    Down with Franchises!

    Where I live we have several McDonalds that are corporately owned. According to data on McDonalds, the company owned 18% in 2016, that's 6,444 stores.

    Down with Franchises!

    I agree that it’s more the familiarity that franchises thrive on. I don’t visit my local franchise eateries because I know my local restaurants. I don’t visit franchises/chains such as Applebee’s or Chili’s or many other bigger restaurant chains when I’m on vacation. However, when I’m on a...

    CPVC and plumbing

    I have used a push fit and it feels scary because i think it will leak. But at least i have been okay with it. It's all new stuff to me too. If you try it, let us know how it works. Other than having a little water to clean up it shouldn't be bad. Unless you are going on vacation when you finish...

    CPVC and plumbing

    6 hours sounds excessive unless you are bonding 6" pipe in 30F or 75% humidity. With normal water pressure I would think one hour would okay. But maybe check with the company.

    Sleep

    I slept 1 to 2 hours a night when I first started some new medications. It took doctors to find the right combination to normalize me but only after 8 months. I was exhausted needless to say. I had a job that I could nap and I worked from home a lot. Now, I get up at 3:45 am and get ready...

    If you had one month to live...

    I think I wrote this before on this forum, but it's good. This was the topic on The Opra Winfrey Show and she went into her audience to poll them and ask the question. My former pastor happened to be in the audience and she raised the mic to him and he said, "he would move in with his mother...

    Magazines?

    I don't subscribe to any. I do pickup a magazine once or twice a year if the cover has something that interests me. The last one was some recipe magazine. But I usually read e-zines (the free ones), many do provide some free reading.

    Do you say I love you to friends?

    I never thought about it, but I say it when I think they need to hear it. When they are hurting and they have confided in me or when they have pulled me out of situation that is priceless that I couldn't repay other than to say "I love you". It would have to be a good friend, I don't have...

    Polaroid Camera

    lol. yup! If you touched it, the finger print would be embedded on the the wet film forever! I ruined one but I learned my lesson. Or my dad did, he would never hand me the picture until it was dry.

    Condiments on Burgers

    I don't think it's that weird, but I've only done it once, on a regular cheese burger I've topped it with bacon and a medium fried egg with pico de gallo. it was very good, just too messy to eat.

    Polaroid Camera

    I remember my dad having a Polaroid camera, it was the one that accordion'd out and the picture would come out and we had to wait 60 seconds for it to develop and then the top paper could be peeled off and the picture could be seen. Before we could touch it, he had to wave it around to dry it...

    Amazon Prime Day

    I suppose it would be expensive if many of the available features aren't used. But I have a smart home, connected through Amazon and Hue. My lights, my antenna TV (Amazon Recast), my Echos, TV Firesticks, Fire tablets, my Prime movies, music, books and not to mention I do 90% of my shopping on...

    As you age

    Oh, lol... I wouldn't want to work in fast food. Just be a paying customer and be mean to the kids that are just sitting around wasting time and space. And the ones wearing their pants too low, or girls dressed inappropriately. Not that I care... I just want to be cranky. I'd rather find old...

    As you age

    I'm more mellow, but I act cranky. I want to be the guy that walks into a fast food joint and yells at all the kids. And they just dismiss me for being old. :ange06:

    Shoes

    I have too many shoes to say that I wear any one brand, but I guess for work (office) I wear Rockport, they are comfy dress shoes, I normally don't wear the same shoes more than a couple of days a week. For working, outside the office I have several pair of work boots, my Skecher work boots are...

    It's not always about race

    There is no rule in the building that I work in, we piggyback all the time through the outside doors. However, we also have to go through glass gates or glass turnstiles as some call them. Besides the gates closing fast, it would be difficult to piggyback, they also have a very annoying sound...

    Stranger Things

    I tend to binge watch in the winter, it's just tough to get in the time during the summer. Too many chores. I do also like Supernatural, but I sort of lost track of the show after the 6th or 7th season.

    Stranger Things

    I like the show, but I haven't had time to watch it. I binged watched the first season but haven't even started the second. I have some catching up to do, actually... it was just yesterday that I heard that it was really good this season.
