A motherless child
MoFoLo Posted Dec 26, 2006
True story. I took the Midget and wife on a small road trip. Stopped in a Wendy's, which if you don't have one in your country is a conservative fast food restaurant. After we were seated another couple sat in a table behing Bonnie and one table to my right. They had barely sat down when the guy got up and went to the counter. I could hear something to the effect that he wasn't a ghost and that he was a human. He handed over a burger, they took it back in to the kitchen and then brought it back. He took the burger back to his table and I could hear him say to his wife it was under the cheese. It seemed that he didn't see the ground beef pattie under the cheese.
I called over to him and asked "Isn't it ironic? In the 80's Wendy's had an ad on television where an elderly lady named Clara Peller would go into a restaurant; not Wendy's; and open a hamburger whose bun was extrodinarily large and look at a miniscule beef pattie and shout out to the manager, "Where's the beef?" It was a big hit ad at the time and for a while was a catch phrase. And here he was in a Wendy's asking, "Where's the beef?" I didn't see his sandwich but evidently it looked to him as if he had a half bun with a slice of cheese on it; without a beef patti.
This doesn't have anything to with this discussion. I just thought I would share it for what it is worth.
Hey, Danish Tart, thank you for all you have done. I am doing really good. I still have crisis situations but with the help of the med I am on I am handling them on a day to day basis. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate though. All I ask you to do is to find time for yourself. Let others at home help you so it isn't all on you.
