If mirrors were never invented, how would you know what you looked like?

Narcissus knew the way.

Many of my random thoughts are about words/phrases and how they originated. For instance, when someone says they are going to do something "right away" or "right now", I can't figure out how right came to be used in that way.

Imagine how nice it would be if people would just mind their own business.

We tried In-N-Out in a trip to CA in August for the first time ever... was not impressed. My hubby says Sonic is his favorite burger.

Maybe your not used to having you fast food made from 100% fresh ingredients at the time of your order. In-N-Out is legendary!!!

 

[Centerstream]

Yes

That's what I thought too.

 

[triaddukefan]

30 minutes on the treadmill followed by 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by a trip to Waffle house........... bacon or sausage

 

[Stymie]

Not sure you’re breakin’ even on that deal.

Sonic is OK, but for a real treat try Culvers butter burgers. Also my favorite is Culvers spicy crispy chicken sammy.

Agreed. In-N-Out is an acquired taste. Similar to that of beer.
I like Sonic cheeseburgers, and I love their “tater tots.”
We have several In-N-Out restaurants locally, but only one Sonic restaurant whose customer service is severely lacking. We have many fast food restaurants locally. You name it, we’ve got one here. Lots of Thai BBQ restaurants also. Three places you can go to and their drive-thru line is ALWAYS long……..McDonald’s, In-N-Out and Chic-Fil-A.

Driving in DC is a cake walk compared to here in Vegas. You have people going 65 in a 35 mile zone, at least 3 cars running a red light after it's changed. Pedestrians have to have their head on swivel when crossing a road, even when they are in a flashing yellow crosswalk where the motorist is required to stop.

I haven't driven in Vegas in probably 25 years. But the population has exploded, so just as DC, so there aren't many natives there either.

Can't do 65 in a 35 zone here anymore because there are speed (and red-light) cameras everywhere. In the town north of me, there are a few places where the speed limit changes three times in less than a mile. Each has a camera, and each camera takes in over a million dollars a year.

We didn't like In-N-Out either. Don't do Sonic at all.

I agree about the Chic-Fil-A lines. We have a lot of McDonalds, I go get sodas twice a day in fact. Rarely see long lines at any of them.

For burgers (chain) do like Five Guys. My "go to" for burgers has become a local joint called Divine Bovine. Really high quality meat, home made tater tots and brussels sprouts too.

And a tall ice cold one to wash it all down. That’s Nirvana.

Tucson voted out the cameras (they were left turn, mostly). I don't have the answer, now everyone makes turns after the light turns.

But I voted against, as well. I got a ticket for less than .1 of a second, it turns out the yellows were set extra short at camera intersections and I never expected it to change. I wasn't even trying to beat it, and kept going as I thought I was already in the intersection. Turns out in Arizona it isn't the "stop" line that counts (which I was partially past) it is the edge of the curb. So if I had jammed on the brakes I would have been ok. Too annoying.

When did "concerning" replace "is a concern"?

Good question. Merriam-Webster believes it to be 1740. But @meyers7 seems to have a more specific reference as is evidenced in a previous post.

What part of the country is Culver's in? Never heard of it. Actually did try Jack in the Box when we were in Cali - that chicken sandwich i had there was amazing!

Culvers started in Wisconsin and has locations in a number of states and towns. When we go to Florida there are locations in and around Sarasota. We lGa. and we have Culvers just a few miles from our house. They are a quality place with prices close to the typical fast food places. They also have the best frozen custard, a true treat.

I get the impression that people think that I love to eat.

Sometimes the first step to forgiveness is realizing the other person is an idiot.

When concerning means "regarding" is one example.

We also have in Tucson. But I can't get past the name "Butter Burger". I will, however, vouch for their custard as someone else did.

I only used the drive-through and of course it is fast food service, but the look through the windows reminded me a bit of the old chain "Friendly's" (which was sit-down, of course). The local is very busy, long lines.

A sphincter says what?

 

[RegisteredUconn]

Is it shorter to Boston or by train?

Did you walk to school or carry your lunch?

 

[CL82]

Why is it that we drive on the parkway and park in the driveway?

(Yes, George Carlin randomly thought it first.)

Never underestimate the value of a person who volunteers to be a bad example.
