Jughead....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
On my last trip to the supermarket I was perusing at the checkout line...candy, hyped up headlines and Archie, Oh My!....
Can it be...are there still people reading Archie, Veronica, Betty....and...of course Jughead!
I eyed the glossy cover and reminded myself of the Saturdays when the new editions hit the magazines in shops we called "candy stores"...what a great day when my mom would say..."go ahead get it"....I would race home read the perils at Riverside High School and promptly run next door to my best friend...and...exchange for a copy of another adventure of the three..
So, who is keeping this genre alive? My goodness... by now...Veronica must be a grandma.....Betty must have had some plastic fix up...Archie must be retired....and...what about Jughead?....is he the CEO of Comedy Central??
The moral of the story..
Learn from your past....add to your present....it's all in the future....
And, whatever you do...don't make the same mistake twice!
I just may pick up a copy of Archie, etc on my next grocery stop....it's like comfort food for the soul!

Life and a Toll House Cookie...

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
What's the secret about The "Original" Toll House Cookie?? I think it's the "semi-sweet" morsels that build flavor around the brown sugar and walnuts....while the walnuts are "optional"....and... can be substituted for other accoutrements....The one ingredient that remains a "must have" are those chocolate bits...
So, here's the deal....there are some things you can mess with...and...some you can't....I think there's something to be said about the "balance" the semi-sweet morsels create in this well known and long favored cookie..
When you strike the right recipe for "success"....add....mix...but, don't beat it to death....you won't be able to distinguish the flavors....
It's just the way the cookie crumbles!

Never Forget....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Everyone has a story and we shall never forget...9/11...11 years ago today...
It started out like any other day...it was the day after my son's 12th birthday...I was working for a large financial services company in NJ and I was supposed to go into NYC that day....last minute, my meeting was changed from Tuesday to Thursday....I had been busy the night before...homework help...laundry...the usual things for a working mom and wife...I forgot to tell my husband I wouldn't be going into the City the next day...it was no big deal...
The morning arrived...and...as we all know it....our lives changed forever....I wasn't walking across the bridge that connected the Towers to the WFC....but, my husband didn't know that....he was in Upper Manhattan teaching his class....and...then IT happened....we watched from the Trading room...the second plane circled and crashed...you could hear a pin drop in the usually noisy Trading room....
There's nothing more to say....it became silent around the world...
Never forget....how could we forget?
Be silent for a moment and remember..

It's Up to You....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
The jobs report comes out today and EY is sitting on the edge of her seat waiting for some good news!
The only way we can "rebuild" is one step at a time...it's not the "job" of one person to make this happen..
We all have to make it happen...houses are not piggy banks...it was proven that this action caused us to "pay the piper"....the employed need to realize no job is "perfect".....you have to create your own perfection....that's why we call it "work"....
One of my friends posted the following on Facebook:
"What would you do if you woke up today with only the things you thanked G-d for yesterday"....
Your dear EY gave this some serious thought...and...I came up with this:
"I would be thankful for yesterday....grateful for today...and....hopeful for tomorrow"....
This post is dedicated to CCP...a wise and wonderful woman who never ceases to inspire me...over the years keeping in touch with her has touched me deeply...
Find that person who inspires YOU....

WWF.....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers...
The new craze...WWF....no, not the World Wrestling Federation...It's Words with Friends..
So, I ask...do you always play with your "friends"...are they Facebook friends..mobile users or...
unknown people who appear with a perfect combination of seven letters.
Yes, your dear EY, is hooked too...and...the other night I was thinking...is there a Keebler elf that lives inside the mechanics of WWF....is it like a slot machine?....does the game know what's been played and offer letters that just won't work??
Or...devoted followers...am I just grasping for PERFECT....that I could build on for PERFECTION...
Triple word that...and..that's a mighty fine score!
