I haven't had to make or use a resume in almost 13 years. Please review?

Hey all, I haven't had to change jobs in over a decade. I've moved up several times at my current job, but the "resumes" I've made or turned in weren't really top tier since they were just for in house positions.

Next year sometime I'm going to be moving and will be back in the job market.

I've attached it as an Imgur link, since it's several pages.

Usually I would curate a resume for whatever position I'm applying for, but my boss has said if I send it to him he has a few people he knows in positions to look at it.

Color suggestions?

https://preview.redd.it/28u5sekcgkhh1.png?width=702&format=png&auto=webp&s=aaeca1e5d17f8aaf1dac77c46cd2966d8cd92180

I got these pants at a thrift shop and realized they're too close to my skin tone to look nice. I'd like to dye them (they're polyester x rayon x spandex) I don't mind the high heat etc. However, I'm looking for a dye color that would give maybe a nice deep blackish green or purple maybe? Or, if that's unsuitable maybe a very dark chocolate color?

The pants are a bit more camel than the taupe shown here (pulling a bit more orangey/yellow ish vs a true neutral)

I think Jacquard is still the brand of choice for synthetic dyes?

Looking to learn mahjong with my 9 year old - Game type advice

My son is 9, and loves all sorts of board and card games. We have been playing a super basic 2 player version on the phone (I think it's called push, or fingertip, or chasing the tortoise) it's nothing like the actual game, but it's akin to my favorite card game - trash.

Since he's a bit older and enjoys other tactical games, I think he'd like actual mahjong.

However, I've learned there are what feels like 6,000 types of games (it reminds me of Mexican train dominos and all the variants you can try)

So, I'm here to ask - Which type of mahjong is the easiest to learn? Which is the most fun to play?

I'd like to nail down that, before I look at tile sets (though it SEEMS an american set can be used for other types, whereas other sets cannot be used for american)

we live in the US, but it's doubtful we'd ever play with other people.

Best glue or? For nail ridges?

This is the second time I've gotten a greenie :( ive been using nky1 [or whatever its name is] brush on glue since the last time I got a greenie was squeeze glue.

I think the issue is some of my nails have pretty deep ridges. Should I get a semi solid glue? (Do they make one that doesnt have hema?) Or use some kind of ridge filling base coat?

I know greenies wont kill me, but its not the kind of moss I want in my life.

Retail Brand: None.

The fairies returned my loops!

No one at home understands how excited I am! My irridcsent loops have been missing for -months- literal ages. I finally gave up looking a while ago. Something else I haven't done in months? Gone hiking.

Guess what I found in my zip pocket? Yea Boi!

My husband says "thats what you get for not checking your pockets when we do laundry" 🥲 so, go check your pockets i guess.

They are passion fruits! - how to tell when ripe?

Ive... literally never eaten a passion fruit before, however the internet has all sorts of opinions.

How do you know when a fruit is ripe? I dont know if these will be yellow or purple fruits, since i didnt plant them.

They seem like the seeds are edible, in the way a pomegranate is, but I dont prefer to eat those seeds I kinda eat the pulp off then spit them out, can i do that with these as well?

DEET, TICKS, and melting pressons... a midwest summer story

Retail Brand: generic (temu) mushroom design.

Hey all! Ignore the dye on my fingers. This issue here is:

I live in missouri, its hot, its humid, there ARE ticks. I will not get alpha gal so, Ive been pretty religious about bug spray as well as sunscreen if im going to the park, or outside of a parkinglot area lol. I use OFF! Deep woods.

The issue is... it melted my index finger pressons, as well as the part of my phone case it touched! I dont think its a "cheap presson" issue since my phone case is a higher-end case (otterbox)

I will not use Avon skin so soft or Irish spring soap, or any other folk type bug repleants. I am not gonna have to stop eating steak for any reason, I already recently became lactose intolerant (I probably always was, but its worse now)

So... whats a girl to do?

My ideas:

Wear gloves each time I use bug spray

Treat my actual shoes with permetherin

Some other brand of bug spray that doesnt melt plastic?

