FReepers, a dear family member has been given 2 weeks notice. Anyone have a recommendation for a seriously good resume writer, who knows current lingo and style and has the ability to highlight skills without writing a novel? This person is greatly talented in many computer, tech, IT things but has some trouble sorting out his resume. I appreciate any suggestions you might have, whether it's a person or a program. Hoping to encourage him to get as many applications out in the next 2 weeks while he still has the job. Many thanks.

Some of us miss Humblegunner for his GOOD work here. I could take over in a gentler, kinder way, but I don't think my liver could take it.

Raquel Welch, who paved the way as both an actress and international sex symbol has died ... TMZ has learned. According to family members, Raquel died this morning after a brief illness.

You all might have seen this but I just did and I can't stop laughing. Please to enjoy a wonderful new selection of new Christmas songs. I am out the door so replies from me will be non-existent. Merry Christmas FReepers https://youtu.be/9k6hclDcZcg

This post came about because of concerns over the current "health crisis" and the heavy handed, jackbooted, response of the people in government who are getting away with murder. IF you are someone who disagrees with people who don't want vaccines and if you disagree with people who don't their kids or themselves smothered for another "2 weeks to stop the spread" - stay the hell out of this discussion. Period. Doing a search I found articles and comments about Homeschooling on the rise, etc. I KNOW FReepers have discussed their own varied experience with homeschooling. In the face of...

Please pray. Son in law just called. Daughter went to hospital by ambulance some kind of attack I don't know what but he hung up and there was all kind of noise. Please pray with me.

Conversation Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader Democrats just scheduled a vote for 2am tonight. They are so embarrassed by all the non-COVID waste in their bill that they are jamming it through in the dead of night.

I know many of us already buy as few things from China as possible but I am asking us all today to knuckle down and stop completely. We must starve our enemy and our enemy's puppets. Sacrifice whatever you can or have to, send a loud and clear message. Second hand stuff? Fine. Barter, trade, yard sales, whatever. Skip that new phone. Find USA made products and pay more for them gladly. I believe this is vitally important. I will not give money to my enemy to destroy my nation. Please try as hard as you can. God help us....

COMPLETELY off topic. Buying a home in a unknown market, just hit with horrendous and unexpected Inspection Report

First off, I pay $25 a month to support Free Republic and maybe that gives me one free vanity a month :) Second - I don't need anyone telling me that free advice is worthless so go away if that's you. Third - I appreciate the wisdom and experience of FReepers everywhere and I know that in between beebers and manatees will be some genuine help. Thank you.

FORT THOMAS, Ky. -- Dozens of veterans were caught off guard Thursday when they were informed they were being discharged from an inpatient program at the Fort Thomas VA hospital. The domiciliary is being converted for use as an isolation space for COVID-19 patients.

The past few years I have developed a mini-tradition of being up by myself through the wee hours of Christmas listening to Christmas music. During that time from 1 a.m. through dawn, I go through the Christmas Pandora music stations that some of you may recall from my Andy Williams Meets Watson and Crick article a few years back. I seem to spend the most time on the Carol of the Bells station I built from George Winston’s version off his magnificent December album. The instrumental versions of traditional songs such as Silent Night, I Saw Three Ships, and O...

Just had both of my EffBook accounts jailed for posting this news item. I guess they had issues with my calling these subhuman scum muzlims and hindus. This is beyond disgusting. I foolishly looked at the video. Effing diversity.

I do SO apologize for another silly Vanity. I can't find this information after an hour of searching, and I know some Dear FReeper will. I'm involved in a discussion about the WHO and its directives on Vaccines and Parental Consent.

Democratic State Rep. Tamara Meyer Le has a message for New Hampshire’s private and religious schools: “F*** you.” Literally. In an October 20th Facebook post, the Seacoast progressive and member of the House Education Committee used the profanity in a diatribe on her public FB page regarding her 8th-grade daughter’s friends applying to private high schools. “And then it happened. The Sunday afternoon my 8th grade daughter who is getting A-/B+s in 8th grade had to learn – while her friends were applying to private high schools – we would not be,” Le wrote. “Private and religious schools do not...

Froglegs, anyone? How about Intellectual Froglegs? If you don't know the work of Joe Dan Gorman thank me now because you're going to like him a lot. Share this great video with a loved one. It's the best show on TV!! JOE DAN NAILS IT - every time. Grab a snack and a drink but don't laugh them out your nose. JOE DAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NEW KEYBOARDS. Meet me back here and tell me "thank you!". :D *I do not know or have any personal dealing with Joe Dan except for being friends on Facebook. I just think...

Any Prayer Warriors around? Since being laid off last June DH has had a lot of job interviews but no offers, and finally took a job at a national chain building supply store, loading trucks. His usual line is IT, but this part of NY is bad for people out of work. Especially if you're over 35. ***ESPECIALLY*** if you're over 50. Anyway, second interview today with a good company and a job he's perfect for, they will call him 5-5:30 this afternoon to let him know the outcome. If God doesn't have a better thing lined up for him,...

Anyone need a good chuckle? A guy made a bot watch 1000 hours of Hallmark Christmas movies, and then had it write a script. All he shared was page One, and it's pretty funny. If Hallmark doesn't option the script, this would make an awesome lego movie. A few more lines at the site.

Hi All. Here's the situation. Hubs and I live in NY. I am not working, and he was part of a mass lay off 3 weeks ago. We need health insurance. COBRA will cost $1100+ per month and that is not doable. We looked into the much-fabled Medishare. To be a member you must profess faith and give them the name of your church. We have faith but no church. Some off-shoot, Aliera (?), isn't as strict, but kinda shady. Any other insurance company points to the Marketplace, where we will not go because, without income we'll be shoved onto...
