I'd like to think all employers are different, but when you were hired if you were signed on as an "at will" employee, pretty much all of the "Ask your employer for help" options might not be there. I have had and seen some respectable packages offered upon termination from colleagues, but have also heard of a lot of…

I heard on ESPN that anyone who bought a Rice jersey on NFL.com or any Stadium store can get an exchange.

At first glance, did anyone else think he had a TMZ hat on?

This clip made my crappy Monday a bit better - so wrong at the start but so right at the end - I clapped at my desk. Enjoy the tire doggies...

avoiding vacations helps your career with some managers. According to an Oxford Economics survey, 13% of managers are less likely to promote employees who take their vacation time.

Totally agree with this idea, but I truly believe that if someone is a friend it is par for the course and doesn't need an agreement dialogue. I stop talking to people who give me a ration of guilt when we do get back in touch - what's the point of that? This includes relatives.

Wow after reading this, will definitely put prices on items for my next sale - I assumed that if someone wants something they would ask me how much, but clearly there's enough comments on here that I am missing out on some easy sales!

Extremely well said. Thanks for sharing your insights. I also thought of his part in The Fisher King when he passed - I think that role seemed to almost be the opposite of his role in Garp.

What a coward - to do that you gotta have some serious problems.

This is similar to groups of guys who walk around clubs groping women on the dance floor. If you say anything, you are up against a group who also wants to fight. If the fight doesn't break out right there, they will look for you outside the club and even worse can happen.

The songwriter Sia said that more than 60% of people either like or listen to some sort of EDM music - so why not cats?

Everyone is different. In my case, my dentist said that I grind so hard and often that I required a pro level guard to protect my teeth and also not force them to move from the grinding. over time this completely screws up your bite and teeth/jaw alignment (not to mention the stress on your jaw and tendons in…

I wanted to add a comment about nite guards as it was mentioned as unnecessary - if you grind, it can wreak havok in all types of ways - not just your teeth. Wrecking your bite and straight teeth is just one part - you can split teeth (which requires root canal and crowns), cause headaches, cheek and jaw pain, etc -…

Attempted murder all the way and probably many other counts - hopefully the guy who got beaten will also come forward. What a dangerous and cowardly man - I hope he gets life without parole. Ugh makes me sick...

If you have the patience for a few days of drying time between compound coats/layers/sanding, you can easily patch a large hole (I patched one the size of my fist) by using just compound and mesh drywall tape. You have to work from the outside in and allow the materials to completely dry before you do another layer.…

This made my morning - hope she get her team to the title. The action on her pitches is amazing for that age/level.

I was at about a 600 FICO after the recession in 2000 and having a few account go into collection. I was out of work for almost 2 years and simply couldn't pay the bills - I was scraping by just to pay rent and bare essentials. There was also a sort of "screw it" mentality that those wouldn't be a big deal later on -…

"Can I have it?" is a line I hear all too often. It's as if even the idea of paying anything for it is an insult. I have adopted a policy now that: 1. I am never going to give away anything for free 2. I will only take $$$ as a last resort - I would prefer trade in some way (even if its just a vague and karmic "we'll…

Everyone is commenting as if Katy came up with all these things - she is just the product - it's the producers and video director that should be under fire. I agree that there's a ton of stuff in here that is definitely offensive on many levels, but to completely pile on Katy solely is short sighted.

hey Eric - I think your reply was very well stated. I buy items at yard sales & auctions to flip and make some small side money. Your comment reminds me of an annoyance I get from friends & family sometimes - when they see an item I have for resale (purchased or sometimes given to me in a bundle lot) - they ask me if…
