I love the double rainbow! That is really beautiful.
@LilyAnneNova that looks delicious
@sdc2004 Scott, I don’t really feel like talking but I’ll hang out here and keep you company. Sending you lots of love and healing energy. 🫂💖
@BellaAine thank you 😊
I live in the UK and near me there is a food hall called Bang Bang. Pretty much every country from Asia is represented. You go to to stall of your choice order and pay and sit on communal tables, so great if with a group pf friends. Also easy to make friends if you go alone!
I will take a pic next time!
Over this past week, on the spendier end I've done all you can eat sushi 🍣, gotten some pho to go as I had a sore throat. My cheaper things I do is a Costco hot dog when I need a little something, or a bowl at Angie's.
I ate at La Cochinita &Co. I loved it. I’ve been feeling pretty invisible too. Also, lonely. 😞
I understand that feeling all too well @Hoodiesnuggles I recently went to a steam threshers show and it was nice talking with my Dad but after about an hour when I went back, there was my uncle and one of my aunts talking to him and it's just like I disappear.
Went to the cheesecake factory for the first time. Felt like I was reading a Harry Potter book. 😂
I haven't been to the cheesecake factory yet.
There is no "We" in chocolate.
Does anyone go to Cheesecake Factory for anything other than the cheesecake? Their menu is as big as a novel. I’ve had ok experiences there but I know someone who got food poisoning at one because they didn’t cook the food long enough.
Funny enough, Disney Quest had a Cheesecake Factory on the top floor.
@7gem but there sure is an ate 😂🤌
I love Italian foods. All breads and pastas and filling fattening stuff. Love it
One of my favorite dishes at Olive Garden is the lasagna classico with a bellini peach iced tea with the endless soup which I like ordering the chicken and gnocchi soup with a tiramisu for dessert.
Growing up my family would make me wait until everything was finished before dessert but I believe life is too short to have dessert last, so I'll have them bring everything out at once and eat everything as I please.

One of my favorite places I ever worked. Cedar Point in Park Services. I was a Restroom Attendant, Dumpster Driver and a Hose Operator on the water truck also featured in the video. One of my biggest accomplishments in my career there was earning an award for the cleanest restroom of the year for men's restrooms in Area 2.
I have a plunger from the warehouse they spray painted gold as a trophy 😊
One of my hobbies is to do go to random restaurants and post reviews on them on my Google & Yelp pages. Nah I don't get paid for them (I'm nowhere near influencer status) I just do it for the love of the game.
My favorite spot of the month would be my visit to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Times Square, (I've previously went to the French Quarter/NOLA & San Antonio Riverwalk locations) and I've had me a Shrimp Po'Boy that was as delicious as it was massive. For real I almost got myself lockjaw from taking on that beast of a sandwich. The servers there also make the experience an entertaining one as they randomly quiz you on the movie Forrest Gump as you're waiting for your meal.
@sdc2004 Shoot, last time I've been to Cedar Point was in 2018, and I was 32 then. I'm 40 now and I'm not sure I have the adrenaline to take on a sky high thrill seeking ride like I used to. Hell my marathon performance from the NYC Marathons of 2024 & 2025 went up from 3 Hours & 25 Minutes to 3 Hours & 44 Minutes. I'm getting ancient.
I LOVE Long John Silver's!!! But none are near me, BOOOO. Fav restaurant here is waterfront brewery. All the food is great, but the key lime cider is amazing!
I haven't been to LJS's in a while but I love Pete's Fish and Chips. They are a unique local thing here in Phoenix, Arizona and they have amazing burgers, and I think mustard, onions, and pickles give them their unique flair. They seem to be made from ground beef from scratch as well.
The other day I made my own burger as well, using the Costco grass fed beef 1/3 pound patties, with some sauteed onions and jalapenos on the side. Cheddar jack cheese and ketchup, mayo, and spicy brown mustard. Incredible taste.
When I was recently in Tokyo and Osaka I made sure to also try as much cuisine as I could as well. Some of the most incredible foods I have eaten in my life were what I ate in Japan. Even from just the supermarket (LIFE supermarket is one of my favorites in Japan), especially their Omurice with the demi-glace sauce.
@ilovelonghugs omurice is delish!
@SelfMadeJay that's really cool about the reviews. I've done some food reviews on Facebook and TikTok and some years ago I started a debate that kinda gave me a surge of popularity for a while.
I told my friends on Facebook that McDonald's has the best french fries hands down and people said well respectfully we disagree with you Scott, so they told me to test all of the restaurants to see where the best french fries actually are.
McDonald's clearly is in the top 10, I would dare rank them at number 2 because if they are made the way they are supposed to be, gold, hot and fluffy on the outside but salty and fresh on the first bite.... French Fry perfection! I used to work at a McDonald's and an Assistant Manager had me try two fries and he said try this one, which was crunchy and cold and the other was hot and salty... He said Scott that first french fry you tasted has been sitting under the warmer for the last 3 hours, we don't want that, we want constant fresh fries every time. So I've loved french fries ever since.
