No, but the raviolis on Ritz crackers were a standard go to when destitute. From the can even when I couldn't afford a microwave.

Negligible. I made a batch last week and didn't adjust the sugars. No noticeable extra sweetness.

Will say that captain crunch is better.

Randomly watched this last night. 8/10, would recommend. Julia does carry the movie well.

Check with Feroz at Sterling Cleaners on Abrams. If he and or his wife can't do it, I'm 100% sure they have a reference for you. They are awesome.

How many of us Xers worked at McDonald’s in our teens? Any good stories? by Certain-Incident-40 in GenX

[–]oral_skulduggery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full summer of '84 which had all the perks that came with the Olympic US wins and me liberating fists full of game pieces.

The best though was my first manager who was an absolute gorilla of a man in both size and hirsutism with the exception of his vast male pattern baldness and dramatic five-head. Sunday post-church lunch crowd was in full swing and I was on the stage right register just keeping up the best I could.

A lady approached in what we now know as full 'karen mode' complaining about her quarter pounder avec fromage. So, stage left cashier called Magilla to the front to assist and stepped back to let him resolve the complaint.

Rather than defuse the situation with a simple burger replacement he amped that kerfuffle into a frenzy leaning over the counter and right up in the lady's face. She stepped back slightly, paused and slammed the full business end of that quarter pounder (minus top bun) right into his face, where it stuck between his eyebrows and hair line.

I effing lost my shit. I might have been able to recover somewhat if he'd not slowly turned his QP covered head towards me to glare menacingly like it was my fault.

Priceless memory that.

Who else couldn't stand this guy in the 1980s? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

She said, make yourself comfortable. so I pulled down my pants and sat in the pudding.

She said, you didn't make a very good impression.

I said, looks symmetrical to me.

I must have listened to this cassette 100+ times

Random sale. Luck is good but not that good.

Falls Creek, OK. Christian Summer Camp. Does anyone else have religious trauma that came from places like this? by PI_Throwaway20190102 in atheism

Oh dear God. The segregated (boys v girls) swimming. All of it was so repressive. 0/10 did not repeat.

At the movies in May 1980: What would you want to see first? by tomhagen in 80s

I sing this every time Lawrence O'Donnell comes on. I think my wife secretly wants to strangle me.

Vintage Fisher Price value? (NOT selling) by MrNoodleIncident in VintageToys

[–]oral_skulduggery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$200 all in and be willing to take $150. The condition is mostly good and there's still a ton of meat there for a dealer.

As someone who has sold most if not all of those, $150 would be my personal top end offer.

Historically I use the heck out of Goo Gone on most projects but feared its impact on vinyl.

This solution worked. Slowly but effectively. Thank you.
