Boy I wish someone would have shared this with me when I was working 2 jobs, struggling to afford rent, raising teenagers, and getting home at 11pm when I had to get up at 6:30am. If I would have just worked a little harder...

I appreciate that you're trying to be helpful, but it feels like telling a depressed person to just eat right and exercise and they'll get over it.

I'm guessing they basically made a second drive through line. They just need someone outside to walk the food out to the second line.

Almost definitely. They're putting it on 6 days a week, and the familiarity of the music and voices would lend itself to be relaxing.

My only question is are they doing this for themselves, or is it a child that they're lulling to sleep?

"Bulking agent

Anti-bulking agent"

🤔

Emulsifiers? Egg yolks are emulsifiers, but I guess the chicken is on the hook for the processing.

Thank you for making me look out up! 😁

I see someone down voted you for some reason. In case it's because of the misconception that audiobooks aren't as good as reading, several years back there was some research which showed that as far as the brain is concerned, there's essentially no difference.

"Looking at the brain scans and data analysis, the researchers saw that the stories stimulated the same cognitive and emotional areas, regardless of their medium. It’s adding to our understanding of how our brains give semantic meaning to the squiggly letters and bursts of sound that make up our communication."

It took me far too long to realize he played Drexel in True Romance. Like, that's one of my favorite movies and it took several watches and seeing his name in the credits to catch it. The Professional was amazing too (which is where Drexel's wig came from lol. )

I don't eat them because I always equated them to water bugs.

I'm paying $115mo for whatever the cable crossing a nearby interstate can offer my small neighborhood. I've been told by a frustrated service worker that until Xfinity is willing to replace the lines our service will continue to fluctuate. Most of the time it's just ok, but we have spikes of great connection or barely connected. This effects the whole neighborhood, but many are older residents who I might guess rely on the Internet less.

I like how there's one dude just peeking in from the back row on the right. Either he hasn't seen the horror yet or he's just glad to be included in the pic.

I work in hospice and have seen patients (and family members) 90+ who I could have mistaken for late 60s - early 70s. I also recently met a patient's wife who was 20 years younger than him, but was in worse shape and looked his age (82) if not older. Genetics and life experience are wild.
