Remember When?

[JerryNumbers]

There once was an old truck stop in California, it had the best biscuits, sausage gravy, of any that I ever had. Linda was with me one trip and I stopped there telling her to order 2 biscuits with sausage gravy. She agreed, they were great.

I might add, the truck stop was not much to look at, yet the food was good, and plentiful for the price you paid.

They had 2 A& W in Texarkana, it was cool, the mugs all frosted up, filled with cold root beer. Quite a hang out for teenagers in yesterday years. Being way over there I did not get there often.

Our Sonic has some that use skates, I don't go there often, yet I've seen one girl that is always on skates and she gets around on them wonderfully, much faster than those that walk.

I remember before they had value meals and you had to be creative in your selection at McDonalds, when the hot computer was a Commadore 64, and "Pong" was cool. I'm still young though. :)

Oh yeah I was working at McD's when they created Value Meals! I think it was either during the Olympics or during a Basketball Championship...can't remember which one it was.

I remember when VHS was the new thing and BETA was the old.

Oh yeah! I remember saving my money so I could finally buy a record player stereo that also had 8-track!

How about reel to reel, and who ever heard of a "Honda" motorcycle.

A cup of coffee wasn't any good with out grounds in the bottom of the cup.

One thing I loved back then were the perculators! Loved the sound and scent :coffee2:

I still remember the day if you spoke the word, McDonalds, Everyone would think of, 'Old McDonald Had a Farm,' EE-I-EE-I-O.

Besides, that next to the worse place I ever ate.

I'll eat at McDonalds long before I'll eat at most buffets....75% of which are dirty and unsanitary and stinky and full of cheap fake food.

At least McDonalds fake food tastes pretty good and at least the restaurants don't smell like nursing homes. haha.

I remember when the words "fast food" left you scratching your head! Before they had these fast food chains, people really ate good portions, and paid a decent price. Those were the days....

(Excuse me, I'm getting hungry!)

Ah, yes, perked coffee - so much better than brewed! My grandma always put a shake of salt in hers for some reason, but it was tasty.

I remember, as a kid, being so excited to go to A&W for a hamburger - it was a drive-in, and they brought the tray to the car window and stuck it on. What an unusual treat! (there's a drive-in like that here in town, but the food is icky) And if there was a bottle of pepsi in the fridge - wow! (and, of course, the bottle was glass...)

[Bro Jim]

The shake of salt was to mellow the taste, sometimes egg shell was used too. Then there is cowboy coffee, a hand full of grounds in the pot filled with water and a stick put across the top of the pot to keep it from boiling over.

Ahh, peculated coffee, they don't make it like that any more. It was somewhat comforting to hear the percolator on a quiet morning, and smell the fresh aroma of coffee. That, and the old tick-rock of a wind-up clock broke the silence of the night.

I walked through the dinning hall just the other day in a nursing home just prior to supper being served, the food smelled quite good, and several were setting at their tables with their forks in their hands.
