  - already sent, the interview was in May, I got a note from then - tRuMaN Jul 1, 07:51 7
    - (my 2 cents) - Strongbad Jul 1, 07:54 6
      - this is why I like to talk about sort of personal in an interview. I can later find an article and send it saying "hey I recall we had this similar - amanda Jul 1, 07:58 2
        
        This works well. Knowing someone on the inside works too. - Strongbad Jul 1, 08:00

      - i didnt follow up once, they followed up with me. - tRuMaN Jul 1, 07:55 2

        That's going too far. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 08:31
        
        i havent tried to dunk an oreo in so long. i guess soy/almond/coconut "milk" could be attempted. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 1, 08:21
