Spelt

According to "The Oxford American College Dictionary" there are two definitions for spelt.

The first: The past and past participle of spell.

The second: An old kind of wheat with bearded ears and spikelets that each contain two narrow grains, not widely grown but favored as a health food.

Just to set the record straight

Christy from TX to Marta E.

Hang in there! Have faith in God! We will all get passed the recession! Work hard for new ideas new promos. Fight for the business you have built from the groung up with sacrifice and dedication. I know that because we just oppened up a Meat Market. It is no piece of cake putting up a business!

Our Hometown Restaurant

I am an owner of a hometown family restaurant in Arizona (Recipes Family Restaurant). I appreciate the comments made of supporting local business. We are barely making it through this recession; however, we are fighting to keep it alive since we believe our restaurant makes a difference in our community. Our patrons love our fresh, homestyle food and we feel if we can hold out for the economy to turn around, we will make it. So I am thanking all of you who support local business. Small business is a drowning industry.

YOUR HOMETOWN RESTAURANT

AS A RETIRED RESTAURANT OWNER WITH FORTY YEARS IN THIS FIELD, I URGE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT PRIVATELY OWNED RESTAURANTS IN YOUR AREA. DURING THE RECESSION, THE INDIVIDUAL OWNER DOES NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF CORPORATE BUDGET CUTS, SCALING BACK ON EXPANSION PLANS AND FACES THE VOLNERABILITY OF RISING PRICES FOR FOOD AND COMMODITIES. THESE ARE THE BUSINESSES THAT HIRE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND SPEND THEIR PROFITS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

recession affects everyone

I think obama is doing his best,its going to take more than a year for him to fix this mess where in ,personally I think that everyone need to fall to their knees and ask god to deliver us from this turmoil and ask that he give every one the strenght to move on.

WHY

How come I choose to read abt restauants closing down and I get into the same old muck abt health care.

PEOPLE wake up, get down on your knees and thank God you live where you do. Take off the blinds Obama is playing us all like a fine tooth comb, talk to those in your family who can remember WWII and the things we went without in order to win the war. WE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
