How is Zipfizz healthy? How is it even legal? 41,667% Vitamin B12? That's not deadly? Additional question mark?

I just ordered a case from amazon after reading this post. We shall find out.

Ruth's Chris is not a snobby steakhouse at all.

It's a spectacular place. I'd live there if I could.

Is there any way you could arrange like 15 trips to Taco Bell as your reward? Because that's what I would pick.

I hate that the closest Taco Bell is 20-30 minutes near my apartment.

Everyone should at least eat their once because it very well could be the best steak in their life.

I tried to open an account at Bank of America a couple weeks ago with a check from the same branch I was trying to open the new account. They wanted to put a 7 business day hold on the monies and the account. Why would a bank have to hold money for that long that is already in their own system and same branch?

Could be anything and not knowing BoA's policies it's kind of hard to say why.

My only guess and this is based on an assumption that since they had to check if they had enough cash on hand to even cash the check the check was probably relatively large.

And large deposits to open account *could* be reviewed for potential money laundering.

Just one possible reason and is just a guess.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Is Dave and Buster's any good these days? I know they have been catering more towards the adult crowd lately. Long story short I am choosing between D&B and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in terms of a reward card I am receiving. It's enough for 2-3 trips to D&B and one trip to the steakhouse. I've been to RCS and loved it.

Wow...I saw the footage of that at the hospital but I didn't know what it was about...That's pretty sad.

That CFB poll is awful. Beyond awful. 3 teams from 1 conference, and these 3 are from the same division!
My top 5:
Miss state
Fsu
Oregon
Michigan state
Auburn

Oh I know how good it is. I went for the first time earlier this year, but there is also better in Dallas. The 500 degree plate is a genius idea.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Has anyone here used 'LinkedIn'? If so, mind answering this question for me....

If I list a specific company under my previous work experience, will the company itself(and/or people who work for that company) be able to see that I added that company to my past jobs? Basically have to do stuff like this for one of the courses I'm taking, but there's 1 company in the past I only worked at for a short period of time, I want to include it to avoid "gaps" in my work history, but don't really want to if the people from that company can see I put that company on my profile(since I know a few people there didn't like how I was only there for several months)

As far as linkedin goes I don't believe they get notification unless you are linked to any of them at all.


As someone who interviews and hires people, it's a huge red flag to me if you have a previous work experience you are embarrassed about for any reason.

There are always two sides to every story.

Re: Off Topic 2014

It seems pretty close knit to me. It seems everywhere I've worked there's people who know me and are asking for connections.

My best guess is those that you connected with then, will be able to at least ask to network with you.

Re: Off Topic 2014

It's not embarrassed or anything, it's just that that 1-2 people from my past job who weren't happy with me leaving so soon, are on linkedin(they're not part of my network of contacts or anything). So I'd prefer them not being people who a potential future employer could contact(without my permission) since those are the last people I'd have ever asked to get a reference from.

Future employers don't need permission from you to contact past employers about you.


Hiring you is not a right to you, it's a responsibility to the employer.

First thing I do after interviewing someone is to go to their facebook page if they have one to get a view point on them other than what they told me in the interview.

Point is, if you're at all worried about past experience at a job, I would probably leave it off if you think it could come back to haunt you. Job recruiters will use anything they can to find out whatever they can.
