telling me how they were earning 10-12 cpl right out of their courses.  I started to wonder if I was just not very bright, they were really lucky, or if they are full of caca.  I have a couple of other offers, another for 4cpl and one for 5cpl.  The 5cpl though is voice recognition editing and has a number of ESLs, so I know I won't be as productive. 

I've been working this account a couple of weeks and really like it.  The doctors on the account are all good dictators and curteous (I can never spell that word, lol).  They seem to take notice of back ground noise and will stop when it gets loud and even repeat if they think what they said got covered up.  They speak clearly and use a lot of the same phrases. 

Thank you for the encouragement and reason.  I was beginning to feel a bit depressed.

so I'm not up for that challenge.  It has nothing to do with religion, or beliefs, or such....I just do not like Halloween.  I did the whole bit when my kids were little, but never liked it (they could not tell that though!). 

I don't like witches, or spiders, or cupcakes that look like them.  Don't like pointy hats and long chins with warts on them and especially warts with hair growing out of them.  Don't like to scare people or to be scared.  Don't like hairy spiders hanging on a thread.  Don't like green faces on little children.  Don't like mucous-looking stuff dripping off someone's face or, worse yet, off another body part.

I am being somewhat facetious but...I really do not like Halloween.

BUT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CANDY CORN!!! AND THE CANDY CORN THAT IS SHAPED LIKE A PUMPKIN. 

These lights are adorable.  If you weren't going to have the kids make them, perhaps you could make them up ahead of time to "decorate".  Twinkle lights are sold at the dollar stores nowadays for a buck!!!

Your Halloween Party sounds fun!!!  I was thinking about doing one for my 6-year-old, having the kids dress up. 

But I do have to ask, just because you are a Christian does not mean you can't celebrate Halloween.  In fact, you ARE celebrating "Halloween", just on a different day.  I understand the meaning of Halloween isn't the best, however, that is the day that is set aside and Halloween has been totally commercialized anyway, so it is not like I am sitting at home worshiping un-Christian like things or trying to be a witch.  Do you see what I mean?  I am not trying to be mean, I too am a Christian, but we do take the kids out on Halloween.

I always get a craving for candy corn this time of year!

There were always literally hundreds of kids out in our neighborhood on Halloween.  When I was about 12, I got a gray wig and messed up the hair, a rubber mask with a large nose and lots of wrinkles, wore an old long plaid robe tied at the waist and socks with open-toe bedroom slippers.  So here I am, messy gray hair, ugly face, robe and slippers and walked with a limp down the dark street.  Two men were waiting at the end of a driveway for their children.  Here I come, limping by and one man pokes the other one in the side and says, "Hey, Jim.  Is that your wife or mine?" 

I will remember that for as long as I live.

You will have an eyeball! I mean, ball.

This will be my 1st, usually my sister-in-law does it. I picked up A Taste of Home's Halloween issue and if that doesn't inspire you to do something this fall, then you might be dead...pun intended.

For dessert I am going to make little witches that will make a neat centerpiece. Here's how you do it: Take 16 large marshmallows, oreo cookies, coconut slivers (for the hair that you dye green with food coloring), Hershey kisses and peanut butter cups (miniature) that will be the top of her hat (place candies on top of oreo chocolate cookie (minus one side of cookie and the frosting).  Use pretzels for her broomstick. These things are so cute I can hardly stand it.

2. Spider cupcakes. Use chocolate EVERYTHING and for the legs use 8 small pieces of licorice dangling from the cupcake and anything small and red for the eys (M&M minis) or red icing.

There are tons of ideas and recipes. The main dish will be Witch's Brew Stew and it looks awesome! If you want the recipe, email me. If not, then drop dead.

Oh, and for the kiddies, I will be playing games like pin the stem on the pumpkin and bobbing for body parts (will probably call this game something else), but you fill up a large tin bucket, stain the water black and put things in inside. Each kid takes turns using their hands to try to find 3 things you tell them to find in this nasty mixture of stuff using their HANDS, not mouth.....

So, get your invitations out, dust off your printers and have fun! I'm doing this mid-month, not on Halloween since I am a Christian and we don't celebrate Halloween.

I have a friend that was a Pug breeder. Unfortunately the "Pug couple" only had one litter as the female had major problems with her first and only litter.  She still has the male and female who are almost 10 years old and in good health.

She "rescued" a "Puggle" (Pug/Beagle cross) a few months ago and that poor dog had the worst gas. STINK!  It was just awful.  She was feeding him Iams just like her older Pugs, but he would make everyone run outside.  We had him in the car one day and we were all ready to just bail.

I'll have to ask her what she did to make the Puggle stop clearing out the neighborhood.

I have a BS that isn't that marketable (at least all of my A&P, Patho, etc.. were useful for this job) and am contemplating the same thing.

I have thought about outpatient primary care nursing since I don't really want to work in an inpatient environment.  I originally wanted to get my BSN but got sidetracked and am thinking about going back through a BS to BSN program sometime in the future.

My kids are 2,3 and 7 and while I know some people can do it, I think it would be really hard to go to RN school at this point in my life. Your child is older and it might be easier for you, but it will still be tough. You have to get to clinicals early and often stick around to get more information on your pt at the end. The night before your clinical, I have heard RN students have to do tons of prep work - you have to know your pt's medical condition inside and out and have all of your nursing diagnoses and care plans set up. 

Its a lot of work but the career is very rewarding and the pay, despite all of the kvetching, is pretty darn decent. 

If it is something YOU want to do, talk to an advisor.  Get the lowdown on it.  When I was in college the first time, the RN program had an information session for prospective students that included a Q and A with a current student.  But, make sure it is your goal - I let people convince me to go pre-med and within a semester I realized there was no way I wanted to be an MD.  Had I stuck to my desires instead of what someone else wanted for me and thought was a better choice, I might have been a pretty good nurse by now.

Good luck. Lots of people do it. It is much harder than when you have no kids but people do it all of the time. 

I can't believe I didn't watch this show from the beginning.  I just really started watching it this season.  Now it's a must see show for me!
