I completely agree. I remember when a Big Mac value meal was $3.25. And that was after tax. No one can convince me the logic that explains where the same meal is now $11. My dad who grew up near Buffalo said wings were free bar food. They were leftover scraps basically that…
Had ice trucks come around for the ones of us that had an ice box and no fridge (most of us didn’t have a fridge ). Ice man always had an extra ice block to shave off a sliver for us kids to have in the summer; cuz no ice cream man yet. Was very cool. I remember when there were…
I had a staff person who didn’t turn in their timesheet by designated time. I called and she said “oh I forgot. Can you do it for me?” I knew the hrs she worked so wasn’t a big deal. But then she said “ok so on one of those days I took client to Tim Hortons and another day I took…
To this day, if I’ll be maybe helping someone bring in stuff from their car and they offer to have me stay for dinner. I’ll tell them I’m not taking food off your table that’s for your family. Usually they tell me to sit my backside (they don’t say backside) down and eat. I will…

When I was 15, the vice principal was trying to physically yank an ear ring out of my friend’s ear. I went to stick up for my friend and tried to pull the VP off my friend. He turned around to me and attempted to restrain me in a full Nelson. I slipped to the floor out of the…
#22. lol. That phrase was uttered by Cody Martin on Suite Life on Deck way back in the day. I used to watch with my grand daughter 10+ years ago. I had to explain to her what it meant. She said “grampa, that don’t make no sense. “. I told her it’s a joke. She’s like “(eye…
When I was dating one lady, we would do things with her married friends, and one of my married couple friends. I would observe the interactions between the couples. I would look at my girlfriend with a confused look. On way home I would ask “ it’s a joke right ? They’re not really…
