The “Little Princess” is the main reason you haven’t seen me on the canteen.
I had to re-evaluate the amount of time I spend there compared to my family time.
Family IS my highest priority lately.
Hi Eaker. Waiting for new pics of the little prince...hint.
We were warned about certain foods, especially hot dogs since many people cut them into circles, when we had our first baby. Easiest thing was just cutting up food until they learned to chew better.
I gave my kids frozen bagels to chew on when they were teething (or, gasp, put whiskey on their gums). ;)
Glad to know all is well on your end. Miss seeing you and listening to your tunes when I’m there.
:)
So the folks at Fast Company...
A private ccompany.
If the government was spending millions on this, I would agree with you. But if a private company wants to bring a new product to market WITHOUT USING ANY GOVERNMENT MONEY, I say more power to them.
BTW, I doubt the private company is spending millions on this. Heck, I doubt they have even spent 1 million. Even so, it is a private company. This isn’t the government wasting our tax dollars. It is a company trying to come up with a new product.
This is no different than a ice cream company comming up with a new novelty ice cream teat (say a popsicle that looks like a cartoon character).
Nobody’s going to force you to buy it. It’s called the free enterprise system for a reason.
I’ll try to work in some time to play tunes.
No worries :) I’m happy all is well. I don’t get to play as much and missed seeing you around.
I suppose learning to chew and swallow properly is out of the question?
I love that little box with the red X, thank you..:O)

An improvement in a product is a good way for a company with low profitability to raise its rate of profit.
How do you not understand that when companies spend money on stuff like this that the end product for all of us will be higher prices because a few parents are too lazy to take care of their kid! It’s dumb and I’d wager that it will be a huge money loser More bubble wrap for the kiddies. *rolleyes*

If there is a demand for cheap, traditional hot dogs (and I believe there always will be) some company will produce them.
If this particular company wants to produce a new style of hot dog, and there are parents willing to pay a premium for it, fine with me. That doesn’t mean I’m going to pay more for them though (in a free market, nobody is holding a gun to your head saying you have to buy something.)
These things will be no more expensive to develop or market than the hot dogs that come with cheese already in the middle (not that I like those, I don’t, and I don’t buy them). The point is there is a market for them, and some people buy them.
Have cheese-dogs driven the price of regular hot dogs through the roof? Hardly. The free market and competiton will keep the price of regular hot dogs down where they are today. This new idea won’t cost you a dime.
Whiskey on their gums I understand. This little five month old guy is up to a fifth a day!
;<)
I signed off the other night because of your pictures. Had only the makings for chili dogs, had 2 with chili, mustard and onions. ....no cabbage, and then nightmares, its all your fault...Chili dogs at 2am or later is not too smart...:O(
