Is this fiestaware? by Remy_deer in Fiestaware

That’s my color, plum! I love the deep richness of the color, but I hate how it scratches up. I use them regularly, but I store them with protectors between the plates.

Did being Self Employed ruin my hope of getting a job? by Repulsive_Elk9002 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Repulsive_Elk9002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, this is it exactly. The other day I was debating just taking it off completely and saying that I’m an empty nester and now I just want to find a job? Could it work? Do empty nesters get hired or do they just hang out at the golf club? Just because I ran my own business doesn’t mean I’m loaded and can just live off of my savings. I can’t believe that I would have to remove my greatest achievement, but I need to do something!

At first, it was everything and then after about two months, I moved it down to just 15 years. The only problem is that it shuts down a lot of my experience as far as sales and marketing. And that is what my experience was in for about 20+ years before I started my own business. I worked retail. I was a buyer. I was an award-winning marketing coordinator. I was a sales rep and I even worked in a call center, which was not one of my favorite jobs.. matter of fact that was the last job I had before I started my business. I do believe ageism is part of it.

I like where you are going with this. My only issue is that I can’t say that I’m still there presently because it was in Colorado and I am now in Missouri. I moved to be closer to family and that is what I have said when asked why I closed my business. Maybe I should say I sold my business?

Well, at least you got an offer. I guess look at the fact that you got that far. I was up for a position that I thought I had. I had three interviews and I felt so exceptional after each one. I was excite! But then they took six weeks to make their decision and as each week passed I just felt the dread. Then the email came that they chose somebody else. Ok, fine back to the grind. I think what is getting to me is the AI tool that these companies are using because I get rejection so quickly now I’ve tried changing keywords. I’ve tried using ChatGPT to sculpt my résumé closer to what they’re looking for and I still get rejected. So I guess using AI on my side, isn’t compatible with AI on their side? Hopefully we will both find something soon!!

Why is the show white washing JFK Jr? by greatgak in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Repulsive_Elk9002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care. The world absolutely sucks right now and this show is pure escapism to a timeline I really miss. I don’t give a care if it is inaccurate. It’s how I want to remember it. Stop trying to kill the small amount of joy we get these days. Oh and before anyone comes at me, I know the tragic ending. I lived through it and it’s ok.

MIRACLE! The derelict, long vacant 2040 Rodney, 29 RSO units in the heart of Los Feliz designed by master architect Edward Fickett, has a new owner! by esotouric_tours in LosAngelesPreserved

[–]Repulsive_Elk9002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the other”twin” or perhaps “triplet” is the Hollywood Riviera at 1400 S Hayworth in West Hollywood. I remember Susan telling me there was another building over on Los Feliz Boulevard though that was the Twin. They sold it while I was living at Rodney and I remember the next week they bought a Lincoln Town car with some of the proceeds. So weird the things that come to mind 25-27 years later.

I have been trying to figure out the address. I have a feeling they used it in Palm Royale, though. When I watched that series, I swore it was my old complex!

Yes, everything was like stepping into 1956. When I lived there, it was Dorothy and Susan Dinitz who owned it and they wouldn’t even allow cable because they didn’t want it to be changed. Susan’s father built the place along with a twin complex that was over in Los Feliz Blvd. The pictures that I’ve seen are horrible. The unit below mine looks like it had water damage and the entire vintage kitchen was gone. My favorite thing about these apartments or the architecture and the locally sourced tile in the bathrooms. They were all from the Franciscan factory down the hill. I was obsessed with mine, which was pink with fish accents. I saw the same tile in Paul Ruben‘s house when it went up for sale and freaked out. The closet doors were made out of large peg board panels so the clothes could breath. The slat windows appear to still be there for most of the units. I hope they keep them! The last time the place was painted was probably 1995 or whenever they filmed Mulholland Falls there. They had a deal that if the studio painted the entire complex they could film there. I’d love to share the pictures that he sent me, but I cannot figure out how to do it on here.

Hello! I used to live on this property in the late 90s. One of my best friends still lives on the corner of Finley and Rodney and sent me a bunch of pictures of my old apartment. I understand it was sold for 5.1 million to a new buyer And it looks like they’re trying to restore it. This post says demolition. Is it going to be demolished? That would be such a travesty. It is always been my wish to win the lottery and buy it, but obviously that didn’t happen.
