I think dark chocolate lovers won.

We were always the winner... don't tell them though, those milky chocolate types are pretty sensitive.

I heard from a guy in Youtube that Disney is desperate for staff they are holding a job fair for 2k jobs and positions.
Disney's Careers website is also offering so many jobs as well.
Seems they did indeed haemorrhage staff this COVID furlough.

Any jobs for you in there?

Everyone question :how many dark chocolate lovers vs milk chocolate on here?

As a kid I loved milk, but now I prefer dark.

Ok, so there's a guy from my home town....he's like 10 years older than I am, so I never went to school with him and don't know him well, but he was always nice. I got hand-me-downs from his sister while I was growing up and my mom worked with his mom for a bit. They were crossing guards at the school. Anyway, this guy lost his older son a year ago, and his other son a few weeks ago, and his roommate has stage 4 cancer that has spread to both lungs and he decided to go home rather than die in the hospital where he couldn't have visitors because of covid. So this guy is going through a really rough time, and his roommate has tons of visitors every day, but no one has stopped to offer him support for his losses. And I had seen that he had posted about the roommate having a lot of visitors, so I asked him if HE was getting the support he needed, too, and he said I was the first person besides his sister to acknowledge that it must be difficult with all the people coming in to visit his roommate right now. I thought that was so sad, and so many of us know someone who has lost someone in the last year and a half...not just with covid, but all sorts of things. But we don't always know what to say, so we say nothing. So I just wanted to encourage everyone to say SOMETHING....it doesn't even have to be about their loss. Ask them for a favorite memory of the person they lost, ask them about a hobby...even if it's been months, they still need support. Most people come to the funeral, offer condolences, and then go home. That's when people feel even more alone and need even MORE support. I wish I could offer this guy more support than I can....it's hard to offer to go out to lunch or to take him a meal from a different continent, so all I can do is just talk to him, but I've been loving our conversations. He lived with Blackie Dammet for a while and has some interesting stories. I think I'm getting just as much from our chats as he is. And it's so easy just to say hi. So I wanted to tell everyone to reach out, because I'm sure we all know SOMEONE who could use a kind word just so they don't feel forgotten once the funeral is over and everyone goes home, and grieving people don't always realize they need the connection, so they won't ask for it themselves.

Nope, nothing international I'm afraid. I will hunt for more certificates to boost my probabilities.
I definitively will need NETWORK+ in the least.
Will go for Cisco later on. Depends on where my career might go.

I have a medical update on my dad. He went to his Cardiologist this morning and is now allowed to do all the activities he did before the heart attack. He still has to attend his cardio classes though.

Good news! I hope he has continued success in his recovery.

I'll raise you. We have ants in the kitchen. I need to lock the cats in the basement so I can spray for them because they've done nothing but follow me around.

 

[donaldtoo]

Needless to say he's now outside mowing

Assuming y’all don’t have an actual flame thrower , was he using aerosol cans and a lighter…?!!!!!

Love all chocolate, but, the first time I tasted very mildly sweet dark chocolate years ago it was my favorite, by far…!!!!!

Why would the ants follow you around ?

I just saw the dumbest thing in my life. Well, one of the dumbest in the last few years. Look up pureblood in the news and you will see why.

That's great news that your dad is feeling better. Does he attend cardio exercise classes at a gym, or can he do those at home (following a DVD, for example)?
