Tony Wasmund, a manager for Decoster Eggs, pleaded guilty to bribing a government official to overlook restricted eggs suspected of having salmonella.

Reviewing my profile, my information for hometown stood out to me, because it is not where I currently live. I do not live in Spearfish, South Dakota any more. But neither was I born there. Rather, I grew up there, lived there during my formative years. Hence, I regard it as my hometown. I am sure... Sign in to see full entry.

I trudged my way through work on two hours of work, but in common experience that is not entirely unique. There are people who are parents of babies and tots, and these people quite often go to work after having been disrupted for much of the night by their young ones. That has never been my...

Just in the news this week has been the passing of Reverend Sun Syung Moon. Maybe I cannot speak for everyone, but I do believe Reverend Moon reached far and touched many of our lives, if only just briefly as in a light brush. I do not mean this in a positive, warm way. My own distant exposure may... Sign in to see full entry.

"Whoever parked in front of the garbage dumpster, you need to move your car!" That is a familiar page I hear at work every so often. Both the garbage dumpster and the water treatment wing are fairly close to the front door where we workers enter. Therefore, people will park in front of those... Sign in to see full entry.

A few things that I have observed in the powder form are not appealing to me. When traveling and using a typically old restroom, it is irritating when washing your hands and the soap is something that comes in powder form. Powders are coarse, gritty. I would much rather have the liquid soap... or... Sign in to see full entry.
