care of my kids, didn't go out, had no money to go out with. I said I could have worked 2 jobs, but chose not to, rather chose to spend some time with my kids.

Fake, but full-sized for the first time
in years.
With so many family members with terrible allergies to real trees (or the spray used on them), it's safer for me to have fake. Plus it might be less tempting to the boys to lift a leg on. We'll see.
Working At Home
For now, you could download a free Express Scribe to play your test files on. You could use the hotkeys instead of investing in a foot pedal until you know what you will need. You also can download Cute FTP. You will at least be set to test. You will need a lot of reference material to work from home. Apply, apply, apply! Your new employer will let you know what you need to work on their account. They vary widely. Good luck!
at home working
How many hours are you trying to work during a day? When my kids were younger I was up as early as 4 a.m., but usually done by 9 and since they weren't in school at that time, they were just getting up about that time of day . . .Late evenings, when Dad is home to watch? I never really sat and tried to do a lot at one time, don't expect too much . . .
Working at Home
Kay, one thing I did was to get an extra computer in my office and let them take turns (grandchildren too) to work. I got child educational programs and got them a little recorder too so they could "transcribe" from tapes they made. They would be very quiet for me in order to get to "work" in the office. They also now know firsthand what it is like to try to listen carefully when there is noise. There are some affordable computers out there for kids and you might even have an old one in your closet. It really helped my grandson who lives here too with his mom because when he started having computer classes for school he was already computer literate. Next year half his school day will be online where he will meet with lots of other kids who are schooled in this manner. I love it!
That's what working at home did to me.
It just doesn't work for me! I felt the company I was working for was honest and the people were nice and as supportive as possible, but I finally had to admit that MT work from home is too one-dimensional for me, and I have more I want to contribute to a company. I wanted more. I changed fields completely. It sounds to me that you are a lot like me and won't feel satisfied working in isolation, doing only one thing. Good luck with your decision!
working at home
One more reason why I'm so grateful I can work at home!
working away from home
where we want to go the only internet they have is wireless. Last time we were there it worked but not all that great so I was hoping to get something and use both.
Are there any problems with air cards? Fast as high speed internet?
tired of working at home
I understand completely. I left a wonderful office job with two weeks paid vacation, paid holidays, paid sick days, and good insurance, and a nice Christmas bonus six years ago to be home with my two children after my divorce. I really miss the adult conversation and the aspects of having an office job. I don't miss the office politics though. My boys are now in college and I'm looking to get out of this business and back to a normal job before long. This job served it's purpose, and I'm greatful I was able to be at home.
anyone get tired of working at home?
i came home to work seven years ago. i had a baby, and couldn't stand to leave him at a baby sitter. he is now 8 and i now have a 4 y/o. but lately i'm feeling like the kids are really taking me for granted (why not, their kids, right??) and sometimes i feel like if i'd get a job outside of the house, i'd have a little more respect and maybe more help around the house. i sometimes miss the "adult conversation" that you would have if you worked at a hospital or office. but when my kids get sick i am thankful i'm here at home and can be with them. i just get so stressed out sometimes! i'm sure i'm not alone. happy holidays
Working at home for 17 years
I've been doing MT at home since my oldest was 2 weeks old. I have pictures of her at 18 months old at my computer with the headphones on, trying to be like Mom. Accidents happen whether you are working, washing the dishes or watching your children like a hawk. It is all worth it for the kids when they come home from school and yell Hi Mom and I am always here for them.
I worry more being home alone working all day.
around here. It's even worse at my mom's house (in a nice neighborhood). You see people who obviously dont live there crusing slowly down the street checking places out. She lives alone in a huge house, and is kind of gullible about some things, so sometimes I do worry she'll open the door to the wrong person.
In fancy neighborhoods, the easiest way to get in and out unnoticed is to be a gardner, since everybody there has them. One time when I still lived at home, I was going for a walk around the neighborhood one afternoon, and a white pickup with a couple guys in it, but oddly, just a single lawnmower in the back, slowly drove down the street and went in one driveway after another. (Long driveways, where you often can't see the house it's so far back off the street). Then I forgot about them.
Well, about an hour or so later, I came down another street, and there were some cops there, and that same truck was being hoisted onto a big tow truck. I told the cops I'd been seeing that truck all morning, and asked if it had broken down or something, and they said no, it was a couple of burglars looking for empty houses.
Time. That's all it takes. I took in a recliner full of smoke and a few years later sm
looks brand new and smells like my own home now. It was really bad with smoke. Same with books. It just takes time. It will eventually go away. Unfortunately, nothing I know works for that without ruining the books.
No babies at home, but still working, only difference
is I don’t have to do the wash, have housekeeper for that and other chores in the house. I would be willing to say a lot of high-powered women CEOs would never ever say they want to work from home so they can be little Miss Housekeeper. If they want to climb that corporate ladder, just how does that sound against the male. No wonder the other gender makes more than us.
ME! Best thing about working at home, not hearing about
boring sports!
Working at home/husband issues - do you think(sm)
Do you think they are jealous because we work at home or that they somehow picture us at home having the day off every day and getting pad for it - so they wonder why the house isn't perfect, etc.? Because I am constantly extremely busy between work and my kids and trying to get things done around the house but I think my husband thinks I should be able to get everything done since I am here. I don't think he was as bad when I worked in an office.
Way too cute. Why we love working from home. nm
that's the thing i love about working at home
x
I did leave MQ, thanks to lack of work started PT with another company and full time yesteday.
.
See why working at home, and even covering some hours of holidays is better than inhouse?
We aren't able to keep track of the other office workers, build up resentment against them. Love that inhouse stuff.
Your post reminds me of all the reasons I love working from home.
Merry Christmas to you also!
I find it to be harder working from home with children who are not in school..
I have a 2 year old home with me all day and believe me it would be much easier to take her to day care and get my work done...
Glad you work at home and not subjecting people to have to pretend they like working with you.

