Uh, oh... take cover! Incoming!

Don, I gotta say that I tried a variation on your recipe and it was wonderful. Never been a big fan of rice (unless it's Rice-a-Roni) but I wanted to try something a little different and it was great! I just used the basic rice recipe, substituted…

I feel very fortunate that my St. Christopher's medal has no sharp edges... But if you want to spurt milk out your nose from laughing, I suggest you take in Don's post about the carb-free hot dog. It's a definite crowd pleaser and I had a hard tim…

FHR, I agree completely with Don's perspective; however, I know that it's tough for you to divorce yourself and back off from your point of view in this situation. All you can really do at this juncture is to support your SO, advise the best you c…

>These profits of doom are full of hooey. Can I quote you on that, James? Is "hooey" a technical term? x;-) Seriously, I find I must agree with you, generally. But there is this nagging little voice in the back of my head... Not so sur…

Christy, it's great to hear from you. Forum's been rather interesting lately. However, now is the time to sit down with Cole and have "The Talk." It appears his proximity to his "girlfriend," especially now that it's down on paper and subject to …

Oh, crap, McMel. Just give me my life ring now and push me overboard! I know my role in the pecking order. x;-)

Gee - ya THINK???? Why do you think the first phone message that GM is going to have tomorrow morning is from Yours Truly, Sam? x:-)

Hmmmm... must be that only Yankee possums and raccoons respect each other's territories and won't occupy them at the same time... Seriously. No possum sightings in my neck o' the woods since the raccoons took over. Besides, raccoons are too cute…

Geez, all I can say is that I'm glad I slept in today. Nothing out here worth reading (although I have always liked Calvin Trillin's stuff). I think it's time for a truce between the right wing knee-jerk reactionists and the left wing knee-jerk re…

No, no, Leslie. I was ORDERING a draught when you're tending bar Sunday. There's a tip in it for you if you FedEx it to Portland (but please make sure it's not all foam). x:-)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-30-04 AT 11:15PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Great post, Slogan. I would not change a word and I agree with everything. Now, Don: Obviously you don't see the logic and the good policy involved in NOT treat…

Don: As your hero, Ronald Reagan would say... "There you go again." I don't want to steal any thunder from a fine post by Mark Twain - after all, there's nothing wrong with being a pacifist - just as there's nothing wrong with being a Catholic, or…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-28-04 AT 09:34PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Typical right-wing response - obfuscate and confuse by comparing the way Bush is administering the Iraqi conflict with how much good he has done re taxes, etc. (He…
-
LarryC, that was a beautifully written piece and you are right on. My only regret is that the world never has and, in my opinion, never will, have the stomach for dealing with problems as they occur (kind of like supervisors - you can never get the…

Don't even go there, Don. While you were building your career in HR, I was doing JAG duties (yes, even in the military the concept of the law of armed conflict and rules of engagement were present); or I was guarding nuclear-loaded bombers on alert…

I've always wondered that, too, HRinNH. When I was a litigation paralegal in a large firm, the tour for the summer associates always began, "And this is the litigation department. Up in corporate they practice law, down here we've perfected it."

"...but I'm sure his sons and son in law and grandson would have preferred to carry his casket rather than military members who were strangers to him." Probably right, Rad. I'm sure his sons would have preferred to carry him. But in funerals with…
-
Shadowfax, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I do feel that as a nation, as a people, we are united in our respect for the death and recognition of the life of President Reagan. I just finished watching the sunset interment at the Reagan Library in…

Need any help, marc? I could use a reason not to go into the office tomorrow. x:-)

They must have spent a fortune on this thing. I was pretty impressed - right down to the faux-Waterman pens they gave out along with the industrial-strength designer mints, breakfast, etc. I think our manager's conference in October is going to ha…

Responding to an EEOC charge, of course, y'think I'm stupid, Ray? Obviously this is different. These were LAWYERS! They even had a big disco ball in the middle of the ceiling! x;-)
-
Ritaanz, I have no idea what a "carumba" is and would not propose to suggest what it is! I merely pointed out that "Ay, carumba!" was a common exclaimation from Bart Simpson on the popular Fox television series (thank you, Rupert Murdock - the chec…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-31-04 AT 08:49PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Now relaxing after having a Gardenburger at my brother's BBQ. Prior to that, I visited the Oregon Vietnam Veteran's Memorial at Washington Park here in Portland, …

Welcome to the Calendar Club, HRinNH! Have a single sister who has always wanted to visit the West Coast? x;-) Regarding the 50-ish Ray's comment: I think he has a fixation on perceived relatives he thinks might look like him or his siblings... c…

You're right, Sonny. Mea culpa. I need to watch my smart mouth. Mom always told me to respect my elders... x;-)

Happy birthday, Ray! Geez, I had no idea there were so many old geezers out here. Glad I'm still on the underside of 50! x;-)
-
I never said I accepted or approved of them... I just think it's curious that they even still exist, and in some of our more exclusive neighborhoods. Personally, I find them a lot less offensive than the ever-present garden gnomes that I find all …

Well, Don, that would be either Ruth's Chris or Morton's here in Portland and I would be happy to treat she and her (soon to be) fiance. x:-) As she's mentioned, I'm too old for her. x;-)

WAIT! HOLD IT! I'm here! I've been busy for the past several days and not checking in! I felt my ears burning and figured Cinderella was up to something, but... (we Oregonians (and even those who are Washingtonians posing as Oregonians) have a s…
