Dieting is hard. They don't make it easy.


Jan 22, 2020, 12:12 PM

As a traveler of the state, it is necessary to find a good fast food salad that meets the requirements of my diet. Wendy's used to have a BLT Cobb salad that was literally perfect. No more.

So this time around I scanned and found acceptable salads at McDonald's and Burger King. Panera too. Wendy's is out as their salads all are not acceptable. ANYWAY...

Went to the nearby McDonalds the other day and ordered their Grilled Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad. Was told "We ain't got no salads". Fine. Go literally across the street to the Burger King. Ordered their Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. They said "We ain't got no chicken".

I cant stay away from airport burgers. They get me every time. And typically a burger means and beer and a beer means more beer and that means shots and then I am hammered getting on the plane.

There is no excuse for a chain restaurant to be out of a menu item.

The McDonalds in Duncan used to run out of Sprite regularly. They probably still do but I quit going.


Hit Publix - their deli makes pretty good salads.

I think they thought I was a faggut when I ordered one. They asked me what I wanted on it, so I named off the sides... Then she says, "what about lettuce???" Lol, I thought that was understood.


The salad was grody. I took two bites and chunked it in the trash.

Ahh...good old Tommy's Truck Stop (RIP)


Jan 22, 2020, 2:29 PM

Now called Circle C or something. Been stopping at that gas station for almost 40 years now when I go hunting. Place is a dump now. Was at one time a hoping place in the 80's. PACKED with big rigs off 95. See, back in the 80's there was a prostitution ring that operated there. In the back near the drink coolers is a desk and a base station CB radio. Used to be a nasty chainsmoking redneck woman who manned that desk and CB every time I went there. She was calling truckers in off 95 for a little "fun", and a "good time". Think she was the pimp of the operation.

They got busted once, like around 1990. But that little desk sat there for a decade or more afterwards even though I never saw the trashy woman or anyone on the CB. I think they finally removed the desk and CB radio, not sure.

And there used to be an Emu at the Penny Pincher at Cannadays Crossroads. You could go buy some crackers and feed it. Was in a fenced in area. Was cool to stop there as a kid. Someone eventually shot the bird though.

Then you had Ben's Super Store. Can't remember if that was at the Cannady's Crossroads or at Round O. Used to stop in and see old Ben. Place closed and they had a sign in the door that said "Closed for Remodeling". As a kid I kept asking dad when they'd reopen, and I saw no remodeling going on.
lol. That sign sat there for 12-20 years until the roof eventually fell in. I think the shell of the place is still there on the side of the road.
