Comments on: An Obituary You Should Read http://larrywinget.net/blog/?p=291 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:51:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dan http://larrywinget.net/blog/?p=291&cpage=1#comment-92562 Dan Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:52:37 +0000 http://larrywinget.net/blog/?p=291#comment-92562 About that McDonald's case...I don't think lectlaw.com has the whole story. Certainly, it looks like it was written by the plaintif's attorney. The entire point was at what temp does McD keep coffee. But, let's look at what EVERY restaurant he makes coffee does....Particularly, if it's fresh brewed per customer. Water is boiled, ie, 212-degrees. And, while boiling, poured over ground coffee. Tea drinkers, take note...white tea, the coolest variant served, is prepared at 185-degrees. Coffee at my office (just checked) 170-degrees, in the pot. (Not fresh, btw.) Break out the thermometers, kids, and start checking your area. I think you'll consistently find coffee is prepared and served at greater than 170-degrees, routinely. By the way....loved the obit. So terribly true. About that McDonald’s case…I don’t think lectlaw.com has the whole story. Certainly, it looks like it was written by the plaintif’s attorney.

I, too, am so tired of the beating that woman has taken while the truth is buried. Gray – Thank you for bringing up the McDonalds case.

What a load of Common Sense!!! But it hurt me listening to some of the advice, the simple stuff that I was messing up on. It was like getting a good kick in the butt. I got two very important wake up calls from your readings. First, when you asked the reader to make a list of what I expect from myself, I realized that I had nothing to write down. I didn't expect anything from myself. Well of course I expected my self to do right to others etc, etc. The second thing that woke me up was when you talked about getting results. I know that I work hard, long hours and for low pay. But now I can see that I need to take care of priorities first. I have developed a new motivation and direction for my life. Actions and Results and Educating myself are now my priorities. Thank you Catriona Thanks Larry

As to the post about the aspirin, insert Tylenol or Advil, as I have 13 year old daughter who needed Advil after having braces, I had to bring our own bottle, labeled, and then each day needed to send a note saying if she could have some and at what intervals. This was only acceptable because of the braces, otherwise I could not send any for her, or she could not have any from the school, the only option if she had a headache was for me to leave work and come pick her up and take her out of school!! Common sense has truly died, and I really don't believe that Common Sense ever believed that the Sun revolved around the earth!! Larry, this is truly good.

My belief is most of what happens is allowed to happen and not made to happen! 73 years and counting. Linda hit it on the head.
