from what I could see most of those exercises could be done just as well on an exercise ball, and its a lot cheaper too.

yes..much more effective. geeze..
gets on my nerves...we have so many door to door people...
I have heard it is effective but
it is a really strict regimen you have to follow- you have to avoid some kind of chemical, I can't remember what, but its in like deoderant and all kinds of other stuff. It sounds like it would be a pain to go through it but then again it would sure beat hurting all the time.
read somewhere generic is not as effective as brand name
no msg
News flash: NO birth control is 100% effective.

Maybe she was on birth control. Who knows?  The Spears' do not seem like intelligent people to me, so maybe she wasn't smart enough to be on birth control, but remember that even the pill is only 99% effective when taken perfectly, and I imagine most women forget a pill every now and then, which lowers its effectiveness even more.  I hope and pray my kids don't have children at a young age, but if they do I will accept their children with open arms and try to be the best grandma I can be.  Much of life is about making the best of a bad situation.  Not everything is picket fences and roses.


right; effective, quick, cheap method; have always believed this; always will

Bag balm and sweat socks...Nasty but very effective...
My feet get so dry they crack and bleed, summer or winter. It takes me about 3 days of sleeping in sweat socks, but it works. Also I swear by anything with shea butter in it, especially anything from Bath and Body Works rocks!!!. I also swear by Gold Bond Ultimate Soothing skin therapy lotion. It has shea butter in it too and it rocks too. There is no real smell to it so if you are allergic or sensitive, then this will work.

I wonder if we could somehow augment our MT salaries by being spokespeople for these companies. LOL.
Has anyone tried The Bean, abdominal exerciser? Effective? Worth the money?

I dunno....
it sounds good in a Chicken Soup for the Soul kind of way but it just seems like in real life things never work out like that, especially if the kid is emotionally disturbed.
i dunno about that...
my husband is 37 and he's not humanoid! LOLOLOLOL
I dunno . . . . . . .
I just built a 600 sq ft addition on my house that is essentially a big screened porch.  This way the cats can go outside and play and roll in the dirt and dead grass (and then go on the bed, but that's another story) and not roam around the neighborhood and get in fights with the neighbor's cats.
dunno how old you are but I'm pushing 60

BCPs were most definitely available to single women in the USA in the mid to late 1960s.  I, myself, was on the pill in NY and Arizona as a single girl and had no trouble whatsoever obtaining BCPs.  Planned Parenthood and other clinics were making them available. 


The thing about the pill though is the minute you went off it, you got preggers.........immediately!! 


 


I DUNNO, I THINK THERE ARE GROSSER
THINGS TO DO - LIKE TYPE A WHOLE DAY OF ESLs. I THINK I'D RATHER FEED THE SNAKE!
I dunno. Why are women so....sm
Aha! See there? You opened this message all primed and ready to take up arms at some offensive characterization of the entire female gender, didn't you? Admit it! I wouldn't have gotten away with something like that for a minute, would I?

"Men" aren't selfish, sex-crazed, messy, insensitive, or irresponsible...some men (and some women) are. "Women" aren't bitchy, whiney, frigid, clucking, nitpicking, oversensitive, or insecure...some women (and some men) are.

So knock off the male-bashing. It's as ugly, offensive and, frankly, as ignorant as racial or any other form of prejudice and I'm frankly surprised that the rest of you tolerate it.
dunno - ask your md - and study trigeminal
hope you feel better soon!!!! 
dunno-but I do know about seahorses and sarcasm

I dunno - how can I be sure they're really my siblings? : ) nm

I dunno, in 36 years I hadn't done much ESL
before 9 months ago (unless really severe mumblo-American counts) and I've been able to pick them up fairly easily. But I've had a lot of help; lots of sample reports available (and a lot more that I've saved myself, after they've gone through QA), and QA people who are willing to jump up at a moment's notice and assist. And a QA department that understands that "miracle worker" is far, far above my pay grade. :)

So if the OP really likes MT work and is willing to climb the learning curve within a supportive system (which obviously has not been the case in the present job!) it's absolutely doable. Of course, this is a decision only the OP can make.

Having said that... there are always going to be SOME problem dictators. One of my worst is a native English speaker who is just plain lazy about putting all of the syllables into words, and even putting in all the words he probably wants. Fortunately, I work for a company that understands this very well, and they are willing to "ride" the client about "riding" the dictator in question to clean up his act. Garbage in, garbage out.
dunno what state you're in but NEVER was I fined

Well, I did file quarterly for about 3 years but not one time in over 7 years of paying yearly was I ever fined  by the IRS.  I don't really think STATEs have anything to do with it so please ignore my subject line *lol*.......Perhaps you owed or something from prior?  Perhaps not.   I paid in one lump last year an estimated tax upon asking for my first extension ever - and they returned NEARLY all of what I had sent in - I over-guestimated.......by a milestone...


Dunno, but I guess there are many ways to be an abuser/user, huh? nm
