19842. sakonige - 7/25/2006 8:24:10 PM anyway, I'll see you guys later.
I'm glad to see the website is still active. Thanks, Jay. 19843. wonkers2 - 7/25/2006 8:25:49 PM Sakonige, are you a fan of Jack Abramoff and Ralph Read? They are known for helping our Native American friends. 19844. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 8:25:51 PM That's one thing about teaching that makes up for the low pay--job security, even in the worst times. I know if my school shuts down I will be able to get a job in another district, and have several positions to choose from. 19845. sakonige - 7/25/2006 8:26:18 PM arky, I was surprised. Cherokees are very loyal to the NE OK region, so many of the college graduates don't move away. Many stay in the area as teachers. 19846. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 8:26:30 PM See you, Sakonige! Don't be such a stranger! 19847. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 8:27:26 PM The Cherokee seem to be very well organized, with good leadership. Is the woman (Mankiller?) still the chief? 19848. sakonige - 7/25/2006 8:27:59 PM wonkers2, haha.
I gotta go. I want to take a look at the wretched headlines again before my lunch break is over.
I'll see you all later. 19849. sakonige - 7/25/2006 8:28:59 PM arky, no Wilma isn't chief any more. But we do have all kinds of political intrigue going on. We can talk later. 19850. judithathome - 7/25/2006 8:41:56 PM Hey, welcome back, Sako! Good to hear from you again! 19851. Jenerator - 7/26/2006 12:37:37 AM Hi Sakonige!
What are you going to do with all of that pastry knowledge?!
19852. sakonige - 7/26/2006 1:47:10 AM Hi, Jenerator!
I guess baking will remain a hobby for now. Getting a bit of training as a professional baker was a tremendous lot of fun, as well as a lot of hard work. I have a new appreciation for the work that goes on behind a restaurant's kitchen doors. I also developed a taste for the really good stuff. 19853. sakonige - 7/26/2006 1:55:32 AM Jenerator, how are your plans for opening your shop coming along?
I may still open one myself, but it will probably be five years down the road or more. I happened to fall into a position that is rapidly bringing my software skills back up to date. It's too good of an opportunity to pass up, or at least seems to be right now. :) 19857. arkymalarky - 7/26/2006 4:04:09 AM If you count yourself "colorful and interesting" and have something to contribute you think will improve the content, by all means do so. 19858. Jenerator - 7/26/2006 4:37:24 AM Who is tmesis? 19859. Jenerator - 7/26/2006 4:40:15 AM Sakonige,
The place we had scouted out suddenly wanted too much money which was really frustrating! We were the first people to show any interest in the site in 4 years. They were asking for more than $5K a month!
Anyway, we decided to wait and go in with some partners in a couple of years. Unless of course, someone beats us to the market. Dallas is RIPE.
Btw, the location we wanted now has a shitty taco shop inside it that isn't doing well.
What's your favorite pastry now? Least favorite?
Baking is an art. Anything involving philo impresses me.
19860. judithathome - 7/26/2006 5:29:50 AM Wow, how difficult is it to fake it for a few posts before insulting people, tmesis? Ha! 19861. Ms. No - 7/26/2006 5:57:43 AM Jen,
We went to Dickie's BBQ in Mesquite -- it's a chain so there are others, but that's the one my Aunt always went to with my Mamaw after their movie dates so it was kind of tradition. 19862. Ms. No - 7/26/2006 5:59:08 AM Sakonige,
Good to see you and glad to hear you're doing well. 19863. Ms. No - 7/26/2006 6:03:08 AM Hi Juditha,
Well, you didn't miss a great show tonight although there were some incredible voices and Melba Moore completely dominated the production. Loved, loved, loved her, but she was the only interesting character and while the songs for the show had plenty of room for vocal acrobatics hers were the only ones that were truly interesting and that was due primarily to her skill as a performer.
