Let's just say it wasn't from cigarettes...

I didn't start running into the breathing issues until my late 40s, from late blooming allergies. Back then it wasn't really an issue for me. Concerts were definitely cloudier 25-30+ years ago.

Doesn't matter what kind of smoke, although I do better with smoke from the grill than cigs, pot, bonfire, incense, etc.

Had to use my inhaler waiting to cross University for the Texas game and so did one of the kids. Some guy just billowing cigarette smoke into the crowd waiting to cross that included several little kids.

Can someone help me with memories of an old commercial?

On one of the central Iowa TV stations, (5, 8, 13) there was a commercial during the 80's or 90's for a place called "Schriefner's Gold Cafe" or something like that. It had lyrics something like:

"Line up ... at Schriefner's Gold Cafe!
Line up . . . Schriefner's Gold Cafe!
Line up, oh won't you line up?"

And it was to the tune in the YouTube video below.

- Can anyone confirm my memory is accurate?
- What was that restaurant and where was it?

welp, today was probably a good day to not be around social media.

Depressing ******* day, insane news plus rained and thunderstormed pretty much all day. House was just rattling tonight. Did not leave the house or even get out my pajamas. In a real **** this **** mood. :(

Would have been a really bad day to ask me "Oh, do you feel safe when you go to Mexico each winter?"

Like, good haunted, or Paranormal Activity haunted?

I was taking the dog out and I glanced over at a window next to me and there was a kid in a pitch black room just staring at me. Like not smiling, just a cold murderous stare. And now my dog won't stop barking toward the dark empty living room from my bed.

So I went back to Doc, he decided to x-ray my chest. Yep! Definitely pneumonia. So now I'm on a different antibiotic, but luckily this one kills all bacteria, including those responsible for digestion. I won't go any farther, but let's just say it's a side effect I really could have done without.

I guess I could have spent yesterday with you, Boxster.....we could have been depressed together.

For what I'm paying that kid, he needs to up his game. If he's not holding the severed head of a porcelain doll tonight, let me know and I'll have a talk with him.
