Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
A rainy Monday. That's a double-whammy. I
suppose that explains a lot.....
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFoQxjgbrs - Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters, 1971
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainy_Days_and_Mondays:
"Rainy Days and Mondays" is a 1971 song by The Carpenters that went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and it was the duo's fourth #1 song on the Adult Contemporary singles chart.[1] However, the song failed to chart in the United Kingdom until it went to #63 in a reissue there in 1993. "Rainy Days and Mondays" was certified Gold by the RIAA
The song was composed in 1971 by then fairly unknown composers Roger Nichols and Paul Williams. It was released as the first track on the album Carpenters. The B-side on the single is "Saturday"...

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of
RI - 09/07/14, 6:16 PM - "Death of
Gertrude Wilson":
Mother of
Lowell Philbeck. It was in Friday's Daily Press. She was a very special
friend to our family.
Thank you so much, Jean! When I first read
this obituary, I thought that you yourself must certainly have known Mrs.
Wilson, but I missed the
NNHS connection. You have my deepest sympathies on
the loss of your dear friend.

Most
spiders won't bite unless they feel threatened, but it helps to know
which ones are really dangerous.
Thank
you, LaMerle, for this valuable information!

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/07/14:
Notice to Employees (Includes
Part Time Workers) SICKNESS We will no longer accept your doctors' statements as proof. We believe if you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to work. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR SURGERY We are no longer allowing this practice. As long as you are employed here, you will need all of whatever you have and should not consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are, and to have anything removed would certainly make you less than we bargained for. Anyone having operations will be FIRED immediately. PREGNANCY In the event of extreme pregnancy, you will be allowed to go to the first aid room when the pains are FIVE MINUTES apart. If it is false labor, you will have to take an hour's leave without pay. DEATH This will be accepted as an excuse, BUT we would like two weeks notice, as we feel it is your duty to teach someone your job prior to . . . or after death. This new benefit program started yesterday. The Management |
