day. I drank some Sprite at the restaurant yesterday...after a visit with this lady friend and her significant other (with their dachshund). She showed me a deal with Kroger with "Lite Peach Tea"...it has NO CAFFEINE!! I've been drinking just Kroger Lite Lemonade, and I'm getting burned out on it...so, the next time I go to the store, I'll be getting that. GP> I say the same; pointing out that their equpment is especually designed GP> to handle a baby going through; mine is not designed to stretch. Except only for arousal, or pressure from the bladder. GP> Plus the G-spot is conveniently located to offset some of the pain. The late Betty White (wife of the late Allen Ludden from the original PASSWORD game show), noted in an interview on The Tonight Show with Joan Rivers (guest host for Johnny Carson) 50 years ago, that "I don't know what all this talk about trouble finding the G-Spot is all about. To me, it's a cinch...when a man touches me, I say ''Oh, Gee!!''". The entire studio erupted in raucous laughter. GP> Good one! Or the Shredding Stones? Or like Three Dog Night singing "I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not your shredding stone". GP> prick is a funny word; GP> You can "prick your finger" but if you're on the radio, never speak of GP> "fingering your prick" (even if you just mean fiddling with the scab) The doctor screamed to the blonde nurse "No, Nurse!! I said 'Prick His Boil!!' -- oh, well!!" :P GP> I am, specifically, & I don't care who knows it -- I admit to to pretty GP> nurse right up front & often get treated extra kindly. . . That helps. If the pain level is at a 1 or 2, I'll either tough it out, or take a low dose Tylenol. I was advised to give up all other pain meds that I had. But, the acetomenaphen in the Tylenol and other medications can lead to liver damage. I guess they just want us to suffer. But, for folks on a blood thinner (like I am), these can make one more of a hemophiliac. GP> I just banked another $2M to make $8 in the bank(in L2) -- I could live GP> well off that, including starting a small business or two to keep me GP> eating for life. Not to mention getting repairs on the house and car...even if you didn't want to take a long vacation. I was hoping to take a train trip after my Mom died 2 1/2 years ago...just to get away from things for a bit. Sadly, I never got the chance...and now, my health and finances won't let me travel outside of central Arkansas anymore. GP> "I was raped!" moans the old whore. . . In more ways than one. GP> by her, or by the massive infusion of salt? By her. I told her "you can have those nasty things" (talk about a massive salt lick!!). The thing is, when both I and her parents tried to get her to cut back with all that salt, as she was a heart patient (she was born with a defective aortic heart valve at birth, and had undergone multiple surgeries), she just "gave us the stink eye". GP> I cook sitting down in my manual wheelchair, then eat at the table, GP> also in my chair. . . Now, I put the food in the microwave oven, and sit at the table while it finishes. Or if it's just lunch meat sandwiches, there's no cooking involved. > When someone told me to cut carbs, I said "I sliced a pizza". GP> I'm using that one! It's free. GP> Reminds me of Porky Pig saying, "Son of a b-b-b-b-b-b--b-GUN!" then he GP> looks cheekily at the camera & says, clear as a newscaster, "Ha! I bet GP> you thought I was going to say son of a bitch, didn't you?" LOL!! In a word, really. > Are you sure you lost an electron?? I'm positive. GP> Hmm, need to make some wooden disks, with "Tuit" on one side & "Ion" on GP> the other! I get the round tuit, but the ion?? GP> No idea -- it was a character on the Muppets, the Swedish Chef, who GP> only ever saisd "bork! bork!" & that was the Muppet version of GP> Swedish. Wasn't he the chef?? Daryl ....
