Re: Our Place - Drop in for a chat.....

Oh yes!! Chick-fil-A has been venturing into markets all over the world. I know they have 2 in Africa. They are even out in California. Here in Colorado Springs, we have 4 stores. Ok, Ok, the truth be told, I am a wee bit partial as my brother operates 3 of the 4 stores here in Colorado Springs. They are the rage here! The drive throughs constantly have long lines going out into the street, but you can be at the back of the line and have your food in under 5 minutes. They are known here not only for their great chicken, but fast drive throughs. A survey conducted nationwide had Chick-fil-A coming in as #1 in the fastest drive throughs! Ok, like you all really wanted to know that! But I guess every store different depending on its owner/operator. My brother helped open 1 of the stores in Africa. He is well respected in the Chick-fil-A company because of how well his stores do. I guess I've bragged enough....Off to work I go! Have a GREAT DAY!

Hurry up and get them to New Zealand as i hate KFC and well Red roster is ok it is Australia and they do not quite know how to get there customer service right nor fill an order correctly and to top it off redrooster is far to bright you go in there and are blinded by all the lights.

Ive been off dealing with the trials n tribulations of my youngest son...when your 20yrs old EVERYTHING is a major issue, and if its not then they will try to create it so....but for an old coot like me it just gives me a stomach ache!...lol..still working on his issues and my health..lol...but Im here learking around...lol..

I wont lie but am 21 and i know that everything is a big issue. I think the one thing is not to bite back and take a listening aproach. if my mum yells at me it grows into a massive deal but if we sit down and talk in grows smaller.

i am not giving you parenting advice here as i am not a parent i am just saying how it is from my angle. it may not work cause my sister (23yrs) you try that with and she storms off.

the reason things are a big issue when your young as i think you have not really experienced any big major issues. at christmas i had a huge issue with my health could have died since then i have alot less big issues. (I do not suggest nealry killing your son to teach him a lesson though)

I hope this gives you an insight from a child of similar age. I am sure if this son does have these issues and shares them even if it is in a big sreaming match or equally similar way you are doing a good job as a parent because your child is comunicating with you.

Wow - I too am impressed. By the way, my son (11) came up with the idea of having a GPRS connection between your phone and your car. You pressed a button and the car gave you instructions how to find it! (Walk ten paces right, twenty paces to the left, you are now in front of me type thing!). I personally thought that would be a winner having walked round a number of huge carparks totally lost!!

Re: Our Place - Drop in for a chat.....

How about one of those gprs things for stuff you put somewhere round the house and you can never find them. lol

Re: Our Place - Drop in for a chat.....

there is a technology called RFID which is pretty call as GPS and GIS can be out by a little I cannot remember the exacts but it was in the multiple km's a while back.

RFID runs on a radio frequency and is being used in retail stores to locate and track inventory and catch shop lifters.

it is very cool they could put them on ever car in the car park and have it trasmit your number plate.

Amanda - My first experience with a computer was a commodore. being broke, I put up 20$ a week down for it as a present for my husband that "said" he new how to use a computer..me I completely admitted I had no clue..well there after the divorce I was left with this keyboard thingy...I pick up a couple magazines that were about commodores to try to learn something...well my son saw a game and wanted to play it...so I sat for three days (programming) typing into the keyboard thingy(lol) until finally the last day I called for my son and asked him if he would like to type in the very last key...he did and I received a response of "tape or disc"..had no clue...so I re-read all I had done and saw that line to whereas it gave that command and deleted it...worked fine!...lol...absolutely no programming experience - just made a judgement call....lol..well my son was able to play the game for quite some time until it was shut off...
OH man what a memory...

LOL What a memory indeed! Lol. Gosh, it takes me back too. I used to love programming in BASIC. I wrote all sorts of stuff. Things that you just hit a key to achieve these days. LOL I also learned to machine code on a funky little thing called an AIM 65. It didn't even have a monitor, just a bare bones keybard and little LED screen. LOL Logic gates and bread boards. Aaarrgh. That was over 23 years ago! 24 years ago I'd never even seen a computer of any description! Things haven't half changed! Thank goodness! LOL My favourite game, on the beeb, was called Twin River Kingdom but it didn't take you long to suss it out and win it every time you played! LOL
