Hey Substackers! Hope you’re having a wonderful Friday night! Had to hop on the mic to share the epic conclusion to the local street preacher who fell in a drain (that’s in the running for my favorite sentence I’ve ever typed 🤣) In the middle of the rant I had to make an announcement of sorts, so apologies for the boredom… feel free to fast forward to me talking about Long John Silvers trying to put me in the damn poor house!
I guessed $70 for your LJS meals. But dang! I love LJS. But the closest one to me (Oak Ridge, TN) closed a few years ago. There's only one left in Knoxville, I think, and it's not even close to my PT job. (I had to retire early on disability but I have to kill my body even at a PT driver job because I can't afford not to, and can't, in all honesty, have a normal quality of life even with the PT job. Hoping for no big financial emergencies! Even with no house or car payment, and I drive a 2006 Kia with 187K miles on it! Keep going, little Kia! LOL) Anyway, I miss LJS and that yummy malt vinegar! But DANG!
Picked up McD's one night on way home and when he heard the amount he almost had a heart attack (pun not intended).. My husband refuses to do fast food any more as it's too expensive..
I don't wish ill on anyone, but karma is a bitch and some people richly deserve what they get.
Talking about looking like other people, I've gotten that. One woman I worked with told me I looked just like her former boyfriend. She showed me his pic and I thought "maybe a little" but others agreed with her. She still had some kind of relationship with him and things got really creepy when she walked in one day, I said "Good morning" and she said "I've been talking with you all the way to work. I don't want to talk any more."
I finally had to tell her "You know we don't actually have a relationship outside of work, right?" One of our co-workers almost swallowed his tongue and it hurt her feelings, but it had gotten to be too much.
I think I can speak for all my fellow SubStackers as well as myself, we'll follow you anywhere, CHO! I even became a "founding member" a couple months ago here on SubStack just because you're worth it.
May need a follow up about our drain pipe preacher if anyone figures out why he climbed in there in the first place. Googled it and looked like it was a very expensive rescue operation
My dad doesn't drive anymore so I take him to Walmart and his doctor appointments. He treated me to a meal as thanks since I won't take his money. We got Wendy's. Two burgers, a medium fry, and two medium frosties. $25...A quarter of a Hundred Dollars! His social security is only around $1,000 a month. Unreal.
I'm glad you had a decent Long John Silver's to patronize -- the one that used to be in my neck of suburbia (Long John Closed) used the same deep frying oil forEVER so I always got the runs if I bought any of their fish meals.
Popeye's used to have a pretty good fried fish meal but apparently I was the only one buying it, so it's off the menu.
I guessed one hundred and twenty dollars for everyone's meal. Close!

You bring me so much joy! Thanks for making me laugh and brightening my days!

Just got a bucket of KFC, some chicken tenders and some corn for the THREE of us from Door Dash and it was $85.
So sweet that Bain is helping with the laundry! Just the same way my kitty helps!
My favorite pastime, not doing a god damn thing… old hippie ✌️💙😎
Malt vinegar. Tip of the hat to you sir. Everyone in this country looks at me like a leper when I drown my fries in it (one reason Five Guys hits).
Pricing on fast food has gone nuts, I hope the greedy MFs eat eachother.

Fresh laundry! This guy gets it.
