I pray those "interviews" go as "smoothly" as "Jiff creamy peanut butter"

I pray you have a wonderful night's rest all warm, safe and cuddled beneath the wings of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!! Cloie

I especially love the cuddled beneath the wings part.

Hello Charlie! Cinnamon probably would not help you but it IS good! I'm not diabetic either but when I first went to the Dr. for panic attacks they said my blood sugar was "borderline". But, my blood pressure was high, cholesterol was high, etc. Since I have gotten better, ALL numbers have come down. It was just odd that it was at the same time a friend told me about the pure cinnamon. My brother and I both get the "heebee jeebee" thing when we don't eat. Neither one of us is diabetic so we've never known why. Thanks for the great tip about pasta, very interesting. Hope things are going great for you!...................Thank you for the kind comments Mrs. T-Bones! Sarcasm is something I just can't get control of, sometimes it just pops out! Hope I didn't offend anyone.

I have to look up cinnamon now if it improved your cholesterol. Last month my bad cholesterol was up along with the trigs, and the good cholesterol was done. Nothing too bad but this is a trifecta I can do without and need to improve. (Hence the weight loss effort.)

You and your brother also get the heebee jeebees too. My doctor said the only way he could actually label me hypoglycemic is if he took a blood test during a heebee jeebee moment. Or, during that moment, take my blood sugar with one of those OTC glucose meters. Since it is not a serious health issue, such a financial appropriation is not currently available in the coffers of Charlie Brown National Bank. Translated: ain't a big deal, ain't got the funds.

You're sarcastic? Love it! I used to be really sarcastic. I was a multi-tasker with sarcasm: I could be insulting or funny

. If sarcasm was an Olympic event, I would win the gold every year

. I've tempered it over the past few years, trying to improve my Christian walk. The funny sarcasm still lingers because my wife and I are always joking around.

Anyway, let me get back to my studies. I'll pop in again later.

Hey Chuck !

Just checkin' up on you ! Congratulations on the interviews on Monday !!!! These interviews are a little too long and dragged out for me LOL You're right about the interview process. Any interview I've ever been on had a decision made right then and there. I walk out of there knowing either way. (unless they have more interviews to do that day - but even then, I knew the following day).

Get plenty of recliner time this weekend !

Thanks for the check-up. I've been studying stuff for the job interview (in the recliner

), spending time with the mrs., and working a little on my project.

Hope all is good with you!

Hi Charlie Brown.....it is late and you are probably trying to rest. I just wanted to wish you luck again, I will be saying a prayer for your interview to go well.

You should do meditation, morning walk and do all the entertaining things which you like this will make you relaxed.Try to attend public meetings and communicate with different people for healthy discussions.After all this definitely you will change.Whenever you feel anxious or scared can take Zanaprin do not need a prescription to take this and it may not have as many side effects.

I finished the interview. I think I did alright. It's funny because one of the questions they asked is how I deal with stress. That's like asking a comedian if he/she knows any good jokes.

I told the truth: prayer, yoga, and take a break from what I am doing.

The managers asked how I felt being autonomous since they are off-site. Truthfully, I love it. A boss can be on the moon and it would be great

. That's one of the reasons why I loved outside business sales. I mentioned this background of outside sales makes me a perfect candidate.

I am probably not going to wait on this job. The salary is incredible, but I don't want to repeat the last sales job scenario where I thought I pretty much had but then got an echo as a reply to vm and phone message. This no-repeat notion is not based on my usual emotional factor. I will keep the (office job) resumes going.

can'tdanceandcan'trelax, Mrs. T Bones, ethenmorsn86,

Thank you for the well-wishes and email.

I use a metaphor. I picture myself standing in the middle of a landmine field full of explosives. Rather than panic or worry, and self destruct, I contemplate which direction to go, what I need to do, and so I ask mself; Self, which is the best way out of my predicament? After settling myself down and relaxing, I realize that there is only one way to survive, and it my responsibility to figure this out.

Good metaphor. I know of a similar landmine metaphor with regards to business.

I am in the same field with landmines. Persons A and Person B are also with me. We are standing side-by-side. Person A goes through the field and unfortunately hits a landmine half-way through. Person B goes through the field a different route and makes it across safely. Whose footsteps would I follow?