Looking for a planning tool that will estimate gas stops

Hey all, Ive planned several local trips, but my husband and I would like to take a trip across several states in the next few years.

Is there an app out there where I can put in our start, destination location, and back to home that will estimate where/when well need to stop for fuel based on our mpg/tank size?

Ive figured out the route and our sleeping cities (missouri to Pennsylvania and back, with a sleep stop in Indiana) but im really struggling with estimating when to stop so I can budget how many fill ups we'd need (roughly).

Brass antiquing didn't work

I hope you all dont mind me posting again. I did attempt the vinegarxsalt patina/antiquing I saw for brass.

Soaked the whole thing for a few hours in acetone in the sun. Took it out, did not rinse it (maybe a fatal error?) Let the tub dry out and the maile dry out.

Put vinegar in a tub with plain table salt. (it wasnt air tight but did have a latched on lid) and made sure everything was elevated and really only the stainless chains turned silver in some spots that were touching the liquid. A couple of the lobster clips did turn a darker bass color, oddly enough.

Then i tried putting it all in the liquid for about an hour, in the sun, and not much changed. I thought maybe it wasnt air tight enough so I put plastic wrap inside over the maile left it for another two hours elevated again this time.

The actual maile itself is completely unchanged. I dod scratch at it, and nothing comes off so I dont -think- its anodized aluminum. Im half tempted to cut a link in half to see what it actually is inside.

Added dog pic as a plea of assistance to you all.

My options are: leave it outside for the next month in the Midwest humidity, paint it and hope it doesnt chip immediately...learn electroplating... burry it in the yard?

Mattifying/darkening/antiquing a golden metal?

Update: the shop was super quick to reply: Materials are as expected : maile is brass(i didnt get the exact alloy, but was assured none of their products have lead content) the hanging chains are a coated stainless steel.

Hey all! I did not make this piece, i purchased it for an event I have coming up. [Chainmail by syntheticdaisydesign]

The work is lovely and it fits perfectly! But its very very gold, where I was originally thinking it'd be more of a brass-ish color.

Unfortunately with my outfit it screams mardi-grais rather than armor.

Is there a way to make the gold less bright and shiny and more "age worn battle" feel?

My fiance is a bladesmith and can do some things if he knows what im needing or wanting.

Ideally id rather alter the metal vs painting it just due to the mobile nature of chainmail. I also have options of painting, chemicals, or cerakote (i dont think from reading the last option is a good one?)

Lawn alternatives? 7a, hot, full sun, low water

My "lawn" currently is mostly whatever native grass grows in missouri, plantains, dead nettles and various other "greens" zone 7a southwesten missouri

I'd like to put something low/less mowing. The plantains and grasses get pretty tall and honestly Im a lazy mower.

We do have an hoa ( >:[ ) so we have to keep it "clean" or "intentional" looking.

No one really goes out front, unless its to move the garbage can so its very low traffic.

[TOMT][SONG] song says "grandpa youre not the one to die"

My son says the song went "grandpa youre not the one to die" then there was a gunshot and people gasped, and then the line repeated a few times.

He says the song was kind of a rock/alt feel.

We listen to a lot of types of music. It wont be a country song or a rap song. He said it sounded similar in feel to bear ghost but isnt sure what band it is.

Son is getting an injury settlement, questions about how to best handle the funds

My son who's under 18 is receiving an injury settlement that is over $10,000. In Missouri it needs to be put into some kind of fund that can only be accessed by him once he's 18 or older.

The lawyers would like to put it into a "structured settlement annuity" as that's what is easiest for them.

Ideally I'd like the funds to be put into something that can build safely on the value, and will not charge him bogus amounts of taxes when he eventually goes to use it.

I'm not really sure the best route to handle the funds to actually get good growth out of them.

I'm also concerned about future things such as financial aid for college etc that may be affected by various account types.

I found this very neat Athena coin in a thrift shop here. It even has a removable case with it. Its definitely going into my travel bag to remind me to think and keep my mouth shut before speaking.
