Unfortunately, all this stuff is the crappier side of starting starting your own business. It probably took me ten minutes to set up my business--it took me hours to figure out the taxes on it.
I'd go with the cash method unti you absolutely have to switch.
I would like to know if there are any type 2 diabetics that used water fasting or juice fasting to gain control over their diabetes?
Self healing through fasting. Besides weight loss, did the fasting lower your blood glucose set point before eating IE from 9.0mmol to below say 6.5mmol. Did you body become more effective in handling a well balanced carb. meal(less insulin resistant)without traditional medication.
Lol. Im a cook at a cafe. I have about 8 minutes to cook the food before these rough neck customers start getting mad. Some of the stuff takes longer than 8 minutes to cook and I dont care about how good it taste when Im under pressure. My boss and the other cook is the same way. Some food is too low of a volume to keep in the frige because it will go bad in a few days.
I freeze food in small portions at 0 degrees and use a 1000 watt microwave.
Frozen always taste better because I can spend more time cooking it when bussiness is slow. All I care about is the 8 minute rule, quality and safety. Freezing is the only way to go on low volume food.
I worked at Grimmway Frozen Foods as a computer automation tech. It was the worlds largest industrial freezer plant. Blanching veggies makes last much longer fozen but that is what takes away flavor not the freezing. The faster you freeze it the better it taste. If you dont have a freezer tunnel at -40 degrees, try small portions will freeze faster in your home freezer.
Some veggies require blanching. Just boil in water for about 15-20 minutes only long enough to kill the plant cells but not hurt the flavor to much.
Always blanch Potatoes before freezing. They taste better blanched anyway.
I know that we can't use "Instant" mashed potatoes because one of the ingredients is sulfites also called sodium metabisulfite. If you have asthma and are allergic to sulfites you will have an asthma attack if you use this product.
Los Angeles style salchiches con tocino (weenies with bacon). Wrap the dog in bacon, hold it on there with a toothpic if necessary. Fry on griddle. Also fry sliced onions and bell peppers. Optionally, fry a yellow chili or jalapeno for spice. Serve in a bun like a regular hot dog, top with the vegetables, and offer mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, and mayo as optional condiments. (Believe it or not, this is considered Mexican or Central American or Latin American food here in LA.)
Weenie Royale - popular in Japanese American internment camps (aka, relocation camps, aka concentration camps). Chop up dogs on an angle (Japanese style), cook with 1/2 cut up onion. Add 3 eggs and a teaspoon or so of soy sauce. (This actually tastes really good - the eggs with soy sauce especially.)
I used to eat weenie fried rice. It's just fried rice with cut up hot dogs in it. Roughly the same ingredients as Weenie Royale, but cooked in a different order. Fry onions and dogs in a little oil. Add cold leftover rice. Add two eggs, and mix into the rice, and fry it all up. Add a dash of soy sauce, or to be authentic omit soy sauce and use salt and white pepper to taste.
If you want to save some money on the fridge biscuit dough, you can just make regular dough. Into a cup of tepid water, add a dash of sugar and 1/2 to 1 pouch of yeast. Let rest until it's foamed up and growing. Add flour and mix until it forms a ball. Knead in bowl, and let rest, covered half a day or a whole day. Remove from bowl, and knead on a floured board, incorporating flour until the dough is very smooth and elastic, but no longer sticky. Let rest in a greased bowl another hour or two. Roll the dough into "snakes". Wrap the dough around dogs, like stripes around a candy cane (or a dna helix), and bake in a 350 oven until done.
There's also beans and weenies. Slow cook some white beans, when mostly cooked add tomato sauce, and sugar or molasses. Last, add hot dogs. For more flavor add a cube of salt pork or bacon early on. You can also add some ketchup or BBQ sauce.
If you own several pair of the Pheiress Pocket Boxer Briefs from stashitware then you have the perfect place to stash your cash when you leave the house. Just put your money or credit cards in the stash pocket and then place the underwear in the dirty cloths or throw them on the bed or floor or fold them and put them in the drawers. It is very unlikely that any burglar will take the time to look in your dirty underwear for anything valuable and thats where your valuables will be. And always remember to wear your Pheiress pocket boxer briefs when you travel. Pickpocket proof with easy and fast access for stashing and retrieving your valuables if the need arises. If you were a burgler would you look in my dirty underwear for money or jewelry? Pocket Boxer Briefs.
