I have chosen to live in denial about it and will not go up to see what it is. Sometimes I think my brother is upstairs when I'm in the kitchen because I can hear someone moving around, then I'll find out he's not moved from the living room for the past hour. I think - I hope - it's pigeons or squirrels or mining subsidence 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coffee is really quite nice at our McDonalds, I haven't tried the muffins yet. This ought to be in the pet delight thread too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) I haven't been in a McD since the days that my sister's grandchildren where little ones and needed someone to take them there. That is easily more than 10 years ago. I guess it is time for another visit soon. Edited January 28 by Sid Nagy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaithLynnSayes Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 When I was young I wanted to play the guitar really badly. After many years of hard work, practice and determination, I can play the guitar really badly. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never could stay in one for very long because the smell of the food would start to kick off my gag reflex.. LOL The smell to me smells like old burnt grease or something.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far better local takeaways where I live. But kids are conditioned to like McD and KFC and others by the endless stream of commercials on TV.

Thing still worked back in 2010. The only issue was you had to manually defrost that freezer now and then. I remember having to do.that for my mom when I was a kid.

LittleMe Jewell Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I still have an old 1960s chest freezer in my garage. It still works wonderfully, though does occasionally need a defrosting by hand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The freezer I bought last year has double size, compared to the old one, it freezes standard to -18C, auto defrost and is cheaper in energy use than the old one. Because of the threads title: I asked my fridge for some food puns. It said, “Lettuce keep it cool.” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of getting a literal antique fridge to go with my 1927 gas stove, but went for a couple "dorm style" small fridges in another room instead for now. A 1927 fridge is the "monitor top" design, which doesn't fit my esthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I saw this Ice Carving in the news this morning (one of the winning entries in a yearly ice sculpture contest). I've either been in SL too long, or simply have my mind in the gutter too much, but this has some serious sexual connotations to me: 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the smell of their food that does it to me. I won't let anyone in the house with fast food, especially McDonalds. I'll end up having to start cleaning just to get the smells out.. hehehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use olive oil if I fry anything.. There is just something about Their fast food that sets off my gag reflex.. I've been to plenty of places that fry food.. But If I walk into a McDonalds, I'll just start to gag after a short bit.. Even if someone has it in the vehicle i'll start to gag.. it's something with the smell .. I can't really pin point it.. I can tell it's McDonalds in a heart beat without even seeing it.. lol Edited January 29 by Ceka Cianci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on all of my research, a new model will likely save me $100-200 PER YEAR. Not worth the price of buying a new one right now. We'll buy a new one when we retire and move across the country, because then we will not be moving lots of our stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