Were you working at the time and
when you starting drawing did you get his full benefits? Where you penalized anything on your regular job, say the gov did not pay you X amount or else you could only work X number of hours like they do with social security before your regular retirement age?
Working now though, doing work I had no time to do - sm
over the weekend, and it is due tomorrow morning 8 a.m.; so working on Christmas unfortunately. But luckly it will only take about 3 hours, but still a drag.
Being tied to my job, working all the time, yet
Used to be able to take a short vacation every couple years, can't do that anymore. Used to ski, hike, horseback-ride, but can no longer afford it. Same goes for eating out, buying clothes new instead of 2nd-hand, going to the theater or the art museum. NADA. Not being able to afford to go visit friends/relatives across the country who aren't going to be around forever. Not having the slightest hope of being able to relax a little when I get old enough to retire. Retirement will never happen. I'm sick of just work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work....
Rainy, cool, dark. Home working with plenty of work. Hubby and kids are sm
picking up toys, taking them to Goodwill. LOVE days like this.
Anyone with an LCD monitor that can tell me how long they last when used for working all the time.
Mine seems to be having problems after about 2 years but used hard every day.
Pantry full and freezer full...but will NEVER eat Spam!
//
Pantry full, 2 freezers full.
Only need to get paper products and fish. I have lots of tuna, Spam, canned chicken, sardines, corned beef hash, etc.
Got our veggie seeds last week.
Stocking up on more canned veggies and fresh veggies, mostly potatoes, as soon as I can. Potaoes last quite a while in our cold room, which is an extra bedroom with no heat. Also want to get extra bread. Love homemake bread, but DH doesn't like it for sandwiches, so I have to get store-bought bread for that. I can still buy bread at my local produce store at 2 for $1.75 and it freezes very well. In spring, it used to cost 2 for $1.25, but that's still cheaper than other places.
I'm not doing this because of what's coming. I'm doing it because I've done it for years, but usually in the fall. This fall I could only buy a few things at a time because DH not working, so I figure another month, I'll be back to normal.
Nothing definite, but since he's home with you most of the time
hopefully you will be able to keep him. Perhaps you can repay your husband the amount he paid for him? Good luck, I hope you can keep your dog.
One time when I was at a Home Depot
I had to use the bathroom. Not for the use you usually hope to only have to do in a public bathroom. I had a sudden need to really go. And go. And Go. Does anybody remember Silly Sand? Okay, so there is this large pile of Silly Sand -looking material in the toilet, the likes and quantity of which I have never seen before. I am so concerned that I hold all paper out so the only thing that will have to go is this strange substance piled high. So with trepidation I try to flush. Alas, it is a low-flow toilet, and all that happens is that the water itself swirls a bit. Nothing else moves. At all. Flush after flush, and the result is the same. NOTHING MOVES. So I take my gift-wrapped wad of paper and throw it out, wash my hands, and leave the scene of the horrible crime, except that I am laughing uncontrollably because it is so unlike me not to flush, but what I tried dozens of times.
I also found it so ironic that some wise guy who orders toilets for Home Depot thinks he is going to save the company sooooo much money, and now I hope the poor cleaning lady calls him up on the phone to explain why LOW-FLOW TOILETS DON'T WORK, nor do they save water when customers flush dozens of times and still can't get them to work.
I agree, best ever this time...was so sad to see Rose go home though nm

