Posted by: HisMan at July 5, 2009 5:03 PMHey all! We have a local dog park here in Fairbanks that is under funded. This park is a great place to take the family to go socialize our family pup with others. They're having a dog calender contest and I entered my pup Rocky! Its a $1.00 per vote but all funds go to the local dog park to keep it going!
If you would please vote for my pup so he makes the calender & saves our dog park that would be awesome!

Yes, yea for CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) poor animal conditions, force-feeding and growth hormones; deep-fried foods loaded with saturated & trans fats, heart attacks, clogged arteries, and strokes; single and married mothers over-worked & unpaid, not getting by on mininum wage. This is the true face of fast food.

Posted by: Bethany at July 6, 2009 10:59 AMCarder, which one? lol :) BTW, how do you like Bonnie's udder?
Posted by: Bethany at July 6, 2009 11:02 AMWe've got 69 votes now! :D
Posted by: Bethany at July 6, 2009 11:03 AMNow that' a good question.
Your kids' shirts are stunning.
Then again, I would like a share of that nifty prize of yours.
So to make it socialized, how about we all share those shirts together! I wear it first.
lol! :) Sounds like a plan. :)
Posted by: Bethany at July 6, 2009 11:39 AMNot a big fan of Chick Fil A, but I voted for your kids, Bethany. Cute pic.

Posted by: Lyssie at July 6, 2009 2:41 PMYay Lyssie! thanks!! :) Up to 96 now! :)
Posted by: Bethany at July 6, 2009 4:31 PMBethany, I'm sorry I made that comment. I've always admired your artwork, I'm not much of a fan of fast food as well as just in a bad place right now. I look forward to checking it out the first chance I get to go to the library. It sounds like you've put a lot of work into this.
Posted by: Rachael C. at July 6, 2009 6:19 PMRachel, I understand- when you feel so strongly about something it's hard to hold it in. I appreciate your comment though!
You might be interested in finding out a little bit about Chick Fil A- I've read up a lot about it in the last year, and it's much different than other fast food restaurants. I'm not saying they don't mass produce chicken for food, but they do pay their employees well, treat them extremely well`- and the service and quality of everything there is absolutely wonderful... You can read "How did you do it, Truett" to get an idea behind how Chick Fil-a got started, and all of the great benefits a person working there has as opposed to other fast food places...I think it is one of the most unique places to go- (and I would work there in a heartbeat if I was ever in need of a job!)... every toy they have is educational- sometimes they have full versions of books, such as Black Beauty, Robinson Crusoe, etc...and I just love being able to give those to my children, rather than the boring Burger King toys that I want to throw away in 10 minutes. I have actually lost weight eating at Chick Fil a, because I love their southwest chargrilled chicken salad with spicy dressing- and get it every Tuesday for 6 dollars when the kids eat free- four people eating for 6 dollars is quite a deal!
Okay, I'm sorry for how long that was... that was a really long winded way to say that I am a fan of Chick Fil a and think it stands out from the others...hope you understand where i'm coming from! :)
BTW, I hope that you had a great July 4th! :)
Posted by: Bethany at July 6, 2009 9:41 PMYou just wrote Chick Fil A's next commercial. From a satisfied customer...
Posted by: carder at July 6, 2009 11:08 PMVoted! No Chick Fil A's in Australia though- we have Red Rooster, Chicken Treat, Nandos and Chooks instead (and KFC, which I avoid like the plague... angioplasty, anyone?) My grandma used to take me to Chick Fil A in Indy- I always had the impression they're an ethical company. Hope you win, Bethany!
Posted by: Michelle at July 7, 2009 8:28 AMCarder, lol! :)
Michelle, is that you? The one who drew the picture of Caleb and Bonnie years ago?? Thank you for voting! It's been a long time since I have heard from you- how have you been? (If you're not the same Michelle, I apologize!)
at July 7, 2009 4:06 PMI voted for you! I looked at all the other top 20 pics, and I would have voted for yours even if I didn't know you. Great job with the costumes and the photo!
Posted by: Lauren at July 7, 2009 4:08 PMI voted! Chick-Fil-A is actually a CHRISTIAN company. That's why they are closed on Sunday. The founder (I forget his name...embarrassed red cheeks here) actually made that company policy...that they are more interested in giving The Lord HIS day (Sunday) than making money being open on Sunday. I saw him several years ago on 'The 700 Club'..that's where I got that info. :)
Posted by: Pamela at July 8, 2009 8:03 PMPamela, Lauren- thank you for your votes!
Pam, you are right- his name is Truett Cathy. You can read his series of books, which are really good, and really inspiring. I love reading books by men and women of Character, and who love the Lord.
Sorry, Bethany- I don't think I'm the Michelle you're looking for!
Posted by: Michelle at July 9, 2009 8:22 AMOh okay! The Michelle I know also lives in Austrailia, so I thought it might be her! :)
Thank you for voting though! :)
Hey,
You have moved into 3rd!! :)
at July 9, 2009 12:23 PMCarla, woohoo! I am excited! :D
