No, but it is hard not to fall in love with a house. sm

In Reply to: Thanks everybody sm - passing through

Glad you will be able to back out of this, though.  There will be another house for you, without the previous damage.  good luck.

I challenge you all to host a Halloween/Fall party at your house this year! sm

You will have an eyeball! I mean, ball.


This will be my 1st, usually my sister-in-law does it. I picked up A Taste of Home's Halloween issue and if that doesn't inspire you to do something this fall, then you might be dead...pun intended.


For dessert I am going to make little witches that will make a neat centerpiece. Here's how you do it: Take 16 large marshmallows, oreo cookies, coconut slivers (for the hair that you dye green with food coloring), Hershey kisses and peanut butter cups (miniature) that will be the top of her hat (place candies on top of oreo chocolate cookie (minus one side of cookie and the frosting).  Use pretzels for her broomstick. These things are so cute I can hardly stand it.


2. Spider cupcakes. Use chocolate EVERYTHING and for the legs use 8 small pieces of licorice dangling from the cupcake and anything small and red for the eys (M&M minis) or red icing.


There are tons of ideas and recipes. The main dish will be Witch's Brew Stew and it looks awesome! If you want the recipe, email me. If not, then drop dead.


Oh, and for the kiddies, I will be playing games like pin the stem on the pumpkin and bobbing for body parts (will probably call this game something else), but you fill up a large tin bucket, stain the water black and put things in inside. Each kid takes turns using their hands to try to find 3 things you tell them to find in this nasty mixture of stuff using their HANDS, not mouth.....


So, get your invitations out, dust off your printers and have fun! I'm doing this mid-month, not on Halloween since I am a Christian and we don't celebrate Halloween.

I love fall but it is too short. nm

October! Love the colors of fall
I feel so alive!
Fall is my favorite also - love Football!

okay, so far I want to eat dinner at your house. I'll bring hard ice cream for cobbler.nm

I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.

Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
Going in the summer or the fall? If the fall, you need to be there early enough while the colors

love House... miss it a lot but luv it when I see it... nm

Anyone else love to watch House on Fox?
I love that show
I LOVE Instant Text. No, it is not hard to use.

Love the Hard Way, Starman, Hairspray. nm

Pergo - I have it throughout my entire house and love it!

My heart hurts. I love House.
I've loved the Stacy/House story.  That episode with the kiss in the hotel room while he was on the phone? Man. Can I just say under this cloak of anonymity that I didn't fall asleep on the couch that night. Well, I guess that's beside the point.  I love that show..I love House.  Hugh Laurie is so great in that role.  I really wanted that story line to continue.  I like Sela Ward and I hope she comes back.  That forbidden romance story line is too good to let go.  I think he let her go for more than one reason.  He loves her but he is afraid.  He knows that he can't change and he knows that at some point she will need more, like he said.  He would rather let her go now, back to her husband who I think he likes.  He doesn't want to hurt the guy, even though he's in love with his wife. If he lets her go now, she gets to stay in her marriage.  He knows that if she stays with House, she will lose her marriage, and eventually things will go wrong with House, and they will both be losers in love.  Make sense? 
Love them, though bought a cheapie $300 Proform- hard to use-
it is belt-driven-- Wish I had sprung more $$ on it. Have used the ones at the gym when I was a member, loved them, could do 30 minutes w/o any trouble. Have get to go over 5 minutes on mine at home. Recently got a treadmill ($800 on sale for $600), like it a lot, though ellipital is a lot better for you.
Love in house, hate nationals at home nm

I love Maine! Ever been to the Cliff House in Ogunquit?
The spa is the best!

I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck.  I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them.  It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies.  I feel like I am appreciated.
I love my Electrolux, I am hard on Vacuums and I found Electrolux to be great, it sucks up everythin
X
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal.  The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected.  Many companies will not allow satellite. 
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm
:{
Ugh.... Please don't fall for ....

this boloney!  I firmly believe that WE are creating this explosion in cases of ADHD.  The child is FOUR YEARS OLD and not developmentally ready for "school work."  In my day we went to kindergarten as our first school experience.  The emphasis was learning to be part of a group, socializing appropriately, listening to the teacher, retelling stories, and basically learning HOW to be a student.  We didn't even start reading until 1st grade.  I was reading at 2nd year college level in the 9th grade.   I know that's not how it's done anymore, but it should.  A child that age learns through play.  A few kids pick up reading at 4 or 5, but it shouldn't be forced.  Some kids don't blossom with reading until 2 grade, and it's perfectly okay.  Studies show that children pushed early on academics compared to children who are not pushed are equal by about 3rd grade, showing that the early pushing does nothing long-term towards academic success.  Reading TO your preschooler, providing stimulating play, and opportunities for socialization with other children is all they need.  I would personally find a preschool that has that belief as opposed to pushing the academics.  Your child was a newborn baby 4 years ago and now she's suppose to be doing worksheets and learning to read and do math?  I don't think it's right.


