Back when our offices were in downtown Nashville (we're in the burbs now), I was frequently approached by people claiming they had run out of gas and needed money to buy enough to get home. The trick was that the story and the amount and usually th…

Para, Great suggestion. We'll take it under advisement. Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers

You might want to find out how much you need to sweat the math. The scores are reported to the schools with a breakdown by area. If you're trying to get accepted into a program for which math isn't an essential skill, they probably won't be lookin…

Years ago, I remember hearing a tale of a farmer who paid his tax bill in cash that was delivered in a bucket filled with cow blood. Tax authorities tried to refuse, but had to accept because the blood-soaked money was legal tender. But I'm with R…

Anybody doing anything especially Irish at work today in celebration of the day? We're having a St. Paddy's Pot Luck lunch, minus the green beer. Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers

Actually, the doctrine is "full faith & credit" - which the U.S. Constitution mandates between states as to judicial decisions and some other legal matters. Reciprocity is slightly different - usually situations where one state has a law that a…

Well, it's probably time for me to weigh in again. The test we use isn't what offends James, or any of the other folks here who keep an eye on the Forum. What is the test? Well, let me digress and talk about why we host the Forum in the first pla…

When I first saw this thread, I thought someone had come up with a really creative screen name. Oh, well.... Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers

I heard somewhere (no, it wasn't on a phone message) that some people believe putting a message like that on your answering machine deters telemarketing calls - because telemarketers listen only for the first few seconds, then if it's a machine, the…

Don & all, You're correct when you surmise that it was the coon-ass reference that caused the concern. The person who was monitoring the forum late last week noticed the post and tried to find me to ask about it. I was unavailable, so she end…

DenisE, We'd prefer if you'd link to copyrighted content, rather than paste it into a message. Can you edit your post accordingly? Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers

Now it must be told - M. Lee's most and least favorite restaurants. Lee is a die-hard fan of the Felix Oyster Bar in New Orleans. So give it a try, Don, and see if you agree. On the other extreme, I don't think I'll ever be able to drag him back…

If you like "off the beaten path," you're headed to the right place. Washington has one of the most diverse collections of international restaurants in the world. The Adams/Morgan section and the Dupont Circle area have dozens to choose from - Eth…

Margaritaville is indeed just past the French Market. Live music, too. And after six days of OSHA, you'll need the signature concoction. On the high end, Antoine's is the originator of Oysters Rockefeller and has the most amazing crepes suzette o…

Hey Scottorr, what about wearing your sweater and putting a collared dress shirt over it, just to make the fashion police go berserk? Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers

The Grand Ole Opry tourguides hereabouts used to say that after Minnie Pearl's Fried Chicken started going downhill, it merged with the Fuller Brush Co. and the Schick razor folks to create Fuller Chicken Schick. Those Fuller folks make it into a l…

I always thought it was a Southern thang. My wife's first car - a 1973 Olds 98 that had 200,000 miles on it - was called The Green Bean. When I was a teen, my family had 8 cars for 6 drivers, and they all had colorful names. My favorite was Bodac…

How about the League of Extraordinary HR Super-Heroes? Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers

Does this mean you're responsible for writing all the job descriptions? Yikes! We recently got more organized about our job descriptions and ended up re-doing all of them throughout the company. In most areas, including all of the people in my di…

The latest issue of Newsweek has an article about the U.S. military using music to break down Saddam supporters by playing Metallica and the theme from Barney. Here's a link: [url]http://www.msnbc.com/news/914527.asp[/url] Actually, whenever anyo…

Well, I think that all depends on the quality of the recipes. If the recipes are good enough, we'll be too distracted by cooking to bother with pricing. Brad Forrister Director of Publishing and Culinary Delights M. Lee Smith Publishers

Okay, culinary types. You asked for it, you got it. I hereby announce the creation of a new Forum category - HR Hero Sandwiches and Other Culinary Delights. Use it to submit your favorite recipes. We'll leave it up as long as there's interest…

Strikes me that you have several issues here. The real conflict I see is getting involved in the question of whether he should get a raise. But even there, I don't think it's a giant conflict if you're not the decisionmaker. You're just providing…

Another from Princess Bride: "We are men of action; lies do not become us." And another, that comes up a lot around here, is Inigo's response to Fezini's continued exclamations of "Inconceivable!": "You keep using that word. I do not think it mea…
