| Topic | A baby kept on a "vegan" diet died, Parents arrested |
| Cleo_II 11/26/19 11:17:47 AM #40 | My friend has 4 kids and her whole family is vegan. I dont agree with forcing your diet on children, but I will say her kids are perfectly healthy and at a good weight. She stays home and is pretty much in the kitchen 90% of her day though, fixing up meals for everyone. Its a lot of work. Sounds like these parents went beyond just vegan diet and didnt feed their kids enough or just skipped any kind of plant protein whatsoever. |

| Topic | Who do you look like the most? |
| Cleo_II 11/19/19 10:59:06 AM #3 | Im always told that Im the splitting image of my mother. Especially by older relatives who call me little *moms first name*. Whenever I meet distant relatives or friends of my mom for the first time, there is always a small freak out about how its like theyre looking right at her. Only thing I didnt get of hers are her emerald green eyes. Sigh |
| Topic | do you find it easy to make friends? |
| Cleo_II 11/19/19 10:43:14 AM #22 | I think I do ok. I dont really make friends other than at the workplace. And at every job I end up making a few friends easily. |

| Topic | My job search is officially over |
| Cleo_II 11/15/19 10:03:34 AM #1 | After interviewing and receiving 3 offers (and nearly a fourth but I ended the process early once I made my decision), I chose to go back to my former company. The one I initially left a few months back. Some might remember I was pissed at how they promoted someone ahead of me and gave him some of my stuff to justify it. That manager who pulled the strings has left and others were very upset with him over other things he had done. He was known to promote people based on favoritism. He promoted two others in the time I left (who didnt deserve it) and it caused major dissent on the team. Theres now new management and weve had some chats about what happened and she said they had made a big mistake in losing me. Theyre also implementing measures to prevent promotions based on subjective things and created a new leveling guide. They even had an offsite where they acknowledged that there had been some favoritism and what they were going to do to address things. So I feel confident in going back. I will be taking up the same position as before. They didnt want to give me a promotion given everyone else is wanting one right now and it would send the wrong message to the rest. That they would need to leave and come back to get what they want basically. That said, Im coming back making about $20k more than I did when I left 6 months ago. They were gracious enough to match my other offers on the table. What I did learn through all this is my value. Every company I interviewed with made me an offer. When I put in my notice with the current company last month, they fought tooth and nail to keep me and I had only been with them 4 months. Its certainly a boost to my self esteem but also a kick in the butt to keep going and not get too complacent as I feel I have been in recent months. Im ready to go back and kick some butt! |
| Topic | Women are struggling to find men who make as much money as dey do |
| Cleo_II 11/15/19 9:37:04 AM #53 | garan posted... Too bad for those women. If they've got good careers & are making money, then they shouldn't need to find some well off guy to support them.Right, those women are gold diggers for wanting men with stable jobs and no crazy debt. How terrible. I have a career and make good money, I dont need a man to support me but I need one to contribute his fair share. Seems like some men want to be the gold diggers now and women arent buying it. |
| Topic | I got put in the friend zone last night in the weirdest way possible |
| Cleo_II 11/14/19 9:20:06 PM #8 | Sounds like she has terrible self esteem and you dodged a bullet. |

| Cleo_II 11/05/19 6:11:21 PM #11 | Eat More Beef posted... Laval? Ahhhhh, gross.Yeah Laval is gross, I agree lol. Sadly thats where most of my friends and family live. Only my sister and one of my friends live in Montreal. CyricZ posted... Ah Newark. I'd smell it anywhere.I hate Newark airport so much. I vowed never to have another layover here but my husband bought my tickets and forgot my hatred of it electricbugs2 posted... That's because you're practically American at this point lol. My cousin's in a similar boat, he actually grew up playing hockey mind you, but now he lives in San Antonio and cares way more about Texas A&M football then anything hockey related.Ive always disliked hockey though. Even when I went out to hockey nights with friends at the bar, I never cared. Never cared about habs either I do dislike going back though. I try to visit once a year or so, for my siblings, nieces and my friends. But I feel less and less desire to do so. I always tell myself it will be the last time and then I miss them and find myself going ugh.

If someone spilled that on me I'll be beyond pissed.Luckily it was just warm. It had been sitting there a few minutes before she spilled it on me Eat More Beef posted... What're you gonna be doing in my city besides visiting fam?Honestly no major plans. Visiting my friends. I was born and raised in Montreal for about 25 years before I left so I know my way around. I know my sister was talking about some light festival. Most of my family and friends are in Laval actually |

| Topic | what lazy habits do you have when it comes to cooking? |
| Cleo_II 11/03/19 6:21:47 PM #30 | These are all giving me anxiety. I guess my biggest thing is I sometimes toss my nice kitchen knives in the dishwasher instead of hand washing them. But Ive had them 10 years and theyre still going strong. |

| Cleo_II 10/28/19 2:58:30 PM #21 | CyricZ posted... Like the company you just left, or the old old company? Did the new offer not work out? :-/ The old old one lol. I was happy there. There is a new VP thats addressing my frustrations with the politics that made me leave. My former boss who promoted people based on favoritism also left. I turned down the offer I got a few weeks ago. They didnt want to give me more than 3 days to decide and it was a contract role. Too many risks there imo. I had another interview with a startup last week but I didnt really like the interviewers I met. I get the feeling they are arrogant and they expect you to work your life away for their company [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Yes! Today was a cold morning. They havent sat like this on me in a while. But its cold now and they want cuddles. |
