Essential Oils - doterra

Also, Arch, i've told you about it before but do some reading on DMSO. Those insane Cowboys teams of the 90's swore by it. My dad brought it up to me once and I almost bought it but didn't want the garlic odor that comes with it.

How's your diet?
Click to expand...

Whatever my wife feeds me. In general I net around 1700 calories per day. Diet is probably a little higher in fat and lower in protein than I would ideally like.

Conditioning?

No idea because I don't know what a reasonable baseline is. I'm 5'11" and weigh about 170 so I'm not obese. I usually aim for 3-4 workouts a week and try to burn off over 3,000 calories per week during those workouts.

If you have legitimate suggestions I'd listen to them. Unfortunately describing my intake/outputs and what chemicals I self-medicate with probably qualifies as the most adult conversation I've ever had.

I'm not sure I'll say this clearly or sensitively enough but I'd attribute the inordinately high number of MLM's to the fact that Utah is not just a state but a people. And if a Mormon's selling something, other Mormons listen and buy in with open arms. From a psychological perspective, it makes complete sense.

I think the sales profession is very popular here as well. The missionary experience lends itself to sales. Hence, insurance salesmen, like Trout's crooked ***, are in abundance. Selling this crap fits that mold as well.

Well now, that seems a little bit uncalled for.

But I agree with you to some extent. I'm not sure insurance is the best fit for your scenario, as I certainly don't fit your description; no mission here, nor was I a churchy guy until my mid-20's. In fact, over the last five years I can think of only five return missionaries (there may have been others that I didn't know about) out of the 30+ co-workers I've had in that time. Most of the Mo-Mo's I know came home and started selling security systems.

I was using you as an example of an insurance guy, not so much the missionary/saleman. Plus, I just wanted to call you crooked. Regardless I do think missionary work lends itself to the sales realm post-mission.

I worked in sales for many years and interviewed many the return missionary. I had many applicants use their mission experience on their resume and in the interview.

Just curious BP, but how did that go over for you as the hiring manager in the interview? I have yet to come across that and would be curious how it would be perceived. I know I never listed my missionary service on my resume or what have you, unless it was listed as a "service mission" just to explain the gap. I know others listed their leadership (zone leader, etc.) as experience on their resumes.

For the record, I've never listed my mission on my resume, either. But then again, I've interviewed for exactly one job in my entire life. I did use the "fluent in Spanish" aspect though.

Not well, tbh. It definitely made the interview process more awkward for both parties. Reading back, I was being a bit hyperbolic. I had a few applicants use their mission as experience, not many.
 
For what it's worth, I've never NOT listed my missionary service on my resume/CV. As someone who has spent most of his life *outside* of Utah, I don't understand why that would even be a concern. So you've got two years of volunteer experience. Great!

You? A bit hyperbolic? I would have never imagined that.
 
Yo, the Lemon essential oil keeps the mosquitos away, doesn't smell horrible like most bug repellants, and is pretty cheap as far as essential oils go. Also, list your mission on your first couple of jobs post missions. After you have five or six years of work experience it isn't really necessary. . .

Sounds like that Avon Skin-So-Soft oil. Supposedly could be used for everything from softening your skin, to an insect repellent, to removing gum from hair or fabric, to removing rust from nails, to removing crayon markings from walls, etc etc etc....
