I just got a phone call this morning scheduling a job interview for this coming Tuesday afternoon.  Now I have to start mentally preparing for it.

For some reason, I can't correct my previous posting.

Anyway, I just got a phone call this morning.  I have a job interview coming up on Tuesday afternoon.  Now I have to start preparing myself mentally for it and figure out what to wear.  It's been a while since I've done a job interview and my weight has changed to the point that my best clothes don't fit the same anymore.

Congratulations, Bones!  This is good news.  I'm glad you have several days, including a weekend, to get prepared.  I've got my fingers crossed for you.

hi bones,

think of all your friends here on the board, cheering you on and knowing you'll be great.  Put your best foot forward, and you'll come across as enthusiastic.

Hi Bones

If time permits, try a GOOD consignment shop... I had same problem, due to ulcer, gained weight because of the things I had to eat to keep the tummy soothed. Shocking change in dimensions. Only takes a couple of inches!

Found a couple nice suits, unworn, great prices, 'previously owned'. Got me through the necessary meetings while I returned to my old self... I am having them dry cleaned and keeping them in reserve, 'in case'. Similar approach might work for you in this situation.

Good luck, good luck, good luck, you'll be an asset to anyplace that has any intelligent and decent people running it at all.

Yay, Bones!!  I'm praying and trusting that if this is the job for you, it will be yours. If not, there's a better opportunity just around the corner. Hold your head up and smile with confidence! I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday.

With love,
Hope

I went back to the dentist today and had more work done on that tooth.  It felt like root canal part 3.  Now I've been told that part of my gum is inflamed and the dentist wants to do surgery on it.  Ick!

Hi Bones,
before getting surgery, can you get a second opinion? I once had a dentist tell me he needed to cut off part of my gums because they had swelled up.    I balked at any cutting.  Another dentist told me that if the cause of the swelling (and I think inflammation) were to be treated, the swelling would go down.   It did.   Is surgery normally the treatment for inflammation?  I thought it wasn't, unless gangrene had set in. 
You can say no, unless it feels right to you.
