  • I'm still chuckling at my "alias": Tootie BubbleLips! Thanks for the fun!
  • Great!! Enjoyed the "laugh" respite. But . . . the thought occurred to me that a great many of the Forumites may not be old enough to remember Bud Abbott and Lou Costello (but then I DO remember!).
  • Parabeagle . . . You'd be right in your element in Western Massachusetts this coming Sunday. There'll be plenty of those pints to celebrate in Holyoke, MA, which has the second largest St. Pat's parade in the nation! Thousands of marchers, hundr…
  • Thanks for the laugh! My friend has told a story for years about her French-Canadian grandmother. Evidently, the lady used to say that she and the family always trekked "down to Dee-twah" a couple of times a year. My friend didn't know that "Dee-t…
  • Just think of it . . . if you had kept going with the story, it could have been turned into a mini "Survivor" episode . . . stranded on an island, the whole bit . . . and then (perhaps) turn out to be just a dream sequence!
  • their screams. But . . . as they reached the spot where the privy once stood, they began to lose their footing. The mud seemed to grasp at their feet, pulling, pulling, pulling them downward. They reached for each other, but too late...they bega…
  • "Whaddya think I am? Stupid? I've been on to you for quite some time, but you were just so wrapped up in yourself that you got careless. You can stop the 'act' now . . . I know who you REALLY are and what you've been doing here. Now I'm gonna
  • But I stumbled upon much more than I had bargained for . . . there was a connection to the illegal employment of aliens--hundreds of them--throughout this area. It was
  • Then, laughing uncontrollably, he dropped the photo on the desk, exclaiming:
  • There's gotta be "gremlins" in this thread! Now, I'm showing up with North Carolina after my name!!
  • Why are you showing up with "MA" (Massachusetts) after your name in your response to Don? Aren't you from North Carolina?
  • TOO close, in my opinion. What do you expect when slut-makers are given the opportunity to produce the show? As in many households across the country, children also were watching (in our case, ages between 6 and 12)--how do you explain THAT to …
  • Rad: I think it actually DID happen . . . there was an article in our local newspaper a couple of weekends ago about this very thing. Kinda scary . . . made me take notice, even though I think I am careful when using my plastic!
  • . . . and for all the REST of us, who send them on to OUR friends (c'mon, I know you do, too)!!
  • Rad: I'm just waiting for our good old Commonwealth of Massachusetts to figure out a way to TAX us on the cold weather!
  • 1. I'll try to be nicer if you'll try to be smarter. 2. I was young and stupid once, too!
  • None taken . . . come to think of it, she probably DID want to hammer Mom!
  • For all I know, he could have been that, too!
  • I had a cousin named "Gino" who used to wrap up $20 bills at Christmas for all the kids who came to visit. 'course, he also packed a gun and didn't mind others seeing it when he had his jacket off (he was a detective).
  • We had a second-shift employee call in to say that he got so into playing computer games with his son that he "just lost track of time." He did come in--two hours before his shift ended and only then because he took a bathroom break from the father…
  • There's a few of us who also are near that "other end" of the spectrum!! These kids could be my grandchildren!!
  • Bureaucracy!!
  • Wow, Ray . . . I'm really enlightened now that I KNOW how that works! I figure I must have lost at least $2,367 on that deal . . . and I STILL can't reach the top shelf in the supermarket!!
  • I know everyone has to start to learn somewhere, but I'd be suspect of a company that would send in college students to audit a plan like yours. Where did they get the knowledge to know what's correct or not correct? Are they using the "learn-as-yo…
  • "Resume enhancements" are not limited to sales people! One of our VPs received a resume for a managerial position--someone recommended by a friend. On the surface it looked as though this candidate had all that we were seeking--educational backg…

  • We still have our holiday party. We have 1200 employees and about 1/3 of them attend the holiday gathering. This past year, we had to increase the price to employees($25 each), who may bring one guest (also a $25 charge). It's a full-course dinn…
  • We will need your e-mail address to send you the material you requested.
  • You would not want to put your company in the position of deciding who should or should not have what type of surgery or procedure or whether it is medically necessary, etc. The potential liability would be staggering. That's why there are medical…
  • We use 1 to 5. "Three" means the employee is meeting job expectations.
