  • My last grandparent died when I was five. Last summer I was helping my father clean out his sister's house. I kept picking up pictures and asking who they were - I thought my father was going to cry when he realized I didn't know what my grandparent…
  • Our groundhog didn't see his shadow - his hole is still buried under two feet of snow. So spring should be here in six weeks, but I don't think winter will have left.
  • I always had a ha-ha joke with my husband about putting the toliet seat down (which he generally did). But while on vacation last summer, he left it up one night. I didn't realize it, not only fell in, but knocked by back out, sprained by wrist and …
  • First you lose Old Man in the Mountain, now this. Hopefully, 2005 will be better. Deidre
  • I will never understand suicide watch for people convicted of murder. I agree - rope, secure rail and a rickety stool.

  • I now get to hear stories of my husband summering in a cottage community across the pond from where we now live. His family owned a lumber yard, and when the oldest was about nine, the three boys (9, 7, 5) stayed home - alone. They were responsible …
  • PBS/ Frontline did a show on Walmart recently, it aired with us on Tuesday night. I focused on Walmart's dependance on production in China and how they have basically told some US manufacturers to move production to China or they would not be price …
  • I just opened a newletter from SHRM, which has an article on Lawrence Jackson the new head of WalMarts People Division. He has an extensive background in retail supply and operations - but not in HR. With all their problems, I would think they would…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-16-04 AT 08:40AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Yesterday MSNBC had an interesting article on the next 5 areas to be gobbled up by WalMart. They discussed the failure of Toy R Us, because they could no longer co…
  • I thought PETA was "People Eating Tastee Animals"?
  • We have a tankless water heater. Its 10 years old and we love it. We have never had a problem with having enough hot water. No problems with New England weather (and we are on the water with a brisk north-west wind). Ours is a Weild-McLean (or somet…
  • We'll have all good thoughts heading your way!
  • I was just watching this and had two co-workers run in my office because of the screaming child. They are still laughing. Happy Weekend.
  • Heard the follow up details over the weekend. Termination one was the formal with write up, final check and unemployment information (required in Mass. terms) - the nice knowing you, theres the door. Termination 2 was, don't you remember yesterday w…
  • They finally got the hint and didn't come back today. Security was waiting this morning in case a stronger explanation was needed. I did clarify with Maryann (HR Director) - the person did not have a memory problem (I asked if they might not be able…
  • Exactly, it just struck me a funny. I wondered if "unable to follow simple instructions" was included in the (1st,2nd or 3rd) termination notice.
  • Last year my town had a similar event, about a dozen firetrucks, all types of earthmovers, etc. I had never seen so many men need to take their kids to an event before. (they let the adults climb on everything too).
  • It must be twenty years since I had mine removed, and I still remember the joy of the occasion. Congratulations.
  • There was nothing better than hearing Him live - I'm just feel very honored to have had the privilege.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-27-04 AT 11:50AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I just sold a one bedroom condo (third floor walk up and very basic) in Bridgewater, MA for $119,000. I had bought it in the late 80's for $18,000. We just had our…

  • To help the executives into the modern age, our IT department tried to give them an introduction to email (more than just send and receive). However, they weren't actually suppose to send anything. But of course, they sent all types of stuff out. It…
  • Not to sound like I don't have a sense of humor but - 1) NaeNae55 - it could be rabies. 2)Shadowfax - they are vicious little animals; and since they don't have the best dental care, their bites usually become very infected. I had an experience wi…
  • That's why you should take up scuba diving - head to toe neophrene (sp) keeps things like that from bothering you.
  • I can't imagine living anywhere but New England. I especially love my little town of Lakeville. We are near Providence and Boston (NYC is only 3 hours away), we have great sports (politics for spectators), 4 seasons (so just as you get tired of one,…
  • Congratulations and best wishes. I didn't know they had off-street parking in Somerville.

  • Thank you, I'll mark it down.
  • No I won't be there for the conference. I will be going to University of Wisconsin, Madison for the HR Management School at the Graduate School of Banking (I hope it has a nickname)in August. I'm really looking forward to visiting Michigan and Wisco…
  • Oh yes, I'm counting the days to the New Orlean's Jazz and Heritage Festival (last weekend of April and first weekend of May). I go every year for one of the weekends. This year, I'm going for both and driving the gulf coast to Cedar Key, Fl. I've n…
  • Or if your from Rhode Island a cabinet. (Just to add to the contraversy)