Kennywood amusement park in PA would be ranked number one because they are hot, thicker slices of real, park sliced potatoes and when freshly salted and drenched in gravy, there's nothing better.
Number 3 would be Five Guys with their perfectly salted, hot crunchy fries because honestly I feel like crunchy fries just taste better if done right.
Number 4 is Steak and Shake because their fries are fried in beef tallow which makes them taste okay, but they really don't stand out to me as memorable.
I don't really ride much in the way of thrill rides at Cedar Point because of a bad experience I had at a Six Flags park when I was in high school, but I have rode Millennium Force, Blue Streak and the Cedar Creek Mine Ride. My wife who was my girlfriend at the time said if you don't like Millennium Force you never have to ride it again... The ride was over and after screaming my head off the ride operator said "how was that ride, who wants to go again" I said "get me off of this thing I'll pass I never want to ride it again.". Too intense for me.
Going to the local library yesterday I stopped my vehicle and froze in my tracks. Sitting on a shelf in the library is a Slappy dummy from Goosebumps and I almost didn't go in. Why? I was watching a Goosebumps DVD that had the slappy episodes on it. Suddenly, my PS3 and my TV shut off right in the middle of the episode.
Ever since then, I can't watch it. What is everyone's take on Goosebumps? The show? The books? I never read the books but the movie really wasn't scary to me but the original TV show, terrifying...
I loved reading the books and waking up Saturday mornings for the Goosebumps show. I just never liked the endings.
I've been feeling very discouraged lately. There are so many wonderful people in the community here that I would really like to connect and cuddle with. But I feel like me being married, though I'm living by myself at the moment, my wife knows I cuddle, I just feel like I've been burning bridges left and right so I'm sorry if I seem brash or if I've made anyone here feel rushed. That is not my intention, I just want some consent given healing platonic touch, healthy attention and conversation. I just feel invisible.
So to occupy my time I've decided to bring out my HO scale train and get it running. It's been sluggish so I asked Google AI how do I clean this and get it running. I got some isopropyl alcohol and paper towels and I got the small train running, the other one I have taken apart is the very first train set, O scale I believe that I got when I was a kid. Well it wouldn't start the last time I had it on tracks and I feel really absent minded because I took it apart and can't get it back together again. And I still have to clean all of the tracks for the HO and buy tracks for the other train (if I ever get it put back together again)
Also on a different note, does anyone want a commemorative Class of 2004 glass coke bottle that's unopened? My dad and stepmom bought it for me and told me to never open it because it will be worth a lot of money one day. I feel like I've been had because I've been sitting with it for the last 22 years and it's not worth much more than $5 bucks...
There is a local restaurant called magill's that I enjoy, they are known for their mac and cheese dishes, my favorites are the bbq pulled pork mac and the alfredo mac with crispy chicken, use to be able to get sausage with it but they discontinued that. They also have an awesome biscuits and gravy for breakfast. They even source the cheese they use from the local WSU campus creamery.
Oh you mentioned Mac and cheese I instantly thought about a restaurant Cedar Point had. From 2011-2019 they had a Pink's Hit Dogs which I only knew about from watching documentaries about it on the Travel channel so of course I got excited about it coming to Ohio. I had it, loved it.
They had footlong hotdogs and for the Cedar Point dog they added sour cream, relish, onions, bacon , tomatoes and sauerkraut. I loved it but because of franchise fees the last year they had it was 2019.
So in the meantime they opened the Mac Shack where they would start with a bowl of macaroni and cheese that was inside of a huge pot, boiling and they would scoop it into a giant cheese block to get some of that melted cheese in the bowl and basically all of the toppings like bbq pork and anything else you could possibly think of that would be layered onto a hotdog or burger they had it.
Well it only lasted for two years and because Six Flags being Six Flags, they are slowly transitioning from closing all or mostly all of the franchise restaurants to make their own cheaper versions of this food, but the one that has me fuming is Tofts. They are a local dairy to Sandusky and in my opinion, nobody makes a better ice cream. Cedar Point had the nerve to take their name off of the restaurant but they are still using Tofts milk. I told the people at the dairy they're doing this and they act like they don't care.
I told them if that was my milk they were using I'd want my name to be on the building and the locals are not happy about the stock price plummeting which it did and because Six Flags was the one being bought up in the merger only the Six Flags stock holders had the right to vote on the name status.
Where I live there so many food options, today, I am making meatballs with garlic bread and pasta. Typically, I love going to Indian and Japanese restaurants ^^)/
That sounds delicious @JessieKitties I don't think I've ever had Indian or Japanese but I did make peanut chicken once and our local grocery store didn't have hoisen sauce so I used double the soy sauce. Very good dish but a lot of prep work and ingredients.
I had a great connection with one person that works near me and when I first started messaging her I’d get almost instant responses but now it feels like I’m waiting forever to work out the details do I move on to another cuddler or remain patient
