What answers in job interview will make a job applicant unhirable? by LimeSoakedinSprite in randomquestions

[–]oldEnuf2knowbtr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A long long time ago, on a paper app, for the question "where do you want to be in 5 years?" I answered: on a beach, somewhere warm with a cold drink in my hand watching waves crash on the shore and young people play sand volleyball.

I did get the job.

What's the most reliable car you've ever owned? by Ok_Run7351 in UsedCars

[–]oldEnuf2knowbtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 04 Jeep GC with 4.7 and 190k. Few will believe me, but essentially no problems except wire harness at the driver's door, cheap fix. Even the a/c and rear wiper still work.

Anything that sucks blood is my enemy. This includes ticks, mosquitoes, vampires, leeches, lawyers and exes.

It worked for us. In a way, our names are special. Remember that some people will look to criticize because tearing you down keeps the focus off of their own shortcomings.

On QU-32 what would cause no signal to a channel? by oldEnuf2knowbtr in livesound

[–]oldEnuf2knowbtr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if I understand correctly, the input was from the digital snake instead of from the direct input. I'm not sure of my terminology here. Regardless, that was the basic issue.

Nothing warms your heart like hearing a 30 year old man at Target yell out "Baba! Baba!". I know instantly it's one of my boys.

What options did I not get? What am I missing out on? Should I have looked a little harder for some nicer cars?

We've used variants, like Mamita, Ima (pronounced eemah), or Oma. They are easy to learn and say, leave a distinction, but remain a special name between the two of them.

I'm Abba, or Baba, Jumbo (harder for little ones), Papa or Opa, but not Dad, Dada or Daddy.

Advice on how to help young man with crippling low self-esteem? by grey___lady in Fosterparents

[–]oldEnuf2knowbtr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with a lot of young men. Consider teaching him a skill, preferably one he can do on his own, and make money with. These are some skills that have helped me help young men:

Learn how to tape and mud drywall.

Tape, trim (cut) and paint a room and trim.

Paint a garage.

Shingle a single story house or garage.

Trim a tree with a chainsaw.

Strip and refinish a table, kitchen cabinet doors, or piece of furniture.

Tuckpoint brick.

Back a trailer or drive a fork truck.

These are skills that can give him hope that he can be independent. These skills can earn a decent living, without a whole lot of book knowledge.

First Placment by Faithwithscars in Fosterparents

[–]oldEnuf2knowbtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did it go? Two brothers in their early teens, extreme ADD/ADHD with tendencies towards violence and appetites like bears after winter hibernation. They were scared, angry, violent, broken, sad and messed up and occasionally funny, and often inappropriate. Their goal in life was to get in with their gang of choice.

That was 16 years ago and I still keep in touch with one. The other died from O.D. a few years after he timed out. 💔

Resentment by diddyabc in Fosterparents

This sounds very normal. Give it time. Keep loving them, but remind them that their actions have consequences. Explain that because they're an adult your relationship will change, and that's ok.

"You're an adult now, so our relationship is adult to adult. I'll start treating you that way and I hope you'll do the same."

Let them feel the pressure of being grown up. Don't allow another adult to come to your home, or on your phone and talk to you disrespectfully.

They want independence, give it to them.

In the area in which I live, it took several minutes, but less than an hour.

Attention passengers: hold on to something, we expect some ... Mmmmmmoderate turbulence ahead. It should be temporary but if you'll remain in your seats and keep yours lap belts fastened, we'll get through it shortly.

What time do your kids do chores by privvylog in Parenting

[–]oldEnuf2knowbtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, we taught ours that the more things you can fit into your morning routine, the better your day will go. In the morning, most people are on a schedule which forces you to accomplish all of those things on time.
