I was curious, so I looked. Both KFC and Popeyes 12 pc bucket meal (2 large sides, some biscuits) are $34 here. The only edge might be to Popeye's, whose chicken is at least somewhat normal sized for chicken as opposed to the Kentucky Fried Canary "breast" at KFC in recent years.

I haven't had KFC in years and our local KFC closed down a couple years ago. I also haven't had Popeyes in years because my wife can't eat spicy food and generally doesn't like fried chicken.

There's also the service aspect to consider. Not sure ANY chain has more consistently hostile employees than KFC. It's like surly is a requirement for hiring.

Popeyes’ chicken murders KFC. KFC’s sides are infinitely better than Popeyes though.

Our Royal Farms has an 8pc mixed and 10pc dark specials for $12 and $15 respectively right now. It's within walking distance. I like Popeyes and all (though like Ksyrup the wife doesn't like chicken and she thinks the shrimp is on the spicy side), but if I'm in the mood for fried chicken I'm probably gonna be lazy and go there, maybe get some western fries as a side.

I mean don’t get me wrong if I really want a good family dinner of fried chicken there are a couple of local family owned restaurants in neighboring towns that we go to. I’m specifically comparing KFC to Popeyes in the above comparison.

We have a sprinkler system for our bermuda that we've not used for over a decade (and it's definitely in disrepair).
There was a drought one year when we were told not to use them, and we never reverted back. My grass is still green. Maybe not the greenest in the neighborhood but it's not brown. Whatever rainfall we've had for the past decade has been good enough. |

So I see there's a new study that shows a correlation between having too HIGH a level of HDL and dementia.
I give up.

There's obviously a simpler explanation for this, but I'm going to consider it to be physiological affirmation that I don't feel as old as I am.
I've been taking a variety of vitamins for years, including a multi-vitamin. A couple of weeks ago, we went shopping and my wife was going to buy me some more of a men's multi-vitamin. She saw the Centrum Silver vitamins for men over 50 and suggested I take those because, you know, I'm 52. Whatever. Well I started taking them over the weekend while I was traveling and noticed in the mornings that I felt "off" - a little nauseous, something just not right. I didn't think much of it as I was traveling, staying at 2 different hotels in 2 different cities, eating different food, etc. Came home this week and noticed the same thing during my drives to work the last 2 days. But I discounted it by noting that I took my vitamins at 5:45am and didn't eat anything until after 7am. I'm working from home today. This morning, I ate my normal breakfast, had a couple cups of tea, and noticed around 10am that I forgot to take my vitamins. Didn't even think about how I had felt the previous week - until I took the vitamins and within about 5 minutes started getting that same feeling. So we're going to cut out the Centrum Silver and go back to YOUNG MAN MULTIVITAMIN and see if things go back to normal, since that's the only obvious change and based on the timing of what happened this morning. Weird.

I wear slippers almost all of the time. Unless I am in water, about to be in water or in bed, I’m wearing socks. If I’m wearing socks, I’m almost always wearing slippers.
I finally found the perfect pair of slippers from LL Bean. They are amazing. They are so comfortable that I hate when I have to take them off.

I, too, almost always wear slippers, and with socks. For all we have ordered from Bean in the past though, I think my wife orders slippers from Lands End. I currently have three pairs of their Suede Leather Moccasins, at least one of which I grabbed from my son when he got a new pair (they were still good in my book).
I also have a slip-on pair from Eddie Bauer that I'm wearing now which is pretty nice if I know I probably won't be walking outside at all.

I am pretty much exclusively a moccasins guy. I have gone through dozens of pairs over the years, usually opting for cheap ones from DSW, Target or Amazon. This is the first time I decided to go for a more expensive pair and have not been disappointed!

I went to the only Popeyes in town because I was given a gift card and I was curious. Ordered in the drive thru and got to the window, got food and handed them the Popeyes gift card. "Oh, we don't take gift cards."
It's a Popeyes gift card and they're a Popeyes... how do they not take their own gift cards? |

Yeah, it's like certain Starbucks franchises not accepting those Starbucks reward stars, which I felt like was every Starbucks I ever walked into, so I kept accumulating these stars for nothing. Luckily, I just moved offices and Starbucks where I work accepts these stars, so it will be free sausage, egg & cheese sandwiches for H_B!

