I find it funny they mention response to being talked to in baby talk since my first thought on seeing their pictures was “Oooo, yook at their cute yittle faces”.

Actually, for a break on their Workers Compensation premiums, employers will agree to do drug testing (and it does save them considerable money).  At some point, though, not having enough workers shows up on the bottom line and they do a cost study on the break in WC premiums and determine its not worth it.  They may…

They are about to get deluged with applicants.  I feel this is a major factor in the “labor shortage” and if more employers did this, we would see it mostly go away.

In the long run (I am talking life long effects) I think you did what was right for your child. The few months of maturity make a huge difference and he has other challenges as well. He has the advantage that his parents are looking out for him and working with the schools (many children do not). Best wishes to all.

Bury one, and twelve more just as bad spring up in their place. Sadly, we have our fair share of them on this side as well.

Mr. Putin looks exactly like the kind of guy who would insert his malicious file in your nativezone backdoor when you aren’t looking.

Maturity has a lot to do with it. I started school a year before I probably should have (cut off for kindergarten was turning age 5 by September 1, and I made the cut off by less than 5 days). Being less mature, I struggled to keep up, and while I did end up being in the top % of the class, I had to work so much harde…

This serves as a great reminder that if you own stocks in a company, even a few, open, review and vote them when the proxy notices come. Most often they come with the BOD recommendation (for/against) and the ones they recommend against are almost always ecological or political (donations) in nature. 

Love is love.

Don’t forget to shop around for rates. You are literally “buying” money, so the same as any other purchase, do the research and compare all the aspects of the loan/card.

I think this is totally the wrong approach to crime prevention. A gentleman who was dealing drugs practicing free trade lived across the street from me for a while, and I have to say not a damn thing went down on my street while he was there. Even the police stayed off the street for the most part.

Hey Sham, ever still come around?  I hope you and the family are well and happy. 

I keep an eye on the gauge and once it drops between quarter and half, I fill up on a Tuesday/Wednesday when gas is least expensive and stations are least crowded.

I wonder if they looked at what the workers did “after work”? Did they relax-by just collapsing in front of the tube from exhaustion or doing other things? I know a great many of us, once when “work” is over, still have hours of classwork (for people who work and go to school), household chores, cooking, child…

I read the demographics for advertising on this site (Giz) a few year ago. I don’t see it anymore, but adjusted for elapsed time, assuming the same people are continuing to visit the site over that period of time, (and many are, myself included) it would be 85% male /aged 35 and under. The other sites of the greater…

As I explained to someone else who pointed that out, it was really for the “kids” that make the up largest part of the readership here. It doesn’t feel that long ago to me, but, it is 23/24 years (if my math is correct), which movie wise, is pretty old.  (I am probably older than you, as I became a mom in 97, and I…

Well, it was was from 1997, which to the average reader here, is ancient......(not old to me either, but you have to look at the general demographic).

I actually heard of this guy, but it was in an old movie called “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” where our heroines wanted to say they had invented post it notes to impress folks at their reunion, but were inadvertently done in by Janeane Garofalo. A quirky, but funny movie.

I was sort of at least hoping for a lower concentration of them. 

I will weigh him against the other candidates, but, prior to COVID I would not have even considered voting for him. What they did to Dr. Acton and her family was just plain shameful. Its one of the things motivating me to abandon the state and move someplace with less idiots, if such a place exists.
