I'd suggest asking for this modification if none of you have tried a Big n Tasty.
I used to make all sorts of crazy food with ingredients in the kitchen. I actually had created some different chicken wraps before they came out on the menu. You can ask for as many modifications of menu items as you want, but adding certain ingredients can be an upcharge. Usually certain veggies and meats are extra.

I'm not like a super good looking person, maybe I'm approachable? The compliments are both appearance and talents.
I do have a tip for anyone looking for a really supportive community, try some disc golf. I've been playing for 10+ years and I have never seen such a great group. Playing in local leagues or just talking to people on the course always results in a great time.

I remember it was most noticeable when I took a shower after and the hot water created a McDonald's steam smell that was super powerful.

My last set of underwear was Hanes from Walmart, I had 12 pairs on rotation and they lasted probably 8 years.

Comment on Why I’ve tracked every single piece of clothing I’ve worn for three years in ~life.style

Work shoes are only work shoes, dress shoes for work are only dress shoes, casual shoes are only casual shoes. They seem to wear out much less when I pick my situation to wear them. It sounds like you have a similar practice but with less pairs.
I actually just found a honey pot of sneakers at an estate sale, I bought 11 pairs of sneakers. They should last me another 20+ years, and I got them for 20 bucks a pair.

Most of the stuff we have is based on how little we have to spend but also make it look nice ish.

They opted to buy their own delivery vehicle so they could finish their route more safely on the winter days. Northern New England has never been kind to these vehicles.
I would how this new one does in snow.

I'm not sure what others had for an electric razor but I can get a close shave with it, just need to make sure you don't press too hard.
I had been using Gillette throwaways for a long time but it was too much hassle, and these days i have a beard...so I don't need to shave my entire face.
My skin is very sensitive so I cannot shave every day. No matter the type of razor I use, shaving every day is a killer on my skin.
As much as I hate City, great goal.
