LOL, that's already been done here.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cookin...hlight=recipes

There's already a thread for that someplace. Was started back in Feb or so

Oh boy I will go and check it out. Thanks guys...

Cool. Shows how much I know. I will have to check it out!

How did the recipes search go. Hope all had a great night. (;

Every night is a great night :)
Every day is a wonderful day
But truth is, I'm not that old, so its still morning for me, and I have such a long and wonderful day ahead of me!
:) have a wonderful day peoples!

Have a wonderful day back person. Hee Hee

Hope everybody has a great weekend, I am off and about to go out.

Morning. Got to go help Nana with the garage sale she is having. It is time for her to let go (if you know what I mean) lol

Hey guys, where is everyone? I am tired this morning and want to be in my room reading a book instead of out here in the mix of things...
Hope all is well. Today is a day where I will be getting out my joke book to cheer me and all these little stinkers up. They love it when I do it... MORNING TO EVERYONE! :eek:

Good Morning! My baby is back home! I think she grew a couple of inches while she was gone!

I knew you would be so happy... I am having a problem keeping my girl home, everyone wants a piece of her and I miss her terribly. It sure is good for her to be a big girl though. She has made great friends with some of the elders around here by helping them and she has also made some good money... How are you Nowwhat? I haven't had much time to get to the recipe post have you?

I actually just posted a question for ideas with Pork chops. I need some new stuff in the kitchen to dazzle the family!

Things are good here! I am on a job hunt. My husband thinks it is time for me to re-enter the workforce. I guess he is right. Now that she is in school full time - my days get kind of boring. He thinks it would do me good to get out and talk to adults and challenge my brain a little!

I agree. I am going to be in the same boat. I hate t say it but it does feel good to talk to people our own age and I am going to try and find something so I can be back when school is over. I want to try and have a snack ready and help with any homework that needs to be done... Getting a little job will be great. What do you think you want to do?

Well, I don't know. At this point, I am open to anything. I guess secretarial stuff or Administrative. That is really my background.
I am learning, though, that there isn't a big market for people who have been out of the workforce for 7 years. I have had a couple good (or so I thought) interviews, but no call backs. I don't get it. I would hire me!

So would I. I am thinking food industries. I made lot's as a waitress and I love people. I got really depressed with my one year of payroll and accounts receivables... I love hanging out and moving around with people... I need to be completely busy.

I have often thought about waitressing. But, I know I would drop food all over people, get the orders wrong and just be fired after one night. I just can't take that kind of disappointment! Plus, I have a low tolerance for people. :)
I actually do well at a desk, in front of a computer. Facts and figures really challenge me. I think I would be perfect for the IRS! :)

My suggestion for those out of the workplace for a while is to volunteer.

It shows you can keep to a schedule, can prioritize, and that you're willing to work.

The fear from employers when you've been out that long is that you won't be able to readjust to the work world, and that they'll spend the time and money training you only to have you break under the stress or whatever and quit. Or you'll forget what office politics are like and will not fit in with personalities.

A part time job is a good choice, so it doesn't overwhelm your time and volunteering is always good. I did that a lot before I started working again. I feel guilty when I feel like should be doing more at home/ at work. NO matter what I always feel like I am slacking somewhere. I really want to go back to school for my masters. But... I have to do the paperwork. I am such a slacker sometimes.

Volunteering is the best idea ever! Good one Synnen... Thanks.
Sara19, hey you, glad you came on board! We are so happy you brushed your teeth...

Lol αnd flossed ;)

You good girl!! They say flossing adds like 6 years to your life or something like that. Welcome sara!!

Thαnk-yα-- well I kindα don't wαnnα live long I'm scαred of becoming elderly.. αnything pαst 50 well.. 40ish..

Its sαrαi btw:)

I am not aware of the life changing experience flossing can have??
I really want to have a good vegitarian meal today. I don't know why, we don't eat like that as a family but I do every chance I get. I am going to treat myself to a Yumm from Yumm café, I will have my husband bring me one after work.

Whαts α yumm? :( I feel left out ::dαmn cαnαdiαns with their non-exisiting lingo other thαn eh::

What? No way I hear that those are the best years ever. I can't wait to get to those years. I just turned 33 today so I am not even going to talk... You are a young one though, I forgot. You are still the same inside it just loks funky sometimes on the outside. I made sure that I didn't have any strange wiskers before I went to bed. I didn't want to be reminded of how old I would be today!

