I think this post was put here to brag and incite flames.

In Reply to: Quick question or poll - What does one consider "good money" for weekly bring home income? sm - ExpMT

You know from history that every time the big money makers in this field boast about how much money they make in how little time that the thread goes downhill fast. First, somebody doesn't believe. Then someone is offended at the insinuation of lying. Then someone says other people could do it, too, if they were any good at MT. Then everyone is defending themselves and name calling. Why start it? Especially during the week before Christmas? Do you really need to rub people's noses in their lousy paychecks when some of us don't have enough money to even get gifts for the people in our lives or pay our bills because there was no work this pay period? People who need to tell others how much they make suffer from low self-esteem and misplaced priorities. There are more important things in life than money.

They can brag all they want.......
I just don't want to have to pay to rebuild and rebuild for them out of my taxes. If they can't afford to rebuild on the beach, then don't build there in the first place. Heck, my mother's insurance company that she's paid into for 50 years doesn't even want to replace her roof in total torn up from the hurricane.
She just wants an opportunity to brag about all the
If the hubs were to walk out on her and leave her with no alimony, no nuthin', I wonder how rah-rah she'd be about having to sell most of what she's got just to keep a roof over her head.
Money brag or is this normal now?
Why might someone might feel the need to tell you how much money they make when you did not even ask?!  Insecurity, perhaps?  This happened to me recently via e-mail and I have no idea how to respond, if at all. 
Many of us are "lucky" however, we don't brag at the expense of others. nm

Gotta brag: Just found out my son earned... (see message)
the Presidential Fitness Award for the third year in a row, and my daughter earned the National Award!
No, I am not trying to brag. I just wanted to know if others who live in my region are charging app
I did speak to another local MT this evening and she is charging .15 per line. That is all I wanted to know, what was the norm for this area and if I was overcharging.

what does the yellow flame next to msg mean? I see it is on the "let's rebel msg"

You aren't alone. I have wondered too what that was. I guess now we know. LOL.
I asked you to SHARE HOW - not brag. That's why folks like YOU aren't credible.
So sad that you should be so pompous.  That's why I have to question HOW these #s are honestly achieved. 
I think the confusion is that there are two flames!
One: A flame picture shows up to the left of a *hot* post or one that has been viewed I think more than 200 times.

Two: To be flamed, is an expression, like if you post something and a bunch of people post back in disagreement etc. It has nothing to do with the other.

I got a kick out of the fact that you thought you were being *flamed* (flame #2) for your post!

I'm pretty sure that's accurate and hope it helps!
What do the little flames alongside
xx
Are you talking about the flames?

If so, those indicate a "hot topic", meaning it has more than 200 or 250 views, that's all.


Hey Susan..I don't think it really caused any flames.

No flames here. The neighbor was definitely in the wrong. sm
I am a dog owner, too, and mine do not go outside of my yard without being on a leash and I live in the country.
"facility's" preference before the flames start lol

If I had that high of an IQ, I wouldn't be doing this for a living. Please, no flames. NM

That is hysterical. When I say flames I mean "no mean posts to me." It's just a saying. nm

Please don't expect answers; bound to start flames
Every job is different, every company is different, every account is different, every MT is different.  You are trying compare apples to oranges and it just starts a huge flame war.  No one believes the big buck people anyway so it's not even worth posting.
It means hot topic (flames). After a certain number of people

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line.  Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with.  At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone).  At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight.  It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat.  Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are.  You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents??  They sound whacked.  Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post

my post did not all post in the subject, my apologies...
I think you can get the idea.

thanks.
Excellent post! I copied this post and...
am going to show it to my shrink so he can understand my frustration with my new "profession!" By the way, how much you wanna bet he pulls in 300$ an hour and has two years of schooling on me! Hmmmmmmm. Okay, you flamers, don't tell me to go back to school...I am thinking about it. Hmmmm

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

what mean post made you post your post
Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

Don't they post that information when they post the

Thank you for your post
You posted it like it is.  What about this young boys parents??  What was he doing out at 2-3 in the morning??  What kind of parent would allow that??  No where have these posters who are blaming the victim even tried to put blame on this boy.  Amazing.  I hate to say it but the old cliche is true.  very few women stand together or help each other, the claws come out and they attack each other.  This young boy has told several different accounts of what happened that night.  My take is that they put a date rape drug in her drink, as some of her friends said she was acting strangely.

that's all I can do regarding this post-

Yes, we see that. However, this post was done before her post.
Was there even a need for your post?
Your post really says it all!

Best post all day. Thank you. (nm)

is this post from JMO ?

First of all, I can post here if I want. Second, SM
it's not necessarily having a "unique ability to spot a loser right away." Too many women have baby rabies and don't care whose sperm they get, as long as they get that baby. Then, when daddy's true colors come out, it's too late. THEN they so very often breed with them AGAIN. What the hell is wrong with these women? Then then end up "single mothers" with a giant chip on their shoulder, expecting the world to make up for their bad choices.

Yes, dads die. But from what I see 95% of single mothers got that way by having kids with the wrong men.

see, 1600 or 1700 lines in 8 hours.  But I can spend 3 or 4 hours of really doing nothing but typing and do 1000 lines.  I shouldn't take 8 hours to do 1600.  I should be able to 2000.  I find that I get on this board, zone out, get up a lot, etc., after I reach my 1000.  That is what I need to work on!
maybe no one knows anything else to post! nm
