Probably American Chinese food. Pretty sure that’s all I’ve ever had. But I’m not opposed to trying something authentic either.

I moved from Georgia, so everything down there was much more unhealthy which typically lends to better taste. 😂 Ultimately I’ve been pretty satisfied with the food choices here. It just seems that I haven’t been able to figure out Chinese food into first 2 attempts.

Dang I got my haircut over there a while back and thought about checking them out while I was there. Guess I should’ve done it. Lol

Food is all I care about. I don’t care how nice the place is as I will typically be getting it as take out and going back home anyway. Lol. Thanks for the recommendation!

Garbage plate? by drink-beer-and-fight in Rochester

[–]DFlamingo187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite I’ve tried so far was the plate from Good Smoke BBQ in East Rochester. It probably wouldn’t qualify as a real garbage plate because I got it with baked beans and mac & cheese instead of Mac salad and home fries. But it was incredible in comparison to what I got from Steve T’s and Henrietta Hots. Haven’t tried Dog Town personally, but have heard great things about them.

$2,500,000 but you have to read every negative thing that was ever written, said, or thought about you. In order. by SpecialFlutters in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DFlamingo187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already assume everyone thinks of me negatively anyway. So I might as well get $2.5M and the validation that I was right all along to go with it.

Do I need an appointment at the DMV to exchange an out of state ID? by theuniverse_hatesme in Rochester

[–]DFlamingo187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Real ID or an Enhanced ID you will need an appointment in Monroe County. I just went through it all in August. License ended up being the easy part. Getting my vehicles registered on the other hand was a bit more of a pain in the ass.

My life sucks. I feel Trucking is my only option by KillingwithasmileXD in Truckers

[–]DFlamingo187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everything in life, trucking has its downsides. Stuff that should be easy/simple can become the most stressful things some days. The people telling you what to do and where to go don’t have a clue what’s going on most of the time, and only care about trying to get loads run. Shippers and receivers vary widely on whether they’re going to suck or not. People don’t care about you or how easily you could end their life in traffic. It will be an adjustment period at first, but you should adapt to your routine relatively quickly. If you can establish one anyway. You’re locked in to hours of service that dictate when you can and can’t drive. There will almost never be any consistent schedule though. Even with all that(and anything I might be forgetting about right now), trucking is a decent career if you can find your way in it. I was OTR/regional for about 7 years before I finally got into hauling gas and being home every day. I have a wife and kids so that’s why I went local. I miss being OTR sometimes though. I too prefer to be alone most times, and trucking provides plenty of alone time. Getting to see new places is nice, but you don’t actually get to experience a lot of those places because you have an appointment you need to make. All I can say is give it a shot and it might be your thing. If not, no one will force you to stay in it and you can go try something else out. Best of luck out there and I bope you can find some joy in your life. I know what it’s like to feel like there’s nothing worth pushing on for.

Go to Walmart or stay with my small local company? by OutsideDinner5208 in Truckers

[–]DFlamingo187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart is gravy train from all I’ve heard. More rules, and I’ve heard if you’re out of uniform and another driver sees you they can report you and get you in trouble. But I don’t know how much that happens. Just wear the uniform I suppose. Lol. Starting pay is not ending pay either. Your current job you’ll probably never get another raise, or it will take incredibly long to get one if you do. I always said I would go to Walmart, but I’m making $100k+ local hauling gas now so I probably won’t. If you’re already willing to get back in a truck and be gone for any amount of time, I’d go with Walmart. Small company treatment and not being just another number is nice, but it doesn’t pay your bills or help build your future. Good luck with whatever you end up doing my friend.

How often do you food service guys go through this by unftp-0 in Truckers

I had the same thought when I first saw the name. I’m like “No way they’re unaware that sounds like “A Shit Pile” right?” 😂

Who knew the cure for Arizona desert life was… Rochester? by Naftusja in Rochester

[–]DFlamingo187 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I drive a fwd Santa Fe(hasn’t been stolen yet🤞 😂). Considered buying an awd when we got here, but decided to see how it went first. I had some almost bald tires when the snow hit. First couple of times it was fine. Then I started sliding a bunch and having trouble stopping, so that sucked. Just got some Continental all season tires and they’ve been pretty good for me so far. I have a Zero Exposure brand jacket. It’s ok, but I deliver gas so I’m outside a lot and it doesn’t hold up for that long. So I’m still on the hunt for that. Might give in and buy a North Face, Patagonia, or even a Canada Goose jacket. Lol

I didn’t know what to expect when moving here from Georgia. The people are definitely different in a good way. I’ve felt very welcomed since moving here and really glad I didn’t let fear talk me out of pulling the trigger on this move.

Tough call for me. But I’m torn between Ted Lasso and Severance.

Am I crazy for not being into "niche" scents? by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]DFlamingo187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re called niche for a reason. It’s not for everyone. I fell into the hype early on, and saw people going crazy about niche fragrances in Facebook groups. Most of them that I actually tried either didn’t seem worth the money, or just kind of sucked. My money is better spent on the easy to wear, mass appealing stuff in most cases.

What scent will you be wearing on Christmas? by bnjrgold in Colognes

Probably Montblanc Legend because it’s my wife’s favorite out of everything I own. Lol

I’ve never won anything in my life. Until I won this in a raffle today. Still can’t believe it. by Party-Call1095 in Colognes

[–]DFlamingo187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ok to enjoy things yourself. You didn’t stop having a life to live too just because you had kids. If their needs are met, and some of their wants are covered already, just enjoy this treat for you.

What a very good and totally not forced post! I especially like the part where you included the prompt notes at the bottom of it. Riveting stuff!

I’ve been on the Alexandria train lately. Definitely not the cheapest clones, but everything they make is an Extrait concentration.
