Oh, well...I'm a cheapskate and use Supercuts

Don't be so quick to judge Supercuts. sm
The fact is there are bad hairstylists everywhere as much as there are fabulous ones. My sis worked for Supercuts for years , just recently left to start her own biz on the side after taking a cushy county job. She took a huge cliental with her also; she's really, really good at her job. The fact is places like Supercuts do so much more business than smaller salons and so generally those working there have a lot more experience than you might think. My whole family patrons our local Supercuts and most of the ladies there are really very good. There are one or two over the last couple years we have learned are not so good, so we just don't let them cut our hair. Can't beat the prices either.
Lucky at $12, although SuperCuts in mall is also $12-15. Some barbers will cut women's hair, too,

Met through work, but we were 800 miles
apart.  He came for a visit 5 months after we started talking on the phone outside of work and he never left.  We were married 13 days later  - 17+ years ago.   There have been some rough spots, but closer now than ever before. 
I am a few miles away from there. SIL parents

Walk. Two miles a day should do it.

Diane, I'm in NY too --- 2 miles from WTC, but
keep in mind that living in NYC was one thing -- these are people that work at home for their hospitals and didn't know whatsoever! That I find just unbelievable!

Just curious - do you transcribe for a hospital or a service. Don't find too many transcriptionists that can afford to live in Manhattan on a transcriptionist's salary :)
We must be one of the lucky few!

No--I drive 12 miles 2 x a day (roundtrip) just to get them at the bus-sm
I only trust 2 neighbors (ages 40+) to help me when I need it, and that has only been 4 x in the last 3 years. When I was growing up most us were a bit nuts with driving, granted this kid may be quite responsible but why take the chance, you are only talking $3 a day in gas with a 15-mile round trip (7.5 one way), work an extra hour a week if the cost of gas is bothering you.
I would think that owning a vehicle with low miles is a plus - sm
at the end of that 5 years you own the vehicle, versus leasing you don't; and you would owe a huge chunk if you choose to buy it. After 5 years of paying a car off with low miles, you can choose to re-sell and get a better price because of the low miles (big selling point). So whoever fed you the line above is, I think, totally off the mark (or trying to lease you a car).
jonesboro. 80 miles from memphis.

I live about 40 miles from Burnsville NC sm
next county over. If somebody can send me the original info, I will personally turn this into the Yancey County Sheriff's Department. Burnsville is a small town and she will not be hard to track. This kind of stuff goes on down here all the time and people get taken. I wonder if she is putting "work at home" ads for any other type of job out there. My guess is she is. I would love to see this girl pay for this one!
$2.09 in Tappahannock, VA, about $2.26 in Mechanicsville, VA (35 miles South)

drove 80 miles round trip to work for $5/hr...sm

sitting in a metal folding chair at a folding banquet table, banging away on a Selectric in a room full of smokers. This was a service that would UPS cassette tapes out to your home when you started working from home. Obviously this was 25 years ago. After two weeks, the owner let me go and told me he couldn't make money off of me, even at $5/hour. But then I applied at the hospital for a radiology transcription position (because now I had experience!) and they hired me because I was the only one who would work on Saturdays. When I consider what I had to go through to break into the field, makes me laugh when I see newbies fresh out of school with no experience asking for 6 cents a line to work from home...I guess just understand you do what you have to do to break into the field. That goes for every job that is hard to get into.


Have a 1996 Suburban, bought in 02/1999 with 64K miles - sm
now has 184K miles, still going strong. Paid $26K. Have gotten our money's worth on it. Just started making repairs here and there over the last 2 years, new fuel pump, new fitting from radiater to engine, a couple engine seals, water pump, cleaning of fuel injectors. Probably about $2K all together in the last 7 years we have had it, not bad I think, other than regular maintance stuff, i.e. brakes, tires, oil changes, air filters, engine belt, etc. Gets about 15 MPG, 18 sometimes. Thing is a tank and I love it. Had a Blazer before that, though I had to put a lot of $$$ into it over the years I had it (10), about 16 MPG---Going to run the Suburban into the ground, hope to get 250K miles at least out of it. Has a few tics now and then due to age but all in all is in great shape and runs well, and I have made a point of fixing things immediately engine-wise and cosmetically. Go GM, have heard the transmissions last a lot longer (mine is proof of that, 184K original transmission) my husband has a 1990 Ford F-250 that had its transmission rebuild at 90K miles. His truck now has 189K miles on it and shifts rough.
Live in Fort Collins, 60 miles N of Denver, Beautiful!
You can email me and I will answer your questions.  I can't speak for those who live IN Denver, but I know you need to watch out for certain neighborhoods, as you do anywhere you live.  I have a sister who lives SW of Denver, in the Littleton area.  She lives it.  Kathy :)
I ordered a clamp-on one, inexpensive, from Miles Kimball or one of those places.

Not Memphis/NE MS - 75 miles south of Memphis (sm)
I browse the state boards (both MS and TN), but not much action.

Are you a remote hospital employee or work for MTSO?
