  • Another Capricorn here. Only three of us so far. I too ensure that our supervisors understand who owns the porblem and that it isn't me. I always inform our employee ranks that I will be their strongest defender, unless/until their side of the s…
  • Tried my first real attempt at a diet on January 1, 2003. Stayed on the Atkins plan for three months and lost 70 pounds. After losing 70 pounds it just seemed to stop working. I must admit that I have put back on 15 pounds in the 3 1/2 moonths si…
  • I agree with HRbanker, plus you can often take care of the matter without having to reveal your source/EE that gave you the information. This can save them from having other EEs "get back at them" for being a snitch. I have informed the president o…
  • POPEYE, good to hear from you. Our group was called "The Reveliers." We were based out of North East Ark. and the Memphis, Tenn. areas. We mostly ran all over Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tenn., Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and some in Texas…
  • In what part of the country did you play in the gospel group ? I played electric bass and sang second tenor and MC'ed for a semi-pro gospel quartet (sometimes trio) in the mid-South area, Memphis, Tenn area. This was back when the National Quartet …
  • All I have at work is an "Evil Catbert stuffed doll" a gift from my boys. At home we have beautiful, ornage/yellow/red corn snake, two very mischievous ferrets, a gecko lizard, one cat, one dog and one turtle, so far. With two boy scouts, you neve…
  • Spending so many years in Arkansas with the Clintons will turn you into a die hard Republican. But then no one else could make millions of dollars for writing a book about the events that happended over a period of time that they had just sworn in…

  • Be careful for what you wish. Back in my Arkansas days we used to wish for the same thing. Get him elected to President and we get him out of Arkansas. But on the flip side have you noticed that they did not move back to Arkansas?
  • We have a governor in Missouri that I would love to give to someone. My boys are not even in the Public School System but he is cutting the education funds for the State something awful. Hope everyone has a great weekend, Dutch2
  • Hold out for a Chevy or GMC.
  • Wrong, just more responsibilities and you have to answer to the Board of Directors. There are a lot of advantages in not being a corporate officer.
  • You truly have potential as an HR Professional.
  • After finding this site a few months back, I am questioning if I will even renew my membership in SHRM. Dutch2
  • 1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES? >*White (mostly) >2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? >*Daniel >3. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? >*I don't have a mouse pad >4. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? >*What ever I am playing with my boys. …
  • Ditto.... I too learned the hard way some years back, do not sent the rejection letters to the "runner up" applicants until you have the new employee firmly on board. Dutch2
  • Most all of my grandparents and great-grand parents, also my better halfs family, lived to be in their upper 80's and some even mid 90's and they were all mentally as sharp as a tack when God informed them it was time to go home. My dad on the othe…
  • I have to admit that I have a son that is 30. Goodness where have the years gone and how did they pass so quickly? Now that the good Lord has seen to bless me with two more sons, ages 14 and 11, I am doing the most that I can to spend all the time…
  • Happy birthday from another 50+. Hope you have a great day, Dutch2

  • Speaking of the old and worn out mall walkers.... have you ever tired to keep up with one of them as they proceed at great speed around the mall? I had to quit before I had a heart attack.
  • Having spent most of my younger years in Arkansas, I thought the state motto was, (must be spoken with a slow southern drawl and a bit of hill-billy slang) "At least we're ahead of Alabama." Dutch2
  • I'm to fat for my dancing shirt. Have a great Friday the 13th.
  • I got 25 of them. Could not think of "Smile you're on Candid Camera." Not sure of the time frame, but for some reason this brought to mind Captain Kangaroo with Mr. Green Jeans, Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit and the antimated stories of Tom Teeerrific …

  • It is amazing how one can recall such memories. I think I got them all but 25. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Dutch2

    in New Job Title Comment by Dutch2 May 2003
  • So far - so good here in central Missouri. We have had only minor damages due to strong winds, water damage and lightening strikes. If you watch the weather channel, you already know that more sever thunderstorms are predicated for Saturday and Su…

  • SOAP = Neal Pittman EXOTIC = Bonsai Yeager
  • Guess it is truth or dare time.... I must confess I worked for Wally World from 1973 through 1994 and they were very good to me and my family and I take great pride in having been a Wal-Martian. This story will ring true with the grocery store bas…
  • Yep you bet. We also spent a couple hours in the Wildlife museum. Both of my boys are really into Boy Scouts so they had a blast in both Bass Pro and the Wildlife museum. They especially liked the virtual deep sea fishing experience. They were w…

  • Absolutely, the dog woods and red buds are blooming... but warm and sunny? Where in Missouri are you located? Here in mid-Missouri it is not warm and the sun is not shinning. I do not have window, but I can see out of my assistants window. I was…

  • Maybe there is a bit of common thread developing. I too am the frist born, did the speech thing in HS and College, and also majored in Sociology with a minor in PE.
