What's quality care? Same as preventative care?

Are you saying the supply of health care will go down?

When I went through Basic Training, it was really all about weeding out people who couldn't deal with extreme stress.

My husband has one of those hairline tattoos. You really can't tell unless you're up close.

My husband used to do sheathing and said the same thing. Of course we were in NJ, so nearly every job was a McMansion - gag.

This is exactly the type of place I like to travel to. Sad I'll never see it in person.

True, but cooks and maids are much more common in South America (from my experience). My MIL lived in a favela and still had a cook/maid.

Although one client did tell me he's living in Miami and "can never return to Venezuela" because he's a political dissident.

I have some clients in Venezuela and want to ask them about this so bad, but it would be incredibly unprofessional.

Same. If I shave in the morning, I have stubble by the afternoon and it's so uncomfortable. :( With waxing I don't notice the growth. :)

If you're really going to do it, buy some numbing cream with 5% lidocaine. No need to be a hero.

Seconded! I'm only itchy when shaved hair grows back. That's why I wax.

If you don't chill sugar cookie dough, your shapes are going to blow up in the oven!

I loved those books as a kid. However if my kid brought one home, I might think, "What the fuck??"

He's like Javier Bardem, ugly-hot.

Same in Brazil. Some bakeries have them, but they're too dense and of course loaded with leite condensedo. -_-

Either way - it's doable! You can do private teaching or work for an international company that doesn't require certs. Which countries btw?

I do actually work for an English school; they didn't require a degree or cert, but I'd like to think it helped me get the job.

These are people at my kids' schools, at the grocery store, etc asking for private classes. No cert needed for private classes! :)

I live in South America and I get asked to teach classes ALL the time. You definitely don't need a degree or certs.

Ah, I'm in Minas Gerais, so I see a lot of lime (green) trees. Maybe I'll try to smuggle some lemon seeds back from my next trip.

Why is that? I was surprised that I can't find any here. I figured they would be everywhere.

Cara, I love you, mas em inglês o verde é = lime. Limãos (lemons) são amarelos. (I can never get lemons here rsrs).

haha, thanks. English is actually my first language, it's just hard to switch back and forth sometimes.

I've been translating all day, let me say that more clearly - she thought Toledo's family bribed the judges to choose Toledo as the winner.

This was in 2015. Sheislane Hayalla (red) claimed Carolina Toledo's (blue) family bought the crown. Hayalla was protesting the corruption.

Nah, no problem! I honestly have no idea myself. They look like what I had seen on GBBO, but someone else also said they're just pastries.
