  4. Old Timer: Looking back at Middle Village’s Niederstein’s restaurant – QNS QNS.COM For many decades, Niederstein’s Restaurant in Middle Village served not only fine German fare but also memories of good times shared among... I ate there a couple of times and have driven thru the Arby's that's now there more than a few times. @pubic_assistance, you could've had two German restaurants to choose from in the area... but I'm sure you're happier with one good German restaurant and one Arby's, knowing your high-falootin' tastes.
  5. I saw a follow up video. The younger one is a HS senior and the older one graduated from LSU. His senior year of HS & freshman year of college were during Covid so he never moved out and they remained very close. BTW, the only day he didn't wear a costume was on Halloween (naturally).

  8. T'was very satisfying to see Diane Wiest carted off in handcuffs at the end of this week's episode. She's very good, and I have often enjoyed her performances, but even when I have I've found her voice and vocal mannerisms criminally annoying.

  13. A remarkably well-preserved Roman sarcophagus has been unearthed in Hungary’s capital, offering a rare and intimate window into the life of a young woman who lived some 1,700 years ago. Archaeologists from the Budapest History Museum made the significant discovery during extensive excavations in Óbuda, a northern district of the city that once formed part of Aquincum, a bustling Roman settlement on the Danube frontier. Crucially, the limestone coffin remained untouched by looters and sealed for centuries, its stone lid still firmly fixed in place by metal clamps and molten lead. Upon careful opening, researchers uncovered a complete skeleton, remarkably intact, surrounded by dozens of ancient artefacts. “The peculiarity of the finding is that it was a hermetically sealed sarcophagus. It was not disturbed previously, so it was intact,” said Gabriella Fényes, the excavation’s lead archaeologist. The coffin lay among the ruins of abandoned houses in a quarter of Aquincum vacated in the 3rd century and later repurposed as a burial ground. Nearby, researchers uncovered a Roman aqueduct and eight simpler graves, but none approaching the richness or pristine condition of the sealed tomb. Keeping with Roman funerary customs, the sarcophagus held an array of objects: two completely intact glass vessels, bronze figures and 140 coins. A bone hair pin, a piece of amber jewelry and traces of gold-threaded fabric, along with the size of the skeleton, point to the grave belonging to a young woman. The objects, Fényes said, were “items given to the deceased by her relatives for her eternal journey.” “The deceased was buried very carefully by her relatives. They must have really loved who they buried here,” she said. During the Roman period, much of what is now Hungary formed the province of Pannonia, whose frontier ran along the right bank of the Danube River less than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the site. A short distance away stood a legionary camp guarding the empire’s border, and the newly found structures are believed to have been part of the civilian settlement that grew around it.

  15. As I have always said, most of the members of this site have no appreciation for the many, many benefits of being poor. For example, I shant be facing such worries should I ever actually start to age.

  17. I don't want to give away anything but I read a review of episode 4 and it's supposed to be totally different in tone and a showcase for one of the actresses.

  19. 4th episode supposed to be much better. Glenn Close says the first 3 episodes were the worst, then it got better. I have only watched 9-1-1 out of all of his shows (other than Glee the first year or two). This won't break that pattern.
  20. Thanks for the warning. Etc. Etc.
  21. Granted, it's been 30+ years but I found the fast food I had all over the world tasted EXACTLY the same as in the USA. Wendy was the only thing open during the siesta in Italy (there's no 's), the largest McDonald's in the world (at the time) in Moscow had ALL items taste the same (as did Pizza Hut... which was practically the only edible thing in the country at the time besides McDonald's), and I ate a fast food meal or two in London and Amsterdam, and went through a McDonald's drive thru in France, too. I spent about six weeks total in Europe over the course of three trips in three years so it was just convenience or a matter of survival (in Moscow) that led to the occasional fast food experience. My favorite meal in Europe was the weinerschnitzel at the Cologne zoo. It was so delicious and incredibly fresh tasting.
  22. Their policy was always to give you a full cup of fries then add an extra scoop to the bag which yielded very large portions and very greasy bags. I did the shops for a company called MarketForce. I don't know if they still have the account. Not to make you TOO jealous, but I used to shop McDonald's for them, too.
