Back after a long absence

[BIGGUNDOCTOR]

Divine Bovine!  I just looked up my last visit and it was March 24, 2016, how time flies.  a LOT has happened over the last 6 years, and much of it was not good, which explains my current state of mind. It has been a long time since I have done any of my creative interests, and I need to shed this funk that I am in.  One huge change though is since my last visit I was laid off from my tool maker position during a financial crunch at the shop I was working in, worked at a bakery for three years before landing the most excellent job I have had working for someone else.  I am now working for TH Foods as a night shift maintenance mechanic. We make the Blue Diamond snack crackers, as well as some Kroger and Mondoleze (KRAFT) crackers as well. Our house brand is Crunchmaster. We go through around 70,000# of rice a day at our plant. We have three locations in ILL that do the other products. Good benefits, and fantastic pay, yet I still yearn to start another business of some sort.  Hopefully seeing all of your beautiful pieces will help get me off my ass and back creating, which hopefully will help to get my head straight.

 

Now I need to start checking out some of what I missed.

You have a lot of catching up to do . 

'Mondoleze' ( Kraft) once owned our 'Vegemite' . You  should have kept it!!!  As ' Crocodile Dundee' once said,  " you can eat it, but it tastes like s***t " .

Its  a bit like salty axle grease .

Welcome. A couple of years back I was curious about Vegemite. Not even health food stores had it. I ordered some from Amazon. Came from England, took 2 weeks. I took it to work for my co-workers to try. They said it was the worst thing they ever tasted. I think if I had enough to eat it regularly I could like it. But I do like salt.
