    Great link I noted today at Dean's Garage about the Ford Rouge plant in the early '60s, when men were men and cars were built mostly by hand.

    Can one of the moderators check my account to see if I am ready for the sign-in process change? I do have an edmunds insider account with the same email address as the account that I use for these forums. Is that all I need to do to be ready?

    I can’t believe how fast these last 10 weeks have passed by.  It seems like only yesterday that I purchased airline tickets for my son and youngest grandson to travel here to South Florida from Palm Springs airport.  They are arriving Thursday afternoon.  Too bad they will only be here 3 nights - but that’s better than none.

    I decided to limit our outdoor activities due to 92-95 degree temps and extreme humidity.  Probably the movies Saturday and clothes shopping Friday.  Dinner and breakfasts out.  My grandson told me he loves pancakes - so IHOP here we come.

    So looking forward to their brief visit.  ;)
    In one breath you say you love your grandson then with the next you say you will take him to IHOP. Why? jmonroe
    He LOVES IHOP!  Whatever he wants, he will get so long as I am alive.  I haven’t seen the youngest grandson in many, many years.  But when I called him last week, he was quite specific about his love of pancakes and IHOP!

    JM, you would not want me to deny my grandson of such an important “urge” now, would you?  :D

    I thought the sentence was going to end differently. Instead of ; "My grandson told me he loves pancakes - so IHOP here we come." I thought it was going to be "so Aunt Jemimah pancake mix, here we come".
    IMO, that is much better than going to IHOP. jmonroe
    More fun watching Mike put on his apron! :p
    No cooking this trip for my son and grandson.  Going out for breakfast and dinner - home for lunch if we are at the condo.

    They are going to a lot of trouble to keep me off of here.

    I wonder if our very prolific friend will find his way.

    I just tried signing on and nothing worked...it was all frozen up, or was that just an example.

    As long as he likes them OK but you'll never get away with taking me there when you invite me to stay with you. However, I will accept a shopping spree. Just tell me when they leave and you change the sheets. :D

    Yes, they did. They want to try and sell more burgers so have become Ihob.

    IHOP's decision to rebrand as IHOb baffled many pancake lovers .

    But according to the chain's president, there was a very specific strategy behind the change. And the burger-centric revamp began more than a year before the IHOb brand went viral over the past week.

    Last Monday, IHOP — the International House of Pancakes — announced it would change its name to IHOb, flipping the "P" to a "b."

    Better check that menu to see if they are still in the pancake business.

    IHOB was just a publicity stunt. I think it worked.

  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,814
    yup. they did it as a stunt. Name is still IHOP. But, it worked like a charm. Millions of people who did not realize the chain even still existed spent time talking out them!

    to me, it's Waffle House or get out. Too bad we don't have them up north.

    Ah. I thought pancake house must just be a Florida thing. I saw the PH in VA and NC. One of the highlights of driving all the way down when our daughter was in college in N. Carolina.

    If you made an Insider account with the same email you use here in the forums, you've done all you need to do, and you're good to go. Other than signing in with your Insider password like it says in the login system change announcement there's no secret handshake to know or anything like that ;)

    An outsider account has all the same rights and privileges as an insider, except you are on the outside looking in and can't do anything. :'(
