It's been so long since I logged into POF I had to request my name and password. Do I have pic, won't know till this posts! Would love to be able to attend this one just for the girls and the beach! :)

If there is one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
Posted: 12/3/2010 6:20:59 PM
Can I choose to change my yearly (i.e., weekly and monthly) income? Does that qualify for "about me?" Not that there's nothing else that needs improvement, but it all takes effort.

I'm so used to FB, where I hang out more lately, I just wanna press the LIKE button.



Not sure worrying would be the "one thing" I'd change about myself but it IS something I do that I wish I didn't. Changing just one thing, versus improvement in different areas...I think we all want to be more of the positive things, and less of the negative, but we also want to accept ourselves for who we are.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who worries too much, and has some paranoia about what other people think.

I'd like to change that. It's not that I'd rather not care, I just don't want to even think about it because I have enough other issues and problems to think about.

renewing driver's license in Fla.
Posted: 9/9/2010 6:50:26 PM
Nancy, I hereby order you to never go to the driver's license bureau on your birthday!!! Even though it's close to where you live!!!

Your birthday should be reserved for only pleasant things, no chores or responsibilities if you can help it. That's just my opinion, of course, I had to work on my birthday but you know what I mean.

What would you do if you found $20?
Posted: 9/5/2010 9:39:32 AM
Thanks edventure (nice name). Can't believe this thread's still going after a year. I let the receptionist know I found something, but not what, and told her if anyone says they lost anything to let me know. She asked what it was and I told her I'd let her know if someone asks about it. Since then I also found a $20 bill in one of my shorts pockets. The bad news is I'm making a lot less money now than I was a year ago and the economy sucks. I'm all out of wine, but not whine!



Hope everyone has a Happy Labor Day weekend!

Why Florida?
Posted: 8/19/2010 5:21:18 PM
I've seen a few places enough to know that not all places are the same... and there are places that are less hectic, crowded, expensive, etc., BUT I'm also aware that even so, it would not be easy to transition to such a place unless comfortably retired. At the rate things have been going vacation is just another word for ... wishful thinking.

Why Florida?
Posted: 8/18/2010 8:12:34 PM
I've lived in South Florida since 1972 and I feel I'd like to make a change, but as some have said, there are places here I'm in love with: Islamorada in the Keys, St. Augustine Beach.. and places I've never gotten to visit. Where I live has gotten crowded, too expensive, materialistic, competitive and stressful, so I imagine a life somewhere, anywhere, more serene and natural. Don't have the resources and time to explore and find that place, however.

Me too, thoughts and prayers for Laura. Nancy, you too, glad you're posting. Started a new job 3 weeks ago. Hoping it works out, appears the hardest thing has been learning the alarm, caused the police to come twice lol. Favorite thing this week, not sure, but I went out to dinner tonight, that was nice.

Menopause and The Aftermath of its Wake.
Posted: 8/1/2010 3:08:57 PM
You can't be sure age was the real reason, although I'm up there in age also and often felt at times people didn't hire me for that reason, not so much because of menopause but more because they think older women aren't quick, fast, on-the-ball multi-taskers. That simply is not the case. When I was in my 20's I was fast, then in my 30's-40's I went through a slower phase, now in my 50's, and fueled by anxiety (or "something"), I feel I'm quick quick quick (once I finally get out of bed and have some coffee)!

Employers assume older women have more health issues but that's not necessarily true either. Younger people tend to get pregnant and therefore need maternity leave. They also seem to have a lot more drama in their lives than older women. Younger women have to leave work earlier to pick kids up from daycare by a certain time, and stay home when their kids are sick. Older women are usually past that. Sometimes it's just a matter of salary - younger (and less experienced) is cheaper. A hot flash in the middle of an interview would be unnerving and I would think a little joke wouldn't be a dealbreaker, but you never know. I learned on interviews to not be myself... now if I could only learn to do that more often lol.

Who made you the keeper of these forums??????????????

Not all my comments are negative. It was just my opinion. And since we all live in the great country of the USA, I can post my opinions.

You too... may need to get a life!!!!!!!


Chris


Nobody appointed me anything, just commenting that I've noticed nothing but negative comments from you. BTW, POF forums are not subject to the freedoms afforded to the USA (it's in the rules).

Parkland Chris, why are you posting negative posts on everybody's events threads? That is rude and totally uncalled for. If you don't like an event, or people's remarks, and you're not even signed up for the event, why post nasty comments? I'm not signed up but I'm not being nasty. You know all the negativity will not only not be productive but may ultimately be destructive, i.e., no more events at all.

Roger, it's possible that your legs picture, if it was posted on POF as part of the photos of the last event held at the same venue, may now be considered no longer personal and private and belonging only to you? Just a thought...

Jim, would moving to another country help? I'm just curious for my own sake.

Deb, yes lucky enough I was only out of work a little over a month and got unemployment, the new job is only part-time for three weeks while I train with the person I'm replacing but I'm OK with that, just wish I would've taken a vacation beforehand but it's too hard when you don't know how long you'll need whatever funds you have. So glad to hear your mom's OK and that you could be there for her - you're right, it's good you could be there for her - keep looking and praying and hopefully the right opportunity will appear!

I had to renew mine last year, I got a notice saying to bring all this stuff, birth certificate, proof of residence, etc., got it all together and brought it there, then it turned out they didn't ask for any of it. I also made the appointment online ahead of time and filled out a questionnaire online as well.

Hi all, it's been a while. I got a letter from unemployment, I thought it said it was determined I wasn't getting it. That was very upsetting. It said my last employer didn't fall within my benefits period and therefore wasn't chargeable, and I resigned the previous employer so I assumed I wasn't getting anything. However, when I went to the website it didn't say that. The next day I went to my bank account and the deposits had been made (I just made the deadline for the extra $25 stimulus per week!). I read the letter again and it said according to Florida Statutes, benefits are payable because my discharge was not due to misconduct, so that was a relief!

