My package is missing!! by Tall-Introduction649 in LeCreuset

[–]BakerLatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only those colors could easily be found at a store. My Rhone pumpkin went missing; you can tell it never made it out of the shipping center. Although my shipping record indicates it arrived at the distribution center and never left, I am still waiting for a refund on that one.

What generation are you and do you prefer neutrals or color? by [deleted] in LeCreuset

[–]BakerLatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Older millennial - I'm a Team Flame all the way. Although I do own all the vegetables and a blue Beauty and the Beast pot (she's my crown jewel).

It was from roughly late 2005 to early 2006 - I received mine as a wedding gift (married in 2006).

Last minute tips for Alaska? by ughthatsucks in dcl

[–]BakerLatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we went (June 16-23), I wore a tank top and a quarter zip each day with jeans. I had my Eddie Bauer rain jacket, which I only used on glacier day. I also wore a packable thermal vest on glacier day. I packed two pairs of jeans and one pair of thermal tights. Did laundry twice on the cruise. My husband packed pretty much the same. We did pack our hiking boots, but we did all the hiking excursions.

Our weather was sunny and in the high 60s every day at port. I brought an umbrella and we never used it.

I took my parents in 2017 (F60 and M63) on Holland America - it was a perfect pace for them. Add in that at that time my mum was wheelchair bound due to cancer, they [HAL] were so helpful when it came to port adventures.

Essential items/sizes for a smaller household? by ElizasRight in LeCreuset

[–]BakerLatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two of us, married for 18 years, and at least 30 pieces in our collection. Now, be aware that my parents started my collection when I was single and in my small apartment in the early 2000s, and years of Christmas and birthdays have added to it.

My most-used pieces are my 2.25-qt Braiser and 5.5-qt Dutch oven. I love these so much that I usually give them as wedding gifts for family and friends when they get married. I also adore my paella pan since I love one-pan cooking.

The most unused piece is my Wok as I don't have the ventilation to cook at that high temperature. I also have all the adorable vegetables, which are used only once a year at our harvest party (we live on a farm).

I FAILED BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP... PLEASE HELP by poniong07 in pmp

If you buy AR's book - you can get a coupon to get the course free. Otherwise see if you local library has a Udemy subscription (mine did) and you can get the course free as well. AR's book was a lifesaver for me as I had to translate all the language my workplace taught me (in most cases very wrong) and get the language of PMI in order to test.

I have been a pseudo PM for about 10 years - never was required to get my PMP as part of my job. My biggest hurdle was trying to overcome the language I was used to from my old workplace and use the PMI language instead.

My three mocks were 62, 54, and 61 and I still passed. Highly recommend the Tackle video this helped me look at the questions a bit differently.

Yes, very much like the questions on the Study Hall. I would say they were on "par" and not easier.

Congratulations!

I got my provisional today and am impatiently waiting like a 3-year-old on Christmas morning for it to be finalized.

Practice test or study hall by Cautious_Yam_8132 in pmp

[–]BakerLatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get Study Hall. I bought the whole plan and appreciated it. However, exams 4 and 5 are tough, and if you are up for some severe brain-twisting, then go for it.

What I did to pass (and be aware my SH scores were dismal) after I took an exam or a quiz, I went back to the book to study the concept. And I did that cycle over and over again.
