  • This might not be relevant, and I did not read all of the previous 48 (or so)posts. But, what would be the financial impact to social security if same-sex partners received survival benefits? Could the social security system afford this increase?
  • Many, many years ago, I was on a cruise and a very nice looking elderly woman was in a wheelchair and had an attendent with her. The ship staff told us, she decided that if she went into a nursing home they would make her sell her home and belonging…
  • I'm holding open enrollment meetings and trying to clean my desk for the end of the year. It is so quiet here it is great. And so far, no one had called. This is a perfect workday!
  • We're here at the FR5 too. But we had an HR/ Marketing tea and cookie party with the President (its his first Xmas with our area and I don't think he has been to a girly tea party before). Its a social/ last chance to do billables day.
  • My favorite Christmas card this year said "May you never be too grown-up not to look for Santa on Christmas eve.
  • I had been looking for this last night. It isn't the holidays without reading this. But I miss the section about the "Earth-based Goddess Worship" employees burning sage at the "grill of death". Happy Winter Solstice to all!
  • I had one of those - I got $10 on ebay for it.
  • I miss Filene's Basement too. When I was first an HR Assistant, our HR Director let us come in two hours late when they had their really big sales. She new we didn't make much and could really do well with business clothes there. I miss her!
  • In Taunton, Mass., Taunton residents can shoot Rhode Islanders on Sundays.
  • Unfortunately, we had a cloud cover and didn't see a thing. I did get to have fun with my SO. He was starting to set roots in his recliner when I called for him to see the event. I called into him that it was just like they said - it looked just lik…
  • Just as a suggestion - is there a parrothead club in your area? You can find out from Margaritaville.com. Parrothead clubs allow you to earn the right to buy tickets through charitable work. You still pay the same price, but each club earns an alotm…
  • Massachusetts doesn't have as "interesting" a selection but we have the pronunciation tricks - Assippini (A-sip-ini), Assawompset (just like you would guess), Leicester (Lester), Worcester (Woster), Scituate (Sit-u-at), Glouster (Gloss-ter) and Belc…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-21-03 AT 08:14AM (CST)[/font][p]Let me date myself first - 42yr. I live off the beaten path in Lakeville, MA, on a hill overlooking a pond. We often lose power because of downed branches. I almost loo…
  • I find the PT Cruiser a chick car that guys want. Everyone I know who has one (about seven) the male "bought"it for his woman. I think the Grand National (dating myself) is a guy car - I can't touch the pedals on it; but I drive a Saturn (kind of ne…
  • I agree its a chick car. But both my brother (6'4) and sign.other (6'2 and #300) are seriously considering getting one because of the head and leg room.
  • This has nothing to do with abbreviations, but reading about SIN brought it to mind. Our bishop had a great story of the first time he visited a Nantucket chapel - from the alter the stain glass says "Go and Sin More". The "No" gets covered when the…
  • You can order them from the Vermont Country Store - but I refuse to say how I know this (Weight Watchers may be watching).
  • Fresca is my favorite and making a come back, its really good with rum, tequila, etc.

  • I was wondering when we would venture into the "bubbler" question. I went to a regional high school (centuries ago). The towns (bridgewater and raynham) may have been geographically next to each other, but we spoke two different languages - soda vs …

  • Morning all, I'm a libra (10/17) and yes, I do like balance (and happy employees).
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-10-03 AT 07:22AM (CST)[/font][p]I've always been on a diet. I've tried everything and am back (with my guy) on weight watchers. We're doing well (holiday weekend and left overs haven't helped). I have…
  • I recently had a lady apply for a part-time teller position. Her previous employment was as a Common Street Walker (I really wanted to ask if there are other categories). She did state she had been arrested and was now in recovery. She stressed she …
  • I'm in banking also. We interview on the spot when possible. I have come to like seeing people when they do not expect an interview. People who show up in inappropriate clothing (like the t-shirt described elsewhere)say one thing and the ones who co…
  • I would call the VFW. Around here, they will (very nicely) ask the owner if they would like to have the worn flag retired properly.
  • If your profile weren't disabled, I would email a copy of ours.
  • Spouse, child, parent, sister, brother (step relations of same kind) or person who is a member of and living in household = 5 days, Grandparent, grandchild, mother-, father-, brother-, sister-, son- or daughter-in-law = 2 days, Aunt, uncle, niece,…
  • I don't have this form, but would like to institute a similar policy. Could you forward me any replies? Thanks - [email]Deidre.Fountain@frfive.com[/email]
  • We ask this question every year to our state employer group and lawyers. It is the mirkiest area out there. We have been told we are ok with "token" gifts (clocks, etc.) that have no "cash value" to the receipient and are not given as payment (not a…