I've been on several interviews and I'm learning I cannot tell them what my salary has been, nobody wants to pay that much nor do they want to hire someone after they know they made a lot more than what they're offering, so now I'm being very vague about that. They also don't offer as good of benefits and require more hours it seems. They also take their good ol' time getting back to you, or don't get back to you at all.

The good news is I have gone through a long process of application, background check, references, testing AND an interview to be called back for an interview with an attorney on Monday morning, I have another interview on Monday afternoon, and another interview with a firm I already interviewed with but for a different position on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, I should be enjoying my time off, but it's very difficult, especially the first few weeks. One thing I've done that I shouldn't is gone shopping for clothes, which I very rarely do, and have found some really nice things on sale that are hard to pass up!! I tell myself if I act as if that job offer is around the corner, perhaps it will be... so I'm very hopeful it won't be long now. I am just starting to enjoy not having to rush off to work every day but it's almost July 1st and the bills are still comin.

Thanks for all your good wishes and moral support!

Thank you so much Laura. I did apply for unemployment immediately that same night, around midnight, and it's a good thing, because the next day or so I read the FAQ's and the federal supplement of $25 per week ended May 30th, so I just made it. I'm eligible for the maximum, just hoping my last employer doesn't fight it! I've been on a few interviews and I am thinking I should just STOP telling anyone what I made, or what I hope to make, because it seems to be killing my chances.

I am trying to relax but it's hard! I'm confused and anxious and I know, it could be worse.

Hi Jim (oops am I chatting for goodness sakes?) Thank you, but I'm having a hard time on the new job, and not because I'm not intelligent! Won't go into any details here but I'm not surprised, which is why I hate change once I'm comfortable somewhere. Nancy, that's cool you can be a brunette here and blonde somewhere else! I wore a blonde wig once, when I was 16-17, it was a pageboy, back around 1971-72. Seems weird now, I just don't pass for blonde in the physical sense, but yes perhaps sometimes in the other way. How unfair that whole joke thing is anyway, so many really smart blondes!

In my opinion someone who is logical, has common sense, is open-minded, has a great sense of humor and is not arrogant is more attractive than someone who thinks they are superior to others just because they have more education, a high IQ or a position of power.

I am not going to mention any names lest I be accused of anything remotely related to "chatting" but I would like those who have posted before me to keep me apprised of their results and progress related to that which has thus been posted so far.

As for me, I am hanging in there, one day at a time, new job, new day, having to deal with new co-workers, one of who I think may be bi-polar or on a dry drunk because for no reason at all decides to VENT her anger on me even though I haven't done anything to provoke her, in fact, I'm trying to help her, because she's "overwhelmed." Other than that, life is great, and I'm grateful for what I have.

As Gilda Radner used to say, "it's always something" but sometimes those "somethings" are SOOOO unnecessary and uncalled for. It's all I can do to not just walk out which is probably what she'd like to make herself look good, right?

You tell 'em Laura and Diane. I choose the option to not date at all. It relieves me of the necessity of contemplating anybody as an option, therefore, nobody is an option and I can focus better on other things.



OK you HAVE to know me to get my sense of humor, which is usually tongue-in-cheek but very honest too.



There are those who get angry at people like me, being on a dating site of all things, and not dating! Therefore, I guess I'm a ... JERK!

Monosodium Glutamate a/k/a Hydrolyzed Protein
Posted: 3/9/2010 9:44:12 AM


Since companies are not adding MSG directly they don't have to list it on label. If there is no sodium to bond with the free glutamate you essentially get no MSG.

Would you agree there's most always more than enough sodium?

RE-CALL >>> Monosodium Glutamate a/k/a Hydrolyzed Protein
Posted: 3/8/2010 6:25:55 PM
I'll also admit I'm probably addicted to fat. "All Natural" fat as in beef fat (burgers, steaks), chicken fat (roasted or baked or fried), dairy (all kinds of cheese and dairy products), etc. This is "all natural" but only healthy in small doses, right? But at least it's not something ADDED that wasn't there to begin with.

RE-CALL >>> Monosodium Glutamate a/k/a Hydrolyzed Protein
Posted: 3/8/2010 5:33:15 PM
Sure enough, I bought some Progresso "light" vegetable canned soup and was having some for lunch today (thinking it was healthy) while I was reading this, then I read the label and it said "corn protein (hydrolyzed)."

The organic soups I buy from Amy's or Muir Glen usually don't have any of those ingredients that are named to be equivalent with MSG, although I'm not sure. A can of Muir Glen organic chicken soup says "Chicken Flavor (natural flavor, sea salt)." Where does this "natural flavor" come from? It also has "soy protein concentrate." Sounds healthy, doesn't it? And "yeast extract." Then even further down the line it says "natural flavor" again! This is something you pay more for because it's "organic." After reading the labels I trust Amy's more, it has NONE of those words.

It may not be harmful in small doses spread out over many days but some people eat nothing but processed foods and with the reaction that I got from the Tabatchnick soup I won't buy that anymore, as much as I love it. What bothers me is some of them say "MSG free" on the label but then put these hydrolyzed proteins, whether corn, soy, and basically it's the same thing.

Whether it's proven it's harmful or not isn't the issue, I know I have a negative reaction to it and consumers should have control and choice over what they ingest into their bodies, and yes, I drink wine, I have no problem with wine or the sulfites in wine, at least that I'm aware of. Sulfites occur naturally in certain foods and are added to some also as a preservative but normally I don't feel a negative reaction to sulfites. However, many people are highly allergic and they've been banned from salad bars and produce but still many companies use them to preserve the freshness and color.
