THE ABSURD IDEA OF teachers over-praising students started about the same time that teachers started being brainwashed in the, then new, college departments of education.
IT WAS REPORTED THAT it cost $2.9 million for the name change from MCG to GHSU. So can it be assumed that a similar amount will be needed for the name change of the combined ASU-GHSU? What a waste of money in these economic times.
I AM ONE OF 99 percent who has worked all my life for the 1 percent. I am thankful that they were there to hire me and provide me a good living from the age of 16 until I retired. Mind you I worked hard all my life and did not have time to occupy Wall Street or anywhere else.
HERE WE GO AGAIN with the ball stadium, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Get off it and spend the money fixing up stores in Downtown or Riverwalk. Why give money to Ripken? He will sell out just like Hank Aaron did with his car dealership. All those people want is our money; don’t give in to them!!!!!
HUGE RAVE TO South Augusta Family Y for the friendly greetings upon entering and exiting the facility. If only they had an indoor running track, I would use it more as they are much more friendlier than the Y in West Augusta and Evans.
WE HAVE BEEN lied to. Dr. King would not support the Democrat Party’s culture of death – euthanasia, abortion, entitlement living, and same-sex marriages. Listen to his sermons, read his writings: He encouraged hard work, protecting the children and building strong families.
THE PEOPLE OF Augusta have told the commissioners and the mayor several times we don’t want a downtown stadium. They are not listening.
RANT FOR Ricardo Azziz. He changed the name of a medical college. He wanted to cut off all roads going through the campus. He complained that Augusta was not “cool” because we did not have all the venues that people making over a half a million dollars a year expect. He went behind the scenes to get the merger of Augusta State under his control and now he wants the golf gardens property to build more buildings. All this at a time when the federal, state and local governments are broke. Azziz doesn’t care about the school. He cares about his power.

99% work for 1%-----it will always work that way...so try to adjust...we just don't have 1000 Warren Buffetts...
Enough with ball park------somehow someway they (imp. folks) will make this happen.....wait/see how they do it!!
Rave for South Augusta Family Y---me too wave & rave

Rant to Azziz....whoa...wait just a minute...he is in the news EVERYWHERE....hey he could be our next President of the USA...:)
Yeh.....kinda funny stuff today..
Hey, Seenit. It will cost little for a name change for the combined schools. Just add ASU above the GHSU division with time. GHSU will be ASU's medical school. Nothing hard about it. Think positive, folks.
Well, the cancer center at GHSU is going to require a lot more than 5 million to make it a reality. Emory is lucky with all that private money. We need a few billionaires to help out here.
Today I have a bunch of reading to do.....(nice stuff to read too)
so check your email----please.......seeya later in day.:)
pearl. Wealth envy. Be careful now. Some, or most actually, have no desire to be a CEO.
Just as not all aspire to higher education, there are those who are content to work their 40 hours and go home to their family.
These are the happy people. They are thankful, not envious.
Pearl, That is what he was hired to do. Make money for his boss. The boss is hired by the stock holders (owners) to make money for them thru dividends and stock price increases. They have to be much much smarter at running a large amount of stores than the person stocking the shelves. If people want more then they need to learn more and increase the value to the boss and then they will get a bigger paycheck.
The customer is the one who made the money for Kroger, the employee and the boss just gave them the way by providing them the goods to buy.
Today is Curmudgeons Day..... "An annual celebration of the crusty, yet insightful, wags who consistently apply the needle of truth to the balloons of hypocrisy and social norms."
This day no doubt is for many who post here...
Happy Curmudgeons Day..
Pearl, maybe they know you better than you realize. You sound technically competent, even excellent, but politically naive and/or inept. After 10 years in the same job I would hope you developed some expertise. Regardless; you want the boss slot, but you're ignorant of what is happening in those circles? If you want to move up you need to spend more time worrying about the problems they're contending with, and offering solutions for consideration. Did you ever tell management you even wanted the job?
allhans forget about wealth envy. I don't have envy for the rich. If I were eich in money, I would get great pleasure in helping others. Accusing people of wealth envy is just an excuse to avoid the truth.
Pearl, did you do anything resembling sending in a resume for the position, or just wait for it to be handed to you?
please people?, the buddy system is where its at, brown nose your boss, that seams to do the trick around here. sugar coat the bs they shovel and talk about em behind their backs. dodge as much work as you can.. and still get paid for it. why no if you work your buns off tile your 62 and if you can afford to retire your too dang burt out to do anything.
When I was a teenager, we had a neighbor who would open his wallet and show the poor kids across the street how much money he had in his wallet. He would ask them if they wished they had that much moneyThen he would look at their clothes and shoes and laugh. He was not rich, but he liked to brag about what he had. He and his wife worked in the mill, which was where most in town worked.When I hear the words wealth envy, I think of this.
Pearl I totally believe you. It is how things work out in the world. You were mistreated and misused and it wasn't fair.
smartassugar..You can make the choice to live off whatever the government doles out to you, but if the labor market comtinues to disintegrate I don't know how many "brown Nosers" will be working to pay the taxes needed, so that might not work for long.
Why are they picking on the squirrel....I like the cute name....so squirrel stay with us...:)
Pleasse make note of something....when the big posters stay away from r/r this place almost dies.....do ya'll see that?......soooo it gets boring---misses "sumthin"......not even a complete page......sometimes ya just can't make folks happy.
Youtube-jokes-whatever........that makes life interesting.....we don't get paid to entertain on here.....I'd rather read & river would probably rather fish.....:)
Pearl, I really like you and appreciate you sharing your woes here. It makes it interesting, but I'm going to offer what I see in hopes you will understand. When you related the incident about scoring high on the postal exam and not being contacted, that was revealing.
The post office doesn't discriminate or what have you on the basis of personal things. In this case they hadn't even met you. Possibly there was a bureaucratic problem with your paper work. You imply they didn't call you because of something nefarious. It's apparently just one of those things that you believes happens to you often. See what I mean?
"Big posters" Ha...you dissing somebody? What are we, hamburger from Gurleys?
Okay, I'm going to disappear...6 AM meeting, believe that or not. Later on today, folks.
Dissing you!!!!....That'll be the day...heheh

You say you gonna leave but you KNOW that will be a lie!!:)
As I told my bro': "You make Kroger the money - but the CEO gets the money."
If I own the car you shared a ride in to work for the past year, and I sell the car, are you somehow ENTITLED to an equal amount of the proceeds? No! Those who own the businesses, put up the financing, and accept the RISK (as ALL businesses have inherent risk!) are fully entitled to retain the majority of the proceeds of that business...they OWN IT!
"Those who own the businesses, ...are fully entitled to retain the majority of the proceeds of that business...they OWN IT!"
Unpalatable truth in a age that believes merely breathing entails some sort of entitlement. Years ago, I had a business with three employees. As far as running the business, the governments; city, county, state, and federal all had their hand out for paperwork and a share of my money. I was to the bureaucrats in the same league as GM, only with less chance of being treated to taxpayer dollars.
I paid a daily wage and commission. One of my employees noted (like one of our beloved posters has) I was taking full 90% of each job while he, actually doing the work, was making ten cents on the dollar. I offered to let him buy into the company to make it "fair." He asked how much he would make and I explained that depended on his buy-in. He thought for a moment and then asked what if we made no money? Well, I explained, then he and I were still on the hook as owners for payroll, licenses, taxes. His response was "OH, hell, NO!"
Apparently, divvying up the profit equally is fair, while sharing the risk a dark, evil concept.
