Just listened to one of the “newer” episodes

In album 70-something. It’s the one where Whit* makes Connie a manager.

Wow… it is just awful. Truly awful. There is no color left in the show. No warmth. The script is terrible … Connie is talking about how they need a new employee and in walks a woman who immediately says she needs a job and are they hiring. ugh. The dialogue has ZERO character. Even the voice acting is terrible (though I think this is largely due to poor writing). Everything is “airy”.

What has happened to this once great show? I know some of the talent has passed away, but did all the writers leave too? And the producers?

I would say it’s a shell of itself, but that’s too kind. It’s not even a shell.

So what happens after 2 days in recovery?

I waited the 2 days it told me to wait for recovery mode … but that has since passed and I don’t know what i’m supposed to do now? Am I supposed to get a link? A letter in the mail? A phone call?

Dolly Parton’s Chicken and Dumplings

I forgot to take a pic before I started eating, that’s why it looks sparse. But wow was this good! Probably the most flavorful gravy I have had in any frozen meal.

Marie Calendars Beef Pot Roast

Not bad, but the gravy is gelatinous instead of a smooth gravy. The gelatinous “goop” feeling just turns me off a bit, even though it tastes okay. THE LAST PICTURE IS A COMPARISON TO DOLLY PARTON’S that I had yesterday. You can see the difference in gravy and overall appearance.

Tattooed Chef Spicy Vodka Bowl

I threw it away. The sauce tasted kinda fake too me. The noodles were cooked perfectly though. I think this is one of the meals that some people would love and others would hate with very little inbetween.

Dolly Parton’s Beef Pot Roast

Home run! Just needs a little salt and pepper and it a very tasty snack.

For the older listeners: Have you ever gotten used to the new Mr Whittaker?

Might be an unpopular opinion but just venting.

I have been listening to Adventure in Odyssey since the 90’s. I assume I am one of the older listeners on here. Anyway, that means I have listened to all 3 iterations of Mr. Whittaker. The first two were nearly indistinguishable. I can listen to episodes back-to-back from both of them and not hear much of a difference (if at all).

But the new Whit they hired many years after…. I have never been able to get used to. He just sounds nothing like the Mr. Whittaker I grew up loving. I have never been able to listen to the new episodes because of it. It’s like they ruined Odyssey. The new Whit simply does not have the warmth of the first 2 Whits. It’s not the same. At all. Not even remotely close.

When the first actor for Whit died, they altered the plot to send Whit to an archeological dig. This allowed them time to find a new Whit. In the meantime, they brought in Jack Allen, who filled the grandfatherly wisdom role. That was smart! They should have done that again.

I still listen to the old episodes (approximately 1-650). But I wish they didn’t ruin Whit.

Healthy Choice Simply Steamers Meatball Marinara

Taste was okay, but I felt it needed a bit more sauce. Felt a bit dry. Very spinach-heavy so if you love spinach you may like this.

Amy’s Cheese Enchilada’s

Small but tasty! Nice crispy edges. I really like everything Amy’s makes.

Stouffer’s fettucine alfredo

Surprisingly creamy and good. I would have added a dash of parm cheese if I had it.

evol Truffle Parmesan Mac & Cheese

Pitifully small amount (barely a snack) but the taste was so good I gave it a 10/10 anyway. WARNING: If you don’t like the taste of truffle, you will hate this. But I love truffle. Absolutely love it. And this was delicious.

Yellowstone After The Radio

Look at the size of the chicken in this! It’s also filling at 15oz. As for taste, pretty good. It does need some salt and pepper but after that it was good to go.

Is FSD listening to us!?

Was driving with my wife and we saw a deer in the distance, running very fast. I joked “that deer looks like he is running from the cops”. Immediately, the car pulled over, as if there was police near us. There was no police.

Or it’s complete coincidence that it pulled over for a shadow when I said “cops”. Idk.

Not a good start to 14.3.5

Just updated last night and on the second drive it went down a one way (in the wrong direction).

Officially an over the gut pants guy now

Before and after. Thanks to all your advice I went out today and bought new pants to go around my belly button instead of under. I think it actually does make a difference.

Beecher Cacio E Pepe

This is very good! I’m impressed. However, I am a pasta lover so grain of salt.

Note: You have to wait at least 5 minutes after microwaving to let the cheese solidify a bit. This picture is right out of the microwave. It became much creamer over time.

Pants over belly or under?

In another post, many of you recommended I purchase larger pants and hike them up over my belly. So I purchased larger pants and am showing you the difference to see if you still think the higher pants looks better.

NOTE: You may have to click the pic to see the full view.

Big men’s fashion advice

Hello. I was recommended to this sub by the mens fashion advice reddit. Looking for any tips you can give me on my professional wardrobe. Some folks in that sub mentioned getting larger pants and wearing them over my belly. This *feels* counterintuitive to what i’ve always been told, but perhaps they’re right! Any other tips?
