  • My brother-in-law is homeless. He spent Christmas Eve and day with us and came back for New Years Eve and day. We hadn't been expecting him and I had fun running around the house finding a few gifts for him. I also enjoy feeding him good home cooke…
  • No offense. Some people just don't appreciate nice music! He actually has a great sense of humor and was very funny in his dialogue as well. He walks the aisles of the theatre and stopped and played about 2 feet from us for a couple of minutes.

  • About six years ago, my husband gave me a certificate for a hot air balloon ride! We went in February - it was wonderful! This year we did the gift together thing and bought ourselves tickets to see Kenny G. We had a great evening.

  • Sorry you're under the weather. Take advantage of it and the holidays and rest and relax! Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery. Barbara
  • Stepping out of your comfort zone doesn't have to mean stepping into the twilight zone. If you are happy, fulfilled, and still challenged...stay put! Money and prestige aren't everything, especially at our stage of the game.
  • Hooray for the Christmas Tree!
  • I love Christmas! Last night I saw three trees at the grocery store that were about 1 1/2 feet tall. I might go back and get one for my kitchen table. We have a dog and cat so I don't hang the icicles on the bottom row of branches and only hang no…
  • Sorry yours had unexpected results. We had our last Friday and it was great. We had a potluck spread that was out of this world. We played games, had a white elephant gift exchange and just had a blast.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-10-03 AT 05:10PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I just read quite a few of these from their catalog at my director's meeting on Monday. Talk about side splitting laughter. Some more: Procrastination: Hard work…
  • I'm with mwild - I don't get the month to month stuff. We hire a lot of entry level employees and some applications have big holes in them. 2 months at McDonald's; unemployed for 7 months; 4 months at Sea World; unemployed 1 1/2 years; 4 months at S…
  • mjindra - This is a close story, but not an employee excuse. My husband was on a contract in Houston earlier this year and after he checked into his room, he went to leave for dinner....no inside door knob! And being a hotel room, it was the only ex…
  • I think my husband understands that my job is difficult (layoffs, terms, etc.) but he can't seem to get it that it isn't just 8-5. He has a real hard time with me not just leaving at 5:00! Also, like another poster mentioned he sees things very bla…
  • I am dressed up as my husband, in his suit and tie! The only bummer was that the pants fit! (Not good.....)
  • Skydiving is something I definitely want to do. Parasailing as well. It looks like she is having a blast and I am jealous!
  • Simple Don...my mom told me. In fact she was back there this spring for the first time in 46 years. She brought me a cute little nic-nac as a momento!

  • I was conceived at Fairchild AFB but my mom made it to San Antonio before the big day!!!

  • When I was in high school I babysat for an officer named Littleton L. Little!
  • I would prefer that over when mine chooses to use my planters in the garden! I guess she thinks the dirt is easier to dig up in the planter than in the garden. Her name is Angel, but she isn't very nice. When my son called home from Germany, he aske…

  • Well, we have Comfort down the Highway a bit and of course just outside the San Antonio city limits is China Grove of Doobie Brothers fame! When I lived in MO in high school I always liked Tightwad and Peculiar.
  • Reminds me of something that happened last week at the United Way Campaign Managers training meeting. We were playing a jeopardy game using our materials to come up with the questions for the sheet of answers we had been given. The last answer was "…
  • Well my husband has worked out at a gym here in San Antonio with Hulk Hogan and Randy Travis. Even spotted for Randy! Many moons ago Billy Crash Craddock and Sonny Cray(?) appeared at Conneaut Lake Park in PA. While I didn't meet them, I did some s…
  • Several years back I was doing layoffs at multiple locations. By lunchtime the word was out. When I walked into the first clinic I went to after lunch, they looked at me and said "We know why you're here. Who is it?" Makes you feel so bad. That day …
  • How about "Rock Solid Concrete"?
  • My system has been down all day and I just caught up with your combinations. Some of you made me hungry and gave me a few ideas. I'll have to try stuffing mix in my macaroni & cheese and apple on my tunafish. But that pineapple pizza combination…

  • I think experience is more important that education, but for a whole lot of jobs I think attitude is more important than either. You can train someone in skills, but you can't necessarily train them to be a nice person, a team player and know what a…
  • I am behind on reading the number of books I wanted to, and way behind on my sewing and quilting projects, but I did pass my PHR and that was a resolution for last year and the year before!

  • Congratulations!!!! What a example you are setting at work.
  • I just weighed in and had my measurements taken this morning at the gym. I am depressed today. Two weeks ago I was thrilled - I had lost 5 pounds. Today I had gained. (Don't ask how much!) I have lost about 35 pounds, but it has been very slowly - 6…
  • While I usually prefer water with most meals, if I'm eating pizza, it's gotta be Coke! And then of course, if it's pasta a nice white zinfandel if preferred.
