  • I appreciate how I can always count on you to be behind me, Ray. Way, way, WAY behind me. x;-)
  • I thought you didn't want to be Lucy! Didn't you say that somewhere on the thread? Or am I suffering from oldtimer's disease here? I've dug myself in so deep here I'll need a backhoe to get me out!
  • HRQ - I know that's how the game is played, I was married once and I couldn't push a noun up against a verb without stumbling over some kind of double standard vis-a-vis women. But I need to re-dub you another character - Mjindra is the original …
  • HRQ, the "boys" did NOT meet in Oregon. Some nonsense about them wanting me to buy their plane tickets (which I could hardly justify when I turn in my expenses). Besides, I know what women are like when they're all in the same room - man-bashin…
  • I'm in. I think it would be a hoot. However, I want a definitive listing of unacceptable and inappropriate behavior distributed to all attendees prior to departure along with a list of employment law and tort lawyers who take cases on contingency.…
  • Maybe you're not greasing the right palms, Ray. When I worked for an environmental company, we always got the Zone 4 EPA contract (basically everything west of the Mississippi). Once, I asked why we never bid on the Zone 1 contract (NY and environ…
  • Great way to generate revenue! x:-) I like Oregon's process. No voting machines. All elections, both general and special, are vote by mail. Take your ballot out of your mailbox, vote, sign the enclosed affidavit, secure the envelope, mail it bac…
  • Marc, don't get Ray involved. His company makes voting machines! x;-)
  • I can relate, Slogan. Here in Oregon, I live in Portland which is the state's largest city - heavily liberal and democratic and surrounded by rural, conservative, predominantly republican cities and counties. Since we in Portland have the highest …
  • Now don't you go adding any fuel to the fire. I'm in enough trouble as it is, Raymond A!
  • Are you trying to get me into trouble, Sonny? Sure sounds like you are. I know that if I did that you all would be solidly behind me -- way, way behind me.... x;-) Oh, wait. I've already used that line once today.
  • We're not polite company - we're in HR! x;-)
  • I was always taught that in polite company one never discusses politics, sex or religion.
  • Welcome, slogan. The Republicans have a party? For a good grounding in some of the more controversial and lively threads, I suggest you look at the ones regarding the display of the Confederate flag in the workplace, atheism, the display of a Meno…
  • No, no, no. The twins thing has nothing to do with it. Ray responds to MY posts, I don't respond to HIS posts - the timing just makes it SEEM that way. x;-)
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-19-03 AT 12:07PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Glad you're on top of it, Mel. Ray needs a keeper. x;-) As for me, I'm just killing time waiting for our holiday luncheon to start and chomping at the bit to clo…
  • >My dear friends. With absolutely no offense >intended, I think you are all getting a bit >paranoid. Remember, Sonny... just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you... buwAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! x;-)
  • I just want to make sure I don't say the wrong thing and dig myself into a hole, which I think is what happened earlier and helped precipitate the "appropriate content" post.
  • Well said, Leslie. xclap I personally have tried to stay away and tone down the acerbic commentary, but I agree that the Forum does seem a little more "white bread" than usual (and I hope I don't offend Pumpernickel bread by saying that).
  • No, I haven't seen either of them. Tried to read the trilogy when I was in school and I just didn't find it interesting. The first two are on cable now, though, so maybe I'll try and catch them. Thanks for the insight, though. x:-)
  • What's a Viggo Mortenson????
  • I can only remember one Christmas when I was very little in which we actually used icicles - I remember my father complaining so much about the bother that I suspect that's why every year thereafter we had a flocked white tree with matching ornament…
  • See? Ray doesn't need my help to get into trouble here. He's perfectly capable of doing so all by himself. I've even left things alone for a few days just to let things simmer down and off he goes... x;-)
  • You're right, Don. I misread the protections against discrimination based upon association with others based upon their protected class status. Disregard.
  • Don't validate Ray's being right, FHR - you'll only encourage him... x;-)
  • I still think pursuing counsel is the right thing to do in this situation (but then, I'm accustomed to lawyers sticking their noses into everything), but you should do what feels right for you in your particular set of circumstances (I had forgotten…
  • I know, I didn't get it. Four separate entries from different properties (and someone on the Forum) suggested Pillow Talk or Pillow Talk Gazette or something like that. I don't understand how so many different people could come up with the same na…
  • I didn't say you were stupid, Ray. Now go play your trombone.
  • What goes around comes around, Ray. Don will suffer for his comments - after all, it can get pretty dang cold down there, too. Coldest weather I experienced this year was Alabama in January - low teens to low 20s.
  • Keep your hands in your pockets and just muscle your way through? Sounds like a plan to me.
