I never understood how it was OK for people to protest outside the mayor of Dallas, Ron Kirk's house, when he was in office. Had a friend that lived on the same street, a few blocks away. I used to see them in front of his house when I would turn off of Mockingbird to go in the opposite direction. ...

I haven't worked since 2010. Before I left, my print advertising company had gone thru "Communications" training where, on day one, we were told sarcasm was bullying.
This week long communications training was something all of our Dallas and Houston based mangers had gone thru in Atlanta, and ca...

The fish fry came with fried potatoes, pickles, okra, squash, anything they could batter up and fry. Some of my cousins fished and they said ...

re: Your thoughts on a Men's Hair System
Posted by chinese58 on 4/16/24 at 10:14 pm

Do your coworkers give you grief over it? Any friends or relatives give you grief? Do the neighbors kids heckle you? We called ...
