You're still around? I'd thought you'd succumbed to the cat allergies years ago. And either way, considering I'm officially middle-aged now, I was sure you'd be too elderly to remember me...

Speak up! I can't hear very good! You young whipper snappers! Who are you again?

edit - I shall call you soon(ish).

I am on a Discord where I am locally known as the "old man of the server." I keep talking to people I think are adults, but it turns out their, like, nineteen.

hee-hee, i subtly implied nineteen year olds weren't adults; for sure that'll never come back to haunt me, ever, in the history of the anywhere

For real, though, many folks there are pretty great; but I keep being surprised at how young some of them are when I find out. I don't even know what the youngest are. I and a few others have to keep telling the youngest ones not to dox themselves. Oh the invulnerability of youth.

EDIT: I wear clothes, dang it!

"They'll never find your body" is a lame threat. "They'll be finding parts of your body for at least 3 months. And you'll be alive for at least 2 of those months" is a much better threat.

Which way does a cyclops wing their eyeliner? Doesn't matter, because Nobody is going to criticize their makeup.

That's right. It's an Odyssey pun.

I have been disappointed by many things in my life, but finding out that JRR Tolkien's name was not "Jolkien Rolkien Rolkien Tolkien" is probably top of the list.

God, people caused such a fuss when Portillo's opened here in town. Lines a literal mile long. People waiting hours for food. Just complete b*#%**!*.

Now, whenever I go past (which isn't super often, but occasionally and almost always during peak dinner hours) there's basically no-one there. And I still refuse to eat there. The Chik-fil-a is still stupid busy, though.

Sounds like a defective portillos. Inform the company.

There's so much that's leaps and bounds better for food in Georgia. I will give the South a lot of crap about a lot of things, but the food (aside from grits) is not one of them.

Indeed, grits must be eliminated and replaced with the far more sensible corn meal porridge.

We are close to an inch of snow now, our yard still looks like late March back home in the Northwoods, but we're having fun. It just happened to be WW's only scheduled day off this week from the USPS, he just happened to still have the "sled" (actually a metal slide from a dismantled play structure) that he found on the curb when he was a kid, and the golf course in our neighborhood doesn't mind folks using the sloped part of the fairways as sledding hills so long as you stay off the important parts of the green.

I'll get as much snow as I can to you to spawn a randomly generated Captain Yesterday.

Will you get Hippie Jesus Captain Yesterday or one of the other versions? Who knows?

Zaxby's was my counter-option of choice when I lived in TN, and likewise was better food and less galling to give money to.

Cane's is an option now that I've moved, one Scint and I get on the semi-regular.

Everyone loves Raising Cane's!

Don't cry, Freehold. Portillo's is a horribly overpriced and over-rated sandwich chain that treats their workers like garbage, has two or three 'child' franchise chains that have done the same, and are a pale comparison to an actual *decent* beef an' sandwich type of place

This sounds like heresy.

I will need to speak with a former employee to find out more though.

And find more beef and sandwich places to compare it to.

One of the great things about living in an eternally drought-parched area is that if you need to make a big shopping trip and you see rain in the forecast you can wait until day 3 of the rain: The shelves will be full and the stores will be empty because nobody wants to go out in the "big storm".

In the Central Valley we had an occasional storm that hit a rate of 1" an hour, which is really a downpour. 1" in a day is an unusually wet day in the area I live.

When I lived in L.A., I always thought the fear of the rain was crazy. Then, the first time it rained, I saw the problem. The streets do not drain, at all. And the months of dry weather leaves an oily sheen on the roads that gets incredibly slick in the rain. Driving in rain in Southern California is no joke.

My nephew was genuinely frightened when it started raining here. Like starting to cry.

It's a high bar in Chicago. The Mom and Pop places that look like they just survived a looting are usually the best.

In other parts of Illinois there's a lot less competition in that segment.

OMSG WW GOT A REALLY GOOD JOB!

He starts the 16th. It's WFH, occasional travel, for more money than he has ever made in his life. They're emailing paperwork and shipping him some tech for his home office.

It's the same company he *almost* got hired at twice last year, that his TSYR friend's wife works for.

I can get a car that doesn't have 190000 miles on it.
We can work on fixing the house, like putting insulation in the attic and bringing the wiring up to code.

GUYS, WE CAN GET HEALTH INSURANCE.
HEALTH INSURANCE!

I don't have to worry about choosing between buying groceries and paying bills, or letting my car coast on fumes until payday.

I'm not crying. (Yes, I'm crying.)

In other news, should you have to tell a grown man that he shouldn't stick his finger in an empty light socket if the power to it has been turned on? (Apparently, yes, and you then have to go around taping up everything and making sure he can't stick his nob-twiddlers in anything else potentially dangerous, as one does with a small child. The same gent walked into a door a bit later on, so he was having quite the day. However, since he did it outside the office, that wasn't my problem)

I'm not cynical! Seriously!:
Yes, I'm pretty sure that some folks in my region do consider buying CFA to be a civic duty (that backhanded snark was deliberate in my first comment; text-based humor can fail easily).

Everybody's rotten, somehow. And isolation does a good job of building more echo chambers.

Better class of drive-through food, all they sell is fried chicken fingers, crinkle fries, coleslaw, lemonade and sweet tea. And the special dipping sauce. The chain is named after the founder's dog.
