Thank you for all your great stories. My personal favorite is the lady who attempted to steal the bowl from the lobby! Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publishers, LLC

Don't worry Don, my mother-in-law slips her sweet tea and sausage gravy when she thinks I'm not looking. I'm sure that pickled pigs feet will be soon to follow. Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publishers, LLC

My baby, Sophia, is just six months old, so I'm just starting my foray into the world of home made baby food. She is only eating one-ingredient meals right now, so I have made her butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, zucchini, peas, and pears.…

This Forum Police Officer is grossed out as well, and will be going home to purge her pantry of cream of chicken soup tonight! On a related note, I just started making homemade baby food for my 6-month-old to reduce the amount of perservatives and f…

I'm a little late to this thread, but here's my bizarre w/c story. I didn't get to witness this, but an attorney I used to work with did. Back in the 80's he had a summer job at a die-cut facility in Milwaukee. There was a machinist there whose job …

As most of you know, I hail from beautiful St. Germain, Wisconsin. We celebrated the Packer victory in big style in my house last night. My 3-year-old wore his full-on Packer regalia to school today. It doesn't hurt that his teacher is originally fr…

Ah, beautiful Medford. Just down the road from infamous Antigo, right? I thought you might enjoy this story - my brother always gives my son Packers stuff for any gift-giving occasion. This morning, Hiatt (age 3) insisted on wearing his packers sock…

Hunter1 - Where's your cabin up north? I grew up in delightful St. Germain, WI. Ever been there? Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publishers, LLC

I have been to baseball games around here that don't have (gasp) brats! What on earth? Dat just ain't right. My husband teases me all the time because I'm always telling my son to "come over here by me." Ahh, you can't take the Wisconsin out of the …

I'm originally from WI myself - up by Eagle River doncha know - and we say the same things, except soda is always soooo-da. Do yous guys have a bubbler by dere, too? Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publishers, LLC

If Regency doesn't work, there is always Hilton, Raddisson, and Motel 6. Actually, Hiatt is named for legendary songwriter John Hiatt. Now my husband is vying for Django (Django Reinhart), Townes (Townes Van Zant), or Earle (Steve Earle)for #2. I j…

Thank you all for your kind wishes. Our little bundle of joy isn't due until February, so I'll be around for quite a while yet. My three-and-a-half year-old son has it all figured out, it will be a boy and will be named Hiatt, just like him. We need…

Wven with the fine print nonwithstanding, I will be unable to pose in the HR Hero shirt, because it does not come in maternity sizing. Yep! I'm the next forumite to fall prey to pregnancy ... must be something in the water around here. Anne William…

Sorry, I can't post my picture - no one has ever allowed me the high honor of owning an HRHero t-shirt. Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publishers, LLC

HRQ - Get ready, anything they say at home will be amplified in public! My husband made the mistake of saying, "That was mine!" after one of his belches, and now Hiatt, my 3 year old, says it every time - no matter where we are. Anne Williams Att…

The doctor said it was your garden variety mosquito. I'll certainly jar up a few of the ones we have around here and send them your way, Don! You'll have to let all of us in on the results. Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publishers, L…

This incident just occurred a few weeks ago and I am still smarting from it. Please excuse the graphic language! My 3 1/2 year old son developed some sort of insect bite on his "private parts" that caused his "member" to swell to about 10 times th…

I'm happy to see all the Cancer/Leos on here! I hit the big 33 on July 17th. My hubby came up big with lots of presents and even an ice cream cake with Rocky Road ice cream - yum. Of course, my 3-year-old hit me in the back with a cup of orange juic…

In fact, Christy and Cole just stopped by the office. Both are doing very well. Here in Tennessee we have a state FMLA law that allows mothers to take off up to 16 weeks, so Christy has been enjoying that time with Baby Cole. Maybe she'll stop by th…

Here's my Iowa-Missouri joke: If the bottom tier of Iowa counties was annexed to Missouri it would raise the education level of both states! I can say this since I grew up in Des Moines and am married to a native Bootheelian (if that is a word). H…

Well, that's the problem. He's an auditor. Not exactly the height of creativity. And, he's thinking of an aol address, not a website. I have told him to jump off the cheese train with that idea. Anne Williams Attorney Editor M. Lee Smith Publisher…

Do any of you ever get brown-nosey/cutesy ones? I have been battling with my husband who wants to change his email address to: hirejeffrey. I told him it was way to cutesy (not to mention pathetic and overeager) to be considered professional. Opinio…

Gillian and Franfields hit on a topic I have been researching lately: the importance of background checks, and how to perform them correctly. The next HR Executive Special Report will be on that topic. If anyone has any interesting stories, or ques…

Jessica, We have two Special Reports that address the issues of violence in the workplace, and also offer guidance for implementing a policy: The H in OSHA Stands for Health, and Workplace Violence & Employer Liability. If you are a Law Cente…

The FLSA does not specifically ban you from giving compensatory time to exempt employees in gratitude for their long hours. However, it is not a good practice because tracking a non-exempt employee's hours could be evidence that the employee is trul…

RT2, Christensen is still good law. It applies to employees in the public sector, such as states, counties, municipalities, etc. In general, those governmental employers may require employees to use comp time rather than pay them overtime (subject …

Don, it is not possible for a Forum Moderator to edit the text of a post, but since James is the Web Editor, he has certain other capabilities that we lowly Forum Moderators don't possess. In this situation, he was able to fix the glitch that pulled…
