The television accounts of the devastation is unbelievable and over such a very large area. Everyone there is in our thoughts and prayers. The nation will come together to assist in the time of crisis. Nebraska has sent teams in response to the e…

Hey -- be nice when talking about Nebraska. It seems we have 2 football teams this year. One likes to play and puts effort into winning and the other seems to be on Prozac. We play at Missouri Sat. We hope for the best and plan for the worst. J…

Thanks for sharing the letter with us. The writer seems to maintain a positive attitude in a very harsh and dangerous environment. We must keep all of our troops in our thoughts and prayers. And always remember how good we do have it. The U.S. i…

Don, Shawn Hannity had mentioned the Drudge Report. I did a google search and did find pictures of the Johnson beheading. I didn't view the pics for long, more curious to see if I could find the web site. Very gruesome and appalling. dd

Sorry I missed that show...my TV time is usually 12:30 - 3 am. I have experienced that being a female I have had to play the game differently than a male in order to accomplish a specific goal. But, that was a choice dependent on the personality of…

Do you have an internal grievance procedure? This works well in a non-union environment. It provides a process for an employee to follow when they feel they are unfairly disciplined and/or received an unfair performance evaluation.

We retain resumes for one year. We don't accept resumes unless we are actively recruiting for a specific position. I do not refer back to old resume. I have done it years ago and found that usually the person is no longer interested.
