    Why? You have an opinion? Share it

    Very well. My opinion is. Neither party is a "Godly" party.  You do not know what goes on behind doors. I have always voted for the person and not the party. 

    I might say more on this topic later depending where the thread goes. 

     

     

  2. After much thought on this matter. I think it would be best for me to just give the $10.00 + another $10.00 = $20.00 to the church's charity jar that goes to help someone in the church who is in need.  While I do have talents gifted to me by God, they do not seem to ones that would raise money. Which I am okay with. As we are not gifted with the same talents.  So for me, this seems to be the right thing to do at this time. 

  3. So I rolled this around in my head for a bit like I do and I can't figure out what went wrong. The guy was impressed with my experience. Told me the position he would have me working. (I had applied for 2 positions because I have had experience in both jobs that were listed) Then he proceeded to tell me about the job. Hrs,pay,that sort of thing. All of this lead me to think that this was  very hopeful. So what happen? I do not know. I feel kind of mad about it.

    Many years ago, when I was having difficulty with a particular employee, an older colleague told to help him find a job before I fired him. That seemed odd to me at the time but it worked. The concept is generalizable to other situations. 

    Find a recipe you like and ask mom to make it. 

    Then, assuming the taste is at least pleasant, affirm her (not just the dish she prepared) and let her know anytime she wishes to make you something that is what she should make because she did such a wonderful job. You might then be able to also tell her the kinds of foods or flavors you like. 

     

     

    When I married I came from a home in which my mother had taken professional cooking classes. I ran group homes and taught folks with developmental disabilities how to plan and cook meals, and I'd lived as a bachelor in various phases of health/dietary fads for many years. My wife did not know how to cook ("On what temperature do I bake chicken breasts, and for how long?").

    I'm not a particularly big fan of mayonnaise. My wife likes it. She has recipes for beef stroganoff and quiche that use mayo! :13: Gotta tell her. Also gotta eat what she fixes and offer some degree of appreciation, for the effort at a minimum, if not the dish itself. Appreciation is appreciated. So too is this truth: behavior that is rewarded is much more likely to re-occur. Thank you for dinner..... (then a day or two later), hey, can you maybe find a quiche recipe without mayonnaise and alternate form time to time? And when she does well, "WOW mom! That was deeelicious! (big hug, kisses on the cheek) Thank you, mom, you're so nice."

    So find a recipe you like and give it to mom. Then praise her shoes off when she does well and invite her to fix that dish from time to time. Add a different dish from time to time. Pretty soon she'll be a better cook and maybe she'll take those dishes to her friends and say, "My daughter loves this dish so I fixed it for you." ;) 

    Unless you're poor she's not cooking because you need the food.

     

     

    Or - when you get your new job :36: - pay for a cooking French, Italian, or Mediterranean cooking class at the local community college of adult extended learning center. 

     

     

    Or... just say her cooking needs work and deal with the consequences. Maybe offer to cook with here sometime and either go to her or have her come to you and the two of you so-prepare a dish from a recipe you like. Or do the co-cooking without telling her cooking stinks and in that way offer some mom-daughter time and improve her cooking. 

    That is very helpful advice, but the thing is is that my mother dose not like to cook. She makes the easiest thing possible and is not going to put any real effort into it. For example she made banana pie with just banana  pudding in a pie shell with no real bananas. So even if I said to her "well you need to make it this way" example cut up bananas ect ect. She is going to be like "well if you want that than you do it".    LOL :)

  5. I do not know where you all are with this topic but I am having kind of an issue. My mother can not cook. Well she can cook. But we don't want to eat it. She keeps making stuff and bringing it over to us to eat The food is bad and I end up tossing in out because no one will eat it. Then my mother will ask me if I like the pie, cake, soup or whatever. And I tell her it was fine. As I do not have the heart to tell her that we can not eat her cooking.

    perhaps call them and ask for feedback so you then know if they have a reason or if it is just one of those things  Still praying for you :th_praying:

    I don't want to be a bother. I dont think they would tell me anything anyway. Years ago if I wanted a job I just went out and got one. Now noone will hire me.

  7. So my church did this last Sunday and I am not sure what to make of it. The sermon was on the 5 talents in  in Matthew 25:14. So our pastor said that he has $2,000 dived up into 50s,20s, and 10s in envelopes.  He said he will be passing these around. We were to pick one envelope. They were unmarked and you did not know what envelope had what amount.  He said we are then suppose to come up with ways to double the money and give it back to a Christian based charity.  He then gave out ideas such as using your money to print up t-shirts and sell them for the charity. Or holding a bake sell using your money to by stuff to make cakes for the bake sell. Then give the money to charity.  He also said if you yourself are going through a bad time right now and you could use this money. Then keep it and use it for what you need it for. 

    So the envelope I got had $10.00 in it. And I am like how in the world do I double $10.00? So I am left thinking about this. But what do you all think about this?

    Still praying that you got that call you were waiting on and if not then a much better job is very close for you :th_praying:

    So I called on Friday like he said to do. He told me he would be calling people on Monday around noon. I waited all day. No call. I have waited all day today. Still as of now, no call. I don't understand any of this. I have over 15 years of experience for the job.  He said he was impressed with my experience and it sounded so hopeful. What gives? I do not know. Every interview has been like this. It seems my years of experience means nothing.(sigh)  :b:

    Maybe I should lie and say I do not know anything about this job?  Maybe that would get me in?

    Any news ? Still praying for you :th_praying:

    I called today and he said he has been very busy this week and has not had time to make a  decision yet. He said he will be calling the people he wants to come in  on Monday around noontime. So back to wait and see.

    Biden stopped construction of the wall and Democrats have been against the wall since its construction began.

    Being against the wall dose not mean you don't what to  secure the boarder. There are more effective technology today that is used to help secure the boarder.
