Well that just stinks it up. Thanks for the info. he has overtime every day but at least I won't be figuring the bill paying on it wrong again if there are vacation days involved. Better yet I just adopted the "no vacation days for you" policy. (Like the soup nazi, no soup for you!)

Here is the situation, is this right ? Pay is for 2 weeks. 80 hours (full time) 2 of those days were paid vacation days. 18 hours overtime. 98 total hours. Because of the 2 paid vacation days the extra 18 hours was paid at straight time instead of overtime. Why does using vacation time cause you to lose your overtime, you still worked it ? You can tell it's been a very long time since we had overtime to get excited about around here. Oh the bills that could have been paid with that money.

I have heard a couple times today that the man with her in the store is her brother. Still I wonder where the baby was while she was at the store.

Congratulations !!!! I know you are so happy, good for you..

Lowrider, I googled Italian Christmas Ornaments and found a ton of websites with some really pretty ones. I didn't try EBay yet but there may be something there also. I did see some on Amazon.com. Here are a couple of the ones I found but there are some really beautiful ones out there also. Maybe try the Christmas Around the World website too. I know Hobby Lobby has had their ornaments out for awhile.

Do you possibly still have your year book from then ? Do you have any pictures of you guys from high school ? Take your year book or make her copies of photos and frame them or make a small photo book for her, it will give you guys memories to talk and laugh about and it's personal.

Have you tried their cracked pepper ? It's pretty good. I like that they sell their sauces and a few different spices.

Hamburger soup with Southwest cornbread.

Told you it was a stupid question. All back to normal now. Thanks. I tried to drag it before asking but it was full of so many "links" that it took up a good inch of space at the bottom.

This is probably a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway. The start button, icons and clock were across the bottom and are now running vertical on the left side. How do I get them back running horizontal across the bottom ?

Went to Sam's last weekend, enjoyed the samples, had to have the Artisan Fresh - Mozzarella & roasted garlic chicken sausage. The sample was delicious. It is 3 packs of 5 sausages, that's a lot. The problem : When I opened a pack, cooked two, sat down to enjoy I realized the first one was full of fennel. Yep, I didn't read the ingredients list and somehow didn't get any in the sample bite. Yuck ! I do not like fennel. Don't ya hate it when that happens ?

Goodness, hopefully everyone will feel better tomorrow.

That is great !! Keep up the good work...

I found this one on Craigslist earlier today. I did remove the email address and contact name but if anyone is desperate enough to want a job from someone that would talk to a potential employee this way you can go check the ad for yourself. If this is supposed to be a "sense of humor" it doesn't appeal to everyone.

Mrs. JR, good morning, I know there are people draining the system on all fronts and it makes me very angry, like it does anyone else. I know there are people that will not take a position if it pays less than what they made in their last job. I also see the ones that act like they are on an extended vacation and loving it. Others I really believe do not realize the seriousness of this economy and are holding out for it to rebound "any day now." It's a mess and sadly there will always be the ones that use the system and use other people, since that's who they are it will just never cha

There are many things to consider before lumping everyone on unemployment in the same boat as the users, losers and druggies. Believe it or not there are some people that not only want to work but love to work, miss working and the sense of accomplishment it brings to their lives, not to mention the relief that they feel knowing they can make the mortgage and bills. There are many different reasons people search, interview but aren't hired. One is the huge misconception that older people are washed up and companies need to keep searching through the younger generation for someone w

The fried bread you are talking about does sound good JTH. I tried the garlic rolls at Ingles, the Laura Lynn brand and if anyone likes garlic rolls you should try these, they are delish !

Bleh, I feel all greasy now. If the bread was fried too I would be laid out somewhere too heavy from grease to move. I much prefer baked stuff.

What is 5th's disease ?

comes on tonight at 9:00.

It's fried night around here. Fried Pork Chops Fried Potatoes and onions Fried Green Tomatoes Couldn't figure out how to fry the rolls so I'm baking them.

Will you share some basics with the rest of us ? This is a really interesting topic. Thanks

Glade Apple Cinnamon is strong throughout the house. As far as food type smells I have a boiler I use in the fall and winter to simmer water with cinnamon sticks, allspice and cloves. I buy the Badia individual spices in the smaller bags at Walmart. Just don't let the water simmer out, it really stinks if they burn.

There was one a few year's ago at Bath & Body Works called Firewood but I don't think they carry the Henri Bendel brand any longer. It smelled just like a fireplace burning.

Ok, clear this up for me... What is Chuck's connection to the letter to Bree and the one to Paul's (dead) wife ? I came in the room when Paul was on the phone with Bree.
