    I’m going to get out this morning and do one last mowing to pick up the last bit of leaves on the lawn. My youngest daughter is coming home for a visit today so don’t know that I’ll get anything done vape related.
    Enjoy your visit :)

    Or know anyone in the local State NASW?

    I have my master's and i have been doing this for 23 years. I have plenty of certifications including a spotless work record (although I have had to take some time off here and there) but I have never been cited for anything.

    I don't know anyone in the state NASW. I'm not sure it would be more worthwhile than just unionizing honestly. I am not sure I have a great deal of faith in WV medicine from what I have heard.

    Hmmmm....how do I vape that tho?

    I think with a bottom feeder.

    Plans stay home rest, let my wakeup stomach ache subside and like yoga. I'm not leaving the house other than to take the dog out which I did. I slept okay.

    I am going to get some work done on a project and also try to get a hike in (weather permitting). I have no vape related goals today.

    How bout you?
    I need to work on my idea for another recipe. I plan to mix 2 new ones.

    I don't think I even knew there was a huckleberry flavor. I like huckleberry. Hopefully it turns out good for you.
    This one I’m pretty sure of :)

    I use Huckleberry fairly often. It’s an FW flavor.

    Well, given what you are going through and your mentioning going into private practice, might I suggest - if you haven't already - check out these sites and information below before deciding anything. As I am sure you know a degree/s and 23 years experience is positive position to have, but it does have its limitations. Most employeer as do States regulatory boards require documentation to verify your credentalials (not just say your a counselor/therapist/phycologist) and allow you to work out side of a professional organization. Just wanting to hang out a "shingle" and opening up a private practice, especially in mental health - is not that simple (and in some places totally illegal with high fines & arrest/jail time). And- Talk about the cost of insurance needed - when and if someone might sue - very prohibative to say the least. Really hope this information is helpful . . .

    West Virginia Board of Social Work > Home
    (BTW: Even BSW can become LSW . . . :shock: )

    National Association of Social Workers (NASW)

    Also, I am sure if you attend or reach out to the local State NASW group there would be some networking available to point you in the right direction, assist you in negotiating the current situation, or help find a better position if NEEDED. BTW: NASW has very specific "rules" concerning SW duties/responsibilities during COVID-19

    Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I've never used anything from FW. I might have to check it out.

    BTW, that Cheesecake base 1 I mixed is close to a full month steeping. And the Rhubard Custard and Strawberry Biscotto mixes are almost at a month too. I am very much looking forward to trying them.

    I also mixed that really simple 2 flavor Acai Pudding mix about a week ago. I'll probably want to wait for it to steep a bit longer too, but not sure if a full month is needed.

    Regarding the cheesecake base, when adding the fruit flavor to the base, should I wait another week or so for everything to mix together well?

    My company is huge on COVID prevention. They even take anonymous notifications of mask noncompliance. We can be fired for not wearing a mask. A large newspaper published incorrectly that our company was near the top of the list for COVID infections. Our legal team went into action to make them correct the falsehood, as we were really one of the lowest on the list. But the damage was done.

    I think the VA that Anna works for wants to prevent a headline that reads, “VA Covid Outbreak in WV Spreads With Hundreds Hospitalized and Many Veterans Dead”. Bad PR.

    I hope this works out for you Anna. You are working for a great place with mega benefits. Bosses come and go and things will settle. I say hang in there and think long haul and great retirement. Institutionalized places like yours and mine have a lot of rules, but it pays off to stick with it. I’ve never had a perfect job. I have most certainly never had a perfect boss. I had one of the worst for ten years and he hated me. They finally made him leave. Horrible ten years I’ll never get back but I made it and he didn’t!

    Couple weeks is good on the pudding. On the cheesecake at the fully steeped stage I just add fruit and give it a good shake.
