I need a ruling on this

We still get mail for the previous homeowner and we just hit 5 yrs. Like from banks, and what look to be financial/retirement/401(k) statements.
9 years for us. I believe they moved into this house directly from China and just didn’t have a clue what to do when they moved.

UPMC is a fustercluck. Horribly managed and penny pinching to the extreme. Glad my wife got out. They basically silently laid her off, but she didn’t quit so she’s still officially on staff. Doesn’t really cost UPMC anything since she’s casual and gets no benefits, but I would laugh out loud if they...

Correction, losing to this Boston team (today) would be bottom.
This Sox lineup is worse than the hodgepodge of nothingness

In the old days, getting swept by this sort of Red Sox team would be a fireable offense.
You mean when they used to hold each other accountable?

600 calories? That’s a bit extreme. 1600 maybe but I’d pass out from such low blood sugar at 600/day

The pirates really can’t afford to lose games like this (or last night’s game). Especially to teams like the Mets.
Don’t worry, our young pitchers won’t need Tommy John surgery until they are into their free agency period

I just had beers yesterday with 2 people that I worked with 6 months ago. We all ditched the company when they told us they were moving. And the company was completely surprised by all 3 of us going. They completely f’ed themselves and I’m here to watch the train wreck (pun intended)

We got into the arena right before the heavy stuff started coming down. Was surprised to make it home with minimal issue considering Pine Creek floods easily.

Well, the other shoe finally dropped at work. They announced today that they are planning on closing our plant and moving production to New York. Timeline gives us 18 months to find new work so it could certainly be worse. At the moment they’re saying product engineering is one of the few departmen...
