  • Hey!!! Or, 'Ya der hey', as they might say in the UP: I resemble that remark. If you've never seen "Escanaba in da Moonlight", see it to get a true picture of Upper Michigan.
  • What??? You guys get alerts at your bedside when someone posts??? What do the rest of us have to do to stay up with what's going on? Get some sleep! You'll all be in a better mood during the day.
  • Coming from someone who spent a career in government, I don't know whether to say you know what you're talking about, or to say that apparently even far sighted individuals like the three of us can work for 'the government'. It's a clear course of a…
  • Hey, I'm thinking that Ray wouldn't stand the two of you up on purpose. We've seen pictures. Give him another chance.
  • ZERO TURNOVER
  • Oh,.........Ahhhhh,....... Did I ever mention that my wife's a blonde?? I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell her that I told this story about her if you ever meet her. Ray - At our age, we all get confused.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-07-05 AT 07:07AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Gee, I'd like to help, but 50 is so long ago at my age that I don't remember anything about it. Edit: Can't get that emotion icon to work - must be too old.
  • So true. My son and his wife have a cat which I get to cat-sit whenever they are on vacation. This cat is evil. I'm actually mildly afraid of the beast. It growls at me deep down in its throat when I enter their house, and it only retreats when …
  • Give me some advice I can use Geno: Should I sell my house now, are we at the top of the bubble? Should I be in some type of contra fund, or should I be betting on continued strength of the market? Where will the next terrorist attack be?
  • Only the Don!
  • Same "Memphis", but a better version. Some people even in the business will tell you that he didn't record it, but look around. It's playing on my PC as I type. It's on the "Maverick" CD, and at least one other "Collection" CD. "One Burbon, One …
  • Speaking of your hometown, isn't that BTK's theme song???
  • $3.29/gal regular unleaded, up by $.60 since yesterday in the Milwaukee area. Yikes!
  • They make small, inexpensive siphons. Don't risk your health with the hose. x:D
  • And, "After four hours, may result in serious injury". Perhaps, more serious than the sunburn.

  • $2.769 in the Milwaukee metro area. Here in good ol' WI, we have something like the second highest state gas tax in the nation. I think it's around $.37 or $.38 per gallon now, and indexed to the price of gas, isn't that great? The legislature do…
  • Certainly no intent for a personal spin. I, also, have an 'almost son-in-law' with a 12th grade education who works at Harley in production and made something around $100k last year, but there are a lot more employees at Wal-Mart and McDonalds who …
  • Denise: I'm not a teacher-basher, as a matter of fact, I have both teachers and school administrators in my family. My perception is colored by what happens in WI, but here are some statistics that you might wish to be aware of: Percentage by whi…
  • Quite the discussion. I have to admit that when I first read your topic line on this forum, I thought the discussion was going to be about unionized teachers. They've prostituted their values and professionalism in an attempt at financial gain, an…
  • I'll have to agree that y'all are more fanatic about football and its accoutrements than us northerners in general. I've never heard of a northern mother soliciting a 'contract' on a classmate of her daughter because she was in competition with the…
  • Don - Where do you come up with this stuff???I think you should have been a writer - something more in the way of creative arts than HR. Although I do agree that we missed Crout's contributions to the forum during his absence.
  • I couldn't agree with you more! My wife was never more beautiful than when she was carrying our son. I know that women, at least in the past, had a hard time accepting that, but that's the way I felt and I tried hard to convince my wife of it. To…

  • Unfortunately, we have seven tv sets in our house. (Actually we have eight, but one has been relegated to the basement) My wife cannot be in a room without turning on the tv. Even when she reads, which she does voraciously, she has to have the tv…

  • "Running to an accident"? Good Grief, Don, don't you know you could fall and exacerbate the situation? Were you carrying scissors?
  • Must be because you've 'flipped your lid'. Fortunately, I haven't had to take FMLA leave, but I certainly would fill out the paperwork if I had to. And, you shouldn't be the one who determines if your request meets the requirements. There should …
  • I hate to disagree with all of my esteemed Forum friends, but we all operate within the framework of acceptable risk. Do you suppose Columbus, Magellan, etc, etc, demanded that all risk be taken out of their voyages before they pushed off? Do you …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-19-05 AT 10:30AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Good ideas from the Don. Like Gene, I considered getting a law degree. We practice law, but without the degree. Maybe it would be better with it. On the other …
  • Huh??? No, I don't see. I saw the article too, but didn't give it a second thought. As I recall it, the women's village was thriving on tourist dollars somehow. What tourist is going to help out a men's village when the men are doing the kinds…
  • At least they used to let us think we were in control. They won't even allow us that dignity any more.
  • 'Management by walking around' Good Theory. Not wasting time. I remember my first job which wasn't doing actual physical work - I wrote technical inspection manuals. At first, it bothered me a lot to have my boss walk past my cubicle and see me "…
