My husband uses that to mean "huge grin" and I haven't had the heart to tell him I read it as "grimacing and bracing for bad news."
On an iPhone, it will show on the Compass app if you let it know your location.
I feel you on all of this. Both of my parents are cancer survivors and yet there is still no will or advance directive! I got progress in the form of them agreeing to write one when my husband lost both of his parents in a short period of time and I took a family dinner as an occasion to explain how much money, time and pain his parents had saved their children by having wills and trusts and begging them to save me and my sibling from having to probate anything. But since then, no progress I know of, despite another hospitalization, so another chat at Father's Day is in order. I may have to just call a family friend who's a lawyer and either book a consult with him or someone he recommends so I can force their hand.
Thanks for this--loving it. Had not realized Gabourey Sidibe was over 30 though--she has such a youthful face I thought she was still early 20s and had to Wiki her because I was prepared to protest.
And I totally agree with @Smoomin that 30 is crazy young to everyone except children.
ETA: Author of the original negative piece appears to be about 26 (based on starting her AA in 2008, per LinkedIn), so maybe she's just feeling conflicted about being in the second half of her 20s and will get it all sorted out soon. Too bad she has to work out the conflict by being shaming of everyone else's choices though.
Yes, this can work. Our boy cat started off very bold but turned into a scaredy cat as he aged. After the older cat we had before him passed, we knew a new cat would be tough for him, but necessary to keep him active. Our tiny kitten absolutely terrorized him from the start (even after weeks of slowly introducing as others have described), but we have progressed to mutual grooming and snuggling, though it usually ends with the kitten nipping him and him crying and running away. I wish we had gone with a one year old cat instead of a kitten because I think her lack of chill is really hard on him, but as she's mellowing and he's adjusting it's getting better.
It's called being a super! We have a live-in super and she's awesome. You can have a super in owned or rented, though if owned, anything big is going to have to go to the board.
I did an "executive course" where basically we did all the book work on our own, and just had to do the quizzes on site, between doing all the pool dives in one very long day. It was grueling (esp. as we are not strong swimmers so the swim and treading water parts were challenging) and I recommend 2 days for pool dives. I think nowadays most people doing PADI do the online program so there's not much classroom time anymore. We did our checkout dives in the Caribbean and I highly recommend that versus a quarry if the money is available, plus then you're in a great place for the rest of the week to keep diving and meet other divers. We're over 250 dives in now, so I highly recommend it!
Just curious how graduate degrees that involve management (like you MSW and also thinking of MBAs) give practical experience, if at all. You're the most junior person in the room when you intern, and managing your peers is very different from managing down (or up), so is there some other way of getting a chance to try out the management theory?
Of course, in naming the fields above, I thought about including MDs and JDs and PhDs in at least the lab sciences, all of whom are expected to go on to lead teams of various kinds, often from right out of school, and I'm not aware of any management training whatsoever in those fields either.
Anyone doing HealthMonth for January? I've talked my husband into doing it with me but I'd love more folks to keep me honest/share support. Have the same name there.
Which quilting box are you getting?
