Thank You, Cookout

When people are hungry, you never disappoint.

Thank You, Cookout

Living near a Cookout is like living near the greatest place on earth. The wonderful Cookout. This place is the end all be all. You have helped us all through so much. We can’t thank you enough, Morris Reaves, for founding this amazing place. Here are some specific Cookout-related things I am thankful for.

1. Thank you for never letting us starve.

When you’re hungry, the first words you say are, “Wanna go to cookout”. Which might I add are the best words to ever hear. You may not even be hungry but when you pass a Cookout, you have to at least stop and get a quesadilla.

2. Thank you for helping us through hard times.

Got your heart broken? Feel like crap? Who doesn’t want a Cookout tray with a milkshake? Those things are like painkillers. You cry with your best friends when your heart is broken over an Oreo-Mint milkshake and all of a sudden you feel much better about everything.

3. Thank you for feeding my teammates.

Where do you go after a sporting event when you are starving? Cookout. Even if you lost, you at least know the food will be good. The entire team can sit and be so loud and not even care. You might even see the other team there as well (sportsmanship is kicking in I hope). Cookout fills you up to no end and makes you that much happier about winning or losing.

4. Thank you for making trays cheap.

Three whole things in one tray. It’s like heaven in a styrofoam box. There are so many options, but nothing ever satisfies a craving more than three different food items in one box. Let’s not forget that all these three things are less than $6. You help my cravings and my bank account.

5. Thank you for late nights.

What do high school and college kids love more than parties? Cookout being open until 3am. We would be hungover, still studying, or just hungry. But you never let us down during our time of need. We appreciate that we can come and settle our cravings without a sign telling us that you are closed.

6. Thank you for the Christian music.

Coming into a Cookout is not only satisfying for the stomach, it’s good for the soul. Every Cookout I have been to has the best Christian music playing. I feel like I can eat some great fried food and get my heart right with Jesus. It always makes me happy hearing “Oceans” while eating a chicken ranch wrap.

7. Thank you for never disappointing.

Some fast food restaurants you can always guarantee something being messed up or wrong. But for some reason, not Cookout. You can always guarantee that everything will be perfect and not messed up. That’s why I will always go to Cookout over any other fast food joint.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
