        @Giles:

        One of our friends, Anna, will be attempting to swim around the Isle of Wight (that is 60 miles) tomorrow.

        We were at a party yesterday and Anna was there too.  Just over 24 hours after she had completed her 28 hour/60 mile swim.

        She was 100% "normal", her powers of recovery are simply amazing….

            I love Texan style chili con carne and it's getting to be that season.  Smart to make it the day before, I always make it the day before I serve it, let it sit and self-marinate for a day.

            Think it, be it.

              My brother makes chili con quorn sometimes and it's always better the second day… I love this kind of stuff, eventhough I have the poof version of the real deal...

                Posting my version in the Iron Chef thread.  I am going to make some this week thanks to G and the fall weather providing inspiration.

                  Any casserole or chili or etc is better the next day

                        Usually a period of time where a new employee can be let go with no fiscal implications to the employer.  Probably not something that happens a lot in the US as most employees have effectively zero security of tenure….

                          ^thanks for explaining Giles…

                          the probation period is 3months, so during that time, the company or the employer can end the contract without any special cause. after passing that time, it isn't that easy anymore...for the company that is!

                          so happy to be a "real" part of the company now...haven't gotten a raise, but i'll soon be able to parle le francais fluently 😉

                                  Congrats Rafa!.. I was on temp contracts/ probation for two effin years before I got a solid contract… I was part of the very last group of people who got a "lifelong" contract... Everyone who joins now only gets to stay for two years... Wished we had a good union...  I'd say "better" but these fucks don't do anything at all... 😠
