National Guard: good luck with the Geography Bee! JudyT: You're doing great! Congratulations, and hang in there. I went through it as well, and chocolate does help. Eat all you want!

Great story! BTW, I've heard that great minds need little sleep, so this may explain Don's need of less sleep than the rest of us.

There is a word that rhymes with "purple". From a great Roger Miller song: "Roses are red, violets are purple/sugar is sweet and so is maple surple".

Happy New Year to everyone. It is, indeed, a tragedy. Kinda puts my problems into perspective!

Definitely from my parents, whose backgrounds were similar to many of those above. Good work ethics were just expected, and we knew to do what was expected of us. We also knew the consequences of not doing it. Now if we could just get this concep…

Judy, it all goes back to the old saying, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
-
Wow, Don D, that was a zinger. Are you going to take that lying down (so to speak)?

HR Girl: So sorry for the loss of your child's pet. It's amazing how much a part of our family our pets become. We had to put down our beautiful golden retriever about 2 years ago. It was so painful my husband and I swore we would never have ano…

Wow, HRing! What a great gift. You guys can be very creative sometimes--I'm proud of you all.
-
Marc-what a great story! Sounds like you and your wife have a wonderful relationship. Also--congratulations to the almost newlywed.
-
What cute children! Glad you're back.

Kinda late to respond, but try to say this: "A pan of biscuits, a pan of mixed biscuits, and a biscuit mixer." Now that I see it in print, it's easy to read. Try to say it without looking. Another one came right off a label: "Chill, Shake and Se…

Another: A woman in her late 70's is staggering down the corridor of a medical center, eyes glazed over. Dr. Smith, coming out of his office, rushes up to her and asked if she's OK. She shakes her head. "I just saw Dr. Jones and he told me I'm p…

Wouldn't matter if Scott Peterson were my son. Sure, it would break my heart, but those are the hard facts of life. We have to be willing to be responsible for our actions. BTW, just my personal opinion, but I think his suicide bit was just to ge…

I am a soon-to-be 61 year old woman who normally is very quiet and inconspicuous. However, I have reached the age where I can speak my mind and let the chips fall where they may. The death sentence that was returned has made my day. To those who …

Thanks, Don. All kidding aside, that's an interesting story. Just goes to show, home folks never know all the good stuff.

Hate to admit my ignorance, but in 60 years of living in Texas (The Lone Star State) I never heard of our flag being called "Bonnie Blue". I'm with HRGirl--It was Rhett's and Scarlett's baby.

From Will Rogers, "Never pass up a chance to go to the bathroom". From my 5 year old grandson, Connor, who had the assignment to finish the following quotation "It's always darkest before..." he completed - "You turn the lights on." From Yogi Ber…

Thanks very much. Don't know why I didn't think to Google it. Linda

Our Emergency Action Plan states that communication with the media is to be done ONLY by the Manager of Marketing and/or our CEO.

We match 100% of the first 2% the employee's contribution, then 50% of the next 2%. Total 3% match for 4% employee contribution. Linda

I'm voting against it. The same people who cannot plan for 12 months won't be able to plan for 14 1/2 months. At least that's the way it is at our company. Also, our TPA will charge extra. Linda

We have premium sharing. Employee pays 10% of employee only coverage, 20% of employee/children, 30% of employee/spouse, or 40% of family coverage. We pay short term and long term disability, life insurance and retirement. They pay supplemental li…

We implemented PTO several years ago. What we did about accrued sick leave was to convert it to a monetary value as of 12/31/2001 at their current rate of pay. This was then frozen and put into a bank. This will be kept there until they retire/te…

Apparently, from what I've learned, the benefits may differ from the coverage offered by the employer. In our case, this was true, and the wife wanted to stay with our insurance. Also, all providers do not accept the military insurance.

We also had a large yellow ribbon made and we affixed it to the flag pole outside the front door. Wouldn't you know it, Shane came by to tell everyone good-bye before he flew out, and someone had stolen his ribbon. Needless to say, we replaced it …
-
Thanks, Popeye! I'll do that today. Linda

Thanks, Pixie. Great suggestion about the USO. I'll have to check the number of soldiers in Shane's platoon.

We can't afford $5500. We reimburse $1500 per year. It must be approved in advance, and the employee must pass the course.