Unfortunately just looking at the list makes me want to get out the headache pills. The past few years I get banging sick headaches 24 hrs after taking in caffeine (if I stop). It took a long time to work out what was happening but without fail i'd get a terrible headache on a Sunday because my intake fell dramatically at home.
I have the occassional drink so the list is handy to get a feel on what I can take and what to avoid. I guess if someone wants to kill me take me to Starbucks for a Grande without the ice! :)
My Dollar Tree sells Nature's Own whole wheat bread for $1! Beef jerky for $1. Cleaning cloths are another good buy. I organized my kids' toys with Dollar Tree containers.
They used to sell things like tub stoppers cheaper than anywhere else, but it seems they have stopped carrying those (right when I needed them, too).
I bought melamine bowls 2/$1 recently for breakfast cereal and we use them every day. I buy Epsom salts to soak in on achey days. I buy the little zippered makeup pouches 2/$1 to use as pencil pouches in my kids' backpacks, or to organize my purse.
I buy all our birthday party supplies there. I cannot find balloons any cheaper. Single bottled Cokes are $1, and the only place cheaper I can find singles is at Costco (.75 from the vending machine). Those are usually my "treat." I second the crackers--Saltines are cheaper there than at the other stores I've shopped.
The ear buds for MP3's and the LED reading lights didn't last long, though. I won't buy those again.
I've had four job offers in the past six months (with countless on-site interviews.) Every time I received a job offer it was within the day and before I was back from traveling home.
For all other jobs where I didn't hear a peep that day I sent out hand written thank you cards to every individual I spoke with during the interview. I was lucky to hear back in three to four weeks that they choose another candidate.
Save your wrist in the Science Field, they either want you or not. A Thank You card will not sway them.
However, it is important to note in the science field, you can't know everything there is to know about that field (even if you think the company wants that.) This is were managing human relationships become important. For instance I was recently hired for a position requiring 6-7 years of experience. I have only one year of professional experience in the particular field but much more in a less technical field. When they pointed out my grossly under-qualified background I calmly reminded them that the technical aspect can be taught and it's the ability to work with others and tap into those resources that can't be taught. I had a job offer within the day.
I got the 8k + a couple hundred this year. Without the tax credit though I would have only gotten about $250. Next year, I'm expecting about $25 because I got a higher paying job, and I claimed an extra exemption for a total of 2. Just buying a house and starting to get more aggressive in funding my Roth and 401K I could get more and make more out of my money NOW than in a lump sum at the end of the year. I won't lie, I used to love getting a large return, and being that this is the last year of my life I expect to get a large return I'd be lying if I said I won't be jealous when I see everyone celebrating their goods.
I am in management at my company. One of the things we look for is if the person has done research about our company. Since this is the internet age, it is an easy thing to do.
It is important that they understand the company and its business for which they might be working. If they do not take the time to do this, to me it shows lack of interest in some area.
I am not sure if anyone mentioned that you can research lawyers and law firms to see how reputable they are. Additionally, regarding malpractice cases, often lawyers fees are contingent on whether or not you actually win or receive a settlement.
Gee... if this works you would be my hero. My favorite game for wii isn't working no matter how hard I've tried. In fact, my I'm trying a method as we speak.
Chocolate does not contain caffeine. It contains theobromine which is a stimulant, but reacts with the body in a different way that caffeine and is not as harsh.
zorcy...thanks! ran it through again after filtering.........no acetone taste. i believe acetone has a 58 degree point or something anyway, so it should have come over before the fusels?. must be just a particular carrot odour. The whole aluminium debate puzzles me. My uncle had a still made from an aluminium milk churn...well not exactly a "churn" as such, more like one of those aluminium double-handled containers with the deep lids that the dairy collected the milk from the farm in. there never seemed to be any problem taste-wise or anything with his poteen.I always heard that the chemicals in the coating on stainless were more harmful. anything in this??
Carrie, you should have numeroius options in Chicago. Find a producer-only, organic farmers' market and you should find one or more egg producers who are delighted to tell you in detail how their birds are raised... probably with photos.