We were stopped at the lights outside the local Popeyes at the weekend about 5pm in the evening, suddenly lots of cawing and screeching and every crow in the neighborhood flew in from all directions to hang around the trashcans at the side of Popeyes. The fence around the cans was lined with crows, the trees behind full of them, the Popeyes roof too. Easily 200 from all directions all at the same time.
It was a pretty impressive turnout, guess the local Crow-Bros know the schedule for when Popeyes throw out the trash, they were all in place waiting. Unfortunately the lights changed before the trash came out and off we drove. Last edited by Critch : 10-10-2023 at 02:03 PM. |

I'm trying to think of something sweet and romantic to do for my wife on Friday night for her birthday/our anniversary. Why the heck does my wife have to be the only woman on Earth that doesn't care about seeing Taylor Swift?

I kinda just love it when my UberEats order arrives ... and only half the order is included.
I mean, literally HALF the items. (when I called just to find out wtf, since I'd already processed my refund, the restaurant did own the mistake 100%. I mean, that's great I guess ... but better if you just got it right)

I hate Charmin (and others) that advertise "12 rolls but same as 48 regular rolls".
Sure, its 48 of those thin, sandpaper TP from the gas station, but who are they kidding about those being "regular". |

Will,
I don't really know what's going on with you and Jada. But from what I've read, I'd say do a clean break, agree to joint custody and being the best divorced parents you both can be, and move on. |

So, you can buy LED lights that replace flourescent tube lights (like the ones found in commercial buildings everywhere). I know this because we have flourescent tube lights in our unfinished basement and I've been replacing them with LED tube lights when they fail.
So, why can't offices start doing this? Those flourescent tube lights are the source of so many complaints, up to and including being migraine triggers. |

Social media is harmful to my will to live.
Tonight's culprit? Someone discussing their favorite team in the postseason, and said they were "routing for them" Just my hunch that was not a faulty spellcheck issue.

I was walking the dog this morning about 6:45 est and was looking at the sky because it was extremely clear. Stars were out in force this morning. Saw a light moving across the sky fairly quickly that was the same brightness as the stars. Then it turned, not quite 90 degrees, and moved faster until I lost it in the treeline.
Definitely off. I thought maybe it was a plane but there were no blinking lights and moved faster than I've seen planes in the same situation. It was over by what I think was one of the dippers. When I got back I looked through some trackers and my best guess is maybe the ISS, which should have bren visible in my area about 15 minutes before the walk. Maybe a "shooting star" but there was no trail. Maybe a plane at just the right angle/distance that I couldn't make out any blinking. Just kind of, well that was weird. |

Searched for that one and I shouldn't have been able to see it today. Probably just a plane at the right angle or the ISS. Would have freaked me out more if it just zoomed randomly.

So as a way to kill time before bed I enter contests online. Won some cool stuff and some useless stuff. Mainly enter things I'd be interested to win or sell.
So I got an email saying I won a recent contest. Didn't remember it so I looked it up. 2nd prize was $200 Visa card so that's why I entered it. However, I didn't win 2nd prize, I won first prize. First prize is "$800" in sex toys... more specifically anal sex toys. Look, I'm Progressive, but I don't need $800 worth of sex toys... nor do I know how to broach the subject with my wife. I feel it's poor form to reject a win and even bad karma (I rejected a Mexico trip because the announcement was too close to the days and not enough lead time... then my wife's grandma died and the funeral was the same time the trip would have been... coincidence?) Also, as I said I sell things I can't find a use for but I'm not sure the market for pre-owned, like new anal sex toys. It's not exactly something I can advertise on Facebook market and I don't want to advertise it for porch pickup on Craigslist. I guess I could donate the more exotic ones to Goodwill. So the questions are: How would you tell your spouse? Do you accept/What would you do with the toys? And no, there are no patriotic undies in the collection. |

You ever see one of those neighborhood book libraries? You know, it's a "take one, leave one" kinda honor system deal. I'm thinking maybe ...

Jon just sorta gave me some inspiration for a take one leave one box but for actual children's toys. I think that would actually be a good idea.

Is it too late for a suggestion? I think you should tell some group that you have $800 in toys that they can raffle off and then you should deliver those toys to the winner.
