Cleo_II 06/11/20 12:46:16 PM #419	parabola_master posted... I have not terraformed at all. I think I need to start with moving all the villagers houses somewhat close together, but I do want them to have yards In the beginning, I made a village but put everyone together with no yards. I just wanted to grab recipes easily. Then I saw other islands and was like fuck, I wish I gave them yards. Moving one house at a time was a nightmare, because you cant just move one house a few spaces over. It will give you an error that theres a house in your way. Like fucking yes there is, I want to move it mofo. I ended up having to move all my houses out the village one at a time, then place them back one at a time. Freaking nightmare.

Topic	anyone else feeling 0 motivation with working out + doing work in job?
Cleo_II 06/11/20 11:48:48 AM #4	Yes. Ive had very little motivation. Which is odd because Ive been killing it at work somehow and have been getting kudos. But I feel like Im doing so little

Cleo_II 06/11/20 11:45:26 AM #414	I hated how I had my villagers stacked together. I had to move everything around and ended up TT otherwise it would have taken me weeks. What a pain. Happy with my little Egyptian neighborhood though (me, Ankha and Lucky)
Topic	What's your biggest regret in life?
Cleo_II 06/11/20 9:27:56 AM #22	I didnt get to say goodbye before my uncle passed away. He was like a dad to me. He had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. A few weeks ago, my cousin messaged us one night to say he had a few days left if we wanted to see him. Very next day, we were supposed to be there at noon, but my husband got pulled into a big meeting at 1 and we pushed it to 2:30. To be fair my cousin said days so we thought it would be ok. My biggest regret is that I should have gone without him. Around 1pm my mom texting me that we needed to come asap, so I told my husband to cancel his meeting and we hurried over. But he passed before we could make it in time. My mom opened the door for us and shook her head, and my uncle was gone. Found him in his favorite chair. If we got there at noon as planned, I would have at least been able to say goodbye and its been haunting me.
Topic	How do preferences work when applying for jobs? Will they actually call them?
Cleo_II 06/11/20 9:20:11 AM #6	Ive only given references when were going to the offer stage. And then I give them a heads up to expect a call.

Topic	Honestly wish I were single some days
Cleo_II 06/08/20 9:57:09 AM #7	Have you talked to her about how you feel?
Topic	Guys with cooking experience, I need your wisdom in explaining this.
Cleo_II 06/08/20 1:46:02 AM #42	I prefer butter over oil for mushrooms. They are little sponges as mentioned. Butter fries them better and tastes better than oil. And as someone else posted, dont over stir. When theyre looking nice and ready, I love to deglaze the pan with some white wine, cook it down and stir in some cream and parmesan for a quick mushroom sauce.

Topic	Maybe the states should bring the military in to replace the police
Cleo_II 06/05/20 3:45:25 PM #17	thronedfire2 posted... interesting, I would have thought it was the other way around. guess PTSD could be a problem? Not PTSD. From what he says, they dont train you to de-escalate things. They train you to kill. It can be a reflex to just kill a person coming at you vs trying to calm them down. Often times bad cops have military backgrounds.

Cleo_II 06/05/20 3:12:40 PM #11	jeffhardyb0yz posted... Lol replacing trained killers with even more trained killers This. My husband is ex-Army and he always says military are trained to kill and typically make bad cops. He himself opted not to go the police route because he was worried he wouldnt have the temper or patience for it.
Topic	Be honest. Are you related to a Karen?
Cleo_II 06/05/20 1:09:14 PM #20	spudger posted... couldnt imagine being that miserable and angry my whole life. glad you guys all got away from it. Yup, its a constant state of mind for him. Perpetual victimhood. He almost didnt come to my wedding because he wrote some wacky book no one wanted to read about religion and his crazy conspiracies. And I actually did read it to try and have him feel some support. Then he asked me for feedback and I tried giving him constructive criticism (he kept bugging me to). Bad idea on my part. He went nuts and stopped talking to me for a couple of months and almost didnt show up. I was so terrible for saying anything at all that could be criticism. I was ok with it. My brother was going to walk me down the aisle. Then my brother convinced him to come, literally the day before. Only I had to pay for his ticket. He spent my wedding day promoting his book to all my guests. His wedding gift to us was an already opened bottle of whiskey he said he didnt like. I kept trying to keep a relationship for years after that. But then I realized it was a lost cause eventually. Lost_All_Senses posted... Damn :/. My dad was more of the silent treatment type. When my sisters would get pregnant, he'd just act like they didn't exist anymore. I don't know which is worse. I guess the silent treatment would be easier to repair cause it doesn't leave you with specific tense moments to bring up and get angry at. Dads really be dropping the ball. Moms can too, but it's definitely disproportionate. My dad would yell and make a scene and then stop talking to us until we begged his forgiveness and took all the blame. Havent talked to him since November because Im not doing that anymore. Its just not worth it.
Topic	Be honest. Are you related to a Karen?
Cleo_II 06/05/20 12:37:50 PM #15	spudger posted... damn, he sounds miserable. Yup. Part of the reason his business bankrupted was because he would yell at customers and treat them like shit. There is a reason my siblings and I no longer talk to him.
Topic	Be honest. Are you related to a Karen?
Cleo_II 06/05/20 12:31:28 PM #12	My dad is the biggest Karen. Growing up with him was embarrassing. He chewed out every single person in the service industry over the most minor of things. Ill never forget how he made us all leave a Pizza Hut while dramatically yelling at staff because it was taking too long for our food to come out. Or when he yelled at a cashier and accused her of racism because she told him he had too much stuff in his cart for the express lane. After his company tanked years ago, he tried to take sales and cs jobs and he couldnt hold them because he cant help but lecture every customer over shit, or accuse people of racism constantly.
Topic	What is the BEST state you have lived in, CE?
Cleo_II 06/05/20 11:51:03 AM #28	CA Beaches, mountains, great restaurants, fantastic weather most of the time. I personally make enough money to live very comfortably. I can live somewhere that costs less but then I give up one or more of the other things.

