A while back my boss and I were talking about our pandemic preparedness plan and he said something along the lines of "This won't happen in our lifetime." I had forgotten that it already had, in 1957 and 1968. Flu killed millions worldwide both th…

Happy slightly belated birthday, Nae! I'm right behind you (mine is tomorrow).

I don't even want to think about how much I lost from my 401(k) over the past year. It has done a little bit better lately, but I still hate looking at the summary of gains/losses for the last year. I did our taxes last week and we got a whole …

Darn, I wish I'd known that before I just threw out half of a package of them that my grandkids didn't eat. I'm not a big Peeps fan myself, but the s'mores thing sounds great!

[QUOTE=plynnl;715744]There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble. Wow, I am going to have to read that book. It sounds like fun just by the title.[/QUOTE] What a great title! I'm g…

We always had indoor plumbing and running water when I was a kid, but the houses I spent my childhood and teen years in didn't have central heat...they were heated with old-fashioned oil stoves. My dad worked on and installed furnaces for other peo…

Here we have McDonald's, Taco Time, Godfather's, and Subway and that's it for fast food (although, in terms of our health, that's probably more than enough!) So when we travel, a big part of the fun for a lot of people is hitting the different fast…

Chik Fil A is a chicken restaurant that we don't have here in the Pacific NW (at least not as far as I know). I have heard of it but never been to one because I never wander too far off the west coast!

Since it specificially says "any assistance eligible individual", that would only include involuntary terminations between 9/1/08 & 2/17/09, since a voluntary termination by definition is not assistance eligible.

We pay around 82%, with no difference between single and dependent coverage.

[QUOTE=KSR6450;715618]Paul, I have a CD-Rom called Policies Now which helps you create and modify policies. Don't know when I bought it but have never used it. If the non-profit would like to have it I will gladly send it to them, just post their a…

[QUOTE=plynnl;715613]I know I should know my geography better but are you anywhere near the erupting volcano?[/QUOTE] No, thank goodness...I'd rather have to deal with a couple of inches of new snow than a couple of inches of ash like they're getti…

[QUOTE=KSR6450;715607]cnghr Where you live sounds lovely! Liquid sunshine and all. You think of Alaska, and you think Frozen Tundra. I blame the media. 29 isn't bad for a morning low; it has been colder than that here in the last week. And we hav…

I have an old family oatmeal cookie recipe from the early 1900's that uses milk & vinegar combined like that, but that's the only place I'd ever heard of it until now. This banana bread recipe does sound yummy....I'm going to have to try it so…

[QUOTE=KSR6450;715575]I've always wanted to visit Alsaka, and now that I have completed the lower 48 it is next. What is Alaska like in the Springtime? I'm sure it is beautiful.[/QUOTE] Well, it depends on what part of Alaska you're in. This is su…

[QUOTE=Sharon McKnight, SPHR;715566]I was walking down the hall one day where I used to work and noticed that about 30 feet in front of me was a rather large woman (I'm not picking on large women, I'm a pretty big girl myself) who was wearing white …

Extremely low-cut pants on women, with visible thongs, rear cleavage, or rolls of flesh spilling over has always bothered me, as well as guys wearing their pants so big that the whole rear of their boxers shows and the only reason they haven't falle…

Okay, so now it actually does look and feel like spring outside, if you don't observe the (rapidly melting) snow on the ground. It's warmed up about 15 degrees and is beautiful and sunny. I'm so confused! :-/

Heck, what we've been saying here lately is if you don't like the weather, you only have to wait 5 minutes. I work on the 3rd floor and a couple of days ago some employees came upstairs from the 2nd floor for a meeting in my office. Just in the sp…

Unfortunately, I have seen difficult employees who, no matter what anyone did to attempt to make them salvageable, just plain refused to be salvaged. One of them I remember well was a woman in her 40's who behaved like a pre-schooler quite regularl…

I just looked up the actual unemployment rate in my community, which is where the jobs are that we are having trouble finding applicants for, and as of the end of January it was 10.3% so I'm not sure why there's such a scarcity of applicants for the…

Nope, we are having a heck of a time getting any applicants at all for several positions that have been open for some time now, and these are not even positions that require a high level of education or skills, there just aren't people applying. Th…

Hey Paul, it hasn't booted me off once since you let us know the secret way to stay logged in. plynnl, I thought the streets were confusing in my town until our visit to Portland two years ago. We have a lot of streets that seem to go nowhere, but…

[QUOTE=plynnl;715136]So, were you the "sir or the madman"[/QUOTE] Well, I'm definitely not a "sir" and even if someone thinks I'm crazy, the correct term would be "madwoman", thank you very much! The funny thing was, she had my name as the HR Ma…

My last experience with Portland made it the "unhappiest city" for us personally....we went there for an emergency and we didn't get a GPS for our rental car and wandered around town lost probably about half of the time we were there! We couldn't f…

One of my favorite resumes that I've saved for many years starts out "I am responding to your job in the newspaper for a teller position" and then goes on to outline all her recent experience in the medical field. I'm still not quite sure how she t…

We allow anyone who is hired before May 1 five vacation days to use during that year. Anyone hired after May 1 has to wait until January 1 of the next year. I like doing it this way much better than the way we used to do it; when I was hired in 19…
