Date: May 12th, 2025 7:46 PM Author: poppy cuckoldry lay Eating out is too much of a hassle. My four kids make it a challenge so I just don’t do it. One of the most tedious things about work actually is the expectation of eating all the time, too. Like they’ll have a breakfast (I don’t eat breakfast), and then they’ll have a lunch (and I usually don’t eat at that time either), and then they’ll have a dinner that goes to 1030 or 1100 and the expectation will be that you drink booze (and I don’t drink). But restaurants themselves are all flame. I don’t know the last time I had a good meal anywhere or actually enjoyed myself at a restaurant. |

NYC) for food if you compare similar experiences. The food in Greece has become way more expensive with a weakening dollar and the Ukraine war waging on. Italy and France remain very expensive unless you are eating takeaway food.
I’m sure food is still cheap in shit-hole-istan, but I’m a white American and would not want to ever visit there. |
