Isn't the current pop culture reference to such relationships "bromance?"

All YOU have to do is copy and then paste the URL to the youtube video in a comment here.

One of the defining characteristics of narcissism/narcissists is deficiencies in the capacity for empathy. The same can be said for narcissistic organizations.

That's what a certain very high profile political candidate asked in 2016. We are now learning what we have to lose.

Pardon the skepticism, but we WERE conned so many years ago. Didn't Paul write, "prove all things, hold fast that which is good?" Far more recently, somebody said something to the effect, "fool me once..."

I have no financial stake in this but two days ago returned home from a personal mission to Los Algodones, Baja California, Mexico. A couple of years ago, one of my molars broke and I was having an increasingly difficult time keeping food out of it. A friend (a long time greasespotter, btw) enthusiastically told me about Los Algodones. My Phoenix area dentist gave me an estimate of $4k for a variety of work he said needed to be done to my teeth. I was taken aback. The only acute/urgent matter was a root canal and crown for the broken tooth. For that, around $1,500. (without dental insurance, which would cost me at least $150/month and make me wait a year to get that kind of major work done) I was able to get my teeth cleaned, the root canal performed and the crown installed all for less than $500 (direct cost) and total of 24 hours to get the crown made. Of course, I had a few extra costs, like the passport, automobile fuel and a night's stay in a Yuma hotel. But still saved well more than $500 and I love the way my mouth and teeth feel now. So, if you need dental work, this might be something to consider to get it done far less expensively than you'd pay your hometown dentist. Btw, I went to the Castle Dental clinic and enthusiastically recommend them to you.

This might be a good place to mention that for me, the lifting of (waybrain) fog happened with years of self-reflection while working on developing critical thinking and analysis skills including working during the mid-1980s on a degree in accounting (focus on accountability) and in the early 1990s learning to (begin) being honest with myself with insights in M. Scott Peck's books, (first one I read was People of the Lie, followed by The Road Less Traveled). I apologize for going off on a tangent.

Winning through Intimidation (1984) by Robert J Ringer I remember this book from 32 years ago. I wonder how many TWI clergy read and embraced the notion.

Summer 1975.

Thanks, I had figured it out.

Ah... thanks for the clarification.

Was?

Really, oatmeal with one tablespoon of flax seed daily with do the trick.

One very like cause of the link not working on your devices is that the teacher page is no longer there. But the site still works.

For a number of reasons! ;)

But then again, I don't know enough about it to make a legitimate determination.

Seems a bit hokey to me. JJ, you didn't even define DHT.

T-Bone, your post makes sense to me.

Emphatically agree on both points.

If you ask me, I think you communicated that point very well. And I have to wholeheartedly agree.

Unless she has her retirement already planned out as something that takes her to someplace else (like back to NC), or unless the new administrator effectively asserts his dominance over the organization, human behavior/nature suggests she's not going anywhere in terms of exerting authority on the (dis)organization.
