I know what ya mean April
I left my now 13yo with a babysitter for 2 years while I worked in house. Now with my 2yo twins I have been at home with them the entire time. It is well worth the *bad* stuff IMO. There are crappy things about any job....why not deal with the crap at home, with your kids. LOL :)

I don't, but my puppy does. Not for me, sm
but I think they look nice if not taken to extremes.  Just be sure the "artist" is legitimate.
Since April 1978

and the other 8, I pay all taxes in April only...nm

Actually no insurance until April 1


Our cat, who has been missing since April
He is a little thin, but otherwise looks to be in good shape.  The best news is our new dog (stray -somebody dumped her on the highway by our house) who loves people/hates every other living creature, just walked up to him, sniffed him, and paid absolutely no more attention to him. It's a good day
21 years in April :)
3 years multi-specialty doc office
4 years radiology
14 years acute care (11 working from home)

9.78 cpl

Good luck!
IRS never penalized me, pay once in April

100% for us this past April. nm

Puppy update from below - sm

Thanks everyone for your advice and support.


I was a little surprise this morning when the neighbor guy knocked on my door.  I was expecting to be read the riot act or something but got just the opposite.


Turns out that the guy is the girls father but the woman who I assumed was her mother is actually the aunt (father's sister).  His wife died in a car accident 3 months before they moved here.  The girl was in the car with her mother and younger brother.  Dad was out of town on business and it took them almost two full days to find him because the girl was in shock and refused to speak for almost a month after.  Both her mother and her baby brother (3 years old) died in the accident.  The aunt is living there to help him with the daughter he said the girl has had severe psychological problems since the accident. 


He was very apologetic for going off the deep end yesterday and that he normally is a rational man.  I really felt bad for the guy.


He also told me that he appreciated us letting his daughter come over and play before but would understand if she was not welcome back.  Said that his daughter completely withdrew from her friends at her old school and she is still in grief counseling twice a week.  Playing with my kids was the first time since the accident that she had made any effort at socializing. 


I never would have suspected that she had been traumatized this way.  She was quiet and didn't say much about her family but gave no indication that this had happened. 


The guy was here long enough to basically pour out his life history and I truly felt sorry for him and even more for his daughter. 


I'm still going to be very watchful for now but there's room for a second chance after him having made the effort to clear the air and explain things.  I think I will just sit on this for a few days and then invite the three of them over for dinner in a few days and try to start over.


I may be a sucker I know.   I would rather have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and if we can do this, well, it would be better for everyone.


 


 


 


 


How was your puppy and your trip?
Been wondering.  Hope everything went well.
I had a daschund that did when she was a puppy,
until her tail got caught in my foot pedal and it took me a while to get out.
Problems with puppy

My dog Snoopy is scared of my father. We ahve had her for almost two years now and whenever my father comes into the room, she cowers and runs into my room. She stays in here all day long while my sister and I are at school, and my mother is at work. But the wierd thing is, that at night, she is his best friend. She doesn't show any signs of nervousness or anything. Any suggestions? Does she have some sort of a mental problem?


Yes - she was in jail for this activity I believe in April -

Administrator knows about her and just last week pulled a post she placed for a C phone.  I think we just need to get her name out there so people are aware of what's going on.


 


Went through the same thing last year, April, sm
with my 14 year old Cocker. Strange how it all happened. While I was suffering my own loss, the poster, Laur, was doing the exact same thing at the exact time with her dog. I truly know what you are going through. I have since gotten another Cocker but he will never replace the one that I lost, even though I love him dearly. they are so different in many ways and so alike in others. My kids laugh because when he gets to barking too much, I call him the other dog's name. I'll never forget her.
My gosh. You and puppy are VERY lucky.
Definitely keep that kid out of your yard now. Good luck!
So glad you had the video going or they would have taken your puppy. sm
Moral of the story:  Don't let your puppy play with kids unsupervised.   Look into puppy class/puppy kindergarten in your area.  Vet's office should be able to tell you where they are.  They are fantastic for socializing puppies with other dogs, kids, and adults.  Just completed class with my puppy.  Sad to think how many good pups have been put down due to behavior of naughty kids/adults too.  So happy this worked out for you and your kids.
I'm sorry, but why would you refer to ?'s about ones puppy or what's for dinner
Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think?
Only use Purina - my puppy loves it! nm

or by your conception, you could feed your son to your puppy.

Revising that puppy tonight!
That is what I thought that I might do, I just needed a nudge. Thank you!

I am determined not to give this career up! I just might have to give up the company I work for. (big loss since I haven't had any work and they are dodging my calls, e-mails, IM's, etc)

Thanks again for the pep talk and the feedback. I needed that. -M
Rule of thumb in the NE is October & April when

the time changes. Daylight Savings starts in April and Standard Time in October. It always works for me. Change all the clocks and change all the batteries.


For those who haven't done so yet, though, better get changing.

