I got a 16,000baud "Turbo" modem.  Most dialup DOS boards it was fine; most
giving me 14.4 speed, but some read their connect strings left to right &
connected me at 1.6!(matching 1600 then connecting) (oyyy!); most of those
sysops edited it so I got true 16K connects.

Here it is requested you keep your mask on until food & drink arrive, or at
least until you're seated at your booth(if a booth)

I wear my mask asa a rule, but I lower it when in bwetween destinations & no
people about. . . & enjoy the cool fresh air hitting my face, drying the 
sweat from my last indoor time.

Use the "Search" function on the app to see all they have (first categories,
then each category has a list of restaurants(some crosslap)

I like "American" or "Healthy" for a good selection; not much overlap in 
those two, for some reason. . .

They now deliver groceries, too.

Then for your visits, I would've opened the window & stop smoking an hour

Good. I don't consider them to be "vices"; they CAN be, if mis-used.

My philosophy is "moderation in all things"; as a former tobacco addict, my
moderation level is zero.

For alcohol, it's about 2-4ml/week on average.

Food is good!

One quickie snack I like is I put 2 eggs into a ramiken, beat them into
homgenized liquid, mix in 1tsp of habanero sauce & a few quartered mushrooms 
& some 1cc cheese cubes.  Then 2m10s in the microwave(Baby Chernobyl) & put 
it bwtwen two pieces of toast (thin smear of Miracle Whip on eah toast
optional -- usually )omitted for time.

Quick, healthy,. tasty -- just what I love -- McDonalds offers those same 3
quyalities for all their menu items, but you can only get 2 in any one item 
in any fast food chain. . .

It's, essentially, a quickie (not quiche) omelet. . .

Omelets:

My brother-in-law taught his offspring a seasoning that is an excellent
addition to omelets and egg strata...
It was good father-son-thyme.

Eulogy of an egg
He died last fry day. Thank God he wasn't beaten. Don't worry, he went over
easy. He's now on the sunny side. He's definitely in a better plate.

An egg breakup is hard, but after that..
It’s over easy

I hope you found these puns to be an eggselent use of the ObJoke tradition. .
