  - No, *her* She's not hot and it makes it more difficult for me to see her hotness now - oblique Jul 23, 12:50 4

  - Go with kiwi or cantelope instead. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:50

        good thing. Most of the cookies I've looked at, they're 180 calories for like 2 cookies. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:49 1
        
        I know. very annoying. But a handful of mini-M&Ms is about 100 calories. eating a few at a time makes them last and makes a good dessert. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 12:51
- *breaks out into sweat. panics* -- nm - CookieBoss69 si Jul 23, 12:41

belated congrats to beryllium on the little tyke -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:20
The wife made me a BLT last night for the first time. Usually I make 'em, since she doesn't like the T. - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:14 22
- T ? is that not Tomato? - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:28 20
  - When people say they don't like tomatoes, I can only think they've never tried vine-ripened -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:33 19
    - I think they're kind of icky. Though I can eat them if they're chopped up or fried and green. -- nm - Callisto Jul 23, 12:44
    - i only buy on-the-vine. they're much tastier. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 12:41 1
      - heck even a tomato from Holland grown in cotton is tasty - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:42
    - The taste and texture of raw tomatoes is vile. The only way to make them edible is to beat them into submission. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:39 13
      - agreed. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 12:45 1
        
        nice more tomatoes for the rest of us :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:50
      - I felt similarly when I was a kid, until I had good cherry tomatoes. that was my gateway drug. *pause* we've done this before, haven't we? heh. - b. Jul 23, 12:45 3
        
        Yes, everyone in my family has gone through the same schedule... taste for tomatoes, bleu cheese, mushrooms, olives, etc. - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:52
        
        Yep. I occasionally retry foods because my tastes do change. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:47 1
        
        the texture thing is what I was after there... good cherry/grape tomatoes have a very different texture to the regular kinds. - b. Jul 23, 12:57
      - Your subject made me sad for you. Your IM made me even sadder. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:41 6
        
        Eh. Taste is taste. It's not like I hate something that is objectively good. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:44 1
        
        Dude, you just stated your food tastes as if they were fact. I guess the "IMO"s are implied. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:51
        
        mmm avocado and shimps :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:43 3
        
        I'm just curious: Who grows avocados in Europe? -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:44 2
        
        avocado growers? - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:45 1
        
        I think greenhouses proliferate here all the time, as well. As people demand better produce all year round. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:48
    - Not a fan of the fruit itself, but enjoy the taste in sauces or ketchup. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 23, 12:34
    - or their name is "spawn" -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 12:34
- now I can see her dancing around with a package of bacon singing " single ladies" - Epiphany Jul 23, 12:21

  - ~SELF HIGH FIVE!~ - Orioles DJ Jul 23, 12:17
- what an embarassment. - groiny Jul 23, 12:14 2
  - I would have loved to see someone on the O's clean his clock. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 12:15 1
    - nobody on the Orioles hits -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 12:19
- The culture gets more relaxed, the farther south you go. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:12 1
  - They are like, 100 miles apart. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 12:15
Ok have a resume /appilcation question - eag Jul 23, 12:05 26
- Thanks guys and have another question - eag Jul 23, 12:20 4
  - That was the job you had a year or two ago, IIRC right? Nah, don't even put it. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:23 1
    - YEh a year ago -- nm - eag Jul 23, 12:24
  - yeah, I would skip it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 12:22 1
    - yup -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:39
- For a long term temp assignment, I'd definitely put the company assigned to, and just put "contract basis" or "temp basis" after that -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:11 2
  - i'd put "via (agency name". and i'd hope they didn't have the word 'temp' or 'temporary' in the name. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:12 1
    - That's how I have it. -- nm - lileve Jul 23, 12:12
- Both. -- (link) - mara Jul 23, 12:08 2
  - that's what I did. xx agency, with assignment(s) at... -- nm - b. Jul 23, 12:37 1
    - oh, and that advice came from and/or was reinforced by pro placement folks. -- nm - b. Jul 23, 12:40
- i think we had a long thread about this for kelly a ways back. my vote is the company assigned, not the temp agency. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 12:07 12
  - yes we did - I think it was decided that I should put "company name - temporary assignment through temp agency". -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 12:37 1
    - (the temp agency is technically the employer.) -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 12:37
  - Personally, I don't think it's about the where, it's the what that's more important. - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:09 9
    - but if they want to call for a reference, they really should contact the temp agency -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:10 8
      - If they call your employer, they're looking for verification. That's very different from references. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:34 2
        
        sure, but again, being as the temp agency paid you, that's who should confirm that. if you know what i mean. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:37 1
        
        I don't want to mislead people. I think we're taking the word "reference" to mean two different things?... -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:42
      - Well, I put my manager at Chase as my reference. I never worked with the temp agency people, really. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:12 2
        
        you were there a long time, right? i think a lot depends on that. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:38 1
        
        Well, yes. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:51
      - Thats actually what I was kinda getting at ,like which phn# do I put -- nm - eag Jul 23, 12:12 1
        
        The one who will give you the best reference. :) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:12
- "Ajilon, LLC on contract with JP Morgan Chase" is how I have it on mine. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:06 1
  - this is what I would suggest as well -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 12:08
Yeah, the Pellegrino is great. And it's at Costco up here. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:03
Is the guy from The Glades Dennis Quaid's nephew or something? -- nm - Dano Jul 23, 12:03 3
- not unless Quaid is from Australia. I'm pretty sure the dude is an Aussie. - sycor Jul 23, 12:08
- why do you ask? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 12:08 1
  - He looks a lot like Quaid. -- nm - Dano Jul 23, 12:28
I followed the "better to be happy than right" rule today... - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:01
Quiz: How many of the 1st round draft pick QB's can you guess? - Will Hunting Jul 23, 11:59 4

- I got 31, and a bad case of mindblank. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 12:09
- good gawd. none, probably. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:01 1
  - laser rocket arm. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 12:05
Is it cock - JaxSean Jul 23, 11:58 2
- It'd be an early one. Relatedly: I've stopped going out Friday nights. -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 12:01 1
