So here she is right after her bath yesterday. She was all frisky but decided it would be OK to settle down enough for me to take her picture or two. She will have her own post not too long from now.
MacDonald's cup holding procedure:
Do you think they do this so that the clumsy help they hire won't be so apt to drop the cup.
The lady in a different colored dress was doing this at the Sealy, Texas, MacDonald's Restaurant last Friday. That different color dress denoted either supervisor status or a trainee. I don't know which suited her.
At Hurst, Texas (1401 W Pipeline Rd), it was a young man who grabbed every cup with his fingers inside. He had on a regular colored outfit. And he didn't look like he was just hired yesterday, he was knowing what to do and he did most tasks rather quickly.
What about your MacDonald's, is this a nationwide procedure now?

Mrs. Jim and I really enjoy the G**co commercials, most of the U.S. does too, I do believe.
BTW, a job like this might be good if you liked to read blogs all day. Some do that anyway, others read and write.

It's Ok -- the New Cell Phone Etiquette in eating places
Brother-in-law Dan and wife, Winetta, and Mrs. Jim
Hey, what's this?
Oh, that's ok, Mrs. Jim is doing it too!
I do it too! So I thought I had better introduce you to the new rules of etiquette for using cell phones in restaurants. It used to be illegal in poor taste you know.
However, necessity and convenience breed change. Just accept it, change comes.
There does need to be some semblance of order in this matter, therefore I have developed the following New Revised Rules of Cell Phone Usage Etiquette in Restaurants. I do believe a few generalizations would make these rules applicable for cell phone use in most any public places.
NEW REVISED RULES OF CELL PHONE USAGE ETIQUETTE IN RESTAURANTS
1. Lay the phone on the table as soon as you sit down. This prevents so much annoyance to other patrons. Generally you can catch it on the first ring that way instead of fumbling through your pockets or purse to find the machine.
2. Talk no louder than you need. It is the loud cell phone talk that bothers other people. Besides loud talking disturbs others who are trying to use their cell phones.
3. Keep your conversation short.
4. Laugh quietly, not out loud! (LOL)
5. For an extended conversation or for more privacy go outside or to an unoccupied area.
6. Do not make unnecessary calls. A quick check on the kids, grandma, or your dog, and the like, is probably necessary now and then.
7. It is better to call while sitting in the restaurant than driving your car. This goes especially for text messaging (unless you have memorized the key placement and routine--like you did in touch typing).
(c. jimmiehov 2007)
NOTES AND LINKS:
1. This blog has been in the planning for quite some time (note the pictures are dated 1/20/2007, the day after my mother-in-law's funeral [link]).
2. Ken Hoffman probably will not like these rules, you may agree after reading his column in this Tuesday's paper (Houston Chronicle, link). BTW, his column did push my 'hurry and post button.'
3. Mrs. Jim reminded me today of her rule # 107, never wash dish towels and cloths with bath towels and socks. That is NOT a good rule for bachelors or men who do their own washing.
4. Any suggested changes or comments on the new revised rules will not be appreciated. Perhaps you could suggest some pleasing ringtones or the like.

Old tune, new verse! Clemens (7-6 record) was a jinx for our Houston Astros, it doesn't look like he can do better for the Yankees.
I thought he ought to play for the Astros this year for $1.00. He could have afforded that and gone down in baseball history being known as 'a fine gentleman of baseball' instead of just another money hungry ($25M) professional athlete.
Do you remember when Mr. Ioccocca took $1.00 a year when Chrysler was hurting? I sure do, back in the late 1970s (link).
