Checking in. I think I posted on page 1 also. Dang this new job, I actually have to work at it, and can't browse CF all day. I get paid better, so that's a plus, I guess.

Cleavage, distracted drivers, and acronyms, eh?

Got up early to drive to Fridley to meet a management candidate for an 8am interview. Still not here.

That's not to impressive of a start. If they had your cell # there is no excuse for at least a phone call letting you know they are running late. Problems can happen but not calling on a 1st interview is shoddy IMO.

He emailed at 7:45 to confirm 8. I responded immediately. Then he emailed at 8:25 confirming my email confirming 8. Then I never heard from him again.

At tennis the other night, I was sitting next to my FIL's girlfriend. One of the girls on the court got hurt and her response was, "She'll be fine. She won't know real pain until she gives birth"

I responded to her with, "You women have it so easy. You give birth to a tiny, little baby and sit in a hospital getting all your needs tended to by a nurse for a couple of days."

I could hear the lady sitting on the other side of my FIL gasp and sigh.

Well for Boxster I'll ask, pics of FIL girlfriend?

Yeah, plus walleye sammiches, Green Death beer, and more cleavage.

I'm assuming that's fish? And not those things you stare through to see who's at your door?
No idea what Green Death beer is.
And cleavage annoys the heck out of me. mostly because I have so very little of it.

Moral of the story: I guess I've got some catch-up reading to do.

Yes, the walleye is the king of freshwater fish, and @BoxsterCy loves them in a sandwich. (So do many of us!) Green Death beer is the old Heileman label Special Export, which was about 12-13% alcohol, so provided for some killer hangovers. And I still like you even if you don't have a lot of cleavage.

Green death is Heileman's Special Export. I was going to go with Mickey's wide mouth bottles (the ones that looked like little green kegs) but the issue was decided before I had a chance to chime in.

A couple of days ago Boxster posted pics of yummy looking walleye sandwiches from some pub in the cities.

SCyclone was quicker than me.

I'm not a huge fan of fish. But I'm trying very hard to restrict carbs from my diet, and I need variety in my meals to help.

So I did grill salmon the other night, and really enjoyed cleaning my plate afterwards. I left very little for my dog, and Belle was (predictably) quite upset about that. A spoon of peanut butter calmed her down though.

Maybe I'll have to try walleye?

It will be expensive to buy in the store (probably $8-9/pound), but still cheaper than salmon. And beware of what they call "Alaskan walleye", which is actually a fish called pollock. Real walleye is firm, white, flaky, and very mild. Bon appetit!

I also wanted to report I am now fully 100% in favor of the row of response icons on each post. People who are so incensed that I posted about the new basketball recruits hometown in the recruitment thread that they just had to respond with a :dislke: to it are quite easy to add to my ignore list. I just watch the alerts, click the name, and tap ignore. Boom!
