I know, that's what I'd like to know as well! One time I was talking with an employee who was complaining about being written up for something and that was one of her statements: "my manager has it in for me. Other employees are always doing things and he never disciplines them." I asked her...

I don't know, but if I had a family like yours, I think I would be distancing myself from them completely. I don't know why you would subject yourself to people, family or not, who don't seem to like you very much, or trust you enough to believe you, or yell at you in public at a family...

That's why you don't tell anyone in your family that you are going to do anything with the joint account. If they aren't with you every minute of every day, they aren't going to know what you're doing, and thus can't tell your ex what's up. True, you can't do anything about how they are, but you...

I agree wholeheartedly! I've seen that so many times when employees are being disciplined/corrected and it never fails to p*** me off.

I think what we are all trying to say here is that, even though your family may not believe you should get any of the money, unless they are in some way physically restraining you from taking money out of that joint account, you should be able to go in to the bank, make a withdrawal, write a...

Most joint bank accounts don't require both signers' signatures to make a withdrawal, so I have to agree with the others who asked what was stopping you from taking money from the joint account if your name is still on the account. If the account is still open and has money in it, and your...

Like it or not, banks are a for-profit business. Many people retain the notion that a bank is some sort of service organization that should just give all their services away for free. I find that interesting in this day and age where people think nothing of spending sometimes hundreds of dollars...

For once, I'm not complaining about it raining too much here...we've actually had some very nice weather throughout May and June. I feel your pain, though, usually our weather is pretty much all rain, all the time!

Yup, based on the weight of the thing, I definitely can believe that! The nice thing about older instruments like that being built to last is the fact that it doesn't get out of tune as easily as newer pianos I've played over the years. It hasn't been tuned in a very long time and while I'm sure...

Oh yeah, believe me, moving it ourselves is out of the question! The last time it was moved from one house to the other was 27 years ago and it took four or five sturdy guys to move it. Since then we've pulled it out from the wall once or twice to paint the wall but even moving it a few feet was...

At work, I'm preparing for our retirement plans audit, which is always great "fun". :p At home we're working in most of our spare time on fixing up our old house to try to get it on the market. At this point I am so over working on houses! There are a few more cosmetic things to do at the new...

That's hilarious! :D Gotta love those people who are out there looking for a fight, doesn't matter over what or who!

Unfortunately, if my many years in HR have taught me anything, it's that many people would have taken that comment to mean something derogatory about their personal appearance.

My sister lives in Amarillo and she said that they've had 5" more than the normal amount of rainfall for this time of year there. And it's been warm and sunny here most of this month when we'd normally have lots of rain...what's up with that? (Not that I'm complaining, mind you!)

I agree with the others. If being a parent is mentioned and you want to be part of the conversation all you have to do is say that you have a 3-1/2 year old daughter and leave it at that.

I agree with Elle, your custody agreement should spell these things out. Most that I've seen state that the parents will share the cost for the child to travel for their visitation time. In two cases I'm very familiar with, each parent pays for one leg of the trip. But definitely check to see...

We know ourselves well enough to assume that would have been the case for us, too, if we hadn't painted first! At least we have the luxury of taking our time moving out of our old place; we have a lot of work to do on it before we can put it on the market so it's going to be sitting vacant for a...

Wow, I need friends like yours! Actually, all my grandkids wanted to help so that was nice. My grandson helped with the kitchen, then my oldest granddaughter, her boyfriend, and my 7-year-old granddaughter helped with the master bedroom. My grandson is going to paint a mural on one of the...

So, I just got back to work after a week of vacation...although I did very little relaxing on this so-called vacation. We bought a new house (well, new to us...it's actually 30 years older than my "old" house) and two days after we closed and took possession my husband left town for a week for...

I had a classmate who was raised by his grandparents after he was born out of wedlock in the mid-1950's, he was told that his grandparents were his parents and his mother was his sister. And when I was in high school we had a couple of girls disappear for a period of time during the school year...
