And you're only pleasantly obese.

On second thought . . . not obese at all. Just extra-huggable.

You were punishing it for some reason and giving it time out.

I was reading somewhere that stressing some plants is good for them. Starving orchids? We had a huge cactus in a big box for longer than we anticipated and thought it was on the verge of collapse, but now it's sprouting all over.

It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

stressing lebanese rodents is also good for them. builds moral fiber.

The incompetence of some physicians just boggles the mind.

I just found out a friend of mine got laid off. Actually what happened was, rather than lay him off and give him severance, his employers announced that they had decided he was to be fired for probable cause, even though he had never heard any complaints about his performance up until that point. Can they do that, or am I not getting the full story? :blush:

They might, if his employment is "at will". One of my coworkers got fired one day for no good reason and with no warning (i.e., she hadn't been talked to about bad job performance).

It's always something.

If the employment is at will, in an at will state, they don't need probable cause or any such thing. They can fire anybody at any time for any reason or no reason, unless it's a protected status (age, race, etc). Depends on the state. And if the person had an employment agreement that negated at will, that's a different story. Did he have a severance agreement?

If he did, the tradeoff for the money is probably a waiver of all suits.
