Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

[AttyPops]

Good morning CES, Fran, and chopped-liver.

Glad you made it safely, CES. I had pizza last night too. It was a $30 Chicago-style deep-dish that serves 4 (and there were 4 of us)...but I bet you had better service. It was a new location, still not up to speed I guess. The other location I've been to was much better. Pizza was good, and it was less of a wait than you had (...took us slightly under 4 hours including travel time)

Good morning, Tibs, Fran, Kat, Dale, CES, Bear & Atty!

Morning Gracie.

... $30 Chicago-style deep-dish that serves 4 (and there were 4 of us) ...

"Serves 4".

So that means there were four (4) pieces if they followed FDA guidelines.
Or, $7.50 per piece.

the FDA and their "serving size" recommendations.

..........

Oh... and back home before 07h50... so, great timing. Now, the wait for
the call that the car is ready.

 

[SilverBear]

Something amusing about that???

8 slices (2 each) which is plenty for that style of pizza.

Wow!!! 2 pieces = 1 serving. Very generous!

I like how those small bags of potato chips are labeled as TWO servings.
There are - what - 10 chips in a bag. I'm sure people across the country
eat 5 chips and put the rest away for the next day. Or that two people
share one bag.

I bought a container of those pretzel rods. Serving: 2 AND A HALF pretzels.
HALF. So I promptly broke one into two pieces and put one back in the
container. Yep... I sure did.

Late G'mornin, snails!

Fly by...late to work & no opportunity for read-back so far. ~~~~~~

 

[SilverBear]

Hope it goes smoothly for you.

Call said it will be ready in a couple of hours.

LOL!!!

A "couple of hours" for ALL that was wrong?!?!

Now *why* do I feel dubious about that?

I wonder how long before the idiot lights all come back on
like a High Mass at The Vatican.

I'm still chugging along. Got a few pieces of firewood inside.Showing signs of slight energy...........

At least you have some energy in sight

 

[FranC]

Sure better than nothing

 

[SilverBear]

Call said it will be ready in a couple of hours.

Posted that at 10h32... and that was a bit AFTER they called.

"Couple of hours".

Doesn't "couple" = 2???

14h57 now.

Hmmmm.

 

[daleron]

Doesn't "couple" = 2???

Apparently not

Don't feel bad, we've got a car that's been at the shop for over three weeks now

 

[SilverBear]

Him: "It should be ready by 17h00, 95-99%"

Me: "And if it's not, how do I get home since the shuttle shuts off at 16h30?"

Him: "Duhhhh-aieee...

I don't know."
