Are you on LinkedIn? If you set your status to "looking" there, you should have recruiters contacting you.

Contact a recruiter. Get out of public accounting. Best decision I ever made. Carrie Lewis at Robert Half is a good place to start.

Just FYI, Simply Vera is her line at Khol's, so not like the "real" Vera Wang designer brand.

does it have the coconut flakes in it that you kind of have to chew? I love coconut flavor but not the texture of the flakes.

re: Accounting Majors -- Any experiences here?

Posted by UniqueNewYork on 6/16/20 at 9:28 am to Odysseus32

The hardest classes for me were Cost but it was because I had a horrible teacher. CPA exam just takes a lot of time and dedication. I did public at 2 different firms for a total of 6 years. I moved around between audit, tax, and consulting which helped me be very well rounded. Now in private and do not miss public at all. Making way more $$ with better benefits in private.

According to Zaxby's website it's 850 for the fried. If you get grilled you shave off 140 cals so that would be 710.

Stephanie had endured the loss of her oldest daughter in 2016 (who was a senior in college). I feel horrible for this family, they are wonderful people.

Hi! I started baby-led weaning around 5 months so your situation will look a bit different. Some great 1st foods are avocado (try just cutting into cubes. i would put a little sodium-free seasoning on it also), banana, toast with PB, eggs, any vegetable you can steam to a softer texture. Remember they don't have the same food preferences you do so don't forget things you dislike! if you go on Pinterest and search "baby led weaning" there are tons of recipes for muffins, pancakes, etc that are more healthy for babies. breakfast foods are usually a hit with us. if there is one thing he really loves (i.e. bananas) make sure to have that item on the plate along with new things. mine also loves jambalaya, rice and gravy, spaghetti, etc. and i started feeding him those things at 5 mos. good luck!

I remember in Rapides Parish in the 90's we used to have something called "Farmer Jones Special". Still don't know what the heck it was. I loved the square pizza always served with corn and "super beefy nachos"... and of course the yeast rolls and peanut butter cake/bars things. I don't think they give the kids dessert any more.

re: Would the world be better off if women stayed home

Posted by UniqueNewYork on 9/25/18 at 1:24 pm to yellowfin

I think you're missing the point. Of course everyone wants their children to be happy. But there is more of a push for girls to be financially independent. Girls are not only focused on getting a "Mrs Degree". Having a career or supporting ones self doesn't necessarily mean making tons of money, but why wouldn't a woman want to earn as much money as possible if she is following the career path of her choosing? Of course money isn't everything. But I think more and more we are seeing women who are happy working AND raising children. Now is that OPTIMAL? I don't know. I am just offering an explanation of why stay-at-home moms are more rare these days.

i'm sure many career women would love to stay home. when you are 30 years old and 8-10 years deep into a career that pays just as much as your husband's it is very hard to make that choice. i'm sure many men on here would say that is selfish though. dividing your household income in HALF is not easy, even if you are willing to make sacrifices.

re: Would the world be better off if women stayed home

Posted by UniqueNewYork on 9/25/18 at 11:39 am to Darth_Vader

all of you who say women should stay home... do you have daughters? if so, are you teaching them that they should get an education and be independent? that they should have a career and be able to support themselves? then once they get married and have children will you expect them to give up said career? if you take years off to raise your children it will be almost impossible to re-enter the workforce at anywhere near the salary you were making when you quit. this is why women who are intelligent and educated are putting their children in daycare. they make too much money to stay home and do not want to have a career setback that will cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars over those 4 years that their children will be at home all day.

re: Car seats for kids

Posted by UniqueNewYork on 3/7/18 at 9:24 am to Janky

first please make sure the seats are not expired, have never been in a wreck, etc. before donating. there is a group on Facebook (I know, Facebook is trashy) called Baton Rouge Carseat Safety. The lady who runs it does demos and safety checks. She will take expired seats or you can ask there for anyone who is in need.

re: Where can I park in New Orleans for Mardi Gras parades?

Posted by UniqueNewYork on 2/9/18 at 9:42 am to schwartzy

For Endymion, we stand on Carrollton near the Rouses. Lots of places to get food and drinks, and you can use the Rouses bathrooms. You can try to find free spots on side streets or people who will let you park in their yard for $20. Coming from Metairie take City Park/Met Rd exit then just take Canal and try side streets till you find something.
