Thanks, Carol! I try not to get my hopes up too much (usually), but oh boy, this would be a good one, if they want him for the position. For so many reasons.

Thanks, Linda!I wish him luck with the interview. Having a degree sure opens doors even if you use it for nothing else
My grandmother (same one who preferred younger doctors) started as a telephone operator and worked her way up at the phone company. She was a single mom at least part if that time. After her mother passed away, my mother told me that my grandmother had told her (in no uncertain terms), that she didn't care if my mother couldn't even spell her name, but she NEEDED that piece of paper.
Thank you! I'm hoping it goes well!
My significant other has been in a most unpleasant work environment for the last several months. It's been a hostile work environment, and he needs to get out of it.
Fortunately, he graduated earlier this month with a four-year degree, which should expand his employment options. (He isn't any smarter than he was before he got the degree, but that little piece of paper -- wallpaper, I call it -- makes such a huge difference in what he qualifies for.)
He has an interview today for a position, in the right field, with the right entity, and at the right level. Everybody think good thoughts, and prayers most appreciated. I think I'm far more nervous than he is!
Here's hoping the gods of employment shine on significant others today!
Ah yes. . . I forgot all about Adam's Saturn drawing. We def. should put Mom of 4's drawing in the gallery with that one!!!Perfect! Deserves to be in CDR Gallery together with Adam's "Saturn"!
Did that come out of your ankle? Why did it need to be removed? That looks like it's going to hurt for a while. I'm sending you good, healing wishes for when you're up and hobbling around!!
Can we have the recipe? It looks like maybe apples and cucumbers besides squash? And I want to know how you toasted the bread too.
ME TOO!!!!! I started working for Ma Bell in the '60s for $67 a week. I was an operator, then a clerk (who made up the operator's schedules and took down the call information for each operator), then a supervisor, then the supervisors' boss, then I moved over to the Engineering department and worked my way up through all the engineering jobs to finally become an Engineer. Retired from that job. Another one of those small world stories.
Yesterday was drizzly all day, so I didn't work outside at all. And now today, the leaves are probably too wet to do any raking, so I guess I'll have to stack some wood. I got a nice pick-up load of wood Saturday and just tossed it out of the truck onto the ground. I stacked about half of it Saturday, but there's still more to put up. I didn't make a fire today because it's not all that cold in here. No rain (read drizzle) today, but it is overcast and not very warm. . . but not exactly cold either. Probably good working outside weather.
So I guess I'd better get to it. Just wanted to tell you all how much I enjoy sharing your lives by reading about you here in the CDR. And I wonder if @Tidgy's Dad would be interested in writing a paragraph for our Christmas story.

Our leaves are pretty much down now. I haven't had to do any raking for a couple of weeks thank goodness. My shoulder may be much improved, but it doesn't enjoy raking
I'm not fond of raking either, and there's nothing wrong with either of my shoulders! But I use the leaves to cover tortoise and turtle hibernatoriums, so it has to be done.

I really am going to have to start using the desktop version of TFO more often. We don't get birthday notifications in the app
Happy Birthday Mark. Have a wonderful day
I know. It’s frustrating about the app
Love it. Well done, Yvonne!
Agree! I used to have bunch of aprons, chef’s hats, all kinds of kids’ rolling pins and such, cookie cutters and things, would do cookie baking playdates for 7-8 kids.... 3-8 yrs old , my kitchen cabinets and counters are up for major work. But it was so much fun!

Seriously your health and welfare, and that of your family, matters far more than a few cards! I am so glad you are recovering and, on the positive side, now you have an interesting building set to play with
That’s right! Thanks Linda! But I also suffered from a bad case of “lazy bones”, just couldn’t get crap done for a while. Think was just scared of that surgery. Chicken![emoji215]
That's awesome! Small world indeed. I get the feeling that may have been one of the only companies at the time where women actually had upward mobility. Good for both of you!
I have a great eye doctor here, very skilled and he doesn’t hurt you! My eyes are going too! If i had the $$ I’d let him do it now! He did my Mom’s and she could see straight out of the operating room! Eye drops 1-2xday for a week or two, and done! 20/20 vision now! At the age of 72! I so envy her