Teehee-- well by 40 I wαnt to be gone.. I don't wαnt to go through the scαriness of retirement homes αnd strokes αnd dentures-- oldness is my biggest feαr :o yikes

What the heck is Yumm Café? I never heard of it. Yes start, on Oprah that famous Doctor guy said that flossing keeps your heart healthy and prevents something I don't remember but it definitely adds years to your life. I am guessing that bad gums tends to lead to other problems?? Oh Sara, I feel you! I am 34 and it feels like yesterday that I was just a teenage girl . I don't mind getting older, but looking older will suck for sure!! By the way I love your baby's name. Shayla is BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats on your newlywed status. You have a lot on your plate huh?? Well, I did that young too and at least we have the energy at a young age. I don't know how well I would do with the nights of no sleep nowadays. I do miss holding them when they were that small. My girl is 10 and my son is 7.

A Yumm is a rice and black bean with this funky sauce and avacado and onions and someyummy tomato things in it. Oh it is HEAVEN!! Ok, I will floss more. I am VERY lazy about it.

OMG WHAT THE HECK!! HoW THE frick did I forget your BIRTHDAY WAS TODAY!@!! I Am the worst. The worst friend ever!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY JELLYBEAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! I officially suck. I um, OK I feel so stupid. I am sorry.!

αww thαnks but well I decided shαylα is going to be the only bαby thαt I'm going to hαve- god post-pαrtum, in-pαrtum, pre-pαrtum.. whαtever is α lot of work plus I'm stαrting to go bαck to my "normαl-self" αfter 5 looonnnggg months... wow pαrenting is tough αnd I heαrd it gets tougher:( I'm not reαdy for this--jeeze like you sαid I do hαve α lot on my plαte.. αnd just yesterdαy my husbαnd sαid he wαnted 4 children... 4! αhhh... I'm going to go tie my tubes now αnd declαre myself sterile ::fαint::

Sara, you will be fine. As time goes you just adjust and do things right for no apperant reason!

yα well tough luck for him my VJ won't αdust 4 other kiddies noooo thαnkyouuu

SARA you are very cute! I know. I felt the same way. It took me three years to even consider having another one. Well, I have to say I am glad I have two, but anymore and I might need a straight jacket and send me to the real looney bin! LOL Seriously, my friend decided after her first that she wanted no more, she knew what she wanted and she meant it. She got her tubes tied and she is happy with one. Everyone is different. I does get harder but in different ways. It is also more exciting and interesting as they get older. I loved my kids at 5 months, but each year they do something new and I watch them turn into real people. That is very cool. Just be good to yourself. You need time to yourself, be pampered. Get a pedicure, go out with friends, read a book by yourself. I wish I would have known about this site when my kids were babies, it would have helped me feel not so alone. You look great by the way. I think I still looked pregnant when my daughter was 5 months lol.

I have only one. It is tough! If there was one more - she would have someone to play with. Anytime we go places, like the lake, we have to find a friend to go with us so she won't be left alone to play in the sand.
And, a mom can only play barbies so much. I remember that I loved barbies when I was little, but now, I truly hate them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Start!

Teehee I don't reαd books.. thαnks for the comp. but it took α lot of hαrd work :( I wαnt to eαt choc.! Mmm... yα shαylα is flipping αround αnd bαbbeling...

Thanks Nowwhat. I know, you can only play dolls for so long. My daughter goes to her friends house, he is an only child and his parents invite her over all the time cause he is so sweet and loving and NOT bored when she is there.

Oh my goodness, she is so big now since the last picture. How sweet you guys are. Too pretty I tell you. Thanks for sharing Sara...

n/p :) I know everyone enjoys showing off their bαbies--- ugh so now I gottα get my butt of the PC becαuse we're in the process of moving- YIPPIE --- how fun is thαt!!

OK you do have your hands full, moving too? UGHH , That is a lot of work. I just love the picture of you two! She is sooo adorable, looks like you huh?? Well good luck with your moving. Hope to talk to you again sometime!! Peace!
