“Impact” I can take or leave, but I draw the line at people who “office.”

judging is in the eye of the beholder, i bet the recipient of your correction felt judged.

i can’t stand “reaching out”. Head honcho sent out an email saying that the supervisory types would be REACHING OUT to employees re; the shutdown. Please do NOT reach for me.

One of my friend’s daughters came out with one of the most annoying phrases that I thought was long gone. It is what it is.

If people don’t want to be judged, they should stay off the internet. ;-)

When we bring a new employee in and get him up to speed, some are calling it “onboarding” now.

As long as there are losing football coaches, there will be “it is what it is.”

Apologies for bringing up a distasteful person/subject, but I recall when Bawney Fwank was the darling of Media interviews it seemed one of his favorite words was ‘shibboleth’ — of course, enunciated the way you stated with all the attendant slobbering and contortions he was “famous” for…

Odd, I would read that as you saying Judging is wrong?

i was illustrating, by way of example, that various types of judging goes on every day, and that correction is necessary.

Thank you! Your family members tell the truth-I took a few vacation days from work, and visited MrT5 while he was on a TDY there-the poverty isn’t hidden as well as the tourist conscious city officials think-military members are especially adept at ferreting out the places outside the city limits in the jungle where people live in squalor as they slave away for a pittance in the fancy hotels and tourist traps-we treat migrant farm workers and other illegals WAY better here...

I’ve been waiting for several years to experience the joy of hearing that Nasty Pelosi was denied communion right at the Mass by a priest-I still hope it will happen,,,

Please...Contrived.

There are rumours swirling that he , like BarryO, prefers the company of men.

It started to get asked publicly, now he pulls a Weiner?

I’m roaring. My friend was just here asking how we get along with prospective inlaws (great) and she said what a horrible MIL she will be bc she can’t stand the girls her sons date. Current gf of her oldest son who is 23 is a student at Pitts law school, and from pittsburgh. They were at Denison together. She said she saw her in a sundress and noticed a back tat!! Lmao! I said well pittsburghers can be trashy... That appears to be her biggest complaint. Becky says her mother (boys grandma) will have a CORONARY if she sees her at the altar with it all splayed out. Very unfortunate. Having been looking at wedding dresses even ones with sleeves etc like xsteen likes are generally see thru lace around the top and back. Becky sees this as a major character flaw!
