OT: Tough times with weather, Covid, etc for many of us.

Triad, I know that it's going to be a difficult task but, God willing (and the creek don't go dry) I'm going to get the Giant Philly the next time I go in. And thank you for the info on the reward's program. I'll join the next time in.

Yep, reward program is great.

If I had to quibble regarding the subs - my favorite cold sub is "custom" - ham, roast beef and turkey - and no cheese (btw, just to be clear, I don't like cheese on sandwiches, I do eat cheese) and virtually impossible to get made right. I stopped trying when the wife stopped the cold subs. A real sub shop in NJ, OTH, would have no problem with it.

And thanks Steel fro the remarks about the wife, she misses the cold cut subs terribly, even though they were always a rare treat. It is the immunosuppresion due to her transplant - lots of nasty germs possible in cold cuts. Thankfully, she can eat ham which we get at Honey Baked, although we generally heat it to be doubly safe.

Slots are for people who don't know how to do math.

My wife and I are penny-ante slot players...We look for cheap slots (harder and harder to find) that make a lot of noise and do funny/interesting things.
When we lose 10 bucks, we quit. If we're winning, perhaps stop and hold and wait for another day...We partake on cruise ships and casinos...like to stay at cheap (but classy) casinos when we're traveling.

Clearly not serious gamblers, but slots have their place.
Not very good at math.

Two teachers in the family. Both have some students without regular internet access. In addition, some students already had jobs and then added care of siblings during the spring and summer. Far cry for some of these students than my nephew’s family in Connecticut who had help at home over the summer while both parents worked from home, and can consider options such as learning pods.
