The best policy is

I don't recommend lying. Your mom needs to learn something anyway.
If she can't understand your reasons (no matter what they are), it should be her issue, not yours.

This is total BS ! Every policy policy must have a beneficiary!..nm
Even one's bank accounts have a beneficiary named!
How is he going against any policy? He is not
reading passages to the students, it is just on his desk. Even though they have taking organized prayer out of the school, each individual has the right to pray during school, and any student can bring their Bible to school and read it during breaks, etc. No violation as far as I can see.
I also saw an IVF doc on TV who said that it is actually against their policy to do IVF.....sm
in these circumstances, he basically condemned the doctor (and of course he does not know who the IVF doc was), and said that the doctor would be going against medical ethics to use IVF on a fertile woman who already has six children, that the procedure was meant for infertile couples, and that the doctor was really going against sanctioned medical rules in this case....I have to wonder why, I understand that the girl could be psychologically ill and unbalanced, but does that mean that her parents and the medical community had to go along with her distorted fantasies........how cruel is it to bring children in to the world you cannot possibly provide for, just for your OWN sick gratification.....and if young girls are seeing this, how many chldren can the government possibly fund for 18 years??? I am so thankful and blessed with my children, but we stopped having children when we knew we could only truly and adequately support the babies we already had. This is unbelievable!
I just tell them I have a personal policy
related to telemarketing and take my number off their list. They have to do that by law once you tell them. Eventualy the calls do stop.
Wow..wish we had a nit free policy. sm
I agree she DOES NOT need to be in school. This family has been educated on lice and the health department came to help them clean last year. They are just LAZY. I do not need to embrace the family and help them clean up the lice like the above poster mentioned. I am with you...nit free policy and no school if they have them!
There was no name listed at all on his policy
Out of his wife, his children (2, me being 1 of those) I was the only living child. When I was contacted about the policy, I was told they would try and find the heirs (my brothers 2 children who then would half my brother's share as brother had died in 1973). My father died in 2004. These children were not located by the insurance company in a year and they sent me the balance. I knew they were entitled to the other half as my brother's heirs but not found. Probably good thing in the long run, sometimes others in charge know because both children were druggies, in trouble with the law (girl 37, died in 2007)and had they been found, might have caused their demise earlier than real life did. Father's estate not probated as he wanted to give most everything away prior, had all arrangements made as far as his funeral down to having things paid for and even the music selected.
How come?? Every policy NEEDS a beneficiary!...nm

I never saw the policy, never knew he had
He could have made it out to his second wife (who died before my father) but I have no idea. I was contacted saying I had insurance money coming to me. I had to furnish a death certificate of my brother, my stepmom and then they asked for names of kids of my brother, last known address. An insurance company is pretty thorough when getting information. They do not take just at face value. They do their work before paying out the $$$$.
eBay policy states.....sm
that the sender has 30 days to send the product. If they don't or can't prove they sent it then you can file a complaint with eBay, and they'll check with the seller who will have to either prove they sent the item (i.e. provide postal information with confirmation #s, insurance information, etc) or the seller will have to refund the money. They do tell you that if the seller has "disappeared" that they may not be able to get the money back; however, at the same time they will block them from selling again. My husband & I have bought a lot of stuff on ebay as well as sold a lot. We always ship within 72 hours and most items we've won we've received with a week. I did have one purchase that the seller kept coming up with excuses for not sending it until the 30 days came and eBay contacted her to ship it or else and she finally sent it... but she did refund my shipping fees because of the aggravation and she wasn't asked to do that.
New Bank Policy on Credit
I went to the bank today to apply for a new line of credit... they had this sign posted outside the door.
Depends upon company policy.
When I was a waitress at a restaurant, we had to pay for our own food. However, we got to eat "mistakes" instead of tossing the food out. One of my kids works at a restaurant and employees only get discounts.
Wal-Mart corporate policy states....sm
that if you ask the person at the kiosk overseeing the self-check out lines to check you out they have to. Wal-Mart has gotten a bad reputation for not hiring people and then claiming their lack of check out lines being manned by humans is due to not having enough staff. Bull crap - if you pay well you can get good employees. I NEVER check myself out and provide free labor. I rarely go there but when I do, if there's more than 4 people in line ahead of me then I go to the self-check out lines and have the person overseeing them check them out. A couple of times they gave me flack about it and I requested the store manager be called... and then the store manager made them ring me up because the manager knew it was corporate policy.
My husband has asked the manager why they even have 20 checkout lines when he's never seen more than 2 cashiers working at any time of the day. Good question I say!
I wouldn't want to make policy on this issue
With my own cats, though, I have always harness trained them. You put a harness on them instead of a collar and hook the harness to a long leash that's clipped to the clothesline. They can run up and down the length of the clothesline and it seems to satisfy their need to be outside. They can chase butterflies, watch squirrels, and sniff all the good smells that are out there. I didn't want them running loose because there are too many things that are dangerous and could hurt them. I also didn't want them getting into neighbor's trash.
I'm not in favor of cats running loose b/c it's too likely they'll get run over or otherwise hurt, but I'm not sure it's as bad as the article states. Atleast not with domestic cats. Sounds to me more like a feral cat problem. They need to know for sure before making laws that might not even fix the problem.
New high school cell phone policy
Friends of our work at a local high school. That school has become fed up with cell phone usage in their school, so they have become rather devious.
If a cell phone is caught ringing, the teacher takes it and sends it to the office. The only way the student can get their phone back is if the parent come to pick it up. Even if the student is 18.
But the nifty thing? The V.P. scrolls through the address book and tries to identify some of the other students. Then she goes to their classroom, stands outside the door and calls their phone from the confiscated phone. If she catches the student answering the phone - automatic Saturday school.
Sounds almost like entrapment.
I have had luck with QVC. A little pricey, BUT, great return policy and good selection. This is a gr
to buy a swimsuit - very low prices. Oh, how could I forget? I got a really cute bikini on ebay this spring and I loved it! I don't walk around wearing a bikini, but I do like to wear bikini tops around our pool and it was a really nice piece. It was around 5.00 brand new. Good luck.
