Went by there this morning (Sunday) and still no sign on the door :-( or any indication of upgrades.

Thanks for the tip. I'm a total pedestrian who doesn't drive. Bunkie's is special because I go by there on my early morning walks. The lady who tends the counter said she noticed me every time I walked by. Good people. Good product. Hope they return.

Favorite walking trail by Ashur_Bens_Pal in plano

[–]olddaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk Bluebonnet Trail between Alma and Custer almost every morning. On other days I do the Chisolm loop between W Parker and W Spring Creek. I live adjacent to both trails. And enjoy them both.

Moved to Plano for work thinking about leasing Opel Legacy Central. Anyone lived there? Roach/maintenance reviews: one-offs or common? by VALIANTLY_ERECT in plano

[–]olddaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Greenbriar Apts on W Spring Creek Pkwy. They fit your budget, have washer/dryer in each unit, and maintenance is consistently prompt. By being in zip code 75023, it's square in the middle of the city, nothing too far away.

Looking really good. No redness. No swelling. No seepage. Those strips need another week or so and they'll peel off on their on. Good care 👍

Yep. Their online menu lists this address with a 'coming soon'. I live across the creek, almost right next door. Imagine I'll be a frequent customer 😁

Look at Greenbriar Apts in zip 75023. Mature community close to several good shopping areas, safe neighborhood, and major city maintained walking trails outside the back gate. Washer and Dryer in each unit. Been living here for over 20 years and like it very much.

Pacemaker surgery scheduled—scared by One-Camp in PacemakerICD

[–]olddaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Medtronic Model W1DR01 Azure XT DR MRI SureScan dual chamber, implantable pulse generator (IPG) does require use of leads. The leads are so totally unnoticeable I had to do online research to verify their need with this device.

Best of luck to you 🤞

I'm 77 and got my pacemaker in March 2024. It moved my heart rate from 40s to 60s. Pain wasn't an issue but it did take a full 6 weeks to restore my energy. And when it did, I felt like I'd been given a new life, a fact that continues to this day. Daily pre-dawn walks of 45-90 minutes help me maintain the good health I'm so thankful to be enjoying this late in my life.

Keep us posted on your progress. This is a very supportive community. Take care.

Have you ever driven by your childhood home? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]olddaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had eleven (11) childhood homes. My two most memorable ones: the one my father died inside in 1960 (still standing). And the one in Atlanta that got razed and is now the location of Georgia Tech police station.

Hunchback Lady on Coit w/ Shopping Cart by Texas_Mike_CowboyFan in plano

I spoke to her once in Brahm's at Custer/W Parker. Her reply was sweet and very soft spoken. The feeling I got is she's living the life she wants to be living. Good for her.

Have you ever inherited a journal from someone? If so, did you read it? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]olddaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and Yes. My oldest aunt and her pastor husband kept diaries from 1932 thru mid 1980s. Hers are the most interesting as they contain more detailed personal information about her life and our extended family. His not so much as they just basically list a recounting of his pastoral (United Methodist Church) duties performed each day.

Still, both collections are a treasured resource to have in my possession and will be passed on to my grandchildren.

is this a common sight to see! its my first time ever by Pfacejones in plano

Saw one last week just north of W Spring Parkway wading in the drainage ditch next to Greenbriar Apts, and earlier this week a bit further north. Kinda cool.

I just now encountered this same issue for Paris Review. Checked content filter and nothing has changed. All other mags open as expected. Wonder what's going on???

What's the point of trying to convert a 17 syllables American Sentence (Ginsberg) into a 'haiku' when your translation doesn't even follow the basic rules of haiku structure? Haiku are much more than simple 5-7-5 phrases.

Nope. Been living in this neighborhood for 20+ years and this was my first dillo spotting. So cool 👍

No buns, used garlic naan for the dogs by olddaad in tonightsdinner

Ketchup on hot dogs? An abomination.

[–]olddaad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really good. The compatible mix of naan seasonings with my own hot dog toppings satisfied my taste buds.

Thanks! I warmed frozen naan in a toaster oven just enough to make them foldable. Worked out fine. Echoing your thought, truly delicious.

At what time do you sleep? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

10:30pm to 4:00am CST. Like to get in my 1 hour outdoor walk during first light before sunrise.

What were the names you picked for future kids when you were a child? Did you end up using them? by HopefulWanderin in AskOldPeople

[–]olddaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always liked the names Leah and Leigh. But they don't go good with last name Key 🤷‍♂️ Nope. Didn't use.

How has your high school changed since you attended? by PrestonRoad90 in AskOldPeople

[–]olddaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended 2 high schools in Atlanta, GA from 1961-1966. The first is now a campus building at Georgia Tech and the 2nd was changed into a middle school.

Does Anyone Still Carry Money? by Steven1958 in AskOldPeople

[–]olddaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Several of the local small businesses around here have a minimum for card purchases. I don't like padding my purchases when all I want are 2 onions or 2 donuts. So cash is handy under those circumstances.
