cooking suis vie --- unemployment/ bartenders...are my todays hang ups.....

 

after "boiling "  a perfect steak at 133.00 for 4 hours --- i  vacuum bagged 3 chicken legs- put them in the pot-- raised the temp to 165.00 degrees.  for 2 hours and ended up with the best chicken leg i have had in a very long time....i can hardly wait to have the other 2 for breakfast today.

 

which brings me to unemployment..  i do agree that the concept is valid...  there are times when someone - thru no fault of their own,  is-- for the moment--- unable to have a routine paycheck....however..... in th e past year, i have known of a person, not working because they could not find a job -- and she is( suposed to be??) a nurse??  she explained to me  she had no intention of looking for a job til the unemployment ran out-- and that was good for another 17 years.. or something.

and i thought of Pam.... who in her life had been about everything known to the working world... from political campaigns to. childcare. to  bartending....  i could not mention any job without her saying she had done that in 1993 or such.. in other words.. she worked.... period.  she also said she had never been on unemployment..  i believe it.

and as my career progressed, i realized.. there was another group of people ( besides 4h people )to whom i would prefer to hire... and that is people who have been bartenders.... they seemed to be women who had been stuck for a paycheck and took a job waiting on tables-- where the only possible advancement to them was to learn to bartend.... so they did that... whether they were in college getting an mba or newly divorced with 2 kids  the effort at advancement seems a common denominator.

 

so how come such a high percentage of our presidents have been raised by "single mothers" -- 2 examples  i can think of is clinton and obama...... and...... unless you are of a particular religious persuasion, there is no such thing as a single mom.....  or there should not be  such a thing as single mom....the other half that pregnancy came from somewhere... it should be a law that paternity must be established in every birth.... boy would that  not screw up society.. one thing it would do... is all these white men that make up these laws would suddenly believe in and make abortion  as legal as gun carrying...

 

I am told----male sperm swim faster  but female sperm are larger and last longer   -- what does that say about the general population .. which... I am told... is 51% female... why is our congress not 51% female?  Is that because men are generally bigger and louder???
