38 Tips on Saving Money and Preventing Waste in Your Business
"Hi M.D. Good tips. For #5, it's also possible to have a bulletin board everyone is compelled to view when they check in each day - then you don't have to pass it around, which can be tricky if there's more than one shift, or people have the day off.

"Hi Priyaflorence. Good article, but sometimes generalities that divide groups of individuals into stereotypes as to behavior bother me on the grounds that indeed, we are All individuals.

I tried water for 4 years, and felt no health benefit, plus I tasted by own breath all day - so I had to buy Wintergreens, which ruined my teeth. Back on diet pop & doin' fine.
