In reply to Guest. So many people want to be up front so they can be the first off the plane when it arrives at the gate. Consider this. If the plane crashes, you're also the first to arrive at the scene and with the full weight of the plane directly behind you..

Whatever you do…. Do not book through Expedia. I booked a trip to Punta Cana through them and nearly ever part of the trip was incorrect. I spent more time fixing their mistakes than I did enjoying the beach. The customer service is terrible. In fact, I am currently on the phone with them trying to get a refund for a part of my vacation and have been on hold for a total of 65 minutes. Dont waste your time. Book through someone else.

In reply to Proud future Ross DVM. I am a Ross grad. It was an amazing experience! In clinics, I knew just as much, if not more than the other students. The practical experience you get is the best. I had a chance to transfer to a state-side school, but decided I would benefit more from staying. As a side note, the people I know that went to St. George, ended up there because they failed out of Ross... that said, I have also met some great vets that went there as well.

HR “professionals” hire plain vanilla candidates with at best “average” results. After 35 years in business at the senior level dealing with said “professionals” I can honestly say most of them would have rejected Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Henry Ford.

Obviously She Knows doesn’t know that petroleum jelly is made from petroleum and isn’t good to put on your body. 66% of what you put on your skin goes into your body. Olive or coconut oil are good make-up removers. Also she should know that you don’t need all that garbage on your face to be beautiful. Also that if your face is producing oil it is to moisturize and protect your skin probably from all that make-up.

In reply to Boris. I agree, but if you DO have faith what's wrong with staying home and trying to be comfortable? Maybe use some homeopathic or unconventional methods? Being in the hospital may destroy ones spirit and hopes.

Comment on 13 Things Baristas Won’t Tell You by kath marie

kath marie — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 01:40:00 +0000

STARBUCKS SENDS THEIR BARISTAS TO SCHOOL?! What an outrageous, total fallacy. Starbucks expects you to have a working knowledge of coffee and then throws you to the wolves…and frankly, that’s the only way you learn. It requires nerves of steel, not letting coffee snobs and impatient people rent space in your head…and this allows you to appreciate all the wonderful people you meet at this job, who have saintly patience, kindness and just want to be kind to the harried, busy barista too. To all my sweet, wonderful customers, thank you! To all the coffee snobs and impatient self-centered customers, thank you also: you make me appreciate that my mom taught me good manners and kindness for others.

In reply to Matt Dawson. Matt, you are also a person with an extremely kind heart, a good sense of himself and someone who is aware of the inner soul of many people: the good, the crabby and the just snotty. And you let the bad stuff roll off your back. As a middle aged barista still learning this art you will be my role model. Thank you for your sweet wisdom!

How about sharing stories about the applicants who applied for jobs and what they had to deal with from the interviewers? I have had at least three interviews in my past, where the people I interviewed with were unprofessional, rude and disrespectful!

Is it any wonder why HR always hires the wrong people and pisses off the whole outfit? We need to get rid of people that don’t add value and pretend to serve a managerial function.

In reply to Wzystko Cokham. Oh, definitely. When I'm hiring people for a 20 million dollar project, that's success depends on my ability to keep my job, and determines my bonus, pay raises, and my ability to feed my family, i DEFINITELY hire "da pretty girl lolz" and not the person most capable of doing the job.

I am very lucky I don’t have any issues like these with any of my three DIL’s. In fact they usually call me and stay in touch with me more than my sons do! I don’t feel any sense of competition for my “baby boys”. Quite the opposite, I am delighted to know that they are now in good hands. My job here is done, and I’ve passed the baton. I’m glad to know they are with somebody who has their back, and makes sure they get their checkups, go to the dentist and eat healthy meals. They have somebody else to put her foot down and refuse to let them get a motorcycle or go skydiving (they wouldn’t listen to me anyway.) So bring on the DIL’s. They can be – and SHOULD be – a mother’s best friend!

In reply to Dee Bell. Google move called "A Stranger to Love." 1985 Lifetime movie about this situation. In other words, unless they made up the movie too this story is real.

this is pretty one sided.. i call my MIL to thank her for everything, Im always respectful and include her in even my family events.. none of that stops her from trying to take over and baby my husband now more than she ever has in his entire life! And i know b/c we were friends first, dated for 9 yr, and have been married for 3. All of a sudden SHE wants to throw his bday party, SHE wants to bake heart shaped cakes for Valentines day, etc.. seriously? it would be one thing if that had always been her, but this is new behavior
