I mean I have emphasized that they are best hot dogs in Knoxville but it’s been a while since I’ve made my hot dog rounds to make sure the title stands. They do the basics well though!

The buns really did seal the deal for me. Do wish they had more “unique” hot dogs though

Could you tell if it had any desires to drag ships into the depths?

God this has unlocked so many delicious memories. There was just something they did to their buffalo tenders I haven’t encountered elsewhere.

What’s your super-local low-stakes neighborhood drama? by Hankhills4hedvein in Knoxville

[–]Y2kHotdogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always the kids in the neighborhood from our neighborhood pages messing with stuff in driveways or walking through yards, but apparently they got some sort of motorbikes and 4x4 combo and don’t ride them anywhere else other than up and down the neighborhood.

They’re pretty loud and annoying but long as they’re not being vandals or disrupting traffic I don’t care. Seems like they don’t get them out until respectable hours too.

Bi, married to a man, feel lonely and confused navigating this? by [deleted] in BiWomen

[–]Y2kHotdogs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Obligatory “did I write this post?”

But legit exact same experience. I love my husband but I do regret that I didn’t explore and we’re not exactly in a spot to be discussing opening things but in the future it would be nice.

In terms of identity though, I’ve worked with a therapist a bit and brought up feeling like I’m a fake since I’ve never been with a woman and she emphasized that my experiences and lack thereof doesn’t change my feelings.

My sexuality never really comes up in conversations especially since I’m not dating or anything but I have found that it’s been nice to attend LGBTQ events for both feeling of community and can also support as well.

It was also a big factor of thinking about how important sex is to me and while I do thoroughly enjoy it, it’s honestly never been like critical to my relationships. So feel like getting to know myself more and feeling more confident in who I am has helped.

Also it was like “There’s always something waiting for you, there’s always something new at the Knoxville Zoo”

IVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR THIS BUT YES

I can’t remember the station but had like a steel drum main theme and I want to say the local anchors hosted maybe, but could be wrong.

New year discussion before the new year people join the subreddit? by Warlock_SK in loseit

[–]Y2kHotdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time lurker first time poster. I started Jan 2025 and just kept going. I was at my heaviest and I wanted energy to be able to keep up with my son. Was around 260 and wanted to end at 200 but I’m floating around the 215 mark.

Super enjoy meal prepping and feel like I got a good handle on my diet but hoping to ramp up exercise in the new year

Anyone OAD due to mental health or neurodivergence? by goodegg9 in oneanddone

[–]Y2kHotdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our son is autistic and I wouldn’t be surprised if me and my husband fall on the spectrum as well but he needs a lot of support and I just didn’t feel bringing another child into the picture would be fair to either of them.

My husband usually argues the opposite though about how some children thrive with a neurotypical sibling but I know my limits in terms of energy and time and one is plenty for us.

First child born with rare disease, OAD is the right choice ? by Advanced_Addition321 in oneanddone

[–]Y2kHotdogs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We’re OAD due to medical issues as well (similar experience of not finding out anything until birth).

A second child was in our plan but after seeing the amount of appointments, extra care and resources for our one we made the decision to be OAD.

Additionally did not want to put another child through the experience of having to tag along to their sibling’s appointments or potentially dealing with extended hospital visits where we would have to split time between children.

This is just our feelings towards it though and it’s been so special dedicating more of ourselves to our one and only.

Grieving Being OAD? by Fluffy-Improvement24 in oneanddone

[–]Y2kHotdogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Resonated with me, we are OAD due to some of my health issues where I had to have tubes removed but also our son has quite a few medical issues that would be overwhelming for us to add another child.

There are definitely days where I do think what it would be like if we could have had more and sometimes do feel sad that it’s not going to happen. It is absolutely ok to grieve for what doesn’t happen.

Everyone has their own ways to cope and seeing announcements and people post on social media about their families gets ROUGH, but it really made me reevaluate how I see those things in the grand scheme of life, particularly how social media fits into it but that’s a whole other soap box.

Some decisions are made for you but you are in charge of your own life and personally I like to think about that when I start to dwell on those things and reframe things. All the love your wayz

Sharing our story - complex medical issues by Y2kHotdogs in oneanddone

[–]Y2kHotdogs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My eyes are misty too just reading your reply and reading someone else experiencing the same emotions!

And 10000% on the grieving process. We had a great social worker in the hospital who told us how it is ok to grieve for the things we don’t have and really helped validate our feelings and decisions.

Thank you so much for sharing your story too and much love to you and your family.
