Thank you. You got that right. (Gillian3 - sorry I spelled your "name" wrong!)

First, with great humility, I appreciate being placed in the same context/category with Parabeagle, Gilliam3 & Whatever - thanks Don. I didn't feel like rising to the bait immediately, and as others have spoken so well, I second others: "Gott…

Parabeaglex2 - well said. Living Don - One pattern of Bush's that keeps getting us into trouble is that when it comes to religion and form of government, it's his way or no way (Christianity & democracy). I happen to believe in both, but I also …

Here are some workable solutions: - get Congress to trump W's vetos and refuse to pass his programs or confirm his justices - put Cheney and Rumsfeld in the same room and let's watch them verbally backtrack and duke it out to clean up the presentati…

In addition to everything others have said, in the news report on TV last night they aired a clip of him verbally describing his thoughts the first time he went out to strangle someone, and told in the commentary that he actually went on and graphic…

Gillian3 - ditto. Dasher - ditto.

We could use this to incite war on Rove??? What inflamatory idiocy!
-
Where did you get the idea that they have to follow the same rules as the rest of us or do anything that doesn't effect their own families and paychecks?

I'm with Parabeagle - I believe that an apology does provide very helpful closure for some people. I also think most people are smart enough to know that the apology is for past actions, and only very few make it personal on either side, and know t…

Have him get with OJ and Michael for legal defense references. I'm kind of disgusted with the whole thing. The one comment I read this morning in the paper that I liked was, maybe now he's got the 'not guilty' verdict, he'll finally decide to grow …

I bought one under duress a year ago. It is the cheapest model (no camera, internet, etc.) with the lowest number of minutes I could find and the only time I used them was during a move when the phone company did not get my land line connected for …

Thanks for your efforts in honor of my gender, however, Pixie's scenario has been presented to me by multiple suitors as a legitimate and realistic expectation for wedded bliss, which is why I'm still single!
-
Right on! I think they missed the joke (or they weren't there).
-
Not speaking from experience, but some of the "script" in the "training" film might not be expected even in a strip bar. He definitely shot himself in more than the foot on this one. I believe the quote with the comment on his resignation was someth…

My favorite was a 45 by the Archies I cut off the back of a Sugar Smacks box. Can't even guess how many strange things we had to eat for my brother's prize cravings. Rule was if you wanted the prize, you had to eat the cereal.

I'm twitching and your nose is growing!!! (Actually there was this great episode where every time Darren told a lie, his ears grew. How's your hat fitting?)
-
Possibly not everyone's idea of a superhero, but I've always (and still) had a desire to be Samantha (as in "Bewitched"). I'd much rather twitch and zap the bad guys and gals into such humiliating situations they surrender and look like idiots....

I have no children, but I remember well what it was like growing up in our house. Corporal punishment and anything else our mom could come up with - and we were never "bad" kids. As soon as I read both of the examples here, I knew what would have …

I'm a Legal Assistant (now "paralegal") specializing in HR (employment law issues), and female. I liked the double twist that could be read "HR lass" or "HR Legal Assistant". However, as of next week I am being transferred away from HR work and rea…

I don't know Terri's full story. But I know or am familiar with three others. Karen Quinlan - her case never went beyond the courts in New Jersey. She was in a Catholic hospital and when the courts finally gave the parents permission to pull the p…

For a three to four day business trip I can get away with 2 pairs of shoes (casual and business), separates (pants/tops/jackets I can mix and match and adjust for weather, evening or cold meeting rooms), 1 nightshirt, 1-2 casual wear items (includin…

When we discover questionable use of internet or email (situations like yours), they receive no publicity, but the individual receives an appropriate level of discipline (depending on track record), and shortly thereafter our CEO sends out a general…

You have to watch both FLSA and IRS regulations on this. We were recently told that even $25 gift certificates may be included as taxable income to employees. We have Employee Recognition Awards which can be made at any time to any employee, merit a…

We do not have a policy and have not had one for years, but as of yesterday, we have posted new guidelines. We are a southwestern utility, and things do have a tendency to get very casual so we decided to reign in a bit. Certain jobs require unifor…
-
The laws vary by state, however, basic guidelines include only "convictions," not "charges". You can generally go back 7 years for criminal background checks (convictions). The other relevant points include the job and employer - checks must be mor…

Calico - Thanks for covering for us - Susan - Welcome to the Forum! Carolyn

I hadn't actually thought of this before, but I have seen it at our company also and the partial days on Saturday and Sunday can lead to abuse. I've seen it manipulated before. If you want to keep from paying for full days on weekends for a few hou…

Larry isn't suggesting it, the new regs require a "written policy" in order for full day unpaid disciplinary suspensions to be legal for exempt employees. The other exception is if the violation was of a major safety policy or practice. In our indu…
