I used to love em, but your right, now the meat is pathetic and every time I have one it just gives me indigestion. Whoppers were better for a while, but they’ve gotten just as bad and I was disappointed with Wendy’s recently as well.

The high end burger places are still good, but for that money I’ll just go ahead and stay home and make my own. Seeing the same thing with a lot of stuff not just fast food.

Movies - better to stay home/less expensive
Sports - always better to stay home/if it’s even worth watching anymore
Banks - no need, hit an atm or do it online
Shopping - amazon/ebay gets me a better price

I think we’ll (we being society in general) end up becoming even more self focused then we already are and our social skills will atrophy. You can already see it in the way people interact on social media - the distance removes the normal boundaries.

In huge agreement. I haven't been to the movies since the last Harry Potter though if hubby has free tickets, he'll go with his buddies. Shopping is a rarity but online is the best for out here. Have too much stuff already.

I just posted a Big Mac Salad recipe we enjoy because there's no McD's here. We don't have a Scholtsky's either so I've posted a Schlotsky's recipe with a homemade sourdough bun on FR many times. I can make about 5 homemade sandwiches for the cost of one of theirs at the drive thru.

In fact, most everything is made from scratch here though the convenience of canned spaghetti sauce, ketchup, dried pasta and boxed cake mix is nice.
