Same. I was given Vicodin when I had my wisdom teeth out, and I called my dentist the next day to ask for a prescription for a real drug. There’s a reason so many people are dependent on Vicodin - you can function pretty well on it, ‘cause it doesn’t do much.

I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. Worst pain of my life - 4 months of physical therapy. I took oxycontin for much of that time, but got tired of being a zombie. We had to drive over an hour roundtrip to pick up a new prescription each month and so I just didn’t do it at one point. Not too many days without the drug, I crashed really hard at my PT clinic. I couldn’t stop shaking, I couldn’t walk. They called the EMT’s and off I went to the ER in an ambulance. I was going through withdrawal. My ortho put me on tramadol after that, which could be phoned into the pharmacy instead of a handwritten Rx. A scary, unpleasant experience and I hope never to need that pain med again,

Damn, you must have been a really deep shade of blue by the time you read the response. On the plus side, you probably qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records (if such a thing still exists).

Five Guys fries are very good but I find that they get soggy very quickly from just being in that closed bag for even a few minutes. I’m not sure why, but it’s happened every time.

This post was just ‘liked’ so I saw it again. After thinking about it, I suppose I don’t really know if their fries aren’t soggy BEFORE they go in the bag. Anybody here ever worked there or been served the fries without them being in a bag?
Five Guys fries are flabby, not soggy. This happens because they are thick cut and freshly fried, once.
I don’t see what the fuss is about as I much prefer fries that are thinner and crispier.
Actually you’re right. I stand corrected. Not wet, just limp.
Because they are fooking delicious.

“Fast Food” joints are not “Restaurants”
they produce a bunch of stuff on a tray, which may - or may not - resemble “food”
whot?
example:
we did LV Tom Colicchio’s CraftSteak some time back.
did Tom Colicchio’s NYC Craft later - very so-so
we did LV Tom Colicchio’s CraftSteak last year.
total disaster. Wagu steak order medium rare presented with barely any pink.
inedible sides . . .

multiple priors - most excellent
new management, new chef
not good, at all.
(some) high end kitchens have not recovered from the pandemic.
(some) affiliate restos have failed - miserably - to live up to their expectations.
By the way, Buffalo Wild Wings just won a lawsuit over whether they can call their “boneless wings” that when they are breast meat, not boned wings:
Boneless Chicken Wings Lawsuit Ruling
IMHO, the judge ruled incorrectly; I am not alone in this.

BK has gone downhill in southwestern Ontario. I have visited 2 locations over the past 3 years, ordering breakfast sandwiches a couple times, a Whopper, and a Whopper Jr.
BK recently stopped selling breakfast in Ontario. They are currently expanding into suburbs, with small restaurants set up for drive thru rather than dine in. The new location in my end of London, ON has undertrained staff. I won’t go back after 2 visits.
The old BK in the 1980s, that closed over 20 years ago, which was located a mile from this new location, was a large restaurant with a buffet salad bar at one point. The space is now occupied by a Wimpy’s Diner, a chain of diners in Canada which is something like a 2026 Cdn equivalent to a Denny’s or Big Boy.
A & W in Ontario has all day breakfast, and Wendy’s and McDs in Ontario serve breakfast until 11 am.
The Whopper Jrs were very good in the 1980s. I didn’t order too many between 1990 and 2023. I was usually heading to McD’s, Wendy’s, A& W, and Cdn Harvey’s.

I think BK may be serving better food in the UK and in France, than what is being served in ON and some States (maybe all States).
I know a few French ppl in France who like BK. I’ve only used their facilities in the UK. Very clean, at least at the locations I visited . 
Wimpy’s has an interesting history. started in US, but ‘bloomed’ in UK/S Africa…
eventually bought out, many locations converted to Burger King, now BK locations being ‘unconverted’ back to Wimpy’s?
