Papas New York Diner in Clearwater is worth every penny
Greasy Spoons and the good old fashioned diners are a tribute to the success of family run businesses and the little guy who hasn't gone national and corporate. I love these places. I love that I can go to Papas New York Diner in the middle of the night and sit in a pleather booth and eat eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee. I love that it's got a style all to itself. I love that the servers and cooks there don't have to follow robotic guidelines, but share with me their personalities.

The Joy of a Proper Picnic, Rabbit Poo and All
You could be forgiven for not realising it, but here in the UK, we are coming to the end of National Picnic Week. It’s one of those daft marketing campaigns that are run to raise awareness of something that we are already perfectly well aware and perhaps even fond of, while simultaneously reflecting the pilfered glory onto a campaign sponsor; a lacklustre margarine brand, for example, a range of lunch boxes, a wine losing market share or a failing pie manufacturer.

Alcohol, the magic potion.
Alcohol is a sophisticated substance that impacts various regions of the brain. The global consumption of alcohol is on the rise, leading to addiction and fatalities. While alcohol can enhance mood, it also leads to issues related to intoxication. It affects all brain neurons and is classified as a substance by some. Drugs are deeply ingrained in human society, with nearly everyone using some form of substance. Although alcohol is widely consumed, it is not openly recognized as a drug, influencing social environments. The worldwide sales of alcohol are increasing rapidly. The beer industry is thriving, offering consumers a wide range of options and expanding their choices. Companies are investing significant amounts in alcohol advertising, utilizing the digital age to reach millions of consumers. Alcohol advertising has a significant impact on children and young individuals. Children are more likely to recognize alcohol brands than brands of ice cream and chocolate, highlighting the prevalence of alcohol advertising. Alcohol advertising often includes messages that objectify women, reinforce gender stereotypes, and occur in unregulated online platforms.

The Buffet is the best Bang for the Buck
I love the buffet! Today it's confusing where to go to eat. Staying home isn't as low cost as it used to be. A home of two people can easily spend 200 dollars on groceries per week if they're not penny pinching careful. So sometimes it is easier and cheaper to eat out. Of course, since the minium wage was raised, the prices of what used to be "cheap" food (ie: McDonalds and the fast food chains) isn't "cheap" anymore. When my sweetheart and I go to any drive-thru we know we won't get what we want without having 20 bucks at least. The value menu is gone. There is no more Dollar for a burger option. I gasped in horror when I realized that a large french fry is now $5.00. So I made sure to buy a bag of potatoes at the grocery store. They'll go a lot further.
