I had a resume and cover letter professionally done in 1999 and still use it. I feel it was a good investment.
-
Outside the box with this one, but I don't care your gender. Up two goals with 2:24 left in your (NWHL) title game is NOT the time to take a 5-minute major.
-
She was terrific. I’d put the original 53 episodes of Arrested Development up against any network sitcom of the past 20 years. The rubes just didn’t get it. That show was way ahead of its time. The other thread where you guys talk about binge watching programs, well I'm just not into it. However, if I ever get enough time in my life, two shows - "Arrested Development" and "30 Rock". Didn't get to see enough of it. -
I wonder how that single play will rank in Badger Sports lore. Not quite a Darrell Bevell Rose Bowl scamper or Wes Matthews half-court shot. Given women's hockey is not the highest profile, so maybe the next tier?
-
Nice win for the Badger women. A fast start and hang on. Losing after being up 3-0 would have been devastating. However, not sure they were the better team after the first intermission. Still a win over the Ohio State University is nice in any sport. Title game Saturday night on ESPNU.

Some states use a "past successes" formula where they can bump a team up a division. In the past the WIAA has discussed this option, but tabled it.

Have you thought about just buying an RV? Cheaper than a home and you have more mobility. Stay in WI during the summer and then AZ or FL in the winter. This is basically what I am thinking if I ever retire. Get an RV and just live everywhere in the US. Sounds enticing, but doesn't match my personality. I enjoy exploring new places, but eventually need to return to a home base.

Why sell? I never understood that, but i hear people say it. Unless your plan is to sell now, rent or live with a relative, then wait to buy when the next market dip happens. If not, then you’re just selling your 200k house (that was 130) and buying another 200k house (that used to be 130) or buying a 130k house that used to be 100k. Which presumably is less house than you have currently. If the entire market is going up, unless your plan is to NOT buy a new home, your not really gaining anything besides the headache of moving. OK, my bad. I left out that moving to a rental would be needed to make it pay off. That is why she scoffed at the thought. Plus, we are most likely within ten years of retirement, which means selling anyways and retiring to our TBD forever-city.

Due to Dane County restrictions, they couldn't practice and play as a "team". So somewhere got around it by forming a temp "club". That is the thing I'm surprised the WIAA didn't look into to. When restrictions eased, went back to a team.
-
That isn't surprising in this market. If I were more brave, I would sell all of my properties right now and then look to buy later after the adjustment. We bought ours for $130K and at one time could have gotten $170K just before the crash, where it dropped to $120K. Now, I could get $200K, if not more. A couple of months ago I mentioned to the wife that if the market starts to drop again, we're selling and cashing in on the profit. I won't make the same mistake twice. She wasn't too happy with the suggestion.

I live in a condo community in Waukesha. Last year, I had six neighbors who had lived here fewer than four years sell their property at a gain that computes to an annual 6%-8%.

-
I'm with turbo on this one. Maybe because we're from the same generation? Just turn on the TV and click to 31..and the Brewers! Also my eclectic taste in sports, so the niche channels offered get utilized often.
-
Not necessarily a must see, but this past Friday watched "Brian's Song" completely unaware yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Brian Piccolo's death.
-
Ringo did indeed pass away over the weekend. And the Bucky on Parade dedicated to him vandalized the next day.
-
Admirals declared AHL champions on Monday.
-
OK, this David Ayres story has me intrigued. I don't follow prop hockey close enough. Does every NHL and AHL city have an emergency goalie on call? Is a team allowed to make a roster move mid-game? (Imagine what Stearns could do with an "emergency player" in each city).

Pizza Pit nearly closed for good 25 years ago (on edit, 2006), but made a comeback. I've been to the Lake Mills location several times. My motto has been "if you live too far from Pizza Pit, you're too far from Madison". I've stuck with The Pit as I've just never warmed up to Glass Nickel. I don't work far from the Mequon Pizza Company. Now I'll have to try it out.
-
Mmm, haven't had Buck's in 30 years. Pizza Oven has recently closed.
-
Penny Marshall (Milwaukee's LaVerne DiFazio) died Monday.
-
I remember that episode and learned that was to be a spin off...just yesterday. MeTV aired "Brady Christmas" on Sunday and while browsing Brady Brunch on Wikipedia learned of that tidbit.
-
Milwaukee's Charlotte Rae has died. She was on "Different Strokes" and "Facts of Life".
-
The principle can be withdrawn anytime. Up to $10K in earnings can be withdrawn to purchase a principle residence.

I have two friends who work in HR who told you take a job with a company, you owe them two years and that's it. We just had a guy in his early 60's who was here three years, who had the no loyalty philosophy, got jerked around a bit but stuck it out, then was let go when we re-located and re-engineered the workforce. It doesn't take two years to train an experienced employee. The honeymoon lasts a couple of months, most. Unfortunately, it took many years into my career to realize employers only pay you enough to keep you from leaving, while the gap between what you earn and your market worth widens.
