DR LAURA I look at all of the fast Food coupons that come in the mail....you can usually find a bargain in there.

I was feeding a picky American 6-year-old. It's  a McDonald's chicken nugget Happy Meal. Only.

Feel better vibes for DR Jrand74!

Ditto. And feel better vibes for Nathan.

Guess who else brought in the New Year by enjoying ill health?

And who's got the POSITIVE TEST RESULT to prove it?

Nathan.

He'd been to NJ to visit his mom and other family, got back on New Year's Eve, and immediately started feeling crappy. Yesterday he just kept feeling crappier during the TZ marathon, and decided to test. The other two of us are FINE, thankyouverymuch, and he's starting to feel a little better today, but it looks like he'll get to miss some work. Which he won't mind doing at all.


Hoping Nathan recovers soon!  And the other two of you, stay healthy!

On the rare occasion I get fast food, Jack-in-the-Box usually has some kind of special that's around $5 for the sandwich, fries, and drink.

At least they used to. I haven't done that in a long time.

To think that, I dunno... four years ago? - we still had DOLLAR or DOLLAR-plus MENUS at the likes of McDonald's, Wendy's, and probably the others, but those are the two I remember frequenting back then.

And then the increase in minimum wage happened, and the pandemic-related supply chain issues, and then inflation, and finally the major corporations NOT giving up the pandemic-related profits... and here we are.

Currently enjoying a Panera special, a bowl of chicken wild rice soup and half a turkey and cheddar sandwich with chips.

All for the bargain price of $8.49

I sat in front of a dead screen, and I thought, Hmmm, all this began when I replugged everything. Maybe that's the problem. Well, it was. As soon as I replugged everything and pressed the [power button, the computer opened. My day can only go up from there.

Whew!

Sounds good. I love eating low-carb. My main problem is the planning and the committing to starting it again.

I was literally about to post this last night to finish my Applebee's story:

And the real kicker is that Shelly ate her chicken broccoli Alfredo dish after coming home...and it gave her diarrhea!!




That's so terrible, George! 

And your meals there have all been OK?

My meals have always been pretty good...or, at least, good enough for me.  Hers were definitely not even good enough.

as if they had the arc of the series well in hand from the beginning

I remember reading (at the time) that the two lead actors did not get along. ::)

I recall that CASTLE ended somewhat arbitrarily, because two of the actors just didn't renew their contracts, not because they ran out of story ideas

That, too.