split time between home and grandparent's farm
When I got divorced, I left my home town and moved 1000 miles away. Stayed there 2-1/2 years, came back to my home town's neighboring state for 3 years, but back to the neighboring state that was 1000 miles away again...
now I'm back in my home town.
I moved to several different areas in those locales during that time, so I actually moved a total of 9 times in 7 years. I am sick of moving my king size bedroom, but I will probably move again next year, just a mile or so away though. I hope it's the last move!
I think they'll FINALLY send Sanjaya home. Bout time. He should have
think they'll send Haley home.
Buy a home of my own - not a palace, but more of a smallish home on a large piece of land. (nm)

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm
I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago). I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.
In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home. Has anyone done this before? Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house? I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace. I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood. Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside.
Any advice and comments appreciated. Thanks!
Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
I know full well that I was able to...
say "no" to sex at 18 years old, and 17 and 16 and even before that. I knew what sex was and how babies are made. I dated older men and I held my ground. I do believe that all 16, 17 and 18-year-olds know exactly what they are getting into. I think the man is a creep and that he, because of his authority position, had an obligation to stay away from her, but I just can't see two consenting adults having sex as a crime. Inappropriate--absolutely.
Full foil and cut - $100 nm

HAHAHAHA - I too got FULL of myself..sm
Got full of myself when I lost the weight....I had gone from 210 to 158 and really got so full of myself for a period of time...started wearing dresses and heels and all that stuff *LOL*
For the full 45 days!!!! nm
!
Full of Joy Sister Cat!!!
Thanks Dahling!!
Is it a full moon? (nm)
nm
I think she full of baloney
Stranger things have happened, though. You are positive she had a hysterectomy? It just doesn't pass the smell test.
..... she IS full of baloney (duh) nm

You are full of information!
Thanks!
Do you remember when Nick went away to boarding school at something like 7 and came back 19? It's completely crazy but I know they have to do it to keep the story line going. I can't wait to see what he looks like though...Sharon or Nick. Michael's dad, I thought that was a dead issue. I wonder who decided to go ahead with finding him. Here we go with Gloria again huh. lol
I missed today but watched yesterday's online. I'm so glad Victoria got a chance to talk to Sabrina. I'm still hoping Sabrina doesn't kick the bucket but sounds like she will. I wonder how Adam will like step-mommy Niki moving into the ranch...I think that's where things are headed.
You are still full of rage.
Shut up, you say? Tell it to yourself and then, see professional help. A pastor would be a good place to start. Many of them dedicate their ministries beyond the pulpit to domestic violence and abuse. For those who do not feel at home in a church, they have many resources to sliding scale social services, often some of which are free of charge.
Because this is a board full of
professional people who strive to be as accurate as possible in what they do. I just figured they'd want to know. You never know when you're going to be called upon to type that next national security document that needs to reference a Navy SEAL and you'd want to be correct, wouldn't you?
Yes, now I'm being silly.
I'm just saying, she might not know the full story if
she wasn't around until the friend actually died. Perhaps, they had marital problems before the diagnosis. I'm not saying he is or isn't a scumbag, I'm just saying if you had no idea the woman's husband left her until after she had died and you were at the funeral, then you probably don't know much else about her personal life.
Daniel had a home, a very good home...
with someone in my family at one point.
She met her late husband at a club down the freeway from me. It's not a fancy place, like you say.
She does have a real brother though. That was the connection on our part.
I agree, though. It is sad that all this is coming out the way it is. I believe she was a good person...she just had a lot of problems, mainly drugs. What is really sad is that all of this is going to be seen by her daughter one day when she grows up.
She already stated that the garage was full
and that they said they would take them instead. Sometimes you do things like that for family, ya know?
Also, she would most definitely say, "why did you store them near the street where you had other things stolen before and stored yours in a safe place?" That is negligence!
Since their quads were not stolen, only the ones right by the street, it is obvious they acted negligently. She stated that the only things stolen on the property were right near the street before. Why would someone put something that they are storing for someone in the same place? That is negligence.
I have no doubt she would probably tell the OP that they should have cleaned the garage and took care of their own quads, but legally, her sister is at fault.
