Mark's wee room? Thought you were moving into an apartment? I am confoozled.

It's confuzzling to me too :lol: Mark's been living up here in a guest house during the work week since early May, driving down to south Jersey on the weekends, where I've been staying at my son's house since early July when I moved up from Houston. :blink: We are moving into our (brand) new apartment Tuesday--it's about 10 minutes from here. Can nae wait to sleep in me own bed again :D

MIL is here.

I didn't realize she was visiting....hope all is well :)

She flew out here for THIS:

Open Original Shared Link

She has been an "athlete" in the Canada Senior Games for about ten years, now. This year she won the gold medal in the Predicted Walk.

:)

Most importantly, this means that she has been in Brockville for most of her visit out east - - she's only in Ottawa for three days.... ..

And here I was wondering if she played hockey or contract bridge :ph34r: And she really hasn't been there much, so that helps. Half the sympathy withdrawn, especially since she's not a hockey player :lol:

Was wondering if Nik would comment on #5. Do they still use cobbler in polite conversation? Or even not so polite?

Em, did the MIL just show up at the door? Couldn't you pretend you weren't home? Had gone on vacation? Moved? Died?

Keep drinking and try to be in another room. That is my strategy for my FIL and his wife. Maybe the kids and the dogs can take her for many walks? That puppy could go for hours!

Quick pop-in. We live in interesting times. Personnel issues at the store are keeping us both challenged. We are losing one for sure--she is going to university out of town in less than a week. Another, who has just come back from family-related leave, needs to cut back on her availability as school demands increase. We are hiring, and have more applications than we have ever seen in a decade in business. We are down to a short list of two, but can't decide between them. Trying to line up another interview with each of them. Got one on for Wednesday; the other hasn't returned the call yet (not sure if the human who took the message can remember to deliver it).

Hub has hired many people in HR. He said if you have 2 you really like, you can't make a bad decision. He also said, decide what is most important - the ability to do the job really well or a personality friendly fit. Some times in small offices, personality fit is more important than how well they can do the job. Also, I know that when I have interviewed people the second time, they relax and weird sh&& comes out. Had a girl I was ready to hire. Had been working as a temp with us. Asked her why she was fired from previous job - for stealing! Stuff had been missing from others purses and desks at our office, too.

I was asked in an interview what I liked on my pizza? Pizza day was very important and my tastes needed to fir with theirs. I like black olives so I got the job.

As the wheel turns, so are our fates decided -- on our food preferences??? :unsure: Otherwise I have complete agreement with Karen's post.

Man, would I hire somebody who puts black olives on their pizza?...... . . . . ..

Absolutely. Not even a question. And the individuals who say green peppers? Sorry, we have nothing for you at this time. :huh::lol:

I must remember this. . . . . . ....I do NOT order the black olive option when getting pizza, but I sure as hell will lie about that if I am ever again interviewed for a job... . ....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
