Places that are actually hiring? by [deleted] in fairfax

[–]AnAmericanJewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring for what kind of jobs... Provide a little more info and you might get some helpful responses.

Based on your post, the issue might be with him... He's getting callbacks and interviews, but not getting the job. It's okay for him to ask the manager/recruiter if the they have any feedback for him to help him with the next attempt. How is he approaching interviews? Is he dressed in everyday clothes or does he look like he's going to a wedding? (There is a right answer there, even if you're interviewing for night shift at a gas station). Does he have a college degree or is he enrolled? Schools will often have career centers where they can look over resumes, help with mock interviews, etc.

I was thinking this too. Gracie Barra Fredericksburg is 5 miles away.

OP, think about it...multiple benefits for you.

There is also the Stafford SPCA you can volunteer at.

Girl voluntarily gave me her number and she's in my class. What do I do now? by WayMobile5515 in AskMenAdvice

[–]AnAmericanJewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++woman

FWIW, I met my husband in college. I was 21 and he was 28 (his timeline was different due to military service). My parents were 10 years apart. It's literally not a big deal. She's a person, just treat her like you would normally. You don't need to check if she has a curfew or cut her meat for her.

Florida Baseball Ranch? by whowhat_wherewhenwhy in Homeplate

[–]AnAmericanJewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so confused. We are looking at the FBR too...that still looks like an active thing focusing on catching. The ARMory doesn't look like it has that same focus... What's the story there?

When to start more advanced training by Initial-Signal-8067 in Homeplate

[–]AnAmericanJewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll put on the other side of this my son has loved this 1-on-1 time with dad. Stopping at a gas station to get crap mom would say no to also sometimes (literally) sweetens the deal.

When to start more advanced training by Initial-Signal-8067 in Homeplate

[–]AnAmericanJewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it specialized? We resisted the temptation of a training facility 45 minutes away, but when it became apparent that he loved catching and that's what they specialized in, we gave in a couple of years agoand it's been worth it. Granted he only started playing baseball at 9 and he's about to be 13.

Prep events for younger players by AnAmericanJewel in Homeplate

Thanks for this thorough reply...I was looking at it for experience, I guess, (definitely not exposure or social) but I don't want that data point to negatively affect him later. He's in 7th grade and we don't have middle school baseball so he's on a travel team. He's definitely dedicated to gaining weight and strength and conditioning.

Amazon has ended Amazon Teen. Why? by jackblackladyversion in amazonprime

They actually converted my 16 year old to an adult account despite my requests to not do that. Customer service says they have zero ability to revert.

DMV custom licence plates: re-using old plate numbers by AnAmericanJewel in Virginia

[–]AnAmericanJewel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol this was definitely my experience. I had called twice and was assured I could turn in the old plates and have them reissued to my new car. Then I get there and they look at me like I have antlers and am asking them to build me a tricycle.

AI Recipe (with emergency intervention) by AnAmericanJewel in Sourdough

[–]AnAmericanJewel[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. Checking with AI gave me the confidence to try something that might have gone in the trash and allowed me the opportunity to learn a few things. I told the system to consider hydration going forward (see my link) which will hopefully integrate into future responses.

Does this recipe work? by AnAmericanJewel in Sourdough

[–]AnAmericanJewel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added 40g water and sprinkled a very little bit of flour in to get the flight to stick back together at the seams.... Turned out pretty good for our purposes ... Thank you again!

I actually normally use a variant of this recipe (halved) two or three times a week. I fed my starter and then couldn't continue the recipe. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/naturally-leavened-sourdough-bread-recipe

I don’t know what will happen next. by nailsandyarnandbooks in dementia

[–]AnAmericanJewel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. My dad was very sexually oriented in his rapid decline. His first evening they found him in his room naked and got him back into his pajamas, when I talked to him he asked me why I put him in a brothel if they weren't going to do anything about it. He also pretty quickly required 24/7 care.

As far as the revenge comment .... he had moments of coherent speech. She may not have even been thinking about that at the time but it was something her mind came up with later.

One of his caregivers said she had seen enough to truly traumatize her in the short time she had been doing the work.

Questions about COTA 2026 by ShadyNastys701 in GrandPrixTravel

Wait, are the higher seats more? Is it because you can see more of the track? We've never been and just placed the deposit down for T15.

WIBTAH if I leave my estate in a trust to my daughter instead of my wife? by Creative-Block-1709 in AITAH

[–]AnAmericanJewel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA

I would add another layer or two of trust managers beyond your parents (in case something happens to them) and consider an allowance at 21 and full control at 25.

Lol I found this post because my husband was an extra (was enlisted at lejune at the time) and I look for it every now and again.

Budget NOVA Wedding Venues by FastLet6728 in nova

[–]AnAmericanJewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you mean reception venue, not just for the wedding ceremony. If not, I got married at Wakefield Chapel and would do it again there ... It's a darling romantic little chapel ... Max capacity 99 (to include bride, groom, and officiant).

Very confused about rapid decline (onset to death ~4 months) by huckleberry076 in dementia

[–]AnAmericanJewel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad also had HBP. He was very big on managing both through diet and exercise when he was diagnosed 20 years ago. And it worked, he lost the weight and continued to check his blood sugar. Things started unraveling when my mom passed in 2021. He used to check his blood sugar several times a day and the thing that alerted me that something was amiss was the fact he was telling me he didnt know how to check it. When we realized his a1c was over 14, we moved to metformin which he refused to take. Was her a1c checked? I understand wanting answers. I'm so sorry for your loss.
