  • I also read the post from the employee. It does seem that someone must have guided her to the proper site. I like the open forum and would hate to see the members become reticent about posting their concerns. Is it possible to lock particular thr…
  • Deadly foes "If the two presidential candidates this year were John McCain and Joe Lieberman, you'd see a lot more crossover and less political polarization," says political scientist Richard Fiorina, coauthor of the book, "Culture War? The Myth of…
  • Thanks Beagle! The actual quote is "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have nor do they deserve, either one." Thomas Jefferson. It's one of the personal things I have posted by my desk, along with a picture o…

  • Pollyanna is going to chime in here. I will say that I do not have affiliations with either the conservative or liberal camps. The United States is the light of the world b/c of the freedoms its citizens enjoy. I've often thought when watching th…

  • For some reason this year I have a calendar with British holidays on it. Their daylight savings time started early this week. Get this -- they call it "Summer Time". That just strikes me as really funny........x:7
  • Sorry Paul, I'm not really replying to you but wanted to post a couple thoughts. I don't post frequently but I do visit regularly and have found this site to be valuable in my work and entertaining personally. I am amazed that there are people who…

  • Doesn't this scenario read like a case study in a master's level business course?
  • I'm with Beagle on this one. Tap, Tap. As my dad always said, "If its worth doing, its worth doing right." But as a conservative lapsed Catholic I'd torture myself with guilt for the rest of my life.....xpray
  • Having been out of the service so long I was combing my data banks for the true meaning of Tango Uniform. It just came to me, first smile I've had all day.....xB-)

  • We tried the no gun thing for our son. Just didn't like the idea of a kid running around pretending to shoot people. He of course built them himself out of Lego.....#-o. That was a good lesson in the futility of trying to control the world around…
  • Isn't that what we do in HR?
  • 1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES? green and yellow 2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? The Silver Sea (sci-fi) 3. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Don’t use one 4. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Trivial Pursuit 5. FAVORITE MAGAZINE? The Atlantic 6. FAVORIT…
  • Oh yeah, she didn't get out much........x0:) (altho some of them really were pretty fine.....)
  • Long ago in another life we told my future mother in law that FIB meant Fine Illinois Boys......x:D
  • Two huge pet peeves from driving. I drive a car, unusual I know but there are still a few on the road, my beef is with the mini van, p/u truck, SUV drivers who place their vehicle in my line of sight, when I'm trying to turn onto a highway.....xx( …
  • Frank, that's just the boy you used to be talking.....the world has moved on But we all have our weak spots, I admit a fondness for old Glen Campbell songs, "Galveston", "Wichita Lineman" etc....
  • Oh come on, the absolutely worst song ever recorded was Kung Fu Fighting, hands down, no contest th-down
  • I don't for sure that it's on the wedding song list but I never thought "Every Breath You Take" was well suited to romance. Sounds more like a stalker to me.......
  • Laughed out loud at a couple of these...... My Soap Opera name: Pemberton Elliot My exotic name is not exotic: Bonnie Andrews......
  • My personal favorite was the lady who couldn't come to an interview on short notice b/c she had not done her laundry since returning from vacation and had no clean underwear......way more info than I needed.....
  • One of the clinics in our area has solved the calling out of names in the waiting room issue by giving the same sort of beepers you get at some restaurants to the patients. What a fabulously easy solution!O=*
  • Basically, the power ballads currently being sold on late night TV.....
  • Oh excuse me! That would be Golden Earring......
  • Hello..... I can't believe no one mentioned Springsteen! The 1st 45 I bought was "4 Dead in Ohio" Am I revealing my political leanings? Currently listening to the Chicago soundtrack "Whatever Happened to Class?" is a hilarious song......:DD
  • >1)find out early on how he treats his mother, (2) determine up front >whether the bulge in his back pocket is a wallet or a Skoal can, (3) >ask him if he has ever hit a woman, and (4)ask him if he knows by name >any nurse at at t…
  • Oh tearjerkers then...... I'll go with Old Yeller, Sounder, Brian's Song, Gone with the Wind, Saving Private Ryan......
  • I am also fond of To Kill a Mockingbird. I love watching Atticus shoot that rabid dog. My favorite part of the Holy Grail was the black knight with all his limbs gone. But as I have grown older I find the holy hand grenade much more amusing...
  • Any Monty Python movie, But "The Life of Brian" and "The Search for the Holy Grail" have to elicit at least a few chuckles. If you can quote lines that's even better....... call "We are all indviduals." response "I'm not!"
  • My strongest points helped me survive the Army, being a stay-at-home mom, in my HR career, and reading this forum. They are my keen sense of the ridiculous and an appreciation for theater of the absurd.....xclap
  • You mean free lunches wouldn't work????? Darn, I thought I had a bargain.....
