Trip from Chicago to NY. At the gate a family comes up. Dad, mom and two sons. One of the sons has a disability of some sort (aluminum cuff canes). The sons are about six. After they get to the gate, dad leaves. But not before mom asks him to stick around to help them board.

Two things.

I'm a recruiter. I see hundreds of resumes a week.

This is about the 12th time you've posted this site.

I used to work in the flavor industry. An industry that is more sophisticated than the wine industry since flavors are being concocted from the ground up.

Thanks for the remarks. Unfortunately I've tried a couple of antennas and still can't get stations. I live about 30 miles from Chicago. It's also more the news at the moment (weather warnings) type things that I'm looking for.

Although I don't pirate things, I so wish that ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS would start making deals with Roku (and other streaming companies) to stream (and charge) their products.

Just forwarded to John Boehner and the Republican leadership.

I'm sort of a cooking geek. I don't know that you're going to be happy with using the Kindle Fire HD for recipes. It isn't the fault of the Kindle, it's the way that recipe books are written for the Kindle.

Okay. I've worked in the food ingredient industry for 30+ years. I've been a recruiter for 8.

Salad dressings. Three parts oil to one part vinegar. Then add what you like from there. Some people like more vinegar, some like less. This is simply a starting point. Spice things up with brown mustards, lemon or lime juices, etc.

Here's a way to LEARN how to say no. Volunteer to head a volunteer group. Typically in any organization, 10% of the people do 90% of the work. As the head of the group, if it's pretty active, you are always asking people to pitch in. You also quickly find out that there's never enough people. So at first you'll start…

So who are the "experts" who decide what is to go with what and why is their view sacrosanct? If you like champagne with your Chicago style hot dog, go for it.

I worked in the flavor industry for about 15 years. It is known that as people age they lose their sense of smell, which is why they don't eat as much they can't taste anything. That's true EXCEPT for people in the food industry who make a living by smelling and tasting things.
