I just read an article on boston.com about a hospital that was finding alternative ways of saving money so that they didn't have to fire any of the lower wage earners. The employees are the ones coming up with the suggestions,...

theproperator At least those who were let go still have a job. Hopefully, you are right about having done enough. Good Luck.

theproperator Sounds like a good way of keeping everyone honest, too, so no one is expensing out "business lunches" too often!

Okay, so I have about 2000 coke points, and I am STILL waiting for them to offer gift cards as rewards. When I first joined, they had gift cards for stores I actually go to, like Home Depot; but by the time I had enough points for...

theproperator I hear you. I have no interest in the online game, or American Idol, or NASCAR, so it seems that the pool of rewards to choose from is rather limited once you eliminate all those things.

I was reading a bit about Obama and how he had leftist socialist teachings, was the most far left of the Democrats. There were other things, his stance on same gender rights,m etc. and his view on abortion, etc. Now I know that...

theproperator The president does not choose federal judges. He can only nominate Supreme Court judges (who still have to go through an approval process), and that is only if one of the current SC judges steps down or dies. In four years, he may only get to nominate one or...

theproperator Yes, that would go along with the theory that some of the discussions you participated in got deleted.

Right now, I'm watching past seasons of Stargate Atlantis. While the original Stargate was on, I just couldn't get into the plot line for Atlantis, now it's one of my favorite sci-fi shows. I've only seen the first two...

theproperator Sanctuary only just started on the SciFi channel. You've only missed three episodes. I believe you can watch the episodes online at scifi.com, rather than wait for the DVDs to come out.

theproperator You should watch the series before the movie if you can. The movie was sort of a wrap-up of the series since it was cut so short. It will make a lot more sense to you that way. It was a really good series, if it had come out when the Sci-fi channel existed, it...

theproperator I hope you are right about this all turning around. When I put money in the IRA, I generally just put it out of my mind and don't count it among my assets on a day to day basis. Keeps me from obsessing about the stock market, especially at times like this. I...

Of a public bathroom?? I just came back from the restroom. When I walked in I saw a dollar bill laying on the floor by the sink. I considered picking it up and putting it in my pocket, but then I though about all the germs on...

I received this email that spelled out a real good solution to this bail out thing. I'll sort of skip over it but you will get the idea. It involved instead of giving that $85,000,000,000 to AIG you give it to the public. Give...

theproperator Oh, I also meant to add this link to the FDIC website showing how many "local" banks ARE failing because of this crises. Who do you think made all those bad mortage loans? Banks had just a much a hand in this.

theproperator Except that your version of a "sound idea" with $250,000 to each adult in the US would cost the government $50,000,000,000,000. That's 50 TRILLION dollars or about 580 times more money than the current plan calls for (the current US national debt is "only" $9...

theproperator No, the other poster is right, it is only $425 per person. There is probably a calculator feature on your computer that you can use to check it.

theproperator The signs mean not to use them when you are actually pumping gas. If the station was closed, I'm guessing no one was even using a pump, so you were perfectly safe.

theproperator No contradiction, the last day of the month is the cut-off day. They will pay you the full amount that was in your account that day.
