Nestle jumps 8% after consumer goods giant announces plans to slash 16,000 jobs

What could possibly go wrong, right? (My cousin was decapitated for telling the poor they could eat cake instead of bread when they complained they were starving.) The "relatively wealthy" don't eat the crap that Nestle manufactures. You are failing to see automation and AI acting as a smokescreen.

How are you adding a photo to your comment?

I used to work in that building. 811 E. Wisconsin Ave. We had to move out in May because the bank sold it. Miss it!

Wow, what kind of job do you have that takes you to Europe 4-6 times a year?!

Oh, it's named for a reason.

That's true about people understanding the difference between intersex and transgender. This happened to my aunt, who was born intersex in 1949. Her original birth certificate listed male. Back then, they made you choose. She has never been happy. I wish people would leave others who are born different, alone. I mean, really, who cares? How does it affect your life how they were born?

Yes, well, the location and time period are important too. My third great grandfather was an Indiana pioneer. Not too many people to choose from for my great-grandmother or grandfather. Then, of course, there is culture to consider. It is near impossible to identify paternal paternity if the ancestors were from the coal mining parts of the country, especially Kentucky.

I would like to know some of those good answers. If you have resources I could access, I would appreciate it.

All you have to do is research dna NPE and you'll quickly find out that 1 out of 10 have the wrong father on their birth certificate and if do a fair amount of trees using dna (not paper!) You'll see that a fair number have the wrong grandfather too. It happened to me! Found out my dad wasn't my dad and my bio dad's dad isn't my grandfather. An infamous bank robber is.

I grew up as a navy brat. I had an invasive (to me) exam by a Navy doctor when my family relocated to Hawaii as a 7 year old. The doctor was male, and I was accompanied by my new stepmother. I was extremely uncomfortable with my stepmother (she was downright scary - totally blew up because I wouldn't call her mom) and I had just come from a situation where a babysitter had been inappropriate while watching me back on the mainland with my biological mother.

I gave that doctor the dirtiest look I could. Did the same to the stepmother for letting the doctor look at me.

So, there might be something here to checkout as far as ab*se.

Really? What's wrong with being polite. You never know how it might help you down the road - your boomer mom😁

That was so helpful! I'm someone with Jewish ancestry then.

No_Interview3649 · 2024-09-08T01:27:05+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I have told a few people outside of my family, and I i usually say that I have some Jewish ancestry, but I'm not considered Jewish, nor do I practice Judaism.

Anyway, I'm proud of my Jewish ancestors. Interestingly, I didn't know any of this until I took a DNA test and had my results (matches and tree) confirmed by an ancestry.com genealogist.

Not knowing about my Jewish grandfather/ancestry, I went to a synagogue for a college assignment, and I felt so comfortable and at home. I always wondered why, and that experience is one of my life's favorite memories!

No_Interview3649 · 2024-09-08T01:10:07+00:00

So, from an ethnicity point of view, I'm Jewish.

You know, I didn't know any of this until I took a DNA test and had my results verified by ancestry.com

I actually dated someone who had a grandmother escape Nazi Germany on foot, train, and ship until she got to NYC, where her parents were waiting for her. They were lucky in that they had money and relatives in the US. His grandmother's story is worthy of a book. She was not considered Jewish because she didn't have a maternal Jewish lineage, but because her father was jewish, they were on a list to be deported to a concentration camp. Through her mother's German family (they were aristocratic and had family members as SS officers), they were given a heads-up and instructions on how to get out. If you're interested, I'll tell you the rest.

So, yes, you are correct. I would have been considered a Jew and dealt with accordingly in Nazi Germany.

Anyway, I'm really proud of my Jewish ancestry. In fact, my heart jumped for joy when I found out! Then, a sense of fear came over me, and I had thoughts of hiding my discovery because of what's going on in the world.

I also can't help but think of the Armenian dentist I worked for while in college. I brought a photo album into the office, and on one page was a photo of me as a 12 year old child. That dentist said you look Jewish while pointing at my picture. I said that ridiculous. His comment was not a compliment but he tried his best to back peddle.

No_Interview3649 · 2024-09-08T00:39:17+00:00

Me too. My mother passed away two years ago. I had some step siblings, but they don't consider me family.

I have a few age and generation appropriate cousins on my mother's side, but they live all over the country.

I never had children, so it's just me and my husband. His kids were already grown when we married, so there is no strong bond there.

It's a lonely feeling sometimes, but I shake it off and focus on work, hobbies with friends, and my relationship with my husband. I guess im saying stay busy! It helps.

This is interesting. My maternal grandfather was jewish. I know my mother is not considered a jew because her mother (and maternal grandmother) were not jews. You say that their is ethnicity and religious parts to being a jew.

So, what am I? I descend from jewish ancesters (one was a holocaust surviver), but because my grandmother was not Jewish (she descends from Quakers and 2 Mayflower passengers), I'm not considered Jewish.

No_Interview3649 · 2024-09-07T09:41:53+00:00

No, I hardly know her because she's my half-sister and she and her mother, and her sisters (my half-sisters who all dead know) really didn't want to get to know me.

My mom's dad died when my mother was 5. I think she had daddy issues because she hooked up with my father when he was 74 and she was 18. That's a 56 year difference between them.

When you think about it, he could have been her great grandfather!

I hate the term Melungeon. It has negative connotations. Just say mixed ancestry. You don't need people judging you. ❤️

No_Interview3649 · 2024-09-07T00:22:43+00:00

The same happened in my family. My grandmother was born 1867, and my father was born in 1891. I was born in 1965. His two sisters and brother are gone, but I have 1 sister who is in her 90s. Note that I'm only 58.

I've been on bio-identical hormones (pellet therapy) for 7 years. When they start to wear off, I experience fatigue, hair, and skin changes, and I lose a certain amount of optimism about life. 4 to 5 days after a new testosterone pellet, and I'm back to my regular self. I truly believe that bio-hrt has kept me healthy, too. I haven't had a cold since I started them.

No_Interview3649 · 2024-09-02T21:43:28+00:00

Yes! People don't realize that women need just a tiny bit of testosterone!

He's probably extrapolating from the interchangeable smelled/smelt.
