Ok about to bump this topic

Ok about to bump this topic possibly.
I use to work at wendys. I was the drive thru gal who handed you the meal and the drinks. I would say have a nice day or have a good day. I quit wendys two months before they were closed and they never saw it coming. things had slowed down at wendys but not that bad. I always had my hours but if it become slow then if we had too many we would go home.(usually who had like an hour or two of their shift left.)
I missed working with brian,ricki,melody. they made wendys so much fun. I still miss them and everyone I worked with so much. I feel it was the location that killed the resturaunt. It was not like burger king with an easier access. What people do not know or may not know about wendys is when they said the food was fresh it was indeed fresh. they made chili every day by scratch. The beef is never frozen. Not like most places. Dave thomas said he wanted freshness and that is what people got.Potatoes were cooked all the time, and yes many times we ran out, but we cooked on average I believe 50-60. Oh wendys remians to this day the only "fast food" place I can eat late night without an potential ibs attack.
now what is very sad is wilmar's wendys is now closed. if you want wendys it is saint cloud or the cities one has to go too and yes I take full advantage of it when I have to go to saint cloud. I love wendys. I think if wendys was to come back to hutchinson then a location near the others by wal mart would be the wisest.
to all the former employees of wendys, I hope you are all doing great. I miss you all greatly. Lisa

I think the two teams are,

Terry Davis — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:24:20 -0500

I think the two teams are, at this stage, completely different. I think Minnesota has more talent on both sides of the ball than Green Bay. I'm not too sure GB wouldn't be 2-2 even with Favre. I'd hate to see his 40-year-old body take the eight sacks the Vikes administered to Rodgers last night behind that terrible O-Line.

Favre seems to be in the perfect situation for a veteran quarterback. He just has to steer the sports car that is the Vikes offense right now and occasionally tap the accelerator.

The Monday Night Football

Matt McMillan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:11:28 -0500

The Monday Night Football announcers asked if Green Bay made the right decision to move on from Favre. Both announcers thought the team was right. I know Brett kept waffling about whether to continue, and their new quarterback is a quality younger guy, but the Vikings won with Favre last night and are 4 and 0. The Packers are 2 and 2. Doesn't that say the Packers might have lost something when Brett left?

I agree, teams will pay if

Terry Davis — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:08:15 -0500

I agree, teams will pay if they continue to focus only on Adrian Peterson rushing the ball. However, I sure would like to see the Vikings swing Peterson out of the backfield a bit more and get him open in the flat one-on-one more in the open field against a lineback, a la Chuck Foreman in the 1970s. I can envision him getting 15-20 yards on most receptions, and probably more since he would be shaking off little d-backs trying to tackle him.

Its hard to picture Tavarius

itsjustme — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:42:16 -0500

Its hard to picture Tavarius Jackson or Sage Rosenfals pulling out the last second win like Favre did over San Francisco. And last nights game the Packers did a pretty good job of containing Adrian Petersen but Favre made them pay by opening up the passing game. That was huge, in my opinion. Teams will no longer be able to stack the line to stop Petersen like they did the previous years.

They also used to hold the Water Carnival's Saturday night dance at the Armory. And that's where we all went for the last swine flu shots.

I took my written drivers

WENDY — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:09:33 -0500

I took my written drivers test there, and went to teen dances there . It was the place to go & meet up with your friends.

Someone told me yesterday

Someone told me yesterday that some of the trusses from the armory were used to build a machine shed east of Stewart. The building has a curved top so it could be possible.

The thing that’s always

Muffin Man — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:56:41 -0500

The thing that’s always bothered me about Brett Favre is his name is spelled F-A-V-R-E but it’s pronounced, “FARVE.” What’s up with that? It’s not like Judge Mike Savre pronounces his last name “SARVE.” He pronounces it “SAV-REE” which makes a lot more sense.

Thank you Terry and John!

Thank you Terry and John!

I contacted John Olson,

Terry Davis — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:36:59 -0500

I contacted John Olson, public works manager for the city of Hutchinson, about this and the following is his response:

"Yes, your reader remembered correctly. There was to be a bike lane installed on School Rd NW. However, to maintain traffic safety, the left turn lanes at the Golf Course Rd. N.W. intersection were retained. So, there is not enough lane width to safely delineate a bike lane. Left-turning traffic is prevalent at that intersection. The left turn lanes begin further south than the end of the bike lane on the rest of School Rd. north of the Golf Course Rd. intersection.

"Bicycle/pedestrian facilities were included on a design submitted for federal stimulus funding earlier this year. The project did not receive funding."

Hope this answers your inquiry.

On the title song of Michael

B@ssDoctor — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:26:13 -0500

On the title song of Michael Jackson’s album ‘Bad,’ the Man Who Would Be King of Pop gives the millions of Jackobites worldwide these immortal words: “I’m bad, I’m bad, shamon!” And while it sounds as if MJ is extolling the virtues of some sort of processed meat product, “shamon” is simply his unique way of saying “c’mon!” As an exclamation, it hasn’t exactly taken off, but indie pianoman Ben Folds, for one, has carried the flame, throwing down a “shamon” of his own on his 2001 song ‘Rockin’ the Suburbs.’

Jorge Sosa — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:27:49 -0500

That's a fun story. My feelings about Michael, over the course of my lifetime, have gone something like this:

1) He's one of the coolest guys on the planet.
2) He's kind of weird.
3) He's seriously creepy.
4) Wow. I can't believe he's dead.
5) What a tragic case.

Did anyone ever figure out what he meant when he'd randomly go "Shamon!" in the middle of a song?

You are correct,

GhostOfBirdflu — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:31:44 -0500

You are correct, LeaderReader. I too am an avid playa of softball and appreciate the bug-free environment. I used to cake on the bug spray until it ate away at my skin and made me, well, ghost-like. Now I wear a medical mask so I don't breathe the fumes -- the blue masks match our uniforms. I too like swattin' softballs better than swattin' bugs.
