Daniel,welcome to the Diner! I really like hearing about that kind of store.
Makes me remember what I grew up with,instead of Target,Wal-Mart,K-Mart,
Meijers,etc.Stores like that really were/are the way to go;people knew you,and
treated you quite well.Right know;I only know of one store that basicly treats
you that way;a hardware store very close to us,frequent it when I can. If they
don't have it,you probably don't want,or need it.(unfortunately,no trains)

Scott,your interview sounds like it went well,hope you get that job,if that's
what you want.

Hey Daniel once again [#welcome] so how's the weather down over in your neck of the woods[4:-)]

[cherokee woman]

Daniel, [#welcome] to the Diner! Always glad to have new people come in and
visit. Hope you will become a regular. The store you work at, sounds a lot like
my granddaddy's store he had down in Tennessee. Always loved going in there,
whenever we went to visit in the summertime. Bet he's got one up in Heaven,
rest his soul. Is everyone enjoying their supper tonight?

Okay, to all of those who mentioned it, I still work at the train store. But, it is only the first Saturday of the month, since it is an hour and a half away. I can't make that commute often, so I need a closer job.

News with Bose;

My interview when very well. I was told that I was very mature, and would be an excellent candidate for the job. I have two more interviews to go to before they decide to hire me, one with the manager, and one to recite a live script for the Bose Music Theater, and then I'll be called whenever...

If I do get the job, I'll be paid $10 an hour, with bonuses and group commission. The assistant manager told me that I could make up to $20,000 a year if I work 20 hours a week![:D][:D]

I WANT TO WORK HERE![:D]

[railfan619]

Hey everybody how we be doin fine I hope well anyway tomorrow is finally friday the last day of the week yea. But any who I think I may have found a girl friend which is avery good thing for me yea but yeah. I guess I'll be going now so I can find for dinner so I will see you all later [:D][:D]

[espeefoamer]

Back in the early 70s there was an ice cream parlor chain called Farrel's.They had green river sodas.I usually ordered one as I really liked them.I have never seen green river soda since Farrel's folded[:(].

[locomutt]

Sarah,

Don't feel bad about not hearing about "Green River Soda",I've
not heard of it either. Now "Ale- 8" is another story.
I think all of our "Breaded Fish" is Trout,but will have to check.
Weather here today was about same as you;supposed to be cooler tomorrow.

Scott; realize you will be reading this after the interview,but sincerely hope
it went well.Personally,I was more interested in the one at the hobby shop.
That one sounds like a "Dream Job".

[CSXrules4eva]

Carl, I have to say this but I've never heard of Green River soda before??? But, I have heard of Sprite, Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew.....and all the other brand names out there. This Green River sort of reminds me of the Schuylkill River, which is also green. If you want you can have plenty of Green River over here in the great city of Philadelphia, and it's free!!!!!!! lol

It was hott over here today!! It went up to 98 degrees w/ humidity. I had to work in a shop all day w no AC, so it felt like 120 degrees in the shop, espeacilly when people decide to run 10 eninges at the same time, way to go!! lol

CW I think I'll have the breaded fish. Is it flounder?? I think I'll have some of those fries too. I'll take the ice cream as well.

[JoeKoh]

bose???? what happened to the train job???good luck scott.matt wants some of everything for supper tonight.hes going through a growth spurt.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Okay, I'm letting you know what is ready for supper tonight:

1. Lasagna with side salad

2. Fish (w/or w/out bread) and fries. (Joe, have made sure I have
plenty of fries, just for Matt).

Dessert tonight: brownies w/vanilla ice cream

Scott, hope your interview with Bose went well.

I was wondering where Kevin has been lately too, Good to see you here again.

I've got a question...For quite some time when I "come to the dinner" I will click on the last page indicated in the topic. But when the page opens up I find that there is more pages. I then have to click on the real last page again. As an example the topic will show 402 as the last page, but when I open it 404 is the actual last page. This is getting irritating.[banghead]
Does this happen to everyone? or is it just me? Is there a way I can fix this?
I'm guessing this is caused by deleted posts. Anybody know?
I guess I should have said I have a few questions.[;)]

Try clicking on the blue-green arrow next to the last poster's name on the far right side of the thread; that will take you directly to the last post.