Topic	Telling an interviewer I got fired - do I have to tell the truth?
Cleo_II 06/04/20 12:07:15 PM #11	Lol I do other peoples job every single day. Sometimes Im doing 3-4 different functions at a time. If you bring that up in an interview, dont expect to be called back. Theres no reason to ever share you were fired in an interview. Generally when they do a reference check with previous employers, its just to verify if you were employed within the dates you gave them.

Cleo_II 06/03/20 10:40:35 AM #31	If you are good at sales you should try a real insurance company or even recruiting. My brother works at an insurance company and worked his way up to a manager role so he makes like $150k now. I have cousins in recruiting who make 200-300k. No need to spend a bunch of money on certs
Topic	Honestly these other countries protesting have way more racism than America
Cleo_II 06/03/20 8:56:41 AM #29	BathroomWater posted... Its kind of odd that people are attempting to evaluate the relative racism of entire nations based on their vacation trips to them ITT, lol. It isnt just based on my trips. Ive heard several Europeans call black people the n word and literally throw up nazi signs. I went to school with many Europeans. They will act normal around folk and then talk shit behind their backs. I dont think that means theres no problem in America or that it should be ignored. It just makes me roll my eyes when other countries are pointing at America and going omg look how messed up they are when they have similar issues and ignore them.
Topic	Honestly these other countries protesting have way more racism than America
Cleo_II 06/03/20 8:36:10 AM #15	Ive been to Spain and in Madrid they treated my husband like complete garbage. My husband is Mexican and dark skinned. If I went to a store alone, they were polite. But if my husband was with me then they were extremely rude and unhelpful. It got better when we left that city at least. Madrid isnt as diverse as others.
Topic	watching the looting , it's all afro Americans,
Cleo_II 06/03/20 8:31:06 AM #34	Ive noticed that on Fox News, they focus only on rioting and mainly show scenes of black people looting. Where on CNN they talk more about the peaceful protests and show rioting from white people also. Republicans who only watch Fox News will get a very biased picture of things.
Topic	Honestly these other countries protesting have way more racism than America
Cleo_II 06/03/20 8:26:06 AM #10	Racism isnt just an American problem. As terrible as it is, I admire that Americans can speak up about things and fight for change. Canada has a big racism problem but were a passive people so no one really speaks up. In Europe, they have huge problems with fans abusing their black soccer players. Making monkey noises at them and throwing bananas. And nothing is done about it at all. If it happened in American football, it wouldnt be tolerated. And yes, Italians, French and Spaniards are some of the most racist people I have ever met. Ive met several and they made their distaste of brown and black people very clear. One Italian guy I met in a club asked me my ethnicity and when I told him it was middle eastern, he acted super sad and said it was like a flower growing out of a pot of dirt.

Cleo_II 06/03/20 12:12:27 AM #35	People like to tell us what we should be doing with our bodies for whatever reason. Especially when it comes to children. Its the most annoying shit. I want them but cant have them, and Im bombarded with questions from people all the time. Sometimes by complete strangers. My husband rarely ever gets asked anything. What goes on with our uterus is really no ones business

My friend says going to McDonald's and ordering a cheeseburger, small fries and a medium coke(he says DIS is hella important) cures his hangover in minutes lol Damn. Id DoorDash some but not enough time since I have some calls I need to do right before. Hopefully this leftover burrito will help some ZeroX91 posted... Not sure that drinking before giving a presentation is a good idea but if youre going to just get a minibottle of fireball and a pack of big red they smell identical and sometimes having something to chew distracts you. I usually just take a shot to calm nerves because I hate public speaking. I had a presentation yesterday and had a shot before and it was fine. But then we celebrated my husbands birthday and here we are... I once had to deliver a talk on stage to 1,000 people. No way was I doing that sober lol CreepySmile posted... if you really are desperate, you could just make yourself puke a few times but water and fizzy drinks should help I havent puked in almost 30 years. I dont even know if my body remembers how. So I get to deal with nausea all day instead
Topic	I'm hungover and need to run a presentation in 2 hours
Cleo_II 06/02/20 3:25:03 PM #10	CreepySmile posted... Anything fizzy so you burp it out Seriously and water. Like a few liters. Also proud of you for taking a page of out my playbook of how to give a presentation Im normally tipsy when giving presentations, not hungover. I always take a shot before. But then it was my husbands birthday so I kept taking more shots fml Alteres posted... Honestly a Bloody Mary without the alcohol is about the best. Worst comes to worst take a shot beforehand by about 20 min (normally one or two, but you're pretty small) Probably will take another shot today though the idea makes me so queasy ZeroX91 posted... Greasy ass street food, locate actual mexican food or phillys hmm I do have leftovers from this local Mexican place MabusIncarnate posted... Usually my hangover sure is an energy drink, one of those Naked or Bolthouse Farms fruit smoothies, and a big meal. It sucks eating a lot when hungover but it kicks your body into metabolizing all the other vitamins and nutrients and absorbs a lot of the remaining alcohol. It solves the headache for me like 90% of the time. No energy drinks but I do have frozen fruit for a smoothie. Might try that thanks
