@WoomyNNYes I'm enjoying studying up on classic SNL. I was a bit young to watch these classic skits when they originally aired back in the day lol. A coworker put me into these, as well as some suggested videos on YT after I watched a little Key & Peele.

@Heavyarms55 It's classic Chris Farley. You should bookmark the video for later. I can't normally watch videos at work unless they're very short, like your normal two minute game trailer.

Family is admittedly a major factor in me staying where I am. If I didn't have a lot of family nearby, I wouldn't have many qualms about pulling up my roots and moving; heck, until I landed my current job, I was starting to look at opportunities in adjoining states. I like the general geography and some of the people where I live, but....Well, I won't get into politics and economics, but let's say there's a reason my state (IL) has more people moving out than in.

That said, it IS an awesome feeling when you get together with someone that you haven't seen in years.

I don't eat a ton of processed food these days, but I do indulge on occasion. Breakfast items would go in and out of style for me as a kid. One month it was dinosaur oatmeal. The next, Eggo waffles (especially the ones with filling!). Then toast or poptarts the next month. Maybe some cereal now and again.

No oven? You've most likely made do, but I would need one every now and again. I bake a lot of my meat since I intentionally don't pan fry very often and dislike using my electric grill since it's a pain to clean.

@ThanosReXXX Well, at least the knick left a point of reference for your barber. Glad that the cut wasn't much worse than that. Would've been a bit freaky, though probably not too noticeable depending on how fast the adrenaline was moving.

@Tyranexx Well, I say no oven, but I have a large toaster over that works well enough to make things like garlic toast. But the vast majority of cooking I've done for the last several years has been cooked in a pan on a stove or boiled. I have a fish broiler that I've never used because I admitted don't know how to prepare fish properly for that.

I adore eggo waffles. I used to eat them all the time! From childhood right up through university. Often times just toasted in place of regular buttered toast. In university I because very fond on things like pizza rolls because they were (presumably still are?) very common, very quick to just toss in a microwave, and tasty. I especially liked the triple pepperoni kind.

And although all my friends made fun of me for it, I shamelessly love(d) White Castle! Even though I know full well that it's one of the most unhealthy fast food places around. Last time I returned to Michigan about 3 years ago, I grabbed a crave case and ate about half of it in one sitting! (although admittedly part of that was because I hadn't eaten in like 30 hours)

@Heavyarms55 Ooh, eggos! I love those. I still eat the Minis with cinnamon and Nutella sometimes. It’s delicious!

Someone has created a DDR arcade machine on ACNH.
I will get that DDR pro design and beautify my island with DDR pattern. 😀

@BabyYoshi12 Yeah minis are my fave! Do they still make them?

@Anti-Matter That's quite cool! I love the stuff people make in AC. Did they share a maker code for those custom patterns?

@Heavyarms55 I don’t know. I ate some a few days ago, but I think they’d been in my freezer for a while.

Just so you know, @Anti-Matter, I wasn’t judging you. I’m looking back at the comment and it sounds like I was.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

Heavyarms55

@BabyYoshi12 Then probably. I haven't been state-side in years so I wouldn't know but I doubt you've had them in your freezer for years.

@Anti-Matter thanks. I might add that to my arcade.

How's it going with sorting out a reader for your micro-sd, btw?

@Heavyarms55 I'm with you on White Castle. Every time I go back to the US to visit, I make it a point to pick up a Crave Case. I feel like White Castle is totally a love it or hate it kind of thing. Almost everyone I know hates it, haha.

Heavyarms55

@klingki I wouldn't say many of my friends hate it, but I have a couple who cannot eat it any more. A buddy of mine that I used to drag with me to White Castle finally convinced me to stop when he pointed out that it actually makes him feel sick, even though while eating it he doesn't mind it.

And before my father passed away it was one of the things he had to stop eating - along with almost any other greasy food.

So even though I really like it, I totally admit it's super unhealthy. lol

@Heavyarms55 Definitely agree on that! It's been years since I've been back to the US now, so when the time finally comes, I'll probably feast haha. But it's definitely for the better that I'm not eating it (or fast food in general) as frequently while I'm in Korea.

@klingki I would probably be legit 10-15 kilos heavier if there was a delivery pizza place out here where I live in rural Japan. So while I complained about it - that's probably for the best. XD

I will probably gain that weight when I eventually end up back in the US.

It's probably gonna be interesting going back to American fast food sizes!

Just remember one burger is enough. And be strong.

Don't forget to buy soft pretzels while you're there.
