From working at the clown (quite a few years ago), given their menu, there isn't much that can be repurposed. They don't cut the leftover fries into hash browns, for instance. They really don't produce that much ahead of time, anyway.

Most of the time now, with the holding trays for individual proteins that have replaced the full sandwich heat lamps, there are probably no more than say 5 cooked quarter pounder patties on hold when it's slow (depending on the store). During a rush back in the day, I could have 10 or more of those on the grill at all time, and barely keep up.

And that's just the big ones. The smaller patties for Big Macs and Happy Meal size burgers cook really quickly, and during rush I'd have 10-15 going constantly. Slow times, just a few cooking every once in a while.

TL;DR - McDonald's really tries to minimize food waste, and pretty much tries to stay just ahead of rushes without stockpiling cooked product.

Freddie Mercury had a girlfriend who, by all accounts, he loved deeply. I know a gay man who adores lap dances at straight strip clubs, because he's a boob guy.

However you work this out, you need to have a heart to heart with you fiancee soon. Don't leave her out of this, wondering.

If something were to happen to me, this is what I want my family to know. I am dealing with severe chronic pain, and am on a highly regulated course of pain management. I hate it. I'd much rather be the 50 year old productive member of society I'm supposed to be, instead of the divorced, disabled, depressed, opiate taking husk that I've become.

If it wasn't for art and my innate curiosity of history and the world around me, I might not have the reasons to continue. Almost all of my "friends" have written me off because of the meds I take, including the psych Rx for depression. But I learn and accomplish something new every day.

I'm in Louisiana too, and I've been through the wringer with the "mental health system" here. Bobby Jindal has blood on his hands.

Just FYI, if you ever get around to looking around the Sabine Pass area, there is an albino dolphin(s?) that has been documented from time to time in that area for the last decade or so. It's pretty amazing.

What advice do you have for someone who is physically disabled and in a lot of pain?

I was married for 10 years, and am having trouble in the dating department as well, with my limited mobility, and being 50 years old limits my options as well. Just not a deep dating pool. Suggestions please?
