I'm a big ice cream fan, so I was excited when I came across A FRIENDLY LIFE: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF S. PRESTLEY BLAKE (Brigantine Media) by Prestley Blake with Alan Farham.

It's the story of the guy who partnered with his brother Curt to start a small ice cream shop in Springfield, Massachusetts in the depths of the Depression. Through hard work and long hours, the brothers worked long hours to create the Friendly Ice Cream Corporation, a 500+ restaurant chain now known as Friendly's.

The short book has three parts to it. Part 1 was my favorite. Blake describes how he took the idea to sell ice cream and then ran with it. One key to his success was that:

* We avoided debt like the plague, fueling almost all our growth from profits. On rare occasions when we did borrow, we repaid our loans as quickly as possible. If that meant we grew slowly than we otherwise might have, that was fine by us. We paid our bills fast, which enabled us to get one or two percent off for prompt payment. Maybe that sounds corny or old fashioned,
but it's the philosophy that carried us through 43 years of running Friendly Ice Cream.

He also wrote about some of the famous people he met along the way who gave him advice (when he asked for it):

* Mr. and Mrs. Penney lived at 888 Park Avenue. One night we sat around their library and talked. There was no liquor. Mr. Penney wouldn't have liquor in his house. The maid announced that dinner was ready. We got up to leave the library for the dining room, and, as we left, Mr. Penney waited to be the last one out. As he went by the light switch, he very quietly shut it off.
He was always watching expenses, even five cents worth! That made an impression on me. Thrift was in his bones.

Part 2 had less interest for me. It was an account of Blake's life outside the business. He discussed some of his friends, as well as the places he visited.

Yet in Part 3, A FRIENDLY LIFE again came alive. The author interrupted his retirement at age 86 to file a shareholder lawsuit against the new management team that owned the company. It took him some ten years and eleven million dollars to help set things right again, but he did. The account of the struggle even became the basis of a Harvard Business School case.

I also liked the Epilogue, "What I Tell Kids" . . . there's a lot of useful advice in just two pages, including this tidbit:

* No matter what business you go into, never hesitate to ask advice from the most senior and successful leaders. They're never too big or too busy to share advice with young, ambitious people who approach them with sincerity and respect. Remember the reception I got from J.C. Penney, Harlow Curtice, Tom Murphy, and other prominent people who were willing to help the young, struggling Blake brothers.

the chips are awesome, but the shipping pretty much made crumbles out of them, and with what they cost after adding the shipping, unfortunately, we will not be able to get them again untl they reach our locatlity, but they are awesome!!

one bag was popped open but the other one was in very excellent shape. Next time in the future if they could possibly put them in 2 different boxes. Separate from chips vs drinks, so the chips will not crush as bad.

They've changed the chip and the packaging. The chips are smaller than they used to be, and there were less in the package. 1st package had 9 chips, 2nd package had 11. Honestly, I can't help but think that it was a waste of plastic/packaging to put so little in each package. Pringles scrimped here. The flavors variety seems to vary. We got 2 cheddar, 5 sour cream, and the rest were original.

This company has been bought out by General Mills.  Not saying that's compromised the product itself, but it is something to be aware of when speaking with your hard earned money.  That said, my kids do like this brand/variety as a special treat.

Bought Uncle Ray's Wavy's 16 oz potato chips because purchased  Uncle Ray's 16 oz barbque potato chips in the past and was very pleased. Oh how wrong we were.  Do not purchase the Wavy's chips!!!!!!!!!!  They are the quality of buying a no name bag of chips from a roadside service station store; broken, brown, very poor quality.  Very, very disappointed.  DO NOT.......DO NOT......DO NOT purchase Uncle Ray's 16 oz Wavy potato chips

OCTOBER 03, 2012

Bought Uncle Ray's sour cream and onion flavored chips for the 5th shipment with extreme disappointment. The other (4) four shipments were very good which is why we continued to buy this flavor.

