North & South Florida are radically different...
I grew up in the Miami area and agree with all of the negative posts here. It was always hot  and humid with lots of BUGS! There was maybe 6 weeks of pleasant weather in the winter.
I've been living in northern Florida for many years and love it. It is like a whole different state than south Fla. We do get hot and humid summers but that weather lasts about 4 months or so. We have a couple of months before and after summer where it is hot but not unbearable. Then the rest of the year is gorgeous. We get hard freezes a few times in the winter and the leaves change color (December and January) here. We experience the seasons without snow (once every 15 or 20 years) and have ice and frost only occasionally. Definitely wear coats and sweaters. Instead of palm trees everwhere, we live in a forested area and have oaks, maples, elms, etc as well as the pines. We are inland a bit but the beach is about 30 to 40 minutes away. Being inland, I never worried about hurricanes before. I just don't know any more though. These last 2 years were awful. Anyway, I'm rambling. Good luck with your move and I hope it is well north of south Florida and Orlando.
Way to go!!! You are blessed.
Wish everyone could be that appreciated.
Those who have both are very blessed! nm

God has blessed me greatly too!!
Congratulations on being so blessed.
I work for a national. I don't make $35 an hour, but that's okay, too. I pretty much enjoy my job, I love being at home, have a good supervisor and feel blessed to be able to choose to work from home. I am glad for you, though, and wish you the best.
I could not have been blessed with a more wonderful
father. He is a good, loving, Christian man. Worked hard all his life to take of his wife and 3 daughters. He is now 80 years old and I can still call on him whenever I need him. I live across the street from my parents and have sort of become the "parent" now in that I watch out for them and they, in turn, watch out for me. I am so blessed. 
If you were "privileged and blessed" ...sm
I certainly envy you....you're 1 in a million. Most would not feel that way. This is just too tough a question as there are so many variables. I know my decision is coming soon, and I just hope I make the one I can live with. I actually bought a house with 2 living areas with that in mind but.....as the time approaches and she becomes more and more obstinate and difficult to handle, it's a very scary thought. I just pray she goes in her sleep still healthy.
Consider yourself very blessed to be making
8 cpl and only an MT since January. I have been an MT for about 7-1/2 years and working for the same well-known national company for 6 and still only make 8 cpl. I have taken on a part-time job in a completely different field to make extra money and am even contemplating making the other job fulltime and working even less than I do now the national. I don't know of any what to increase your earnings as an MT. 
I agree - blessed
I agree with the positives. I too make awesome money (3-4K) per month and besides that have been able to watch my children grow up and be here when they get home from school. It is less stressful on our family life and allows more time to spend with my husband at night. I too do not have to buy clothing, minus the jeans to go into the office to pick up work, and do not have to worry about when the kids are sick, can still work, etc. It has been an extreme blessing in my life, and I will do it as long as possible.
I don't think there are many jobs where you can make great income, have flexible scheduling, wear jeans to work or work in pajamas, and make dinner all in the "regular work day." Not to mention I type outside in the summer by the pool, great idea!!!! Makes for a nice office!!!
Blessed in many ways here as well.
If we sit back and count the many good things that have come I would have to agree they far outweight the "bad" things. My kids were off all this week from school. I went to pick-up work and the office manager says to me "Your children are off all week from school?" I said, "Yes due to the holiday on Monday and then conferences all week." She says, "Well I guess that's okay for you since you DON'T WORK" as she's handing me a stack of "work". She goes on to say "But what about all of the other mother's who have to work?" What do they do for daycare?" I said, "Well, I guess it puts those mother's in a very tight spot?" Hmmmmm..... Funny the perceptions people have of us work-at-home transcriptionists. It is almost like if you do it from home it cannot possibly be work. Let it be known that I love what I do, but I still consider it very much contributing to society. By the way, thanks to your sister that factory stays doing what it should be doing, and thank your sister for ME personally for putting in the time and showing that she cares by going to work each and every day no matter how tired she gets! Thank you for sharing....
You are blessed, for sure! Enjoy it! nm

Count yourself blessed....sm
A long time ago, before I ever started with national companies, I could have written your post almost word for word. I felt that I "needed" to go with a national company because it seemed to be the thing to do. If what you are doing works for you, then by all means keep on keepin' on. You are one of the fortunate ones who likely will not be affected by all the new "technological advances" that MT has made.
You are blessed. Congrats to you and hubby

I was blessed with long lean....
muscular legs, which I still have, even at 45. I can sit cross-legged like a kindergartner listening to a story, BUT, lately I can't get up without hobbling around like a newborn horse for 5 minutes. It's like this horrid painful stiffness. What the heck is it?
and a bountiful blessed Thanksgiving to YOU as well. nm

Wow..you guys are blessed beyond belief! nm

Yes, blessed, but that doesn't mean you have to be stomped on
and treated unfairly. A person can understand and acknowledge that they are blessed by having their job, etc., but that doesn't mean that when situations become unbearable that they can't stand up for themselves. No one said they didn't want truth. The definition of truth is honesty, not nasty comments, verbal abuse, calling a person "manipulative", telling her she has "no right to complain", belittling her feelings, concerns, telling her that her feelings don't matter, calling people's opinions "absurd", all of these are quotes from posts and none of that is TRUTH. One person even posted she should "stop griping". She has a right to do so. Yes, you have a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to belittle her feelings and thoughts and talk to her like she is trash. Someone comes for advice and encouragement and you treat them like dirt? The definition of truth is honesty, "sincerity in action, character, and utterance". The only truth we have seen from this thread is the truth that some of you have not one ounce of good character. Opinion does not always equal truth. If any of you have children, I hope that you don't teach them to talk to other in this manner. What a disgrace!
WOW! What a great MTSO. You are blessed!

Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl

Consider it done! Jenny is blessed to have a friend like you. Best wishes to all. nm

Those who are so insecure that they make things up are not blessed, however.

Sure - let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed us with, s
Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, welfare fraud, illiteracy. The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare any day!
If you really look at it, Proverbs 31, that woman was blessed and amazing. She sm
did it ALL! She considered a field and bought it (on her own), she provided jobs, food, clothing for her maidservants, she was found at the markets early in the morning *(buying food and things for the home, I suppose). To me, this chapter tells me that as women we can do it all if we put our mind to it and that God expects a lot from us. I think about her "buying" the field to plant her harvest (no mention of husband/male whatsoever) and that helps me know God's will for my life with regard to work and homemaking, taking care of the children.
She was considered blessed. If we took better care of our bodies then we would have the amount of energy this woman had.
I turn on the news and realize that I am safe and blessed.

Merry Christmas RadGuy!!! And to ALL of you have a WONDERFUL & BLESSED holiday!!
Wow. After reading all of these sad situations and posts I actually feel pretty blessed. I did sm
Have my car repoed about 8 years ago and it was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I've since come out of a rut with me working and having a husband who works FT. We are blessed. We have definitely struggled with our bank acct. being overdrawn to the tune of 700.00 before, but we luckily came out of that and it only happened once. To everyone who is in a dire situation, may you find grace and peace in God. Believe in miracles. Don't give up. Good luck to you and I mean that in all sincerity.
