I had a horse once .. his name was Grover. I miss the chap.
I'm glad you're sticking around .. we all poke fun at eachother everyday - it's in our nature
Post some pics of your Y2D if you haven't yet!!

To use one of Beth's phrases, there's gonna be some fluffin' and scootin' going on at the factory this afternoon!

Texas is upwind, right?

EB is the wind beneath our wings.

Especially after one night of Mexican food followed by BBQ and beans the next night!

There is a lot of bad stuff going on in those few words.

So, um, was "it" okay?

HI-OHHHHH Silver!!

I probably prefer being with horses than people for the company

I feel much the same, although not so much with horses, but Dung Beetles.

Well, and Walking Sticks, but I assume mostly everyone feels the same about them.

Eh, more or less.

I still haven't figured out whose done it yet, but if I was beej I'd be worried about losing your D.B. Cooper award at the next bash.

You know, Chewie, some threads are like farm-raised catfish, born in a laboratory, fed a bunch of corn and destined to behave like every other catfish in the pond.

And then there are those free-range catfish.

This thread was born to live free and wild, like a, um, catfish.

I have no problem with you NiteHawk. I had a problem with what you said. You may have meant it as a joke. I took it as serious. I responded to the insult I thought you were putting onto those that work in the factory.

My condolences on the loss of your horse that meant so much to you.

We can get to know each other and then decide if we need to go out back and have it out.

I am sorry for my part in our arguement since it was a misunderstanding. If you were serious well I would be right there to poke you in the eye.

The written world makes us all look like arses once in awhile. Eye contact is another deal.

I came real close to a two word post. I don't think anyone has to be a math major to figure those words out.

I am willing to start over clean slate.

It is too bad this thread got muddied up with other nonsense. It started out pretty cool.

It is really great to read about happy employees that have respect for their boss and vice versa. I work in a manufacturing plant as well but people never really seem to enjoy their job much. Sure we like the folks we work with, but the job itself.... 'meh. I am actually a Principal Engineer and am starting to care less and less about the company, I just want to make sure *I* don't screw up if you know what I mean. That's even getting hard to do with our lousy management.................. Whoa where did all that come from? Sorry about that.

Anyway, it is still encouraging to read about folks that are not only proud of their jobs, but proud of the company they work for.


Wait a minute, hot meals???? I work for a multi-billion dollar corporation and we don't even get coffee.

Just in case he deletes his thread I thought I would quote this humor....As you can see I have to go to comedy school My sense of humor is being questioned....

your humour is just fine, mine on the other hand is well....

[tkarter]

I meant what I said when I started this thread.

And it's going to get back to being cool. Let that other stuff go, and we'll all be fine.

I'll try to clean it up a bit, but I suspect it's too 'wild and free' to submit to such an activity.
