Can you completely lose your unemployment if you take a temp job?

Ok, I was employeed at a company for 5 years and it completely closed forcing me to go on unemployment. I have never been unemployeed since the day I’ve been able to work at 16. It’s been about 9 months now of trying to find a job. I apply to everything and just cannot get a job. I even went back to school to brush up my skills during this ordeal. Now I just need a job even more for survival. In sheer desperation I applied at a temp agency. Ive been offered a 2 week job that starts in a few weeks. But now Im being told of all these horrible things like I will lose unemployment and be stuck in the temp world of waiting for jobs! I am freaking out, cause although unemployment was tiny compared to what I normally made, I made it work. But if I lose all income…Im screwed. I could last a week or so if it took that much time for unemployment to start back up after the 2 week job. But if after that 2 weeks, Im faced with nothing and no job prospects, I don’t know what to do. I have kicked the job search into high gear this week, with the hope of landing a job before I sign the final paperwork for this 2 week job. The worst part is I just dont know if Im making a terrible decision because I’ve never did temp work before. Does anyone have any words of advice? Im grown but I feel so freaken confused and sad :(

Brown sugar substitute for someone allergic to molasses?

I cannot eat molasses due to what I suppose is a rare food intolerance…Even a single cookie or bowl of cereal can leave me nauseous and dizzy. This means I can’t use brown sugar and raw sugar in recipes. Often, white sugar can be substituted without too much of an impact on the taste, but certain things (e.g., candied yams) just don’t work.

Is there any blend of sugar/spices that might work as an acceptable substitute for taste while preserving the chemistry?

Are dried beans or legumes considered a raw food that would be able to germinate and/or sprout?

I am wondering this because I am trying to adopt a “raw food” lifestyle and can’t seem to figure out where to get raw beans… When I go into health food stores, I never see a label saying that the majority of them are raw like most raw foods are labeled, yet I have seen one bean labeled “raw” only ONCE! I cannot believe that the majority of these stores would only carry ONE type of raw bean (non-heated or roasted). I am assuming they are all just dried… Please help!!!

Did you know?

The planet Mercury can actually cure caner. Scientists and aliens agree that if you were to stare at mercury from 4 and a half miles away (or closer), you would be completely healed. The only problem is, nobody can get that close without realizing that they cannot breathe anymore, or without being completely obliterated by the sun. So hopefully research will extend so that the sun stops randomly killing people in space.

In other news, the aliens want their earth back. They also plan to attack on december (day unknown) 2012. Be prepared, as this will be the war of the worlds. Good day to you all.

Does anyone have a strategy for maximizing the benefit of All-You-Can-Eat buffets?

I want to eat as much as I can but cannot find information on which foods to eat first and whatnot. Seafood, chicken, salads, stirfrys, tacos/burritos, everything is available! But in what order should I eat to keep from filling up too quickly?
