Not that. I don't mind the problem I now have a Russian Virus...Russia porn is really strange. All from trying to contact a small Italian valve company.

V- If you are logged in on one computer you won't be able to sign in on another until you sign off on the first. I made that mistake when I left my home machine logged on when we went on a trip with the laptop with us. I couldn't post until I cleared off the home machine.
Not sure if that helps, cuz I am about as dysfunctional with the PC as Michael.

Would I be correct in assuming you're not referring to The Coffee Cup in Nelsonville, Ohio?

RE: cheapest breakfast in town (V960)

Now that is solved. I used to eat at the Coffee Cup (listed on this site) quite often starting some twenty years ago. I am a distance runner (although on the down side of a half century I get passed more than pass now) and pretty much didn't worry about dietary intake those many years ago. I figured if the furnace was hot enough it would burn anything.

This place would serve a big bowl of grits w/ at least a 1/4 inch layer of butter on top for a dollar. Two biscuits on the side. I know the biscuits were made w/ lard. This place didn't even have an inside bathroom. We were regulars so we came in through the kitchen door and grabbed a biscuit. Coffee so strong a spoon would stand up in it.

Michael,
Does the upper right hand corner of your screen have in black letters "Logged in as Michael Hoffman"? or a "Login" button beside a "Register email" button? If you have the latter you are not logged in and will be required to enter your screen name and password each time you post.

RE: cheapest breakfast in town (Michael Hoffman)

OK. I'm really in the dark here. When I log in by typing Michael Hoffman and then my password I'm, um, logged in. If I'm not logged in I can't post anything here. Of course I happen to be computer illiterate, so nothing I might say about the way this stuff works is worth a hill of beans.

RE: cheapest breakfast in town (V960)

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 10:38:11 GMT

Minor detail but no I am not logged on/in. I type in v960, then my password, type my message and hit reply. I know it is some wrong setting on my laptop but if I do login (upper right hand corneer of my present screen) then I CAN'T post. No worries...

The Donut Shop, Indianapolis. Eggs, toast, hash browns for 2.85, you can add gravy or breakfast meats for a little over a buck. Nothing fancy, but pretty good. Great people watching, too, and now that Naptown has gone smoke-free you don't need to take a half hour shower immediately after leaving to rid yourself of the tobacco smell (I smoke, but I'm loving the clean air in my favorite dives mowadays).

Had a large order of grits at Krystal's for 60 cents (tax included). The best grits I've ever eaten. I go through the drive-thru about 3 times a week for them. One order fills me up as they are swimming in butter (I know, I know).

Biscuitville in NC has breakfast available for less than $ 3.50 depending on type of meat - 2 eggs, grits or hash brown, biscuit, ham, bacon or sausage.

We also have a place called Current Cagfeteria in Durham that has the same special for $ 3.49 but themeat options are bacon, country ham, salmon patties, homemade thick link sausage (my favorite) or sausage patties. Outstanding!!

BTW, tkitna, how can a Pizza Hut survive when you have a Dicarlo's www.dicarlospizza.com in the same town?

Lol. I have no idea how that Pizza Hut still stands. I can honestly say that I havent been in that building for the last 10 years. DiCarlos is some pretty awesome pizza (Wellsburg shop) and i've over done it more than once.

Stellas actually changed their name not long ago (cant remember it though), but the breakfasts are still killer. I've just never ate lunch or supper there to judge it. No reason why, but just havent. Guess i'll try it out soon.

I was going to say the county lock-up but then again If I remember correctly I had to pay $125.00. It was one of those all-inclusive deals but still...There's a place in Madison Indiana called Hinkles Hamburgers(mini burgers like White Castle) that I ate at when I lived there. Back then they were open 24/7, breakfast anytime. Ham(nice), bacon or sausage & eggs, hashbrowns, toast/jelly, biscuits and gravy and coffee for $3.00 or so. Huge portions. It was an all day breakfast! The only bad part was if you went at the wrong time of the morning you'd have to smell the day's chili cooking. This nasty Southern Indiana tomatoe juice chili soup with macaroni cooked to death under a grease slick that would cripple the resources at FEMA. Never understood how you could get so much grease from so little meat. I'd try to get there before 8 am or sit by the grill cause they were always doing burgers and onions. The hashbrowns were out of this world being fried on the same grill with the onions. They always gave you a dollop of them with your burgers too.

I guess one reason I am so happily retired is that I don't have to speak in any particular 'style' to anyone. I really hated listening (and speaking) in the "Educationese" style during my long career. While I do attempt to control my use of the universal adjective on this site, and will do a classroom presentation in the required format,I take pride in communicating in the vernacular of my audience most of the time.

Now RE- the topic of a cheap breakfast... Many of the Stateline Casinos on the CA-NV border have a steak and eggs weekday breakfast special for 99cents...or gratus with a coupon available most everywhere on the Mon-Thursday handouts.

My Aunt on my Father's side was an English teacher in a private school on the east side of Manhatten. I was REQUIRED to write her two letters each year. She returned them a week later w/ corrections in red pencil.

I guess one reason I got an engineering degree and not a journalism one. She was a wonderful person but would correct you if you spoke incorrectly.
