Giving all of mine to my little brother once I know I'm on my way out. It's a modest collection, but it's all games I have actually played and most of them are still my originals from childhood.

It's cool because even at 12 he's much more into retro and indie gaming than any other kid I know, probably cause he respects me and I told him I don't play modern games because they are all ass.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

I avoid junk and fast food like the plague. If it doesn't make me feel like I have knives in my stomach I get that drained, food coma feeling from eating it. I had some cereal, raisins, meatballs, banana chips, and carrots yesterday. All organic. I haven't totally given up on life like most of v.

Organic is missing the forest for the trees. It's always better to spend that money on more greens and berries.

Yea I knew it wouldn't take long for someone to say organic doesn't make a difference. Aren't vegans supposed to be the annoying ones? People get pissed off every time I mention organic food, which is rare anyway. I can tell a difference in how I feel though. There's a good book on amazon called, "How Not to Die" which recommends sticking to a mostly plant based, organic diet. https://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Die-Discover-Scientifically/dp/1250066115/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527707329&sr=8-1&keywords=how+not+to+die

They would most likely end up going to my mother, who gave all of my "retro" games and consoles to a thrift store behind my back when I was a child because I "already had the new game system," so I imagine my current collection would probably suffer a similar fate.
