Social Speaks: Suing McDonald’s

March 2, 2014 Leave a comment


An individual is suing McDonald’s for $1.5 million due to only receiving one napkin with his order. When he asked for another one, he claims he was treated rudely. He then emailed the company, who offered him free food. This did not satisfy him He claims he is unable to work because of “undue mental anguish” he suffered as a result of the “napkin” incident. What do you think?
Kristy Lynn Johnson I think that judge will laugh in his face
Janet Bericic I can only HOPE the judge will laugh in his face..
Lauri Bundy Canarsky He can only do it with the support of an attorney. They’ll sue for anything.
Dan Tierney FREELOADER !!!!
Kathy Peterson oh for crying out loud……..
Kathy Peterson actuallyany attorney who would take this case should be treated like the nutcase that they would be representing….I don’t think there would be any trouble having someone committed for this one
Donna Hirt Villwok I think he is nuts.
Kay Gibbs Kommers Flush Him he’s taking up good space and air.
Brooke Johnson What a joke! People are so money hungry, it’s disgusting!
Susan McGrath Unless the worker shoved the napkin down his throat… This guy is a fool and will be taking up time in court… By the way what type of dumb lawyer takes this case????
Connie Jo Peterson There is numerous times we have not gotten 1 napkin…Oh brother!!!!
Anneeta J Van Buren Some sleazy lawyer will pick that up!
Toni M Helzer Oh for Pete’s sake…….I feel dumber for just knowing this is happening in the world.
Edith Gilliland Muller anything to get a dollar, people are sue happy as it is
Mary Alice Pearson Must be in the drive through cause you always get your own napkins where I go. What a deal. Hopefully the judge will laugh at him but in this day and age- who knows?
Kim Guill O M G !!!!!!! STUPID !!!!!!
Jeanne Tranmer Ridiculous ! I would say that person has a lot of more serious problems if the napkin incident caused “undue mental anguish”!
Siouxland Severe Weather I think someone wants free money so they don’t have to EARN it.
Helen Taylor Murray I think that is absolutely crazy! I have never been to a mcdonalds that didn’t have napkins out on the counter to help yourself. If that causes him distress, he must be a walking panic attack.
Rebecka Fleischman This shouldn’t even make it to court. Where has our common sense disappeared to.
Jennifer Dolezal Oh My Word it is disturbing what this world has come to because of some ppl…
Kim Thies This man sums up the definition of why our country is going to heck in a hand basket . What a freeloading scumbag. I can’t even believe this is going to court. I hope he loses and has to set up a long payment plan with his equally scummy lawyer.
Mar E Call Oh for crying out loud!! We should all send him a pack of napkins. This cannot possibly make it to court…where is Judge Judy when we need her????
Dawn Kelley Maybe Burger King could hire him as the “Napkin Police”. That is a low life attorney that takes something like this on. McDonald’s should sue him back for violating their no idiots allowed policy.

Happenings at Logan Valley Manor

March 2, 2014 Leave a comment


It seemed like February went pretty fast. The weather seemed to continue throughout the month with temperatures below normal. We do have some things to look forward to in March. Daylight Savings Time will begin on the 9th and the first day of spring begins on the 20th. March can be pleasant. In the past, it has been a month that gives us a lot of snowfall. We will just have to sit back and see what comes our way.

I want to congratulate our royalty once again. Our crowned King on the 14th of February was Robert (Bob) Depperman and our Queen was Laverne Gustofson. The Prince was Calvin Burns and Mardelle Cates was the Princess. Our residents, family and friends enjoyed a fun afternoon.

The residents enjoyed a day of making Valentine cards for their families and friends. Craft time is always a favorite activity.

We are planning on having a St. Patrick’s Day party on the 17th of March. We would like to have the residents and staff wear something green. The residents will have a chance to find shamrocks that will be hidden in the lobby. In the afternoon, they will head to the dining room for some snacks and a game of St. Patrick’s Day bingo.

We will be going to Happy Days Senior Center for the noon meal on March 13th and 27th.

Please join us at the manor for any of the activities that you see on the calendar. The monthly birthday party will be moved up one week from the 20th to the 13th of March at 2:00 p.m.

From The Activity Department

Dr. Seuss and Read Across America!

March 2, 2014 Leave a comment


Today is Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Born Theodor Seuss Gelsel, he was an American writer, poet and cartoonist. Most famously known for his children’s books written and illustrated as Dr. Seuss. He passed away Sept. 24, 1991. I don’t think there is a child, or an adult for that matter, that hasn’t read a Dr. Seuss book. It is also Read Across America Day. Let us all enjoy a Dr. Seuss book today in honor of such a fine man.

Center for Rural Affairs Respond to Revenue Forecast

March 1, 2014 Leave a comment


LYONS, NE – Today, February 28, 2014 the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board predicted Nebraska will collect an additional $99 million in tax revenue, including $36 million for the government’s rainy-day fund.

In a statement released today, the Center for Rural Affairs found reasons for encouragement in the revenue forecast, including room for optimism about addressing property taxes, but warned about harming crucial investments in education, healthcare, infrastructure and community development.

“We are cautiously optimistic about today’s revenue forecast as it indicates the Legislature may be able to address property taxes, which is what Nebraskans want when it comes to taxes,” said Jon Bailey, director of the rural public policy program at the Center for Rural Affairs.

“Nebraska’s increasingly strong economy presents us with the opportunity to make smart investments in our state and our people to protect and strengthen the good life we have built in Nebraska,” said Bailey. “Restoring some of the cuts done by the Legislature during the recession to education, aid to counties and cities and other necessary programs would be a good strategic use of these forecast funds.”

“But tax cuts that primarily benefit a few based on projected revenue would be a risky gamble that would threaten our schools, healthcare and other services every Nebraskan needs. A temporary use of the state’s reserves for permanent tax cuts without the money actually in the bank is fiscal malpractice,” concluded Bailey.
