Wow, I can't imagine one pie being that popular in demand. Must have been a very good recipe.
My wife's sister used to make home-made pies and sell them (they were really good) She got tired of doing them (too much work) but every customer insisted she keep making them and offered more money. She made them for awhile but finally gave up (too time consuming and the electric bill went up from running the oven so much) Her cream pies were very popular.

Just mixed two SFTs... TFA Banana nut bread and CAP Cinnamon danish swirl (they need to steep before I try them)
Tried lemon with my cheesecake (hey that "pocket steep" really helped) It's nice but still like berry the most.
My French toast has steeped (RF... liked it before and forgot I had it... looking forward to that this week-end)

Some pies are really really good.

The house is okay I think. I have no freaking clue. I sort of am in the mood to start digging my next house, out back, with a shovel, in the ground. It's like complicated in a way I refuse to think about. It's overpriced so it's like is the owner gonna understand that.

Also, I should be put right after a GOOD night of sleep. I am rather tired but not able to start taking my sleep meds yet.

The house is not bad. Would be a reasonable place to uh, have a home office. If necessary.

You kinda work really hard to not make that much but I could make the husband do billing. He is good at it. Plus, no one bosses you.

I am finding out this is the time frame most fairly talented folks have to start their own practice because they get so tired of incompetence and ....-kissing being promoted (I swear to god I am often at work LONG after the head of social work) and the associated BS, they either switch fields or deal with the associated credentialing and well, other stuff.

IDK. I will say this, I'd rather have this confrontation FAIRLY EARLY now and then people know if and when they can tread on my toes. I am ready to back down for no one. I don't care about you, how long you have been there, you CAN NOT DO TO ME WHAT YOU DID TODAY it is evil. I will point out that patient care should come first in EVERYONE's MIND and if the "head group" did not care enough to find out WHICH GROUP OF PATIENTS was exposed, which was DOCUMENTED well, they don't care at all. I will call them ALL OUT.

NOTHING I said was unreasonable although it could have been more tactful but I am just going to note I get tactless when my brain is deprived of rest as documented by my doctor's letter (new doc) which was speedy and good.

But on to happier things! I still like WV.
The amount the SW group violates its own policies let alone the DV thing should be enough to get a bunch of them fired. Note: "Should be."

    Anna,

    I think they are just testing you. How much and and how far can they push you and do you have the canines to stand up for yourself. You just keep on pushing back or they will keep on testing you until they can get you to break. They need you a lot more than you need them. Good, or even so-so, psychologists are hard to come by, and they know you could make it on your own. That would leave them to choose between either the undesirables or nobody, and neither is an acceptable choice for them.

    Hang in there. This too shall pass.:nun:

    My ex-wife use to have a coworker that would make cakes and sell them. She made some of the best cakes I ever ate. She had one cake she called the "Better than Sex" cake. She gave me the recipe for it and it's 2 pages long. It's very labor intensive, you even need a candy thermometer to make the icing.

    I have not, which is sad when you consider I have had the recipe for about 25 years. I always wonder.... did she really give me the true recipe? Back in Miami, old Spanish ladies hold onto their cherished recipes like family heirlooms... It may be time for me to try it out.

    It was. Of course I grew up in a fairly small town in Ohio. His restaurant was packed most nights too. Hard to believe I was doing the cooking. It was all home style food.

    I am winding down a bit.

    The house thing is good and bad the owners want more than it's worth. This is good for us, bad for them but they do also have to sell so hopefully. It is perfect. Pics after I move in.

    I have decided to do this over the weekend about my work and at my work on Monday at the supervisory team.

    There is nothing like some good comfort food.

    I had to call in sick today. The only responsible thing to do. I went back to sleep. I do feel weird. Hot and cold flashes, lung pain and sore throat. It could be (the place I work at) keeps the heat at 80 degrees. Top that with wearing a mask. I'm thinking this is more mask induced than anything else. Dehydration from dryness and breathing your own breath for hours is not ideal. Hopefully, its not covid. I don't trust the tests 100% though. I suppose I'll see the results soon-ish.
    Get lots of rest. I hope you feel better soon!

    No, I don't have one. I was waiting to see if I won one first but didn't. I kept thinking I could hold out and not buy one but it just looks too cool.
    You’ll like it, truuuust me ;)
    I ordered my second one from ecigmafia. They seem to generally have the lowest price. I’ve been tossing emails, but sales are already starting

    OK. I wouldn't want to see you banned for life.
    And since I don't take offense easily, why not just PM me what you wanted to say, just out of curiosity.
