thought you'd be interested in these two posts...

oh yikers!!!! I meant to tell you last night that my insect bites look like that picture you posted if a yellow fly bites me. They are small and fast, and they leave that little bloody bite mark you mentioned. Also known as Deer Fly [wikipedia.org]

My last bit of help that I need.

My babies will need some protecting from the elements (bugs, fungus and general ickies), I want an organic pesticide/fungicide. Any thoughts?

My kids are graduating from Pre-K in 2 weeks..I need dress ideas for their ceremony..Do I put a little suit on DS?

meeshe, house update hon?



the advice i have always followed and was always given:

1. list all the jobs chronologically. you never know what catches the eye of an employer/interviewer. For example, I was a Darkroom Monitor in college. It's way at the bottom of my resume, clustered with other such jobs, in single lines each. I have gotten admiring comments on it every single time, with people asking me about photo chemicals etc. It also establishes a long work history/a clear work ethic. Give the most relevant to current profession jobs more space, bigger description. the other ones, make em just one line each with a bullet point for each so it is clean.

2. for the jobs that are most relevant to what you are currently interviewing for/applying for, don't make it a general description about the job. people in the field will already know what the job is about. instead list your achievements - what made you noteworthy in that job. so for example, "restructured payroll processing systems to reduce paycheck errors by 95% and reduce processing time by 75%" would be what you'd want to say rather than "supervise payroll department and work on reducing errors, processing time"
one makes you say, wait this guy/gal is dynamic and i want to talk to them to see what they can bring to my team, or at the very least, how did he do that? i want to find out! the other one is like ahh, ok, he has some payroll experience. you want to stand out.

3. always include some hobbies/interests at the bottom, but don't just list them. so for example, if you're interested in ultimate frisbee, you wouldn't say interests, ultimate frisbee. you'd say, captain, greater nashville ultimate frisbee team, or member, greater nashville ultimate frisbee team 1989-2011. or if someone's interested in flying, instead of saying interests: flying, you'd say private pilot certification, 1999. because at the end of the day, interviewers are people and they connect to you as people. it makes a big difference - breaks the ice, gets people interested in similar things looking to talk to you etc.

4. also at the resume bottom, list other skills: foreign languages, specialty software, any software programming skills, excel macros, valuation, anything like that. specific skills that can be acquired, but not everyone has.

and finally, if you've traveled a lot, and it may be relevant to the job at hand, list the countries where you've been.


hope that helps and much luck to your DH!

p.s. yes, one page only, please. it shows ability to prioritize info and to communicate succinctly and effectively. plus no one wants to read an encyclopedia. a quick glance is what they'll give the resume. the meaty info (not names, job titles etc, but actual skills and achievements) should make an immediate impact in order to stand out from the applicant pile. and piles are what they get these days.

Target question for you all - does it take a full 24 hrs for your credit transaction to be pulled up for a return, or is it just next business day? I got some of the razors last night, but apparently got the wrong ones, didn't get a gift card, so I want to return them and get the right ones. Dont know where the receipt went, and I want to use my card to pull up the transaction. Anyone?

Thanks!!!

Anybody watching EC. I am flipping back and forth with the BB game.

This woman on there now is a real piece o' work!

Need some ideas...

Child going off to college...what are the essential that he needs that he might not know that he needs?
The things that you don't think about until you are there and you say, oh I wish I had this or that?

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated

Quote from flugette : Stuff I sent with my sister to college: - permanent markers - highlighters - pencils - white-out - shampoo - conditioner - deodorant - razors - shave gel - perfume - shower gel - towels - washcloths - sheets - comforter - tubs to store stuff - personal mirror - 3M hooks to hang pictures, etc. - single-serving snacks (pop-tarts, etc.) - instant oatmeal packets (for those mornings they sleep through breakfast) - instant coffee That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Quote from aggiemommy04 : A few other items I can remember needing/using during my college years: Laundry basket Hamper Rolls of quarters....for laundry not for anything else Hangers Any sort of closet organizers/shelves Storage cart for toiletries Towels Shower caddy Shoe rack Alarm clock Lamp HTH!

Quote from bunnies46 : I've have been stockpiling single serve snacks. Pop-Tarts, peanut butter crackers, granola bars, peanuts. I know some of it will be junk food, but I am trying for more nutritional foods.

Anyone here a Walmart expert? I was wondering if you can buy a non-walmart gift card using a wm gift card.

Anyone had experience with this in a toddler and the best way to treat it? Gonna do the cream, and start dosing her with yogurt, but not sure beyond that.

Yep, especially for little girls and if they've taken antibiotics. We just finished dealing with one here...my little girl (also 2) had taken antibiotics about two weeks ago, the day after she finished her medicine we noticed she was starting to get red in her diaper area. I had some Nystatin cream from the last time she was on antibiotics and developed a rash so I used that for the next two days, but it didn't seem to get any better or worse. On the third day she came home from daycare and she was bright red and bumpy. She seemed to have some discomfort, especially when we would change her diaper, but she wasn't itching like crazy or super uncomfortable from what we could tell, but it looked bad. I called the Dr. and they prescribed Vusion....it was expensive (to us at least, we're not used to having to pay $50 for a prescription ) but the nurse said it's supposed to be the best/fastest at getting rid of infections and boy was she right! We used it and the infection/redness/irritation was gone in a day! You can also use the cornstarch baby powder along with the ointments to help keep the area dry. HTH and good luck!

ETA: I also wanted to say sorry to hear about the catheter experience...my sister had to have that done with my niece because she would get UTIs and she said it was the worst experience ever.

The doc prescribed nystatin, so I'm hoping that clears it up. Gotta pick that up tonight. Reading online, seems like its fairly common. ONly thing is, she hasn't been on antibiotics.

It really was very unpleasant. Hope I never have to do that again. Gives me even more motivation to get her potty-trained this summer...
