This lifestyle tip might just be localized to the United States,
I don’t know.
But it’s a moderately dandy tip if I do have to say so myself,
For those who like to keep their eating under monetary control.
Now we all know, I’m a fan of fast food,
White Castle still rules,
But I frequent them all …
Especially Taco Bell after 2:00 am. 
Anyways,
Here in the States, many of the fast food chains have value menus or dollar menus,
Where they feature select items for a reduced price.
At McDonald’s,
The double cheeseburger is usually on the Value Menu for abour a buck ($1).
I usually order off the Value Menu,
Unfortunately,
On occassion I do get a craving for that …
“Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickle, onion on a sesame seed bun” wonder,
The Big Mac.
But it’s not on the value menu,
And runs regular price anywhere from $2.99 up.
So my friend Long Island shared with me this trick …
Order a double cheeseburger off the Value Menu “like a Big Mac“.
Specifically,
Order a double cheeseburger with lettuce, Big Mac sauce and no ketchup.
It’s basically a Big Mac without that pesky middle bun all for a buck.
You do miss out on the sesame seed buns,
But hey,
I can deal with that when I’m getting three Big Mac Lights for the price of one Big Mac.
It’s worked everywhere I’ve tried it and most McDonald’s I’ve been to have a button on their register already set up for it,
However,
I do still recommend specifically saying how you want it,
Because yesterday I ordered it “like a Big Mac“,
And they put ketchup on it anyways,
Which was gross.
Seriously gross.
Now,
All I have to do is figure out how to make a Filet o’ Fish Light and I’ll be golden …
Just like the arches !!!

The Force is strong in the Magic 8 Ball.
I know. Wrong thread. I blame lack of sleep.
Promises, promises. How many times have we hear this before? What is the old saying? How do you know a lawyer is lying? They are talking. *wink**wink*. I kid. Really I am just teasing.
However many of us would just love to know how your life is going. How your feeling, etc. You don’t even have to get to personal, but it would be nice to hear how you are doing.
Yawn
JC !!! Wake up … the week’s not over yet !!!
careful amy us desperate sorts are coming outta the wood work could get ugly….ps if your coming to Southern Comfort would love to tell you the great places to visit in Atlanta
other amy
Hey Other Amy !!! Yuhpers, yuhpers … I’ll be there at Southern Comfort … right now I’m scheduled to arrive Friday AM, though if I can move thangs around, I’d like to try to get there Thursday night. We’ll see if I can stay out of the emergency room this time !!!
so don’t keep the blog up and now you won’t go to the emergency room … what else have you NOT been doing???????Amy!!!!!! you really have to get out and get involved with life …really i hope all is well and we hear from you soon !
Um … week’s over.
OK! we need an update from our friend Amy so maybe if you won’t give us an update or photos how about a video????? or you could just be stubborn and keep enjoying the nice weather and …… oh well .
Well the week is up now for sure.
Amber is hard at work living life. I have no eta on her updating her stuff, but given that there are soo many resources that weren’t there just a few years ago… I will say that she is doing well last we talked, and leave it at that.
However, Amy, Chica, we need to talk asap. V. Important. Not Urgent, but V. Important.
Yes, Sianna, but what about Amy?
Did I miss something ? Who’s Amber? and what happened to Amy?? anyone see her? maybe we should put together a search?
Amber had a site Amy originally referenced. See the AmyNew reference “Amber’s Site”. As for Amy, she often promises to post real soon several times before she actually posts. One assumes she’s tending to “AmyBid’ness”.
AmyBid’ness: n. 1. mischief. 2. bar-hopping. 3. drunken karaoke. 4. dithering. 5. procrastinating. 6. fossicking for loopholes. 7. knocking ice hockey.
She might be looking for a comment milestone, i.e., 100 comments, before posting again. It’s happened before.
Goodness gracious girl … absolutely not ! I’m totally embarrassed my last post was about a Big Mac and it’s been there since May. This summer has been incredibly busy, I’ve been … ah heck, let me just put what I’ve been up to in a post instead of a comment !
Ought we use the Magic 8 Ball to devine when we might expect the next post?
AmyBid’ness: n. 1. … 8. Re-doing the look of AmyNews.
AmyBid’ness: n. 1. mischief. 2. bar-hopping. 3. drunken karaoke. 4. dithering. 5. procrastinating. 6. fossicking for loopholes. 7. knocking ice hockey.
Yodette, you so totally nailed the definition of AmyBid’ness !!! LOL When I read it I was like … “Wow, I’ve done every one of those things at least once in the past week !!!”
Amy exactly what is dithering ? and fossicking sounds rather personal…good to hear from you !!!missed ya!
My question is to either Yodette or Kelli, I was wondering were either of you able to get Dr Z to correct things, I have not been able to get him too. I would like to know, and how you were able to get him to do it. Yes it is a lot of money. He says in his comercials or when he speaks that he will correct his mistakes. Amy turned out so wonderful, she is beautiful to say the least. Sometimes you feel a little short change because of it. jenn
I know this isn’t aimed at me but I had FFS with Z on June 5, 2008. I could not have been more disappointed in how things turned out and getting him to do some revisions takes a lot of badgering on your part. 6 months after surgery, he did invite me up to have some minor work done (mostly steroid shots for swelling) but a month later all of the swelling was back. I went back in July and he did liposuction on my neck but it’s been infected ever since and my scar under my chin still looks like crap.I’ve been on antibiotics off and on trying to get the infection under control but it’s still not 100%.
My best advice is to be persistent, send constant emails with your concerns, call Chris and ask to set up an appt. to speak with him and send pics of your concerns. I did all those things but the results still were very sub-par. If I had it to do over again, I would not have FFS, especially with Z. It was a bad experience in every way possible and even now, at 15 months post-op, I still have a lot of swelling, pain where my cheek implants were put in and my face constantly feels like someone is stretching it in all directions. I feel like I had realistic expectations going in but I can honestly say that in no way did the results meet my expectations.
In fact, I still have people ask me if I have ever thought about having surgery to fix some of my male characteristics. My family and friends were all disappointed in the results as well and I can’t help but wonder what in the hell happened. Yes, I am bitter, I can’t help it. This surgery cost me $30,000 and hasn’t helped me in the least. Ugh!!!!!!!!
Kelly Thank you for your honest and candiate email. I will continue to try to get him to correct some things. I just did not know how to approach it, I have called several times without much luck. It is I would like for people to do what they say and follow-up until the issue is resolved by both parties toward a satisfactory agreement. Let’s be honest these surgery’s affect each one of us tremendously and not only ourselfs, but the people around us and how they preceive us as a hole. I know that most people see the outside and that is how they generally judge us. So our facial futures are very important part of our transition. Anyway thank you so much Kelly. Amy thank you so much also.
I think that was directed at you since I haven’t had any work done yet. And it doesn’t help that we are both on here with the same name.
Jenifer, I realize I seem to be a know-it-all, but I don’t know beans about Dr. Z.. I’ve never seen his work, in the flesh.
Personally, I’ve not had any surgery in many years and don’t plan to have any more. Every surgery I’ve had has had problems minor to significant. I’ve never had a surgeon I’d recommend. I suspect most of my surgeons are long dead. My most recent surgeon was … a nice guy. And no, I won’t name names. None of them were “name” surgeons.
Thank you very much for your inputs, I guess I feel the same way about surgery, I have had several and there have been issues. There seems no other way to get where I feel I need to be. Enough to blend in with society without issues.
The other question I have is about relationships. When you are dating, when do you say anything or do you say anything?
There is no one size fits all answer for relationships. Except for a one night stand that got out of hand for a while, post I’ve never had a serious relationship with anyone who didn’t know. OTOH, most of my friends with successful relationships in a similar situation didn’t share it. I’ve not lost a relationship because they knew. I’ve friends who never kept a relationship once they shared. Either way, what’s right is whatever works for you.
I seem to recall a mention of a post regarding what AmyBid’ness Amy has been up to.
Was that just me?
In the conflict between good intentions and procrastination, I put my money on procrastination.

