  after you have circumcised him...

  So, does that mean that I would have to "whip it out" first in order to partake?

  (just don't expect it to stand at attention...)

  My self-worth does not actually depend on another poster's opinion of me.

  by Frannie Banannie in

  i've been trashed and bullied by one poster for posting info off the internet that i was offering to someone in need of hope.

  i began a thread on the subject of whether it is right or wrong to offer hope to someone in desperate circumstances in order that the poster could see that theirs wasn't the only opinion of any value.

  while most who responded were in agreement with the validity of being encouraging and offering hopeful info that can be looked into or not, it's the viewer's choice, that poster has continued his bullying, stating that i'm mentally, literally incompetent, basically stupid and irresponsible, though i'm so incompetent that i shouldn't be actually held accountable for my well-meant ignorance.

  New Corporate Smoking Policy - Need some suggestions.

  by El Kabong in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i work for a fairly large corporation.

  our company is establishing a new tobacco policy where smokers and tobacco users are no longer allowed to use tobacco in any form, either cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chew, or snuff, anywhere on company property.

  this includes inside or outside the building, the parking lot, or even in your own personal vehicle while in the parking lot.

  Little Drummer Boy: BANG!!!!!! (Sorry...just kidding).......Actually, you are correct. When I quit smoking in 2000, I could tell who was a smoker right away. I could smell when someone came back from a smoke break an office away. Ugh.....But, since I started smoking again (I know....dumb move), I can no longer smell the other smokers. I wish I never went back to smoking....but perhaps being on this committee will give me more encouragement to quit......Thank you all for your help and replies....

  Thanks for the replies so far. I agree...especially I am a smoker. I quit for 5 years, but started up again a couple of years ago.

  I don't know how they will enforce this...the company policy does state that an employee CAN be terminated for breaking this policy. It's their ballpark, and as long as the people are employed by this company, they can't smoke while at work. I agree it's unfair, but I like the suggestion about Patches, gum, and lozenges. Any others?

This includes inside or outside the building, the parking lot, or even in your own personal vehicle while in the parking lot. Basically, while you are on the clock, you cannot use tobacco, period, while on company property, even if the building is leased and other companies allow smoking outside. If someone needs a smoke, they would have to walk or drive off the property.

  So, lucky me, has been given the task by corporate to find out ways to communicate and enforce this new policy, as well as come up with some suggestions on alternates to tobacco use while at work.

  So, I'm asking if anybody has any suggestions that can be used to curtail smoking while at work, and offer any suggestions on alternatives to tobacco use. Also, I'm wondering if anybody else has a similar policy at their place of employment.

  Thanks in advance for any helpful advise that may be given.

  There are so many familiar pieces that I don't know the names of...or even who the composer was.....For example, there is this British Comedy that is shown on PBS here in the US called "Waiting for God". I love the opening piece, but don't know the name of it.
