Same here.  I know a bunch of guys though, and have learened how they
think.
 
-> We generally go there only for the McFlurries or Fruit & Yogurt

I can tolerate the new coffee, but the rest of the menu isn't anything
exiting.

He may not have wanted to remember it himself.  Grandpa didn't really talk
about the nastier bits - just some of the perils of cooking on the front
lines, with some none-too-veiled digs at the guys handling getting food
supplies out to the men.

The MS causes cramps sometimes, but they're transitory.

One less problem.  Now to just get rid of the pollen.......

Like I said.  Some of that is pretty good, but some of it ... gak.  They have
prepared salads at my local A&P that look really good until you eat them.  The
thai mango slaw looks great but tastes like nothing in particular.  I'd rather
eat PB&J, which since I'm a mango fan should tell you something.  On the other
hand they get their Jamaican beef patties from Scott's, a Hartford institution,
making them the best prepared item in the case.
