  1. How about instead of "more than confident" you say , "I am extremely confident"

    It shoud be, "I am a team-oriented person

    My resume highlights my expertise ...etc

    Instead of "the ability to help your company succed", it should read

    the opportunity

  2. Thank God my co-workers were VERY sweet nurturing people.

    My daughter wasn't a crier anyhow, but my co-workers loved her and held her and played with her.

    Guess I was just lucky to work with such nice people.

  3. I was lucky to be able to bring my daughter to work 2 days a week (I could have brought her everyday if I had wanted to)....until she got too mobile.

    I brought her playgym, bouncy seat etc and she just hung out with me.

    I worked for a very family friendly social service agency, and my boss was a great guy.

    When she got really mobile it no longer worked, but it helped me SO much when i went back to work to be able to have her with me a couple of days. My heart was breaking to leave her.

    Now, thankfully, my husband got a better job, so I'm home with her.

    It was hard, but thank God, I had great support.

  4. Congrats!

    My husband got his 10 year greencard last month

    He almost threw away the envelope because he thought it was a credit card offer!!! :o

    Nice to be done with it all for a while isn't it!!

    Congrats :star:

  5. The cultural norm these days is for women to be in the workforce,eriod, ESPECIALLY women without children.

    I'm sure by "weird" Steven just meant that you don't see a stay at home wife much anymore.

    I barely even know any stay at home Moms, let alone stay home wives.....reminds me of "I Love Lucy" Lol

    I'm a stay home Mom right now and it's kind of lonely....all my friends are at work

  6. I'm a California refugee....left So.Cal (born and raised) 13 years ago for Oregon, and would NEVER go back.

    Sometimes I miss the weather, but that's about it.

    Sooo much prettier and greener and AFFORDABLE here. Way less superficial and "keeping up with the Jones'"

    I like having seasons too.

  7. My Dad is a German immigrant and I have always STRONGLY identified with that part of my heritage.

    Probably because he made sure to take us to Germany several times, tells us hundreds of stories about growing up there and shares the cultural traditions of his country with every holiday.

    I hope our daughter can feel proud of BOTH of her cultures (although, I agree, they are far more similar than my experience with European/American cultures....speaking firsthand)

  8. Just out of curiosity, has anyone had invasive pre-natal testing in this thread? Amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling? I'm just nosy cause that's what I used to do for a living. :lol:

    Mags, I had an amnio (because of my age).....it wasn't bad at all...the waiting for the results was the WORST

  9. Steven,

    I wouldn't scrimp on a crib either.

    here have been ALOT of crib recalls, best to go with new........

    We have a Britax Roundabout car seat and I love it. My MIL got it for us.

  10. Why are (MOST) Northern Germans such snobs?

    My Dad is Bavarian and not a hillbilly in any way shape or form.

    My husband's best friend's wife is from Bremen and she is the MOST tedious snobby P.I.T.A.

    I'll take the beauth of Bavaria ANY day.......
