  • Here is the recipe, as promised, for fruit salad with the strange name...make sure to leave enough time because the first part needs to refrigerate overnight. Frog Eye Salad 8 oz. Acini di Pepe (soup macaroni) 1/2 tsp. salt & 1/2 tsp. oil Co…
  • I'll make myself a note to bring in the recipe tomorrow to post!
  • Something we usually include, is a fruit salad called "Frog Eye Salad" (it includes small pasta called acine de pepi, that's what looks like frog eyes) May sound strange, but is very good - the recipe makes a lot, so I usually make this for a crow…
  • Thanks for that - brought a lot of flashback memories! I've taken the liberty of forwarding it to all the friends I still have contact with from the 80's...
  • Even though I think Fantasia should/will win, I felt sorry for Diana last night with the judges all sounding like it is "a lock" for Fantasia to win. Maybe Diana will get the sympathy vote. If only it were LaToya & Fantasia in the final - it…
  • I wonder if Jasmine got a lot of sympathy votes because of her crying after performing on Tuesday, knowing it was probably (AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN!)her last performance. I just thought it was really dumb that the best performer and singer was out...b…
  • I don't believe I have ever seen the number of votes per contestant ever publicized. I have visited the Idol website and it is nowhere on there. Which probably contributes to the suspected legitimacy of voting some weeks.
  • I was surprised how sad I felt for John Stevens last night, since I have hoped he would be voted off much earlier. He did handle everything with class though. There is rumor this morning on the radio that George actually had the lowest votes but…
  • I am glad that JPL is gone, although John Stevens should have probably gone before them (he looks so shocked each week that it is not him going off!) I can't think of any other Barry Manilow songs that could be done next week besides Mandy, Copacab…
  • After Diana's last couple of performances, I think she may not be on much longer - I originally thought she could be a front runner but she just has not been that strong lately. I loved Fantasia's performance last night - she performs like a seas…
  • If Camile, John Stevens and JPL are not the bottom 3 tonight, I will really be wondering about this voting system....Those 3 should not have even made it this far.
  • I guess if I don't vote it's hard to complain about the results, but I definitely did not agree with the bottom 3 either! Amy is a much better singer/performer than Camile, John, or Jon Peter Lewis....maybe it was the pink hair that turned people of…
  • I agree that John, Jon Peter Lewis and Camile should be the bottom three tonight and John Stevens does appear pitiful on there. Fantasia's personality doesn't bother me so much - she really looks like a professional performer whenever she sings t…
  • I was also surprised to see Diana in bottom 3. I have not been voting, but many people in my office have. One of our VP's lives in same town as Diana, kids go to same school. He is gently pressuring all of his direct reports to call in for her! …
  • I think Camile or Jennifer will be voted off tonight - Amy & LaToya were the best last night. It seemed like most of the others had a hard time with the category and were out of tune. Matt was actually singing better last night, but he is stil…
  • We have a group here in my office that is completely addicted to A.I. - including ME! We have to give our review the morning after each show before we do anything else! I started watching last season and became hooked. There are so many this yea…
  • We are just under 100 employees
  • I put our latest revision of the handbook on the intranet and it has worked out fine so far. Our industry is digital graphics services, so it was about time we utilized the same technology to keep our policies up to date. Many employees commented …
  • Hi - I went through this same process about 3 months ago and if you do a search on topics you will probably find the thread that gave me a lot of great advice on this area. (search for "intranet manual") We did put the manual on intranet and made …
  • Hi Skylyon, I had just updated our release form for obtaining driver records about 2 months ago. Here it is & I hope you find it useful. Traci DISCLOSURE AND RELEASE In connection with my employment (including contract for services) wit…
  • Thank you all for your input! Rockie & James, I appreciate your suggestion on moving everything into a PTO bank - I had campaigned for this solution a couple years ago when CEO complained of abusers, but management was not receptive to the con…
  • We just changed in July from ADP to Paycor for cost savings. I myself do not do the payroll admin, just use it for HR purpose. How I miss ADP! Our payroll is administered in different company location, so I access paycor through a citrix server. …
  • Thanks for your input. I did notify the ee that she will not be able to work from home. She is being returned to work 2 weeks earlier than expected anyways, so she doesn't have that much time left on her hands.
  • We match 25% up to the first 4% of compensation
  • We switched to Fidelity direct a couple years ago when we were having service problems with our past direct relationship (Strong). We explored about 8 different alternatives and felt the most comfortable and secure with what Fidelity offered. I…
  • Our company has just under 100 employees and we moved the COBRA admin. in house a few years ago - I was nervous about having to administer it myself but it really is not too bad. Given that our COBRA premiums are pretty expensive, there aren't that…
  • Thank you all for your input - She dropped off a check on 6/8, and the original check was recieved in the mail today (6/10), which will be applied to the next month's coverage. I appreciated the advice of notifying her that reinstatement will not b…
  • Our policy is that we pay severance only to managers or to employees with 10+ years of service. The amount is one week salary for each year of service.
  • I know that our carrier (Blue Cross)does not consider going to COBRA as a qualifying reason to change PPO options (different deductible, co-pays). I had someone wanting to change to the lower cost option when they elected COBRA and BCBS kicked it b…
  • Our company pays about 65 - 70% of the premium for health insurance, depending on type of plan selected and coverage level. We pay 100% of premium cost on life, ltd, std.
