Long story short, my husband took a side job at a local store. One friday the military told him he needed to report to his command immediately and that drill weekend for him was starting Friday since there was paperwork and a class. He tried to find someone to fill in at the store but nobody could work so he called the manager and explained the situation. She said that he was "screwing her because she had things to do and to just tell them he had a prior obligation". Obviously he couldn't tell his command that he couldn't make it so he explained this to his manager. The next time he went in for work she told him that he was no longer needed and to bring in his uniforms. Is this legal? I thought there was some veterans act saying that his first obligation is to the government and that if he gets called up his job would have to respect that. We have the paperwork and proof that he was indeed at his command. I didn't want to contact a lawyer if she was within her rights.

I'm making pumpkin cookies to bring over to my parents' house. Unfortunately, I'm out of both vanilla and cash (my paycheck hasn't hit my account yet). How will this affect my cookies?

Pondering the situation, which seems kind of funny, I thought that maybe the elephant naturally fear that it could scamper up his trunk and suffocate him or cause dreadful harm. Any thoughts?

Did you ever get a phone survey about your listening habits? How was it? Do you remember what you said?

Did you ever fill in a book on your radio listening? How was that? Do you remember your answers?

Do you think the surveys you did did a good job of recording your radio listening?

And do you find yourself listening more, less, or about the same to AM and FM radio now that satellite radio and computer radio are available?

Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year. The day after Thanksgiving. It is the start of the holiday (Christmas) shopping season. Usually when stores offer their absolute best deals on merchandise.

It is called black friday because that is the most profitable retail day of the year. It is when stores move financially from red (losing money on the year) to black (making a profit on the year).

What I am asking is what is the craziest thing you have seen people do during the shopping rush and fights over great deals and merchandise?

Do you know a military man or woman stationed away from his/her family for the holiday season.


America owes a great debt to the brave military that serves and stands guard to protect our freedom.

Would you like to mention them, say where they are located?

Our family says "thank you"....God bless our troops!