Please keep the puppy away from that little girl. I don't like the sound of it. Good for you sm

with the camera.  Keep that video for a long time!  People's memories have a way of fading. 


Shelties are the sweetest, gentlest dogs, but their instinct is to nip feet in an attempt to herd.  Have fun with your new sweetie! 


Good luck, but if it was me, I'd keep the puppy away from the little girl sm
when she comes to dinner.
Get the April 2006 Consumer Reports magazine...sm
It gives you a rundown on all vehicles as well as which ones have held up well and which ones haven't over the years. It's in the stores now or your local library should have a copy you can look at for free. :o)
To Dog's Day Puppy MT - please read my post below! Creepy flowers.
I didn't want it to get buried in the old thread below, because I'm really worried about you.  It must have just been me, but when I read that you found the flowers on your steps, and from your own garden, it just gave me the creeps.  Don't know why, but it sure did.  She (someone?) been's sneaking around your yard, and though it looks like a good intention, I still find it unnerving.  PLEASE be careful! I'm not the paranoid type, but something just doesn't sit right with me about those flowers...
I'll be watching Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!

M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P
:)
1 month and you?
A month - and you?
We have had it for a month. All 5 of us
at one time or another tested positive for Strep. Only got well after antibiotics. But it lingers and flares up for weeks. Our entire town has it, and all for weeks and weeks - actually since Halloween.
If it has been less than a month,
you're probably still on probation, which works both ways. I would review the policy and speak to a supervisor before they invest any more time in training, etc. If you're professional and polite, it will work out.
Since one never knows whom they'll encounter down the road, try to make a graceful exit. Good luck.
I'm 30. 31 next month....
See update below. 
a month...
I type 24 hours a week. I am new though and only get paid 7 cents a line right now. Would love to make more too!
$9,500 per month
Oh, I don't like to post my earnings here.  It is such personal information.  And I have you all beat cuz I make 19 cents per line.
My 18 month old was saying....

A month? I do!

how is $288/month better than $57/month?

I got one about a month ago.
It's been all right so far. It was not my first choice, but I needed a laptop in a hurry and didn't want to spend a lot, and Gateways were on sale at Best Buy, so that's what I got. If I had had more time, I would have chosen a Dell or HP, but the Gateway seems all right. A colleague mentioned that his son's school uses Gateway laptops and have been happy with them, so it's probably a safe choice, if you can find one at the right price.
One month
I took one month off, but wish I would have taken a little longer.
I have been looking for about a month
and finally I got 2 offers, but 1 company I've heard nothing about and the other I've heard good and bad things about. I really need to be working and don't know what to do. It's a bad time for everyone it seems.
as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

Is it just me? Started DQS at MQ last month

and although I've read over and over that MTs that start on DQS start loosing lines, I swear my production has gone up.  For the first couple of weeks, it stayed a little less than normal, then I was moved onto a NEW acct on DQS and I'm always a little amazed how many lines it says I've managed to squeeze out.


Don't get me wrong--not happy about many things going on with this company, and I'm a little nervous.  I'm just a mere SE with not much say in anything.  But the line thing, it's been OK for me.


I agree, especially with a 6 month f/u. SM
Can you call the office and ask the doctor call you back to explain the findings? 
Thanks. You know, we have been OUT OF WORK for over a month.

the moment is hard.


And, ha ha, nothing with MQ is fast anymore anyways.  I bet I haven't made over 120 lines an hour in 3 months.  I get bad reports nonstop.  NONSTOP. 


It would have been decent of them to have said it was an option instead of pretending like it was mandatory.  Especially since they know we are broke out here from having no work.  And believe me they know we have had no work.  


Oh well, just another reason why I can't stay in MT after all these years.  Why do I want to keep "giving" it away. 


I adore it. Have had it about a month...
...and it's now the only keyboard for me. I've always used ergo keyboards, but this one has totally negated the pain that I'd get even from those. I use the "booster" part that goes in the front--which seems to be the key, along with the more canted angle of the board. Thank you Microsoft!
Well, I actually pay close to $700 a month..
for health insurance, so wouldn't affect me much. The company will still be based in Houston though. They just have another location in Florida. The gas sounds promising. I was wondering how much for food. How much for bread, milk, etc. Just to get an idea. So far, it just sounds like the homes are what is real expensive there. The gas is comparible to Houston. How much do you pay for home insurance per year? In Texas, the ratio is usually something in the range of you buy a house for $140,000, your monthly bill would be around 1,400 for everything, taxes included. The homes here going for around $130,000-$160,000 look comparable to the homes ranging $260,000-$300,000 there. That is a huge difference.
Only been there a month, but have not ran out of work yet.. more than enough.
Maybe it depends on your account. I have only worked on one account and this one has plenty of work. I have not ran out at all.. usually, the account is even a little behind..
I have a 9yo shih tzu and an 9-month-old
Lab/retriever mix. Beautiful babies!!
