    I actually meant, hand sanitizer, but I just couldn't think of it, so I said lotion, which when you think about it, it does come in a bottle.

    If one were to take the time to read all the warning labels on everything we use daily, or listen to the disclaimers on tv ads for certain medications, it WOULD READ like War and Peace!

    LOL, LOL, Wanda IS IN Nevada, my g/f came over, with a bottle of wine. We DID watch a HBO movie, but I woke up in bed this morning to bacon frying and the coffee brewing. My g/f was a little bit tee'd off, as for some strange reason, she said I was laughing in my sleep. She said I was mumbling something about a strap..LOL, she said I did!

    I told her I didn't know what she was talking about

    She then left for church, and she said she will say a prayer for me. She never came back home though.

    I called her a bit later, she said something about being annoyed about what I had mumbles about a strap.


    See what happens when you talk about straps, Wanda and Nevada?

    I think it's all a lie, "what happen in Vegas, stays in Vegas"!

    Used to have this as my sig on a forum that I moderate.
    Always had one user that would cry up a storm anytime something didn't go his way. Which was usually any time we tried to enforce the rules when he broke them by being vulgar and completely disrespectful of other users.
     
    G.Anthony Thanks this.

    Fun between co-workers is one thing. Co-workers are basically equals and one isn't really relying on the other to give him good and true information.

    The respect of one's co-workers is important to a man. It is to me, and if a man ever has to be judged in any way by his co-workers I think it is more important that he be judged by the basis of his reliability and his expertise and competence at his job. Such judgements should be withheld until he establishes some sort of pattern in some direction or another.

    I have one co-worker who topped a straight truck under a bridge that he was about eighteen inches too tall for. Granted, I razz him about that sometimes. But in that particular case, it was earned.

    Barring that, I treat others the way I'd like to be treated, and I've never expected anything more than the same in return.

    The way I see it, the key is to make sure the distinction between good natured needling and straight up harassment is clear at all times. Some people don't do that so well, and the results can be very troubling.

    Hey Mack- This is a very interesting post. Brings back a lot of memorys. Growing up an the water front, I was always called the "polock kid", or Eds Boy. I never had a name. On my first weekend pass, from boot, I was sent to a gay bar and hold a table for the boys. They were cross the street bent over laughing. HA HA. Now to the present. My sons and I plow in the winter. I am on the state, because I have a class 8, and the boys do in city with F450's. When the boys would go to a new area they came under a lot of "hazing". Well, it passed. This past season they had a new route and were worried about the same treatment. I told them guys are like that, it means nothing. They asked me to go to with them to the new area and sign in. I said ok, but listen to what I say and do. I went, met the troops, and said "Hi boys, could you help us out? We are the FNG's here and could you show us this new area, so we can't fail? You guys do a good job here and we to do the same. They asked our names, shook our hands, and showed us the route maps we had to plow. Nobody knew I plowed with MassHyway. We gave them there ego,s to keep, and the boys fit right in. It worked. They were hazed a little but, but now they knew the difference. The rest of the gay bar thing will have to wait. Be Safe Mike-Z
