Yeah, I wish. Actually, currently my dreams involve getting our bills paid way down or off completely so we can live at least relatively comfortably when I retire in two years. A $35,000 boat most definitely does NOT fit into that version of my dreams. :cool:

According to my husband, if he spends $35,000 on the "boat of his dreams" then he will be extremely happy.:)

My husband makes that mistake all the time and it drives me crazy!

It has nothing to do with you being a woman. A lot of us on here are women. I wouldn't have necessarily called your post a tirade, but I do agree that the fault lies with you for not reading the document. You admit you didn't "check the document" when you received it. I have been in HR for 30...

I still have my original 1971 copy of Carole King's Tapestry. I was 16 when it came out and my boyfriend gave it to me for Christmas. It's a wonder I didn't play the grooves right off that record back then, but I recently bought a turntable and dug out my old records and it plays just fine...

When I was a kid, not one sermon went by in my church where the pastor didn't tell some joke or say something pitying or outright insulting about Catholics, Lutherans, or Methodists. I think they taught them that in the seminary back in the day, to make sure and keep people distanced...

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and not only would women not be allowed to serve Communion, they wouldn't even call it "communion", they were very adamant that it be called "The Lord's Supper". When I was a kid, I remember asking why we didn't call it communion and my mom told me...

If you read the link, it was updated last night to say that the Oregon Supreme Court put a hold on the Baker County judge's ruling and temporarily reinstated the governor's original restrictions.

A very similar thing happened to us years ago, only the pipe that broke was on our property when my husband was doing some repairs to a water line, and the sewer backed up into our neighbor's house. They immediately filed a claim with their insurance, not ours, even though we were technically at...

I guess you didn't read the article you posted the link to, the first line says of it that the 42.4M abortions is a WORLDWIDE figure. I respect your right to believe as you do, and hope you would do the same for me. However, when people bring either outright falsehoods or even just simple...

:D:D

Interestingly, before they even said no groups of 10 or more, people were voluntarily suspending gatherings. We had churches who adopted the idea of virtual services (a lot of them livestream their services anyhow) before any mandates came out, I believe, and other groups did so as well out of...

The only mandatory stay at home orders in my state are for people who have traveled. They are ordered to stay home for 14 days. The rest of us were told to "hunker down" and minimize contact with people outside our immediate household, and schools and non-essential businesses are closed, and...

I just bought a lovely new sectional - for $12,000, I could have gotten eight of them! :)

Maybe the co-worker put the cam in their own cubicle to see if their co-workers were coming into the cubicle when they weren't there?

I imagine that the banking regulation that they are referring to is the Bank Secrecy Act, which states that transactions of $10,000 or more by cash or check must be reported to the IRS. It was put into place because large amounts of money changing hands could potentially indicate illegal...

Speaking as someone who performs employment background checks, all we look at are actual convictions. We, or the third party we engage to do our criminal background checks, certainly wouldn't take the time to dig around and see if we could find 911 calls from the individual that might possibly...

In all the years I've been the HR Manager for my company, I can't tell you the number of times I've explained things about benefits to employees, only to have them turn around and say that they were never told and then of course it's all our fault they aren't getting what they want right when...

Most 401(k) plans that I know of have a waiting period before a new hire becomes eligible to participate. In our case you must be employed for six months and can only sign up on the first of the month following your six-month anniversary. I've known of other plans that have just a couple of...

Remember John Bobbitt? (Which is the most unfortunately appropriate name I've ever heard for a situation like that!) He apparently came to after his wife had chopped his off and left with the severed member in her hand - ick! He woke up his buddy who was sleeping on the couch and told him that...
