I posted this clip in the animal lovers thread a while ago, and later I could not get rid of the feeling that the clip may be representative of what it feel like when members and moderators crawl around on PF and read posts they don't agree with... does it feel like this, I wonder?

Sound like they are saying Arp, Arp to me

Why would they say Arp, Arp to you, when you are not even there?

EDIT: Ah, sorry, I seem to have an autistic thing from time to time.

This is interesting: McDonalds seems to be crumbling to ruin due to bad leadership:

I guess they've completely lost sight of what made the place a strong business back in the day.

Haven't been to one for months. But maybe valid points in the article on trying to please everyone, with salads, yogurt, etc. Still, Wendy's offers similar fare, but seems to be doing well.

Why can't you :) ?

I just think I can't live without him. I love my husband just sooo much.

There was this guy today , who's name was "Mort", short for Morton. Remembering my high school French, I told him: "If you went to France you would be dead", which is literally true. He somehow took this as a threat from me. So much for a stupid joke; I had done something similar with this woman whose name was "Nada" (really Nadia, but she pronounced it as Nada): "If you went to Spain, you would be nothing" , which almost got me a slap in the face.

I think the all day breakfast is a smart move. I would go there for a breakfast item late in the day instead of not going there at all. It's not like their breakfast items are custom and difficult, they can be slapped on the grill with no effort.

Sonic has always served their breakfast menu all day.

I guess BK is the only major fast food place, at least burger place, that has no breakfast,

Somehow never saw it, but makes sense, all the people going to work in a hurry in the morning.

Yeah, I don't know of any fast food place that doesn't offer breakfast. That used to be a big thing for my girls if I let them skip the school bus and I drove them through McDonald's for breakfast burritos and orange juice and then dropped them off at school.

Excepting I guess fried chicken places like Popeye's or KFC (If it is still in business), but maybe true for all burger places.

KFC has breakfast, so does Taco Bell.

But I am pretty sure Popeye's does not, at least not the one I go to. Maybe the exception?

Popeyes trialed breakfast, don't know if they still offer it, could be that their market didn't wake up early enough.

I like the monster tacos at burger king (with the extra sauce)

Right now, though, I've got a rack of Kansas city spareribs on my rotisserie. Problem is, the recipe calls for 5 hours of cooking and it's been about 1.5 hours, and I'm hungry.

Guess I'm going to have to break open a can of soup

Weird, so you need to know if you will feel hungry five hours ahead of time before committing to cooking?

EDIT: How about that Nuwave Oven cooker, couldn't it cook them faster than that? I am hoping to buy one one of these days, seems better and safer than a standard kitchen.

I wasn't thinking too deeply about it at the moment, I just opened the fridge and saw a rack of ribs that looked like they needed to be cooked. And that's what I did. It's only 1.7 hours later here that I realized I was hungry NOW!

Makes sense, ribs are always good . EDIT: take a long nap and let the smell wake you up -- best alarm EVER.

You know, back in the day, I'd be less likely to fall for the infomercial hype. But (my mom) has bought a few things off there that has actually turned out to be insanely great. One is the nutri-bullet. The other is the "teeter-totter" inversion machine. Might the Nuwave cooker be another? Maybe, let me know. In principle I like the idea of a pressure cooker. It's just about what works and what is easy to use, in my opinion..

Same here. But the teeter-totter is around $400 last I checked -- notice they don't mention the price in the infomercial. They'd most likely get the response : wow, looks great, but , is it really worth $400? Still, I understand it must be well designed, you don't want to end swinging upside down, unable to get yourself back down, be found after a few days, looking like an idiot.

EDIT: I remember another product: the knife that cuts through _everything_ , they don't mention, including your fingers--yikes.

I think we paid $199. They have different versions. I'm a member of the local YMCA and asked them if they had an "inversion solution" to my problem, and they said unequivocally, "NO," they didn't have an inversion solution for me. So I had to order the teeter hang-ups.

I think I got in at the right time because now success has gone to their heads. I'd recommend getting the bare-boned version and not falling for the upgrade hype.

How long do you lay upside down for? What do you do all that time? Upside down TV?

Defintley not upside-down TV, that doesn't work. Nor do you need it. It's very emotionally retching to invert, and it takes all your concentration just to cope with it. But it feels great. I recommend getting the back arch support and the little knobs that give you an acupunture massage thing. These actually work, believe it or not, and I wouldn't be recommending them otherwise. However, I think with the teeter.com project they come with the machine automatically whether you like it or not. So the point is mute.

They say to invert 5-15 minutes, but I'd recommend 5 minutes. I've never done more than that.

Edit: I meant to say the point is "moot." But "mute" may be appropriate also.

I'll check it out when I get a chance. Seems like it would be helpful.

Well, at the risk of trying to appear like I'm selling a product, which I'm not, just the freedom to arrange yourself at any angle you want is pretty freeing. Typically we have two phases. 90 degrees straight up, 180 degrees when we are sleeping, and maybe 45 degrees when we are couch-potato slouching. This gives you the freedom to smoothly work the angle back and forth and in a continuous manner, which may seem trivial on it's face, but in practice it's pretty liberating..
