LDH,

My point above "REALLY" stands now. You are not as far from the JW mindset as you think. I don't consider myself foolish and why you must resort to such name calling, I don't know, nor care.

Personally I find your post to be interesting, but some details as Waiting mentioned, (your degrees, money, etc.) I did not follow the purpose of mentioning them (but I feel it's what you want to share, so fine). And I don't take offense to your warning or suggestions (because it seem to be your style).

And the bones analogy went right pass me.

I do apologize if my post seemed a little harsh, but I couldn't help but to express myself (you seem to think it is alright for you to do the same).

In defense of LDH,

If I recall correctly, LDH only "pulled rank" once in response to a smart assed poster name "smart girl". I felt "right proud" of LDH's accomplishments. Basicly, she said that she came from behind with the JW restrictions as an impediment, and out achieved her "worldly" peers by far, and that she was a lot smarter than "smart girl". She never brought it up again, as far as I know. Just as the scriptures should not be taken out context, I don't think her words should be either.
I have not realy followed the nuances of word inter-change lately, and I really do want to stay out that part of it.

I don't know if my comments will calm things down or make them worse, but that's how I see the historical (or is it hysterical) context.

By the way, I'm in the truth, the truth about gardening, the internet, music of the '50's and other various and sundry sources of truth.

sigh..ok....what about a garden rake and a Dominoes Pizza coupon?

You forgot another IMPORTANT TRUTH that many people overlook on a regular basis...

Twinkies

GREAT with milk. I can tell you, when *I* am eating a twinkie, NOBODY controls me. I AM the cream, and the cake, and the milk.

hmmmmm.. I'm hungry...

Deacon,

I'm confused. Do I get the pizza and you get the degrees or visa versa. In either case. I have a pregnant question for you: Where is the headquarters for Dominoe's, and where is the home of Little Caesar's? Go look that up in the Britannica and get back with me.

Ianao,

I'll tell you what guy, you are living on the edge! You are also making me hungry. I am going to run down to the corner store and stock up on Twinkies.

RedhorseWoman

Hmmmm.....if degrees are changing hands for something as mundane as a garden rake and a Dominoe's coupon, what might I get for a large bag of "brown gold" for the garden....fresh and direct from the source?

Hi Lisa, I was raised in the truth.

When Mike and Marian Ilitch opened their first Little Caesars restaurant in Garden City, Michigan in 1959, little did they dream one restaurant would grow into the world's number one carry-out pizza chain. However, with Mike's marketing genius and natural gift for product development, and Marian's wise financial management, this dynamic duo took the pizza business by storm and made Little Caesars into a household word.

Visions of making money in the pizza business danced in Mike Ilitch's head when he persuaded a local nightclub owner on Detroit's West Side to let him make pizzas in a kitchen in the back. Even though pizza at the time was considered a teen-age snack food, business boomed.

Mike, however, was on another career path as a talented shortstop, with a remarkable batting average on the Detroit Tigers farm team. While waiting to get called up to the big league, he traveled from city to city with the farm team. When his teammates would be looking for the local ballpark, he would be eyeing the local pizza joint to sample its product and learn more about the business. Pizza was clearly in his blood.

When Tiger teammate and fellow shortstop Harvey Kuenn moved up to the majors, Mike decided to trade in his baseball glove for hot pads, but he didn't have the capital to invest. Over the next few years, Mike worked hard at door-to-door sales and later with partners in an awning business. Marian was managing their finances and building up their nest egg to achieve their dream of owning their own business. In 1959, that savings account reached a grand total of $10,000, and they began formulating a plan for their first pizza restaurant.

They chose the Detroit suburb of Garden City and a new convenient place to shop called a "strip mall" for their first site. They needed a name. Mike liked the name Pizza Treat, but Marian tried to think of what suited Mike. They had only been married four years, and he was her hero even though he hadn't accomplished much - yet! "I considered him my 'little' Caesar," said Marian. And the name was born. Their restaurant would carry the name Little Caesars Pizza Treat.

It cost about $25,000 to open the doors of that first Little Caesars. With only $10,000 saved, they borrowed an additional $15,000, committing to monthly payments of $500 for three years. It was an exciting time for Mike and Marian Ilitch as they worked together toward that grand opening day of May 8, 1959 - the first day in what is now a 40-year history of Little Caesars restaurants. Today, Little Caesars Pizza remains family owned and operated.
