Left Out
I’ve always been the odd one out. In pre-school, I was always the first to lose at musical chairs. In elementary school classes, I was always the one who either had to work by himself or join another group as the third wheel because nobody wanted to be my partner, and in sports, I was [...]
Employee Involvement in Incentive Programs
Incentives are a part of everyday life. Parents use incentives with their children, teachers with their students, and companies with their employees. One way to get your workers to concentrate on safety is to start safety incentive programs. Try to make your programs reward employees for positive behaviors.

Trading in My Old Truck
So, the time has finally come to trade in old “Betsy.” Yes, I named my truck Betsy. Don’t ask me why; it just seemed like a good name at the time. Anyway, it’s been 7 years since I started driving this truck, and now that I’m close to getting married, I think it’s time for [...]
Mom Always Used Tanning Lotion
I love the smell of Tanning Lotion, especially Dark Tanning Lotion. My mom always used to use it out at the pool when she would take me out to the recreation center by our house to take me swimming and go play with me. She died several years ago of cancer so it has been [...]
First Home Is Really Exciting
I’m buying my first home now, and I’m really excited! It’s a neat little place in Lafayette, Colorado. Actually, it’s a HUD home, but it’s in great shape. I had it all checked out by an inspector that seemed to be really careful and take his time. So pretty soon, I get to move in!
There’s [...]
