  • I believe it's the same one.
  • I don't know about cockroaches - kind of doubt it, but grasshoppers are delicacies in Oaxaca state. There is a Oaxacan community in a city close to us and as soon as I find out the best restaurant, I'm going to try it.
  • A lot has been written about the differences between western medicine and eastern medicine - viewed as "alternative" by us I guess. If more than half the world practices medicine differently than us there must be some value to it.
  • No, supervisor stupidity can't be blamed on HR, and please don't take this personally, but the fact that it is happening this way is an HR problem. What can we do to ensure that employees are treated properly, become trained employees, and make goo…
  • In my opinion, a lot of what the author say's is valid. There is a reason why we have been talking about being strategic partners for 20 years - we aren't viewed as being qualified to be a strategic partner. If the SHRM poll that is quoted by the …
  • Now, that's an article every HR person should read. I've got to go through it again before I make any other comments.
  • I don't know either. Should this be in the recipe section?
  • It's not necessary. Don has already admitted the superiority of western football, and more specifically the Oregon Ducks.
  • I think I have some of yours as well. Maybe we can all gather them up and send them to you.
  • Nothing. Dissecting is what we all do, especially in this section where political differences are most evident.
  • I expect, both ways. We all use points to bolster our argument, and it is not uncommon for someone to then say "wait a minute, the last time you said ----------". Not unusual at all. In fact, in one of your posts on this thread, a response to me…
  • Fairness.
  • Nope, my posts had nothing to do with Ca.and your version, nor likes or dislikes. I don't like or dislike you personally since I don't know you. All it was was my reaction to what I came to view as a relentless skewering of the former President. …
  • I don't agree or disagree and simply hadn't thought much about Carter over the years - guess that is more to the irrelevant side. The thing I remember most about him, other than the hostage situation, was the incredible inflation - 10 to 15% annual…
  • Fast forward a few years. I wonder what people will be saying. I don't think that it will take near as long as it has for some to decide that Carter was and is "bad".
  • Goldberg's book was plugged on the Daily Show three or four weeks ago, along with Goldberg as a guest. Goldberg had a tough time with one of Stewart's questions - out of the 100 people who have done the most damage, only 3 could be called conservat…
  • I didn't count the words, but Don's last post appears to be about 5 inches of irrelevance. Lot less than the original post, though.
  • Huge yawn. That's why a panel wouldn't work for me - I'd nod off half way through his presentation.
  • Don most probably can't answer these questions without a long speech or a story, but as near as I can tell, former President Carter should stifle himself just because he should, and the difference between Zell Miller and Carter is because one is coo…
  • No, we don't need one more bubblehead. Oh, wait, that's already happened. Silly me.
  • Jeez, Parabeagle. Don was just sharing. He knows the motives, pecadillos and foibles of Democrats. I don't know how he knows this stuff - he just knows. Just in the first page of the index to this section I have learned about Carter, Jackson, Sh…
  • Forgot about the Daily Show - we catch that one about 60% of the time.

  • Average probably 2 hours a day (evenings), including weekends. Mostly the news, Discovery and History channels and a bit of PBS.

  • You are absolutely correct. One can look at the size of government now and see that it has grown smaller by leaps and bounds, especially under the current administration. Smaller and more efficient government is right here among us and we didn't ev…
    in Confusion Comment by Gillian3 July 2005
  • It takes that long to drive from Arizona to Mississippi? Or, is it the return trip which takes 180 days?
  • I'm sure that you can sign up on-line. If you are a member maybe that will give you a little extra and they might help you sometime when you think that your rights are being abridged. The ACLU is for protecting rights. They fought for, and won, th…
  • I didn't move from England to California. My parents moved me first to Ithaca, NY then Jacksonville, Fl. I moved myself from there first to Missouri, then Colorado and finally California.
  • True. Science changes as new evidence appears and maybe new evidence will reveal that current facts aren't. Maybe scientists will be proved wrong after all and earth is really an octogon, or ---------. Maybe historians will read your posts and ma…
  • Your post got me thinking some more about "facts". Is it a fact that the sun will rise in the east? Since the earth rotates and also rotates around the sun, isn't it a fact that the east will be the first area to be exposed to the sun tomorrow, r…
  • Probably 389.
