I heard the rumours but never believed there was much truth to them. I couldn't believe signing a contract about it though. There certainly hasn't been any warnings from my company, and you would think there would be so they would minimize any liability issues. If there is truth to it, I would like ...

Scooter,

I was wondering if you knew why we didn't fill out a Christmas survey this year. I remember doing one mid to late season, but I thought that they would collect some information from people once they had gotten home and gained some perspective.

Was last year a one time only thing?

Scooter,

You spend way too much time on the internet looking for useless information to post.

However this is not nearly as much time as it would have taken someone to come up with all those rules!

I think that the greatest highlight of the entire clip is of Stanley running. Man that guy certainly worked his butt off, I could never go that hard all day.

yeah. that is very cool of folklore. Is there anything that a planter can do if a company wasn't proactive about these things? Or should they just aim to switch companies. From your experience, is it only fair for the planters to expect some of these moves from the larger companies, or even if you w...

Won't Folklore and the supervisors and foreman be libel (sp?) to some extent for a vehicle accident if the planters weren't wearing seatbelts? Especially if they didn't have proof that it was an encouraged practice in the company? Or was there a clause in one of the papers that we signed at the begi...

I am actually going to attempt there 8 week fitness plan for pre-planting. Who knows maybe it will only last a week, maybe by some miracle of god it will help me plant more trees.

I will keep you posted on how the plan works out. And if it makes any sense or not.
