    Road Rage

    A lady {betcha you didn't expect that!} tailgated, passed, cut us off and braked her car in front of us so we HIT her. Not once but twice. Of course we got into a fast and short argument then broke it off to wait for the police. We left the cars exactly where they were....... perfect for the cop...

    Poor traumatized dog!!!

    And the area where the dog was found is not where people or animals normally "get into the water". Point of Rocks is what it looks there. The dog ran well over a mile. He was found by the kayaker after 130pm. The accident involving him and his owner Donna occured at 1:11. So in the video, the...

    The most dangerous job you ever took?

    Two co-workers were fighting. One of them then wanted to start something between me and the other employee. So he threw the other employee's knife right into my station behind my back so it would look like I stole it from the now knifeless employee while the employee who stole it snuck to his...

    Being prepared for discrimination

    Or in skiing, as someone said in this thread. There will be people that think differently from you on some subjects like disablity, religion, to name a few. Accept them for who they are and move on. I did pretty well growing up---only deaf in all hearing school, decent grades, good jobs...

    The most dangerous job you ever took?

    Hmmm....I've been a cook, prepper (sharp knives, hot surfaces etc) and still do that. Got tossed at with a sharp knife once. Damn...... Got put in the hospital when seven months pregnant from a freaky fall. Nothing happened with the baby but the Dr. was very freaked out about a possible placenta...

    Pay Raise

    Try doing this way if you want to ask for a raise. I got my part time job right after New Year's Eve 2010. I remember because we got a new GM and that GM wanted me to have the job. So one year later, actually only ten months later--I asked him "how long have I been here" and set the stage for...

    Trump: Obama Must Release Birth Certificate

    Without going into lengthy details-----There are two forms of birth documents: short and long. Obama produced the short one. The long form is the KEY. This is the form everyone wants to see and it does not seem to exist. Even Neil was trying to get at it before he was shut down by the "privacy...

    Harassment/Bullying in the workplace

    Hi-- Bottom line, don't put up with crap. If you have to, let it slide over. Deal with the problem people. I know it's easier said than done. It usually helps when you are a valuable employee and work hard. The bosses want to hold on the ones who do their jobs than to deal with problem...

    "Life Isnt About Money"

    Amen to that. Living within your means, cutting back on discretionary spending until you can afford to do do that.......helps. Sometimes things get so tight that I flip things around.....but as long as things get paid, I'm happy. I just try to remind myself how worse off I could be if I'm not...

    My Wife's SSD Cut Off

    Good thing I kept after SSA for three years until they sent me PROOF of OP waiver. It's in a very safe place in case they ever mess with my retirement benefits or anything. When I started getting SSDI after that OP waiver, it was a little messy to go through so the caseworker had to set up a...
