I do a to do list and not a large one for each day i do it at night and then I check off it one at a time as it gets down I set my clocks all over the house; such as my 3 cell phones I set them in other rooms so when they ring I am forced to get up and motivate myself then I put Beyonce on the cd player and that motivates me I set the auto program button on my coffee maker and wake up to MAXWELL House coffee brewing I pray and give thanks then I read my DAILY BREAD AND MY LENT BOOK FOR EASTER AND THEN I GIVES THANKS TO ~~~ GOD WHO IS THE HEAD OF MY LIFE TODAY FOR WAKING ME UP AND KEEPING MY ALIVE AND THEN I AM OFF TO COLLEGE A 53 YEAR OLD WOMAN I STILL ENJOY MY EDUCATION IT LETS ME KNOW I STILL GOT A GOOD BRAIN INSIDE
As a waitress/ bartender I have access to LOTS of wine corks. I have use them to make a wine inspired wreath, door stops. and my favorite ....hat rack I used leftover trim ( for my house) 1 1/2 inch leftover small nails from a previous project and Lots of corks. The trim goes up on the wall about 3 to 6 inches from the ceiling and I inversly put a nail about every6 inches apart(measured ) and the I slide a cork tilted slightly upward with the nail head away from you . I then put up my husband's many baseball caps on them. The caps are up out of the way not laying around. You can doo this over doorways or anywhere that is about 6 inches wide,...no clutter
My husband and I both have a Roth IRA. It just seems easier to pay taxes now rather than in the future....who knows when the government might change or raise them.
I live in a small town and we have a satellite branch near my house. They prefer that you don't roll change. But they do let me drop off a bag of change with a blank deposit slip in the morning and they put it through the machine when it gets slow and then deposit it to my account. The receipt shows up in my mailbox the next day. No charges and they haven't messed up yet.
if your job was slowly transforming into another job title and you were no longer doing what you were hired to do... I think that's a great reason to want to be laid off...
And even if it did work, stapling something that's "great for starting fires" to the kids' playroom wall is perhaps not the height of wisdom!

I recently went through an interview that I can honestly say was probably the weirdest in my entire 27-year career. I was interviewing (on the phone) for a Technical Writer position and was asked the following two questions:
1. Tech writers are supposed to teach people something that they don't know. Teach me something. (He said I could talk about anything--it didn't have to be technical.)
2. My Grandmother just walked into the room. She has never used a computer before. Explain to her how to use Google.
I've been a Technical Writer for over 16 years and have had more job interviews than I can even remember, but I have to admit, these questions really blindsided me. However, we seasoned writers are supposed to be able to think on our feet, right?
So, I answered the questions like this:
For #1, I discussed the merits of adopting/rescuing a senior dog vs. a puppy or younger dog. This is something I'm pretty familiar with, because I have 5 senior dogs of my own and have been rescuing dogs for most of my adult life. Jackpot!! One of the interviewers had adopted a senior dog himself in the recent past, so while I didn't "teach" him anything, I definitely tipped the is-she-a-good-candidate-scale in my favor.
The first thing I asked the interviewers in response to question # 2 was whether their Grandmother had really walked into the room--this was a phone interview, after all, and they hadn't set this up as a hypothetical scenario. So, after they clarified that this was indeed just a hypothetical situation, the first thing I asked was whether the computer was turned on. Another score!!! It turns out this was the "correct" answer and all they wanted to know. They didn't want any additional information. All the candidates they had interviewed before me provided long-winded, drawn-out answers, but never asked that first critical question. After letting the other candidates finish their instructions, they told each of them that the screen was black because the computer was off.
I made it to the second round for an in-person interview and ended up being offered the job.
I am an HR Manager for a marketing firm. When we are hiring I review the resumes and call the candidates that I feel are qualified and the other manager conducts the interviews as they come in. Most recently we were interviewing for a managers position. When I asked what they were looking for in a new position, about half of the candidates answered, "Well I am will not do any sort of sales". If we've just talked for the past 10 minutes about Managing, motivating a team, and goal setting why would your answer be what you're NOT going to do? I know 'sales' isn't for anyone, and if I was looking for a sales person, that would make sense. But sales generates profit for businesses and without generating profit, there would be no money or need for a manager. BIGGEST TURN OFF. I will never hire someone who answers the question like this.
I used to use bleach for my cleaning needs but have found that vinegar works just as well to disinfect and clean, but has less risk. If my children want to come right behind me and lick the floor I just moped (yes it has happened) then I'm not worried about them getting ill. It also works as a fabric softener, replaces Windex to clean glass, and many more that you can find.

I have heard of both of them, and I have both of them.

Yes, I know about Ira and Roth Iras.
I have heard of both traditional and Roth IRA.
I have heard a lot about Roth IRAs and I'm considering opening one.
I like Wisebread on Facebook!

as soon as i started working i opened up a roth. dad would have been proud!
And even if it did work, stapling something that's "great for starting fires" to the kids' playroom wall is perhaps not the height of wisdom!

Hey, look! More MailSouth crap in my mailbox... again
Wow - what a great story! Thanks for sharing.
I had the benefit of being able to research potential answers. If I was put on the spot, I'm not sure I could answer these questions either!

We don't have Roth IRAs but my husband and I need one!
Both my wife and I contribute to individual 401(k)'s through our work.
Wanted to try this but...
My 10 gal. sprayer has a measuring idle.
It measures 1 tsp-4 tsp, 1-3 tbs and 1-8 oz.
So what setting should I use.
Some of those questions were actually pretty funny. Good thing I've never been asked any of those questions because I'm not sure how I would respond.

yup, heard of both but have neither.
