How about that!?!? I HAD NO IDEA. I'm surprised that WaWa which originated in PA has made it down south as far as Florida.

I'm bummed. Never seen nor been to, a WaWa.

I had a chocolate cheesecake today... yum!

@93boomer, I'm trying to figure out the photo (your avatar). It's coming out a bit dark and I can't make out what it is.

@FutureCEO , don't read this article . . . especially the listing of states (under the map, about halfway down the page) . . .

P.S.: I don't agree with the ranking.

Sorry it needs help! Another view.

Well, according to what MySmallWorldof4 just shared, it does make an occasional appearance on ESPN.

Bowling was definitely more popular years ago. Like yourself, I also recall it being on local TV stations -- competitions on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I rarely ever played, but liked watching it on TV.

I know at one point (at least up here) bowling alleys tried a resurgence with funky lighting, loud music, better snack bars, etc., to try and lure in a younger crowd. Results were mixed, but basically, the heydays were over. The bowling alleys are still around, but not nearly as much as in the past.

It’s too expensive!!! That’s the problem with it. We bowl once every couple of months, but I always hate the price.. there’s so much more to do for the same money.

Any reason that you care to share? I actually love the aroma. Walking past a Starbucks or similar business is a pleasure.....and I will admit that on the rare occasion that my wife treats herself to a specialty coffee....caramel frappuccino(spelling??)....she let's me have a sip and that's good! If we are on a multi hour road trip she'll sometimes ask me to stop for that. It's not a part of her daily life.
Regular coffee I feel never has taste that lives up to the aroma.....i.e. Nescafe crystals stirred into a mug of boiling water....nah. Even Wawa "regular" coffee just does not interest me.

Have you had a Yankee Candle coffee flavor? It smells just like fresh brewed coffee.

The like is for sharing music my grandparents liked. Runs and hides under large rock

Ouch... however, that was the last hit for Peggy Lee and was in late 1969. She hadn't recorded anything for years. It was just a song that happened to catch a lot of us in a pretty stressful time of our lives. So, yes, she was a favorite of my parents, but, it wasn't part of that era. And remember that she was the voice for "He's a Tramp" in Lady and the Tramp.

Like the pop song says: "What are you waitin' for?"

(Edit.....came back to add to the post that I've now got that song "stuck" in my head)

Does anyone have a good recipe for dessert? I need to make something for a party!

Can't you find a better countdown subject ? How about something people like, such as national cake with lots of frosting day, or national barbecue ribs day? Sheesh . . .

 

[donaldtoo]

And not necessarily for the better either . . . (Resonding to the end of your quote -- highlighted in red.)

Yep...change...what a concept!
The difference between good change and bad change being interpreted differently since the beginning of human history...!!!!!

One of the bowling alley near us is doing a summer bowling pass. My mom's doing it with my brother and one of his friends for the summer. Helps with the cost.

OK gang, I be out...!
Sweet dreamin' and/or mornin' to all, and tomorrow's Half-day Friday...!!!!!
Laterrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!!!!!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

For all the grief you got over the car.

Ugh. I'm so glad the drama with that is over. They left for vacation yesterday. He and I have not talked since. Some time apart is a good thing. My mom and I have talked both days and have texted periodically all day.

Speaking of the Mets, apparently we're playing a series against them and going to one of the games in the series. I figured it out when the tickets showed up in the mail today.

I once ordered a package, and forgot about! I didn’t open it until 4 days after it delivered!
