You could come here to Fargo... oh, wait, don't come here, Fargo sucks donkey balls.

Bah, we've had made-to-order, fresh sandwiches as fast food for years. I have 3 within 5 minutes walk of me

Everyone has fresh made to order sandwiches and have since the dark ages. The question is do you have good fast ethnic food besides kabobs?

1st of all, it's called 'casual fast', not 'fast fresh', and as much as it's growing, continues to be a small % of the whole market. FE, Hardees in the Midwest has been bought out by Yum!,Inc. and will all become Carl Jr.s. Second, he hasn't been losing money for over a decade, but just in this decade, after the recession. He probably would have able to pullout of bankruptcy but the financial hole that has been dug in the last 4 years is too deep. To his credit, he lasted a lot longer than just about every other franchise in the market, including OmiCorp which had about 80 units.

And lastly the Midwest has plenty of great asian restaurants, and if you read my last thread I started you should know that there is a least one Thai restaurant around here... fortunately there are a few more. I haven't seen any Vietnamese restaurants outside of Chicago, tho.

And WTH would I want to work in Manila @ phillipine wages!?

I like sashimi much better then sushi. It is amazing how often people confuse the two given how different they are.

Hmmm... I prefer sushi over sashimi but chirashi is the best.

Didn't say he had, I said he'd been putting his salary back into the business for a decade. In any event, he'd been riding close to the edge for a while, mainly because of that one particular store he made the mistake of buying. How you managed to make it profitable is beyond me.

So, bro? Dad gonna fire ya before the end of the month?

To save on all that expensive texting...

[Theben]

That ****'s cheap...

[Lancer]

Seriously though, could you go there and hang out for a couple oif months? Have your checks auto deposited in a US bank and write checks against them there? You've been paying in long enough, get something back on your own terms.

And remember, only date divorcees, cuz they'll have sex with you.

What are you talking about? I live in a navy town and old the old coggers have their favorite shore leave story while in the PI. Most of those old farts are freaks.

That would be pretty cool, except that I'm still paying my student loans, my car, and insurance, and the bill from the last trip overseas...

My expenses are over $1200/month. I figure that even with decent unemployment I'll need a job by the end of next month...

[Lancer]

Oerdin, that's why the Phils threw us out...

Theben, damn, can you go to one of those debt relief places?

[Theben]

My credit is still in good shape, thank you very much...

Seriously, most of it is rent, auto/insurance, and student loans. Plus cable & cell phone.
