If you want easy, bite sized content that's still dripping with potential drama you could make a show out of Ask a Manager or Dear Abby pretty easily. You could likely knock out a hundred episodes in about a week's worth of studio time as well.

There are some cases where retirement to a cruise ship is cheaper than assisted living.

The three things I'd have loved to have had from my grandpa disappeared* after my mom and dad divorced. Everything else is ehhh. When Mom downsized she tried to convince my sisters and I to take an armoire she had that was massive enough to effect the tides and none of us wanted it (it wouldn't even physically fit in my place) but other than that she was really good with understanding that no one wanted most of the stuff so she gave away/donated/sold it.



*Dad sold them.

Go to Casey's for their pizza. I used to work in a locally owned gas station that sold their pizzas and it's still the best non-gourmet pizza I've had. But for everything else I'll go out of my way for QuikTrip. They're always clean and quick and I don't have to worry about skeevy dudes hanging around in the middle of the night.

Thirding for Quicktrip. Always clean, always friendly, they almost always have iced tea (I work vampire hours and sometimes I get there just after they empty them out to make a new batch).

At this point there are three kinds of movie theaters in the US (and by the US I mean in my personal experience, so a medium sized city in the middle of the country):

1) lovely dollar theaters that get movies two weeks after they show up on Netflix. The snacks generally suck. The seats generally suck, the theaters screens are on the smaller size because they used to be...

2) older theaters that aren't terrible, but the seats are too small and are laid out more level with each other so you might have visibility issues, often with smaller screens. The available snacks are the 'too many servings for one person' candy bags, popcorn that's been out for a few hours, nachos with stale chips, and giant sodas that cost as much as the ticket. Most of these are (or were in the before times) are being converted into...

3) really nice theaters with large, stadium seating (often times with enough room in the rows that the seats can fully recline) and modern sound systems, the same 'too much' candy selection, roller grill stuff like hotdogs or maybe burgers, decent popcorn, decent nachos, and the same enormous KFC bucket-sized sodas that cost too much.

Alamo was 3 but it also offered at seat dining.

Fieri fed victims of the 2017 Napa fires, and in confirming the date on that, I learned that he fed firefighters last year.

Fieri is a fantastic human being but everyone wants to dunk on him just because he looks like a witch brought a stack of hot rod magazines to life.

Yeah but it’s honestly not that big of a deal. It just means that sometimes you can see a boom mic or the edge of a set that wasn’t in the original airing.

Buffy's extensive collection of studio lighting equipment was hilarious.

Cracker Barrel has a great breakfast after you've been driving for 8 hours in the middle of the night and need to stop anywhere for a break.

How* is it that someone like the dude who owns PornHub not opened their own adult friendly payment processor already?