It was 24 yrs this fall, though no all of that is MT nm

Fall is my favorite
Summer is too hot!! Fall is just right and football starts!
Another vote for fall

Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Now that fall is here and I'm having to use heat my
face is dry and itchy.   I've started using a humidifier to add moisture in the air, but I need a lotion too.  I have very sensitive skin too.   I've used several OTC lotions and they haven't helped much.   Looking for a good moisturizer for all over, but mostly for the face. 
Yes, but only after I fractured it off in a fall. sm
Had a Colles fx of the radius, too. Now, if I rest my wrist the wrong way, I feel the ulnar styloid pain. You probably should get yours checked out to see if anything can be done to help. I truly feel your pain!

Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Wow, hair fall???
I have some problems, but sure can't attribute hair fall to MT work?!!! Have that checked out, please!

My problems are: Aches and pains here and there, swollen ankles/feet (sometimes severe), and I do believe my eyesight has changed some in the past few years due to computer usage.
No fall out from me, I agree with you
People that are complaining are the ones from home, started out at home, after graduating from an online school that promised them the big bucks. Get real training (2-year degree), train at a hospital first, get your lines up, and then venture out on your own. I bet that is how the non-complainers on here did it. They were confident in their skills and line count before trying to venture out on their own. If I had done an online school, worked at a national for a year, made 100 lines an hour, I would think this career sucks too! So instead they are here crabbing. If I spent as much time on these boards complaining about the industry, I wouldn't be making any money either. Get over it, quit complaining, and get to work! I didn't even know our industry "sucked" (as so many people think it does) until I came here and read posts. Get over it or get out! It is sooooo getting old hearing about it. Same crap, different day! Can anyone tell me about an online forum where the real professionals are. I can't handle MTStars anymore. Good bye!
I fall into that category
I've been at this over 25 years. In its heyday, I have W2s showing 65-70,000. Yeah, I worked easily 55-60 hours a week, but at least I felt I had something to show for it. I'm putting the same hours at the desk, but only making a third of it now, between the lowered wages and the lack of work. I'm too old to learn an entire newly career (I'd be dead by the time I finished any lengthy course), nor do I make enough money to pay for anything; most of the time I have a hard enough time keeping the utilities on, let alone the money for classes of any sort.

I don't where the $31,000+ is being made for an 8 hour shift 5 days a week, but please point me in that direction.
How much did your income fall?
NM
Ever heard the old saying if you dont believe in something, you'll fall for anything? while you sit
people are having true experiences that make them have hope and belief that there is something more out there.  With that attitude of yours, you're going straight to limbo!
Kids don't fall out of the sky, sweetcheeks. nm

never thought I would say it, but can't wait for FALL

It is so hot here in Ohio.  The temperature can be in the high 80s or 90s but with the humidity, it puts the heat index up in the hundreds.  You can't even walk outside without feeling like you can't breath.  Can't wait for fall with the cooler air and the falling leaves.  We are holed up in the house with the curtains closed and the shades drawn and the air cranked.  Hot where you are?


Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?

Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....


Did you just fall off the turnip truck?
Of course it's a scam. Grow up.
Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears.
But give it a shot.

Sure if you have a husband to fall back on!
I wouldn't be able to raise my children on my salary alone. We would have to live at the Salvation Army!
June to October? More in fall

Son will start Princeton in the Fall. nm

Legends of the Fall with my cousin's
Brad Pitt (when he was a HUNK pre-Jolie, obviously). 
Notebook and Legends of the Fall....nm

I think we fall more into the Fred and Wilma

Flintstone category.


LOL--Agree. I fall asleep sometimes too..
just nod right off. I go back and listen, and I've always typed it correctly.
45 to 70 minutes, if I don't fall asleep. nm

I actually did fall asleep once, and kept typing.
When I semi-woke up at the end of the report I sent it in without extra proofing...had to do some fancy explaining the next day!  Now when I get that way, I take a 20-minute nap (set a timer).  It really does help for a couple of hours. 
Is it accurate that Fall is a slow time for MTs? sm

For the last two years I have been doing Urgent Care/ ER work and have not noticed any slow down but I am now doing multispecialty clinic work and I keep hearing about a big slow down.  Can anyone shed some light on the subject for me.  TIA


Admin, how do you get the snowflakes to fall on this site? SM
I help administer a website (not MT-related) and would love to have this effect. I've seen it other places too. How do you do this? Thanks.
Hmmm.what's going to happen within the next 5 years? Is the sky going to fall and

like the dinosaurs, wipe out all the MTs?  Is a meteorite going to hit?  MT's not going anywhere.  Get over it people.


jobs don't fall off trees, have you noticed?
and the state labor board is like AAMT (s/b IAMT, Indian Assoc of Med. Trans.) not REALLY for the employee, if you know what I mean. Have they done anything for you?
