BYC Café

[N F C]

Shin is the front part of the lower leg of a cow usually. It used to be a poor persons meat for making stews. It does need slow cooking and of course if you buy it on the bone it's a bit fiddly. For flavour though compared to what gets sold as stewing beef it wins hands down

Ok, laugh if you must...when I read "shin" this morning, I actually looked at the front of my leg and thought Shad can't mean that, there's no meat there

Hello, Cafe.
Not good morning.
The company that I work for has been acquired by TTM, the largest N. America PCB manufacturer. Asset transfer to begin next month with "shadowing" of key processes by TTM personnel for intellectual property transfer. Physical inventory transfer to occur beginning 4th Qtr.
Some current employees will either be made an offer to move to Chippewa Falls WI to the main fabrication plant or other TTM owns facilities. Some will also be offered positions at the current companies Endicott site and/or the Binghamton site.
Ra ra. Like it's even an option for me to drop everything and just move.
I'm going for my first mammogram today. Maybe I'll get even more great news from that.

Things might get a bit scary with the job situation Tonya, but remember, things always work out the way they're supposed to. Ditto on what IM said, you're a smart, talented woman...you're going to end up fine. (And if not, just send out an SOS to the Cafe and we'll all come storming to your defense)

Glad the mamo went ok!

I tried my best to keep goats and did for a few years. Constantly getting their heads unstuck out of the fence. I finally called it a day and sold them.

That was one of the biggest problems we had...they would insist on sticking their heads in places they did not belong. One girl in particular was bad about that. We finally put short pieces of hose on her horns with a brace to hold them in place. That Headdress of Shame took care of that problem!

We all had our suspicions.
TTM bought Anaren, a company we make boards for. Then TTM supplied us with 2 laser drills because we were gated there from producing even more boards for Anaren.
I had seen our General Manager going through sectors with the Director of Engineering pulling together the physical inventory lists.
I'm hoping that I'll be offered a job with my current company as I'm a pretty cheap date, very flexible and have done a wide variety of work for them. I've saved the company 4x my annual salary in reworked boards already this year.

Sometimes being a cheap date is a good thing!

Huh weird a wether would do that but I guess most goats are little trouble makers ha

Spike was a coward, a bully, and a just plain unpleasant personality. His mother was the herd matriarch, and while she was alive, she kept him in line. But when she died, he assumed the dominant role, and the only thing he had going for him was brute strength.

A bit more about the Elton John/Ryan White friendship, for anyone who might be interested

The mammo was a piece of cake. I don't know what other women are complaining about. I've bashed myself harder than that machine could squash me!
I don't know how I'm going to get the results because I have no PCP and currently no health insurance. My life is one hot mess!!
I kind of have to wait and see.
With DH only getting worse with the Alzheimer's, I can't go back to full time work. I'll eventually have to get someone to stay with him when I'm working. I don't know when that will be. Hopefully not for a long time but no one knows how the disease is going to progress.
I'd also like to finish my house and get my mother's house finished and sold. I can't do these things if I'm working full time.

That's good to know, haha. I've been terrified of it every since I heard that, but I'm not great with doctors anyway.

I'm sorry about your husband. That must be very hard.

Good morning Cafe.
Coffee is made.
Looks like it might rain.

G'morning cafe

Thanks Shad. If you don't want that rain you can send it my way. We could certainly use it.

Have a good day all.
