Whoops! I read how to do that; hopefully I'll remember at the critical time! Tell you what--I'll try one on my next post!

Thanks, guys!

Ooooohh, I've had this stuff before and it's WONDERFUL!!! My sister-in-law is not allowed to attend Thanksgiving festivities unless she brings this along. Once, she told me I could have the leftovers. Then, while she wasn't looking, her dog licked…

Both of these sound very good--thanks! I believe I'll make both recipes. I'm sure my family won't mind!

My mom used to make this and we all loved it. Has always worked for my husband and kids, too! Mom called it "Busy Day Beef Stuff" and it's easy & quick! 1 1/2# ground beef 8 oz. cooked macaroni 8 oz. American or cheddar cheese 1 can French (f…

I, too, received this e-mail some time back from a friend (?!). I laughed the rest of the day. My 10-year old son had been asking for the Captain Underpants books (he'd read a few of them). I went out that very day and bought him the entire set. …

That's great! I'll never again see a penny on the ground without thinking about that!
-
I suppose I'll just have to run a whole lot faster there, then!

EEEEK!!! I was planning to visit Di-troit for the first time this October, with intentions of running the marathon. Now I'm frightened. :-S

One of my most effective methods of time management is to let calls go to voicemail when I'm in the middle of something. This accomplishes 2 things--I don't get interrupted and potentially make mistakes, and I can be better prepared to respond to t…

I'm a little late to this thread, but I just have to chime in. I "grew up" in the trash business--my dad owned and operated a disposal business. Christmas was always great for him and our drivers--lots of goodies from appreciative customers. Howe…

Don't forget to exercise--walking, biking, whatever you enjoy. Keeping active makes you more inclined to want to eat healthfully!

You have a magic wand, too?! I've tried waving mine on occasion to "poof!" people away, but seems to do no good.

I feel your pain about the fundraisers. Last year, my kids' school, in its infinite wisdom, initiated a candy bar sale THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN!!! #-o Needless to say, selling chocolate candy bars wasn't so easy right then.

My mom once had a Chevy Deluxe named Clyde. We also name trees. We have Rosie, Max, Rover, Barry, and Nita Noelle. We're otherwise fairly normal.

How about "y'all" or "youse guys"? Nah, Forumites will do. Then again, Forumaniacs has a nice ring to it. . .

You go, Girl!!! I am always so amazed by those who are able to quit smoking. I've never been a smoker, but I know it's terribly addictive. My grandpa died from it. I wish you all the best--hang in there!!
-
Is that the same one my husband refers to as the "Commie News Network"?
-
I know what you mean--our computer system used to be set up so that, when you logged on, that day's birthdays came on the screen. We had to stop, since some of our employees didn't want others knowing when their birthday is. As it is now, each dep…

Okay, now I'll try a haiku (my first!) since I'm obviously being quite unproductive today: I seek HR help The Forumites I consult Their advice is sage
-
I can't get ANY work done this afternoon--Paul (and Margaret) have got the creative juices flowing and now I can't stop: Some advice from my former boss, Lloyd-- Union companies are best to avoid They’ll sure drive you nuts No ifs, ands, or buts An…

I'm not much of a haiku writer (sorry, Paul!), but I love to write limericks: I can't come to work there today I'm sick and at home I must stay But imagine the gall She turns up at the mall But still wants sick benefit pay!
-
A company I worked for in a previous life did this--negative enrollment. Unless you specifically declined in writing, the company automatically deducted 3% towards 401(k). It was a large, multi-national company, so I'd assume they'd know the regs.
-
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal about this last week--might have been Wednesday. Apparently some larger companies has saved substantial sums, although the results are more mixed for smaller companies.
-
Amen!

Our company tried to sell a more attractive medical plan to our union EE's but, for reasons I won't even attempt to get into here, the union rejected it. So, we put all of our non-union EE's on the more attractive plan and they love it. For once, …

My understanding of this is: "full time" and "part time" are whatever your company defines them to be. Summary plan descriptions usually define this as far as benefits go, but otherwise, it's the company's call. Helpful hint: get a policy defined!
-
The company I'm with has been self-funded for years. We also have EE's in several states. The biggest problem we run into is finding a network to cover multiple states. (We prefer to stay with a minimum of networks for adminstrative ease.) Often…

This would be more of a policy-type suggestion, but allowing employees short periods of time off to attend to family matters (school issues, doctor/dentist appointments, etc.) can certainly help reduce stress. Even if the employee must make the tim…