Hey, neet trick. That will come in handy. Thanks for the tip Equinox.[8D]

Scott - good luck....

BC - is that what it was - just lime flavoring? I could figure the green food color, but thought it was something a little more exotic. Used to sit in Kresge's/Woolworth's at the lunch counter and sip one from the time the counter was taller than I was to the time I could actually get my elbows on the counter. Then they tore them down....

No justice!

I think this is because it takes roughly four or five posts on the newest page for the thread to recognize it, and update its page count on the main page. I have seen this happen frequently, but it always fixes itself after there are a number of posts on that page. Just a thought...[^]

I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW WITH BOSE STEREO TODAY AT 3:30! WISH ME LUCK![:D]

[CShaveRR]

SJ--

There is a bottle of diet Green River in my fridge as we speak! My favorite barbecue place has Green River as one of the choices at its self-serve soft-drink machine.

As for ingredients, are you referring to the lime flavor, or the horrendous green food coloring that dyes everything in your digestive tract?

[coborn35]

I was about to ask the same thing.
Also happens in the MR's version of the diner.

Ham and chees omlet, no cold cereal.

[Mookie]

Omelet - well done, please. Hate gooey eggs - not crazy about eggs in the first place.

Tree - they do a lot of that in Omaha - poor guy standing there shivering in the winter or dying in the summer - and we always have wind so they have a tendency to lean a little, permanently.

Lincoln has no news or weather.

CW - order 2 - and we will work on the lottery, too!

A TV station in Syracuse does its weather reports from the "Weather Deck" - outside. If it's snowing, you can see it fall...

A couple of our stations here in they city have;"Weather Gardens",
but it seems they don't transmit from there as much as they should.

Kev and the couch back at the same time,great!! Wondering where
the couch was,need to go take a nap.

Ham and cheese omelet sounds great,please put me down
for one.

[tree68]

Ham and cheese omelet sounds delicious - especially with some of that 4X sharp cheddar! I'll take some sausage links on the side, too. And maybe some hash browns... Whole wheat toast? Tall glass of OJ to wash it all down. Better hurry up - I'm making my self really hungry.

[JoeKoh]

Kev
glad your back! the couch is where you left it.I just feel like a ham and cheese omlet today.anyone else?
stay safe
joe

[coborn35]

We had some bad weather down,er,up here, big storm, but it passed, we all went swimming in Lake Superior, then it started raining again. Looks really nice now though.
Ill take the cold cereal, susage and toast.
Hey Paula, could you possibly get a poor boy going to the championship baseball game 200 miles away some good scoff?:) I need all my energy.

Mookie, maybe I'll have to try to get one of those elevating wheelchairs. Saw one
within the last week on Good Morning America. The young girl pushed a control
on her chair, and it "stands up" on the back wheels, so that she is eye-level with
her friends and family. Better start buying lottery tickets, so I can afford the chair!!

Breakfast this morning is the last of the cantalope I've got on hand, and the last of
the watermelon that I have also; along with your choice of cold cereal, sausage,
biscuits & gravy, and toast.

Lunch today will be: beef stew and cornbread with garden salad, and there's plenty
of the spinach salad I made yesterday for Carl, if anyone else wants some spinach
salad.

The coffee is on, orange juice made, along with apple juice, orange-pineapple,
and orange-tangerine juices.

Haven't planned far ahead enough to post the supper menu for tonight. That will
come around or after lunch today.

Everybody have a good day, stay as cool as possible, and keep yourselves safe!

BTW, Kev, so very glad to see you back!! Now, don't stay away so long, all
right?!?![:D]

[Mookie]

Cool weather has arrived and headed east! A little rain north of us, but none here.

I see Kevin is back and IronKen, too! That's nice to see!

CW - you will be about Mookie's height if you continue - but that is on all fours. (Real life is about 5'4-5'5.) We will get you a sturdy stool to stand on to do the cooking!

Anyone here remember a Green River drink served at soda fountains? Anyone know what was in it? Bet Modelcar remembers it!

Too windy for hammock - will do nap in corner rocker.

Where's Tom! Still looking.....
