That’s still pretty neat history.

2 rides a Ferris wheel and we play bingo with corn pieces. And eat bar pizza. The one bar in the middle of Ashley had amazing pizza. And I remember there was a VHS rental place. And he stayed that way for years. He would have 3 VHS or something and only 1 DVD so you waited weeks to rent stuff. Lol

Oh and don’t forget the corn festival downtown Ashley. Party y’all ;)

I was the last senior class at the original olentangy HS before they new one had seniors in 2004. Yeah that area is crazy. In Ashley I lived on Morrow county road 21. Literally to this day probably still BFE. Used to take us 45 minutes to an hour to find grocery stores. Except for whipples ice cream market too. Gas stations. Or a pharmacy market. The brown jug was great though we got days off school for fair since everyone did 4H. Except me. So I’d just go enjoy the food. The horses and the rides. I miss brown jug. Wow. And yes I know a few of those places. Hogback road urban legends. Haha spooky. And Radnor. Cardingron. There was another ice cream place there too we liked and a small diner was like in the front of an old house downtown. Yeah. Memories. Downtown Delaware I lived in much older. I lived on West winter st. My window looked over at buns restaurant. So much new stuff there last I went. Ashley though. I hated it so much as a kid when new toys or things came out. I’d want to go get them and have to wait a week or so till we went shopping. Mainly music albums. I’d be weeks behind. Thank heavens for digital now. Hahah Kids that live in the country can still hear their faves. My step dad thought it was cool to call radios and request singles and record them for us. I’d laugh and explain this wasn’t the same as opening up an album. Reading the liner notes. Seeing the photos. Context and stories. Lyrics. Etc. And my mom and her friend at the time Shelley are around mid fifties. My grandmother is around 70 something. Small world.

I was born at osu though. ;)

I’m going to Orlando health bariatric Center.

My doctor told me broth and water of my choice would be first meal after surgery. I said of choice. He joked and said Dasani, Tap, or Aquafina and then beef, chicken, or vegetable broth. It made me laugh. But also scared of the fate that awaits me... lol Reading about the products people love and hate though reminded me of that. And also the fact that I too am picky. I’ll have the Mac and cheese and the Dr Pepper when I wake up please. Haha just kidding.

30 days for me. It’s getting very real.

@Frustr8 I meant to tell you. My mom was raised around Mt Vernon Ohio. I grew up around Columbus, Delaware, Ashley and Powell Ohio. So I saw a fellow buckeye. I currently live in Orlando to work for Disney. ;)

There’s nothing wrong with country music. :)

Awesome- so you are going in just a day or so before I do. I will be doing my pre op appointment on the 23rd just a few days ahead of your surgery. Then 29th. SO are you already doing liquids then or starting right around the first of the month. Ive read a few people say they started early to drop a few extra pounds before their actual surgery day?

I am scheduled for 10/29 I am starting liquids around 10/14 pre op appointment will be 10/23 I am really excited but also kind of nervous.
