Slowtech I'm glad to hear your mom was ok but sad to hear about your friend, that must have been just awful, I can only imagine!
Good luck Jaime at your interview
Maybe if you want some though ,although I didn't get that impression from your post . you could ask in another thread ?
If you don't hear from there in a week or so, try calling them. Ask them when they are going to start hiring seasonal, when you call, ask to talk to the LOD, if ask to talk to HR or mention you applied, the operator will sometimes give you a line about "we have no openings at this time" or "you application is being reviewed", ect..
You'll get called for an interview, then probably sent for drug testing, then when that comes back clean, it's orientation.
Even if they hire you as "seasonal", like I was, if you have half-a-brain, which you do, they will keep you on after the holiday season. As for perks, I'm sure you already know about the TM Discount, insurance sucks ass, and you don't qualify for it till after 6 month, so don't do it for that. It literally pays $200, then you have to pay a $4000 ($8000 w/ kids) deductible, which everything, even prescriptions are subjected to, before it will pay anything else. It's really not worth it!
Target is also big about cross-training people. So, if you are hired on as Cashier, they will probably train you for other areas too after awhile, if you want them to. The more you know...the better you can Q
Don't forget, if you get hired before the end of Sept, check out the "Red" magazine in the break room. It's got some awesome Qs in it this month!
Good Luck!
He said her spinal test looked great and there's no further testing or anything needed for that - thank goodness! Her kidney ultrasound still shows dilation, so they are sending her to a pediatric urologist (Oct. 5th - ugh... hate that wait), and they are scheduling her for a test. I think it's called a VCUG. Basically, they will put a catheter in her and fill her bladder with a liquid that has a dye in it. Then they take x-rays while she pees and check to see if the dye all comes out like it should or flows back up toward the kidneys.
From what I'm reading on the net, it then depends on what is causing the flow. It seems that most of the time they expect the kids to grow out of it in time, and occasionally there's an abnormality that needs correction via surgery. Of course, I'm hoping for the "grow out of it" part.
So far, it's been a fairly uneventful day. The car has a flat tire, so I don't know if I'll get out to shop at all.
Not much else going on, I guess!
Speaking of uti I kinda feel like I'm getting one I know to drink lots of fluid, cranberry juice etc, but didn't someone mention white grape juice?
Thismom4deals thanks for your reply in tccd, I can view but can't post while on my cell. I actually work full time from home, but I only usually take a ten minute break so, I don't have time to prepare meals etc. I think I am going to plan my meals out better this weekend, so hopefully next week will go smoother.

I think I had a blocked duct or something. My right side was super super painful to nurse Mavis on - like wincing, want to cry/scream pain - and had some hard spots. Anyway, I've been switching up her nursing position and stuff, and last night she latched on, I felt this even worse pain, then she made this grimacing face and detached herself. She did that a couple of times, then made like she was choking and getting too much. I hand expressed a little bit, then she reattached and a couple minutes later I realized that I didn't have the pain suddenly!! So yay! No more pain now.
But, if it weren't for long-term damage from squeezing out my large babies I would soooo have another!
Enjoy her!
Haven't had a chance to catch up on all posts. From what I have read so far:
Ank...Yeah on Ms. Mavis!! I hope her Kidney test comes back normal. While you are playing the waiting game, we shall keep you great compay.
Chili person..seems like you got some good recipes. Sorry I forgot who requested it.
Jilly..Don't let people on SD bug you. Now come out to play or we shall hunt you down and thrash you about!
Dreeme...I got BTFE for you! And in the spirit of 'championship', I shall share with Jilly provided she comes out and we don't have to waste our shopping energies on thrashing her about.
Dreeme...Good luck with the job!!
My washing machine broke this morning, the printer broke this morning...it is so not a good morning!
RA noobs are being boobs!
I need coffee, but alas, Target run for this morning..done..DH did a wonderful job. Got me 4 towels, towel rack, some scents, I think they are the frebreeze ones, can't remember what the q's were. Anyway he spent .70 cents. So I guess all is not lost. But the day is still young.
Celery with a little smear of peanut butter
Celery with cream cheese, for extra zing a little sprinkle of season salt
Salad Lunches are filling -- bed of lettuce topped with XX Salad
Chicken salad, tuna salad, crab salad.... use mayo and diced celery for crunch. Slivered almonds are good in the chicken. Pack the lettuce and salad separately.
Add a cup of broth for something hot -- Instead of the bouillon cubes I buy Soup Base. It's a little more expensive but I don't think it is in the long run -- it goes further. I think the flavor is better and it doesn't have that weird taste that bouillon often does. In this brand it comes in chicken, beef, and ham.
Ok, so I am 24 hours into the fast and I have to say I am not starving. Didn't even wake up hungry. Yesterday afternoon and around supper time I was eyeing the food but resisted. I didn't get down to the weight bench yesterday.
First daughter was sleeping, then when she got up her title was ready and we ran back to town -- she just bought a Miata and the title wasn't right so the seller had to get a new one, it came, we picked it up, went to court house. By then hubby home, fixing supper, that done and I just completely forgot. It just didn't cross my mind to do.
Daughter worked all night so once again she is sleeping -- so it's wait til late afternoon to use the weight bench again but today I will NOT forget. I am talking the dog for at least a mile walk today and I am going to do a little yard work plus some laundry.
I know I wasn't supposed to it but I got on the scale. Some of it could be fluid weight -- but I have been drinking -- anyway I was down a little over 4 lbs. We'll see if it sticks.
Chili Recipe
A couple pounds of ground beef, browned and drained
2 or 3 cans of chili beans in chili gravy (I think that's what they say)
1 or 2 cans of diced tomatoes
1can of diced tomatoes with chilis (Rotel)
Put it in the oven @ 250 or the crock pot for a few hours.
For a recipe with No Beans, I can't help. I buy Hormel Chili with No Beans and it's good. (I don't even like chili, it's the only kind I will eat -- think chili dog or chili cheese fries)
How about Ham and Beans? Want a recipe for that? I save the bone and scraps when we have a good spiral or bone in ham.
A bag of Northern Bean or Butter Beans which ever you prefer
A ham bone - the more fat and meat attached the better
If you have left over ham and want to chop some up in it, that's even better.
Teaspoon or so of black pepper.
Put that in a medium size roaster and fill nearly full with hot water. Put the lid on it and stick it in the oven at 350. After a couple hours check to make sure it isn't sticking, give it a stir and you can turn it down to 300 for another hour or two. Or longer. The crock pot will work fine also. I prefer the oven.
I apreciate all the kind posts. I guess I just realize that if you remove junk and sugar from my diet I get too sensitive, lol.
I am definitely a Christmas person... I luv to spoil everyone in my family... it's alot of fun, I guess!!
