I miss In 'n' Out Burger, Coffee Roasters, 42nd Street Bagel and Gottschalks. These are uniquely west coast things not found in Colorado.

If I were in California, I'd miss Three Margaritas, Saltgrass Steakhouse and the Colorado Rockies (even if they didn't make the playoffs this year).

What do you miss?

Mainly the point

What do you miss?
Well, this only happens when I'm in America, but: the regular hamburger at Burger King.

I miss an economy that doesn't look like it is about collapse.

My boyfriend.

Penny sweets.

My ex, but my aim is improving.

Vegetation and water.

Penny sweets.

Apple Jacks (the penny sweet)

Omnomnom. And on that note, the days when one could go to the shop with £1 and come back with chocolate, crisps, a drink and change.

...small boys playing football in the park, jumpers for goal posts...isn't it?

To be fair, I think that still happens.

I miss In 'n' Out Burger

This is the only fast food that has been able to match the recent tastiness of Carl's Jr., and they do it all the time.

Damn you, fat! If only I could eat more In n' Out every day without gaining more of you! :D

My fiance

To be fair, I think that still happens.

Well if it doesn't, no-one has told me and my friends who still regularly play football in the park like that.

I haven't done that in years. Mainly because I don't play football much, given my suckiness at it.

Belgian friteries... British chippys just come no where near.

I would say Belgian chocolates but I recently developed an allergy to coco, so that's right out.

On the other hand I miss Cider (especially Pear Cider) when I'm back in Belgium visiting.

The bay area. My ladyfriend, my friends in the bay area, my family, the bay's thriving underground metal scene, all the fun shit there is to do there, I miss summer. Those are all things I'll see again though, unless I die suddenly. Other things can never be again.

The talk, the sex, somebody to trust.

Chums.

My ex, but my aim is improving.

Awesome.

Turkey, good cheddar (Hell, ANY cheddar), sub sandwiches, American style pizza that doesn't include corn, and Mexican food made by someone who doesn't think that tacos should have hot dogs in them.

I miss Surge... That was a really good coke. Stupid loud, angry mothers who let their kids drink it and then got angry at Coca Cola because their kids were bouncing off the walls. :mad:

So that is what they were talking about when they mention the Surge in Iraq. Doesn't seem like a very good plan to me.

Wet-dreams. They rocked.

You kidding me? The very reason that the insurgents are staying home is because the children of Iraq are being loud and bouncy, and their mums are a bit tired. Which is why you see militiamen mainly operating at night now - when the kiddies have fallen into a diabetic coma for 6 or 7 hours.

Snow! My parents, my siblings, my hometown... *not* being harassed by my ex... having spare time... my old university... my dog... all my childhood dreams (haha)...

What I miss the very most at this very moment, however, is my bed. It was very warm when we parted this morning. I am now very cold. This is a problem.

Sushi. It is freaking impossible to get good sushi here.

Also, apple cider donuts.

Ooooh, agreed about the sushi. Surprisingly, there's no decent sushi where I am, either.

At least compared to Vancouver.

The toilet.

Dunkin' donuts. There isn't a single Dunkin' Donuts anywhere in this freaking county!

I miss frozen custard. None of that is available here :(

The ocean. By far the best thing about living in California.

Being a clueless kid.

Also, I miss being home in Southern Illinois, Sonic (the food joint), and saturday morning cartoons.

My youth.

I miss this guy.

*nods*

I miss having a living father.

I haven't done that in years. Mainly because I don't play football much, given my suckiness at it.

Yeah, there is a mixture of abilities when we play. There are a couple of guys that are pretty good at football but most of us aren't great. But we, the crappier ones, all tend to be rowers and are, therefore, way fitter than the other guys, which tends to even the field a bit.

It does lead to really really long games cause most of us can't shoot very well but can keep on going until we eventually do score.

I miss my family, my cats, and my best friend, but I will see all of them this weekend.

I also missed Heroes on Monday, but Dad taped it so I will see that this weekend too...

All the Dunkin Donuts closed in N.I a couple of days ago. I was raging.

I miss having a living father.

My condolences.


I miss having a grandfather.

To be fair, I think that still happens.

I think you were missing a pop-culture reference, actually. :)

Me, I miss curry. Damn you, England, for introducing such wonders to my life. DAMN YOU, Georgia, for being a pastey white monoculture!

I never miss.

I used to live in NYC. I miss a transit system that at least wanted to work, even when it failed to. I miss New Yorkers. I miss REAL bagels and bialys, and Polish food, and German food, and Hungarian delis, and pizza, and bread, and beaches that were easy and cheap to get to, and diners where you could sit at a counter and get waiter service that was fast, and people who knew how to walk in a crowd.

I used to live in Vermont. I miss clean air. I miss fresh food. I even miss all that goddamned snow.

Now I live in the metro Boston area. When I move I'll miss the art scene, and my apartment, and fried seafood, especially clams and oysters, and the guy who looks just like Ben Franklin, and Boca Grande taqueria, and Changsho chinese restaurant, and dim sum at China Pearl on weekends when it's most crowded, and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, just north of the city, and the Japanese restaurants in the Sears Building at Porter Square, and Brattle Books, Boston Antiquarian Booksellers, and MacIntyre & Moore, all used book stores.

Have you been to... http://fiveguys.com/store_locator.aspx?s=CO&c= ? IMO, the best fast burger chain. A little pricy but worth it! Much better than Fatburger...

I miss that feeling of nostalgia that I used to get. Nostalgia just ain't what It used to be:(