Jenny, I also think Amy is a very beautiful women, she should have
no problem finding a fellow. She is just so beautiful, so Amy get out there and party girl. I did think you were married or engaged though, I thought I had seen a ring on that magic figure. I thought you were one of the lucky one’s and give us all hope.

bwahaha
fair enough.
*rots*
Jenny is a beautiful name also, I appreciate the advice from all of you about relationships. I guess, Ms Amy has a lot on her plate that keeps her from posting any entry’s here. Maybe after the Southern Comfort Conference she will have a little time to be little more interactive here.
Are you planning to attend? I heard that there are more cross dressers then anything else. I have a friend in Atlanta who said the last time she was there, their were lots of cross dressers! I did not plan on attending even though, I only live a few hours away.
Jennifer I live in Florida now and will not be attending as the last couple of years have left me poor… I moved here because I lost my home and job back in Rhode Island so my puppy and I are living in my mom’s house. I am doing much better now with a fulll time job for the first time in 2 or 3 years bills are paid and I am saving again thank Godess! if you go have a great time! and if you see Amy give her a little push! hehehe
To give Amy a little push you’d need a bulldozer. … A big one.
Ok so your back from Hotlanta… did you enjoy my home
other amy
Amynews is MIA
Maybe she got lost in the Varsity or is still wandering the Malls. Is waiting to change planes at Hartsfield. Never actually heard she got here.
Other Amy
I know I didn’t see her.
lost dead and doesn’t care about her loyal fans… sounds like clinical depression… are there issues? am I a paranoid freak ( y yes but who asked)
what goes..
other amy
Hey Other Amelia ! Of course I care about my viewers, sorry I’ve been so absent … over worked and uber stressed on this end, but I’m trying to get that under control.
I have an unused ticket to Atlanta wasted because I wasn’t able to make my flight to SCC, which has been par for the course of late. Ugh. I’ll have posts this weekend. And that’s not a typical Amy-post promise. Promise !!! 
Sorry you couldn’t visit .. understand uber busy is the season to be on calenders. Hope things go well for you
other amy
Almost the end of the weekend Amy! (how about that post) Seriously though, Hope everything is going well for you
Holy Toledo!
(I can see why Amy would be depressed).
100!