The additive that when you like an item and start to buy a lot, it will change for the worse is proving to be true for us.  This shipment of chips are awful.  Bags are extremely deflated, so was expecting to be stale; however, was not so - cannot not explain the semi-flat bags.  Chips seem to be the bottom of the barrel flakes.  You know when you try to salt your food and the top comes off, the seasoning on these chips is like that.  It appears that the top came off a full bottle or these are the bottom of the barrel crumbled chips where the seasoning has covered the chips too, too much. .  We just opened (3)three bags just now because the first bags was awful, opened second bag - awful, opened 3rd bag - also was awful.  LEFT WITH 6 MORE ,PROBABLY NOT EDIBLE, BAGS. THE CHIPS REALLY APPEAR TO BE THE NOT SO FRESH, BURNED/BOTTOM OF THE BARREL, GET RID OF LEFTOVERS.  VERY, VERY, DISAPPOINTED.  WILL NOT BUY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jet Chips are a complete and total ripoff! In Tests of 5 major brand "performance Chips" they tested with a 0 increase of any power, etc. increases. The only thing they increased was their revenue on unsuspecting victims..

Well, first let me say I would have given this product 5 stars, but I originally had issues with it. First, and I know the description does state that the chips may change, however it should not be only one bag of something displayed on the box. The box will not contain as many sour cream and bbq chips and you think it would. Its inundated with cheetos, doritos, etc. Second, they were rather on the stale side. I contacted the company and they gave me the option for a refund or another box. I selected another box and I told them that my favorites (sour cream and bbq) practically was void and the other bags were stale. The second box was much fresher but there was only 2 bags of sour cream chips and 2 bags of bbq chips. So, that is why I only gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, the company was humble and aimed to please.

The chips are good. Have been purchasing them for years. HOWEVER, the last shipment was purchased as a pack of 15 bags. Instead, we received a total of 9 bags. That is a big difference.

Madelyn/Maddie owned the Rosewood Bakery. Maddies dad had helped her put together a business plan. She renamed it to Madelyns Bakery And tea House. She decided to offer a regular set of baked goods and each day add one item like lemon tarts. Maddies best friend was Lydia. Emmett owned Woodys a bar that was across the street from Maddies house she had recently bought. Maddie is getting up very early to make her bake goods for her business . Maddy  needs to go to bed very early at night but she isn't getting much sleep as the noise from the bar keeps her awake. Maddy asked Emmett to tone down his bar but she was told he would try but but he wasn't breaking any laws and maybe she should move. Maddie and Emmett get in a shouting match and have to do community service together. Then they start to really get to know each other.
I really like this story it was really good and at times I laughed out loud.  I didn't really like Maddie as a character as Emmett was right why buy at house when you literally do have bakers hours. but I do like the ins and outs that Maddie and Emmett go through. I recommend.
I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.

Best chips I have had by far.  Unfortunately, they are hard to find at a good price.  Best I have found is $40 for 24

The marshmallow receipt is good and easy to follow. The Hot Cocoa receipe was very sweet, but we might not have followed it quite right. There is a difference between White Chocolate chips and white chips.

Just received my fav chips today thru S&S. Hint: not a good idea to pack a case of Chips in a big box with a case of water. Just sayin'. A few broken chips aren't turning me away from my fav, besides the Terra box was very strong--not too much damage.

Ordered these chips expecting to get several bags (maybe 3-4 bags, 16oz. each) as company indicates shipping weight is 5 pounds and cost is $7.99 & shipping $6.99. Imagine my shocked and disbelief when I received just ONE-8oz. bag of Humpty Dumpty BBQ  potato chips. It looks like they grabbed a bag of chips off the shelf, shoved it in a Fed-ex box. The chips ( I mean crumbs) arrived today and when I contacted Kennebec Foods, the response I got was "how many 5lb. bags of chips have you seen".  Needless to say they are only interested in the bottom line....and screw the customer.  This company does not even deserve 1 star.

This board game by Hasbro, the original creators of Transformers and My Little Pony, and which features a land of candy is amazingly super cute. I had hours of belly busting, knee slapping fun playing with my brother and his amazingly fantastical friends Ash Ketchum, Optimus Prime, and Sailor Moon. I look super forward to playing again with my family and friends. Love, Crystal.
