Will You Be Trying Wendy's "Natural" Fries? (That's Fit)

Will You Be Trying Wendy's "Natural" Fries? (That's Fit)

Dec 6th 2010 10:29AM We went to Wendy's last evening and I had my first ones. They did have some skin on some fries, which I really like. They were salty, and soggy with too much residual cooking oil in them.
Linden Farms once had the contract to furnish Wendy's fries, but I don't know who makes these. Frankly, I liked the thicker longer fries better, especially since Wendy's uses Heinz catsup (when the keep the containers filled!). Also, don't use the salt/pepper shakers on the tables due to cross-contamination. Instead get paper packets in cold and flu season, or always to control spread of germs. If you must, use a paper napkin to pick up the shakers

Jerry Jones Needs to Fire Himself (Fanhouse NFL Blog)

Nov 8th 2010 8:32PM You posted: "Beating the Redskins isn't like taking Omaha Beach." May I respectfully remind you that the 'boys didn't beat them or six other teams this year? Favre fractures two bones in his ankle, and is still in the game. Romo breaks one, and is out forever. I believe the difference between good players and great players, is that great players play through pain.
Oh, my qualifications? I was a medic during the Viet Nam war, crashed a Harley when hit by a 17 year old (spent 50 days hospitalized, six major surgeries, back at work in six months). I lived in Texas four years, and despised the Cowboys then and more now. Jones looks like a running sore on a buzzard's butt. As for Dallas, "don't mess with Texas!" He deserves them, they deserve him, life is great. I'd rather lay in hell with my back broke than see the 'boys crawl out of this mess in one easy season! I'll bet is't Bush's fault, also.

'Dancing With the Stars' Needs to Stop Casting Ringers (AOL TV)

May 26th 2010 10:14PM The past two seasons, DWTS means Dancing With The Sluts - the costumes aren't what I expect in ballroom dancing. I did appreciate Heather (McCartney)attempting the moves with a prosthetic leg, the recent performer who danced wearing a blindfold, the Indy car racer who had no dance experience yet won the mirror ball. Stop people like C. Leachman, W. Newton, S. Jobs, and performers who have no aptitude for learning movement and synchronization with a partner. I want to be entertained, not disgusted when I watch this show. No more senators, please.
Why can't we home grow some judges - why Brits and Italians, even if they are professionals? Enough of this melting pot mentality - there are already dancing pros of international fame, so let's have judges from the lower 48 next season.

Colgate Launches Professionally-Inspired Pro Clinical Line; Win All Three Toothpastes Here! (Stylelist)

May 21st 2010 9:14AM I currently use ultrabrite, a colgate-palmolive product. Since my favorite beverages are hot or iced tea, and diet cola, the pro clinical daily whitening is something I would like to try before I buy.

The Daily Fix: Stainless Steel Smudges Be Gone! (DIY Life)

Feb 10th 2010 10:21AM I just retired from the (former) largest facility of its type in the state and nation as the housekeeping director. Formerly I was a medic in the largest hospital in the armed forces who dreaded brushed stainless steel. At home we use a product purchased from Home Depot called stainless steel magic. It is in an aerosol can with a label that resembles ss. Spray it on a cloth and wipe the appliance - don't spray the appliance and then wipe due to overspray on floor or counters. It holds up for two-three weeks.
Re: WD-40, there is some transfer from dermal contact days after it is applied. So what?? Do most of you clean under your nails, rings and the webs between your fingers before opening the fridge? Avoid anti-bacterial soaps and wipes also because you develop "super bugs" that are resistant to normal cleaners, and springboard into MRSA. The WD-40 is good for CLEAN shower doors, as a protectant; spray on cloth and wipe the door or the shower becomes a skating rink. Hug a housekeeper today!

Fight For Your Country -- Get a Free Bloomin' Onion (Slashfood)

Nov 7th 2009 12:07PM Here in central Virginia we experienced the Home Depot discount the first time last year. I fumbled through my pockets for my dog tag, and the clerk stopped me and asked me to stop looking - gave me the discount! We bought a top rated electric leaf blower, 100' cord incorrectly priced, and got 10% off anyway. We went back and bought a top of the line hedge trimmer after the Applebee's lunch! I appreciate their (merchants) generosity since they are not required to honor veterans this way. BTW, 1965-1969, USAF as a medic. They required me to surrender my id upon discharge, but have dog tags on vehicle key ring. GI bill and hard work yielded a BA and M Ed, and I retired last month! I'm honored to have served, and it really pisses me to see draft dodgers who didn't. Curtis Crouse, you are pitiful, hollow, and arrogant. Come to central VA so I can open a can of ass whoopin' to serve you free of charge on Veteran's Day!

Charlie Gibson Says So Long to 'News' (PopEater)

Sep 2nd 2009 4:37PM Smart move, Charlie. Knowing when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em has you going out on top! He worked here in Lynchburg, VA before he became a celebrity. He is very hard-working, down-to-earth, and represents Disney and ABC well. He continued the role established by Peter Jennings. I am quite glad to see that Staphlacoccus will not replace Charlie. Ditto Brian Ross. How about Alex Trebec as the replacement?

NFL, Goodell May Expand Regular Season to 18 Games (Fanhouse NFL Blog)

Mar 25th 2009 8:26PM Personally I lose some stamina during the two weeks prior to the Super Bowl. How about adding a "Loser Bowl" for the two runners up. Better yet, use that weekend and one preseason weekend for the two additional games.
Injuries happen. So does stomach flu, death of players' family members, or "shootouts in a bar" like P. Burris starred in. Sometimes what makes good teams great is depth - someone to step in when a starter is sidelined, or performs poorly and gets yanked.
How many injuries could be prevented if all stadium surfaces were natural grass and no astroturf (some of them don't drain rainwater)?