For the last five years, in two small midwestern cities, I've been able to find eggs from several producers who free-range their hens on grass - generally mixed pasture with a variety of nutritious greens and plenty of bugs. One uses a school bus as a coop; the girls are out all day, come in only at night and are driven to fresh pasture a few days after the cows leave, so they can get extra, er, insect goodness while keeping down manure flies. It's a beyond-organic system that guarantees the most nutritious possible eggs. I've paid $2.50-4 per dozen for these eggs, and seen the same quality at $5-6 dozen in major cities' farm markets.
The difference between beyond-organic eggs and supermarket eggs, especially in the summer, is NOT subtle or hazy. The good eggs have brilliant orange yolks that stand high and round, firm whites, and a delicious rich egg flavor. Worth every cent and then some.
More importantly, you can find producers who raise their own chicks with *gasp* real hens. Why is this important? Because chicks raised with healthy adults consume beneficial avian intestinal bacteria along with their food, much as human mothers' breastmilk benefits their babies. The chicks' GI tracts are colonized against salmonella and goodness knows what else, making both eggs and meat much safer to handle and eat.
I shop at piggly wiggle in henderson, TN. and I have to say 4 out of 10 times I'm over charged on everyday prices. It happens so often that I've thought it's purposeful. Just think of how much money in one day that may be overcharged and people don't don any thing ab out it because It's only .50 or a dollar. To me it seems like a money making scheme meant to defraud the consumer and or the store it self by a manager who may at the end of the day refund the over charges to him self. And on paper it would look like the consumer was refunded the overcharge.
I have 4 Very tall Palm Trees i'd say about 30 feet tall. Want to sell them ASAP!!! if intersted please call me and leave a message and I can email you pictures of them. Will sell for best offer. 916-628-3283
I think the application of #5 depends on the position for which you are interviewing and the person who is asking the question.
As the larger businesses have multiple persons interviewing the applicant, since there are many stakeholders who will interact with the position once it's filled, then the experience of the interviewer varies from veteran to novice.
A novice might very well be swayed by the "strength as a weakness" but I feel the veteran will see the answer as too pat, too practiced and really without thought or substance in relation to the fit between the applicant and the position.
Once you have decided to show your enthusiasm for obtaining the position, as Guest commented in response #2, then take a look at the position and your own qualifications and see where you might need some help in fitting in at the company. Before you answer the weakness question, be sure to understand which specific skills or experience will be essiential, especially from the interviewer's perspective, and compare/contrast those to your own skill set and experience.
Then take a second to think about which areas of your resume or qualifications *not* on the resume that will need some buffering while you transition in the position.
It's OK to take a few seconds to be thoughtful. Of course, don't spend more than about 10 seconds or so, and be sure to "think out loud" to help fill the silence (such as, "Well let me see.....in this position... from what I have learned in my research about the company/position/industry....and of course from what we have discussed so far....", and then respond, "I think I will need to work on....~example of this/that/the other that specifically speaks to an area that the job description or interviewer has mentioned that you really will need to work on~".
The hiring manager will appreciate the thought process, the application of your analysis to the position, and your honesty.
When you mention the weakness, consider asking about the strength the manager has in that area or the resources at the company for helping you...immediately get them thinking, even if only in the back of their head, about solutions or mitigation of your weakness. That will help assuage any fears they might have about your weakness, if you can start addressing it even before you have started. You demonstrate your eagerness to learn and "fix" yourself.
Also consider looking at past evaluations, and depending on how applicable the review was to the position and company's needs, mention instead how you were improving such-and-such from your last review and how much progress you have made or steps you have taken.
I agree with the previous comments about saying your biggest weakness is working too hard. These are weasel words and the interviewer will see right through them. Instead focus on weaknesses that you overcame. If you lacked knowledge in a previous role, tell them how you researched it and learned more or went on a course.
If your problem is dealing with challenging customers, tell them how you calm them down and address their issue.
It shows you don't give up easily and are adaptable.

coarse salt and a hard bristled toothbrush removed one on my right forearm once. it was only small though.
ALL 12V dry cell batteries are made like this- containing 8 1.5 Volt buttons, including the cheap Chinese batteries.
This is for the 12 VOLT ONLY- it's a shorter battery than the AA or AAA- don't try prying open a 1.5 volt AA or AAA battery.

The only pet toys we still have are tough ropes for pulling and a few Kongs left around (good for a bit of PB). She is *never* bored with a bone.
Never had a purchased pet toy for our cats, either. Bit of yarn, sock with a rubber ball in the toe, milk jug rings (the best), feather on a string.
