But I'd feel a little stressed to make jam, pies, etc etc. But I wouldn't mind that stress, really. <br /><br />Freezer jam is great. I gotta do that. I *had* to use up all my strawberry freezer jam before I moved. Yum. I tried making canned jam and it all got moldy.<br /><br />And, you gotta be honest and true to yourself. Good for you.

I fought a big war with them last spring, hacking them down and ripping out what I could in the back yard. Meanwhile, they exploded in legions in the front yard along the fence line. The vines are almost twice as tall as me before they curve down to run along the ground.<br /><br />But our friend, T has masses of them where he works. He has already brought me at least 5 gallons!<br /><br />Blackberry freezer jam is very very easy to make. You need berries, sugar, water and pectin. I like that you can use margarine tubs instead of jars. I don't can. I don't know how to can. :-)Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-61922474019519080682010-08-22T11:54:34.811-07:002010-08-22T11:54:34.811-07:00Cube-- I do agree, half a job is better than none!...Cube-- I do agree, half a job is better than none!

I had no idea about government employees not being eligible for partial unemployment. That kinda sucks.<br /><br />As for your answer, hopefully the interviewer knows that question is loaded. Sounds like a canned interview anyway. Good answer on your part though.<br /><br />And if you need someone to unload some of those blackberries on, I'm ready and able!3GKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619904623457434103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-64024275938518848412010-08-21T17:38:58.619-07:002010-08-21T17:38:58.619-07:00Sounds like an excellent answer to me!

In fact, I was asked a similar one in which I answered it depends on the personality of the child, his IEP directives and the limitations of the circumstance. Sheesh! As if there are concrete answers to this sort of thing.<br /><br />I am trying to be out here, but with so much going on... I guess that everyone is getting all their last gasp vacations and school shopping etc in line.<br /><br />I enjoyed your post very much today. Anyone reading... go check it out!

And I've been uncharacteristically prolific this week too. Oh, well.<br /><br />That's not a bad answer to that question, I think. Well, still pulling for something you actually want.<br /><br />When I've been asked similar questions, I usually ask for more specifics. I was once asked how I would motivate a youth group. I said I couldn't answer that. Describe the kids, the parish, the community, and then I could. It makes a big difference. Same with that situation... what exactly are we talking about, here?<br /><br />I didn't particularly want, neither was I offered, that position. I don't have much of the "camp counselor" personality. But I don't think my answer to that question was a bad one.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.com
