I think that you obviously have Quizno's at a slightly higher cost but not necessarily a higher class factor than Subway. Red Robin? Applebee's? Probably a lower class than Olive Garden, and likely cheaper. Shari's and Denny's? More expensive than the fast food purveyors, but class is questionable. What about a seafood place? Is a Red Lobster better than an Olive Garden? I wouldn't call it classier, but it would be more expensive. Then you have the steakhouses, which definitely raise the cost, but again, I still see the class factor being right around the Olive Garden.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243592037218744454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160091201118324035.post-48970956530734986642009-03-21T08:14:00.000-07:002009-03-21T08:14:00.000-07:00I think the first key part is that the lady in que...I think the first key part is that the lady in question works at Wal-Mart.

I would also like to point out that as much as the government would like to entice first-time home buyers with a nice $8,000 tax break (I think that's the figure), the reality is that this demographic sees their job security as shaky. Thus, any amount of money saved before with the belief that it could become a down payment on a house is now more of a security blanket against a potential layoff. The people that you want to buy houses are stuck with both a slumping house market and the pragmatic choice of holding on to some cash reserves for the rainy day blowing their way. Unless you scoop up a house at auction for a steal, buying a house is probably not what you want to do.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243592037218744454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160091201118324035.post-23318536362181647732008-12-17T09:07:00.000-08:002008-12-17T09:07:00.000-08:00Volunteer at a school...teach the children well!Volunteer at a school...teach the children well!~a~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12636994019236988612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160091201118324035.post-11824127549943283092008-11-21T10:22:00.000-08:002008-11-21T10:22:00.000-08:00My GIS day was one of the best to date.

The McDonald's has slightly different numbers than the ones posted, but they claim only 3 g of fiber. <BR/><BR/>And something else that you may want to consider...the DQPw/C weighs 279 g, and the chicken burger weighs 398 g. This makes the DQPw/C more calorie dense (but not by much). So should the playing field be normalized when these comparisons are made. Just something to think about.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243592037218744454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160091201118324035.post-79717563652173696462008-10-14T14:38:00.000-07:002008-10-14T14:38:00.000-07:00Your wish is my command.
