The profits come from the sales of the franchises. Once the franchises are operational, the profits go to the individual owner.

NEW 1. A friend who is a strict vegetarian is coming for dinner. You're feeling proud of your bean stew until you remember that you used a beef stock. Do you keep quiet and serve the dish? 2. On an airplane, an old man asks if you will change seats with his wife so they can sit together. You came early to get a window and don't like his wife's location. Do you move?

1. No, "Friends" don't do that sort of deception to "Friends" (Oftentimes they can taste the difference anyways, I think.) I would make a quick dash for the grocery deli vegi section. Even if it were for a single serving, the friend would appreciate the consideration, IMO. 2. Yes, I have done it before. How long could the flight be anyways? What if the plane crashed and you were left with bad karma? Regarding the Curves question, I personally couldn't participate in the program. I'm a firm supporter of Planned Parenthood and Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation with its Race for the Cure. Here is an article from one of my favorite women columnists, SUSAN PAYNTER, about the subject, in the Seattle Post Intelligencer June 30, 2004. Very interesting reading, IMO. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/paynter/180078_paynter30.html

1. No, and on behalf of vegetarians I would like to say pleeeeeease don't do that! I would rather just have a salad and a slice of bread and leave the rest to enjoy the beans. 2. On a short trip, yes. On a transatlantic trip probably not, but I might ask someone in the middle section if they would change.

NEW 1. You're late for a meeting but your path is blocked by an endless funeral procession. You see a gap. Do you dart through it? 2. The teacher asks if you wrote your son's history essay. Your son claimed he did it but the teacher's right. Do you admit it?

No way would I cut into a funeral procession. Not sure, either way you are leaving a bad example for your son. I know I would never write it for the kid so I don't think I'd put myself in that position.

NEW 1. You're driving alone on a highway at night when a desperate looking person tries to flag you down. Do you stop? 2. You're summoned for jury duty in what promises to be a tedious trial. Do you pretend to have views which will disqualify you?

Years ago I would have said yes, but now I think I would have to say no. If I did stop it would be a ways in front of the person and yell to them that I was sending help. I don't know on this one, my guess is I would try to be honest with my answers but until I am actually in the situation I don't know.

1. This has happened to me, but not in the middle of nowhere, although it was darky and not many people were about. The guy had long hair and I thought he was a woman, then when I realised I didn't feel I could just zoom off. I was nervous the entire journey but of course the guy was totally 'normal' and nothing untoward happened. I don't think I would do it again, I might do what Jagger said, and tell them I would ring the police. 2. No.

NEW 1. Your boss demands to know what a co-worker is saying behind her back. It's not flattering. Do you say? 2. You've been pounding the pavement looking for work. A company where workers are on strike offers you a job. Do you take it?

Sad day when it's not even safe to help out a stranger on the side of the road. I'll call for help for them, but I wouldn't stop, either. No. No -- but I have been pounding the pavement for two weeks now, another week or two, and I'll probably consider taking anything.

1. Depends on what was said and why. 2. Depends. No, if they are on strike because of safety concerns that were not being addressed by the company. Yes, if they are on strike for any other reason.

No, I would not tell my boss what others have said, I have been put in that situation a few times already and I basically tell them they have to ask their employee themselves. I am not much in favor of unions so I would probably take the job.

WOW this thread has kind of fallen by the way side. I dug out a book I received several years ago called "IF" It has all types of questions in it. Q 1 If you could have the answer to any one question, what would the question be?

Hey Jagger... not to step on toes, but I have the same book, and there's a thread I started in the general discussions called IF: Questions for the Game of Life. It, too, has kind of fallen to the bottom and has been forgotten about, I'm going to copy your question into that thread and see if we can't revive it?

NEW QUESTION 1. A married man of a friend deliberately makes a pass at you. Do you go for it or do you ask him to stop? 2. If you said no, would you confront your friend and tell her the truth?

1. Oh, if that happened to me now, with what I am going thru, I would probably take him out completely and go to jail. Can I ask for bail here? 2. Well, I guess she'd know since there would be such a ruckus.

I have to explain something first...when I was young, it was my situation in life to be surrounded by guys, single, married and everything in between, first as a Navy wife and then in my profession. Believe it or not...I was hit on a LOT. I always considered myself to be rather ordinary and nothing exceptional. I am sure it had as much to do with me being the ONLY female around or at least being the ONLY female around that they felt comfortable with approaching (or perhaps it was my ample chest! lol!). I never took any of these things seriously (even though some of them certainly were). I shrugged it off as just guys being guys. (Honestly the stories I could tell!!!) 1). So my answer to number one would be to use my sense of humor to let him know that he is barking up the wrong tree. That way I don't create any problems for anyone. 2). No. I decided a long time ago that it's not my job to be judge and jury. I am only responsible for my behavior.

1. I would laugh it off and tell him to get lost. 2. No, she is my friend, I wouldn't tell her because it would hurt her and anyway,if I am going to pretend that it was a joke why would I tell her.

1. It depends a lot on HOW he did the approach. Unless he was really gross and invasive, I would just laugh it off with some remark that would let him know he's being ridiculous. Hopefully he is either just playing around or drunk and not fully in charge of his faculties. If, however, he was sober and being very aggressive and verbal in his approach, then I would be stern in response and let him know that this was inappropriate behavior, especially since his wife is a friend of mine, and that if I ever saw him behaving this way again (either to me or another), I would have to seriously think about what to tell my friend. 2. I wouldn't tell her anything unless I felt this was a pattern of behavior. If he continually made rude remarks to me or aggressive passes, then I'd have to have a serious talk with her. I would hope it wouldn't come to that, but my loyalty would be to her, not him.
