2. They were engaged at Wendy's.
Although I don't particularly care for the restaurant myself, I praise them.

3. Unfortunately it's founder...
who seems so sweet in Wendy's commercials is a bible thumping right winger who give a lot of money to religious right causes.

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:





:hippie:

17. Dave was a terrific guy. He did a lot of good for a lot of people...
Children especially foster children who needed adoption.
http://money.cnn.com/2002/01/08/companies/wendys_obit/

As a successful businessman, Thomas founded numerous charities, including the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a cause he was particularly passionate about.

Born on July 2, 1932, Thomas was adopted by a Michigan family when he was six weeks old, according to his biography on the company's Web site.

"When I found out I was (adopted), I didn't want to talk about it, and as I talked to people as I grew older ... I got really a lot of encouragement," Thomas said in a 1999 interview on CNN. "They said, 'why don't you talk about it?' And I thought, well, I'll do it if, you know, I could just help one boy or one girl get a home." (snipped)

Thomas is survived by his wife of 47 years, Lorraine, five children and 16 grandchildren. His foundation helps raise awareness for the 134,000 foster children available for adoption, and helps make adoption more affordable. (snipped)

20. Dave's book saved my life!


There used to be lots of booze, drugs, cheap floozies... but after reading Dave's book I was able to get my life on track. I know own a plastic mold injection company that turns a profit of $400,000 a year. Without Dave's wise guidance, I'd probably be dead in the gutter now.

5. Yummmmmmmm...Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad with sesame dressing.
I also like the Dave's Big Bacon Deluxe hamburger. No calories, fat or carbs. Not a one! ;)

14. Yep, exactly why I don't like the restaurant...
The one that really hurts me like a punch in the gut is Dunkin Donuts. Hey, it is my Kryptonite. LOL.

12. Being 46, I no longer comment on the looks of females under 30.
They are children to me.

19. That's very nice
Have you had a friend of yours go gaga over a hot chick, only to turn around and discover they're ogling your daughter? Happened to the DH. Uhm, shall we say, he wasn't impressed.
