RE: They’ll get you in the end

I'm thinking you're gonna love your work phone and next you'll be one of us who gets one for personal use and can no longer post music vids and pics on CS

One day this site might move into the 21st century, not holding my breath though

RE: a kind of magic

Toothpaste takes chewing gum out of peanut butter?? I'm so confused

RE: They’ll get you in the end

Molly

The thing is Harb, your usage will be capped and monitored so willpower doesn't really come into it, just commonsense

Yes, they will be watching you

RE: They’ll get you in the end

Yeah I'm not sure Molly, are we talking CB radios and Rubber Duckies here

All I know is that my role involves driving to various locations, entering people's homes, sometimes working in the office and sometimes from home

And we MUST be contactable all day, by phone and email

RE: They’ll get you in the end

Harbal although it may be mandatory for work use, on the flip side it will be expected that you will turn it off outside of work hours

Nothing to worry about really

RE: They’ll get you in the end

Molly this may be for security purposes, tracking drivers' locations plus mileage claims etc

RE: They’ll get you in the end

But they're so useful!

I no longer have a pc or laptop (although I use my work lappy at home sometimes), I do absolutely everything on my smartphone. . emails, netbanking etc

And my job involves lots of driving, I couldn't survive without Google maps telling me where to go

PS. I never take my personal phone out with me on days off

RE: The new job

Enjoy!

Learn as much as you can as quickly as you can, ask your manager lots of questions and builld your confidence

And when it comes to sales, the process is Greet. Qualify. Present.Close.

And don't give up on the first attempt at closing, three times is acceptable

Good luck!

RE: Beauty - or, those who cannot do, teach.

Get advice from a hair salon, products like coconut oil and shea butter are probably way too heavy for your fine hair

My hair is very fine and always has been; as we grow older it will undoubtedly get drier too so we need to use products to suit plus get regular trims to keep it looking good

RE: Switchel

I know right

Kombucha has been around for a couple of years here, maybe Trump needs to make America catch up with the ROTW lol

RE: A riddle

Childbirth.

RE: Bye bye

I remember you ..

Some time back you appeared when Palmfrond/whatever multiple names she has called herself since was about talking you

Time to move forward and take care of yourself, the hurt will heal eventually

RE: Blogging couples...

The No Response blog is a classic example

The usual suspects jump on and do what they think is clever banter amongst themselves, completely ignoring the topic and overriding other posters.

I just think it's plain rude.

RE: Drama, What Drama?

If you didn't take this place seriously you wouldn't have bothered posting this blog ...

RE: hey, hey, we're down to two Monkees...

Like the Beatles that they were manufactured to imitate, they attempted to escape from the boyband image..

The Beatles got the opportunity to display their musicianship, the Monkees didn't

It wasn't what their fans wanted sadly

RE: BerrySmoothie........

It's obvious that Berry's account was hacked

Wakey wakey

RE: Walmart

Plastic bags have gradually been withdrawn from supermarkets here since mid-last year.

I've been using reusable cloth bags for years as have many others, it's not a big deal.

RE: Giving up

As far as online dating, very liberating

I quickly tired of guys who were everything behind a keyboard but had little to say in reality.

RE: Life and Love

Hello Rainbow

When I looked at your profile, the first thing that struck me was the big beautiful smile on your face ..

Despite the adversities you have faced in life, it seems to me that you have loads of positivity but maybe right now it's hard to keep your spirits up - you're going through a difficult time and that beautiful smile is a little hard to achieve

I wonder whether you have access to disability services in your area and support workers who may assist and encourage you to return to the activities that put that smile on your face ..

And then maybe, in time, you will get your positivity back, feel good about life once again (I know you can ) and you will chance upon the guy who is just right for you

In the meantime though, you might be introduced to new hobbies, experiences and adventures that will make life so much more enjoyable, I hope so

All the best to you, stay strong, it will get better

RE: Profile photo

Obviously I missed the 'joke'.

Your diatribe went over my head too, try sticking with the blog topic next time

RE: Profile photo

And people wonder why new posters are driven away.....

RE: Profile photo

Sorry Mimi, I know Asians eat 'the whole cow' which many Westerners find confronting, but as a vegetarian, that turned my stomach

RE: Profile photo

Yuck, why are there animal remains all over this thread

OP, I used to think the same as you but as others have pointed out, pics mean nothing. ..


They can be fake or years old plus many people on these sites are in a relationship already or employed in an industry where they would prefer not to reveal their identity

Cudos to you for being genuine and looking for same

RE: 9-11-2001/9-11-2012

Wow, some responses on this blog have to go down as the most disgraceful behaviour I've seen on this site and I've seen some


Seriously, think about taking a break if you're going to get so obnoxious eh

RE: She loves long moonlit walks along the ocean...

Bear I'd settle for someone mowing the lawn and cleaning the bathroom

RE: Not what it seems, or is it ?

We've had instances of this here also

Dad drives to work and 'forgets' he was meant to drop baby off at the creche on the way so baby gets left in the car for hours on end and ends up dead, these people should be jailed for life
Most men have no clue about caring for a child, only today I saw a male pushing a shopping cart with a tiny child trailing who then wandered off in a different direction

He had no idea until I took her little hand and went 'Is this your little one?'

There's no way I would have entrusted my children's care to a male.

RE: Can't You Live Without Makeup?

I've used makeup all my life, I like to look my best when I go out in public

Not sure if it's a modern thing, but I'm surprised how many women go to work without bothering to wear makeup

It's all part of good grooming for me.

RE: A meeting with Giant Aloe Vera Plants, their Components and Health Benefits.

Sorry, I meant to add, do rinse him off with clear water at the end of his bath

RE: dating

Harbal her concerns about you sneaking through the night off your creaky sofa bed are valid surely
