Running of the bulls? nothing but bull
This is once again an example of senseless slaughter of a poor defenseless animal. Shame on you Spain, for allowing this as well as bullfighting to to go in this day and age. Any one who gets thier jollies watching animals suffer is a deeply disturbed individual and I believe this says alot about our society and where we are and where we are going. And we call ourselves civilized? How different is this from throwing the Christians to the lions in ancient Rome? ITs just reversed, only the animals are getting thrown to the humans.

Lucky thing for me my MD is in the office tomorrow morning, so I made an appointment for tomorrow.
If it is strep, I'll have her give me a shot of penicillin. That's what I usually do for strep. My stomach can't hardly handle taking antibiotics. I end up with vomiting and diarrhea which makes me feel even worse!
Thing is, I work for a hospital and we already have one girl off indefinitely for medical reasons. A couple of ladies didn't log on until late today because we had thunderstorms in the area. And we are way, WAY out of TAT for OPs and Discharges. So, I feel kind of bad taking a sick day. My supervisor is so stressed. She's been begging us to work OT for the last couple of weeks. How can I call her and tell her I'm sick?
I'm halfway through my shift anyway. I'll be all right. The Motrin is really helping and then I can take it easy all weekend.
Thanks for listening.
In general business're running slower than usual but running. NM

That's bulls**t!
You who are holier than thou, how many single mothers do you think have been created because of 911? The Irac war? Cancer? Divorce (my case) because we made a bad choice, and don't tell me you've never made any mistakes. The vast majority of single mothers aren't in their situation by choice. And yes, it is a hard job, so excuse us if we complain just a little. But don't acuse of us of playing a "single mother card" because that's just stupiid. Why, oh why, do we have to put up with this troll over and over again?
pit bulls
I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved pet and I do hope those dogs are caught. Unfortunately these dogs have been in the hands of many abusers/handlers and taught to fight. My daughter has a very sweet pit bull and two children, but she taught her dog to be gentle and she is good with their other dog also. Just recently a man in Massachusetts was arrested for animal abuse. He was caught in the backyard of his house with a pair of scissors and he cut off his pitbull puppy's ears to make him look more intimidating, how sad is that, he will face a 5,000 fine and jail time and his dogs taken away from him. The vet said the puppy is doing fine now and will be put up for adoption along with his brother.
I was in a store once and at the check out there was a book called "There are no bad dogs, just bad owners." How true is that?
We have a doberman for 10 years and they are considered to be a bully breed, but she was a good dog and we socialized her and would not let her get away with any aggressive behavior.
It is so sad to see all these poor pit bulls multiplying and living with these ignorant people who want to make money by teaching them how to fight, feeding them gun powder, etc. No wonder insurance companies will not insure you if you have this breed. These dogs have come from tiny puppies and grown into monsterous dogs and it is so sad as they mutilate people, and then end up being euthanized. When you own a dog you have to be responsible and keep them in a good environment and not teach them to be aggressive.
Labradors are wonderful family dogs and I know you will miss him and I am glad your other dog was not killed by the bullies. I hope they catch them soon and the people who own them should be locked up also.
that would be SIX bulls only....nm
pit bulls in Boston
If you live in Boston and own a pit bull, you and the dog have to go to a police station and have a picture taken of you together and get a permit to keep the animal. Too many horror stories like yours. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet.
I already run with enuf bulls on the job. nm
There would be two dead pit bulls in my neighborhood
If this happened to me. What if this was a child. I can't believe no one does anything about this in your community. 
pit bulls killed Maltese
I am so sorry about your puppy. I saw a pit bull attack a German shepherd in our off-leash park. The owner showed up right after the police -- I and the shepherd's owner were screaming, "Call 911" -- and he gave a fake name and address. He had another loose pit bull, too. Then another of my dog-walking acquaintances said she saw a pit bull kill a dog in that same park and the owner then proceeded to kill the pit bull by bludgeoning him/her. I read that one of every two dogs killed at our animal shelter is a pit. I have a neighbor who drove 1000-1500 miles, to a breeder's place in California, to get a pit bull to protect his wife, that the breeder claimed was completely gentle, just looked scary.
how awful for you!! Pit bulls not allowed
.
That is awful. It is sad that pit bulls are bred....
to be this way. I only wish your yard would have been dog proofed and this wouldn't have happened to your dog. I know you tried to fix the fence, but apparently it wasn't fixed. I would hire someone to fix it once and for all or dig down a couple feet and put chicken wire or plywood to stop them from digging and going under. My sister did this around her chicken coop to keep the coyotes out and it worked. I have two labs and I would never ever allow them to get out.
I really am sorry for your loss and it is horrible. I do feel, though, as responsible pet owners that we all should keep our animals in our own yards whether it is a lab or a pit bull. I'm very sorry.
Have to disagree. Pit bulls have been bred
to be fighting dogs - it is in their blood, just as racing and running is in thoroughbreds blood. I absolutely adore dogs, but would never trust a pit bull, no matter whose it was or how good it had been. You never know when the prey drive will be turned on, or the fighting mode. Traits and characteristics are bred into dogs, and pit bulls have long been abused by breeders for these very characteristics. Then the pups generations later get into the general public, and yes, they have instincts to fight that they often cannot control. It is not the dogs' fault at all, but it is 100% human fault - for over-breeding this killer instinct into them, and for not keeping them under constant supervision. I am so sorry for your loss - we have had several near misses as well, and have a new neighbor with a rottie mix who has already killed several dogs and cats - and by jumping over his own fence and attacking. At least they forewarned us, but we could tell by the maniacal barking and the noise of this dog attacking its own fence to get over it at us. Again, so sorry for your loss. What a horrific experience. At least you still have Flash. Poor Flash. Poor Shadow. 
Our next door neighbor breeds pit bulls
and the new mother pit bull gets out of their fence after the owners go to bed. She comes over here and jumps at my windows and doors (I have two small dogs). She wags her tail like she is friendly and barks to get in. A vet lived in this house before I did. I won't open the door though I feel she may be friendly. It scares me that she gets out of their yard and you see all the small pit bulls out during the day.
I am so so sorry for what happened to the OP's lab. I feel that they should ban the breeding of pit bulls. Too many horrible things have happened with this breed of dog.
My husband was attacked as a small child by pit bulls...
and he still owned two of them when I met him. This is my second marriage and I have two children (4 and 7 at the time). I refused to bring my kids to his house with the dogs there. He eventually found homes for them. One ended up being put down because it attacked someone and the other had to be put down later for killing the family cat. These were dogs my husband "trusted." Never...never would I allow my children or animals around pit bulls. It is sad, but like you said it is instinct from years and years of breeding for that purpose. So sad for all.
Having one put on tomorrow...
after many years of thinking about it and finally finding the right picture. I know it's going to be uncomfortable, but I'm ready to get it done.
Looks like tomorrow is going to be
a good one too!
And tomorrow is 6/7/6, so what. nm

We can also die tomorrow...
I buy what I want when I want. Credit card bills can't take your house. Your credit score goes down and they hound you to death, but that's nothing. I say live it up! No, we didn't purchase the larger home because I didn't want to have to clean it! We do have 2 brand new vehicles though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lovin' it!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what I work for everyday, not so I have to do without. I do "with!!!!!" I live and love and spend every day doing what I want to do and when I want to do it..... Well, I guess I gave away the fact that I'm an IC with no restrictions or limitations. Hubs works and makes decent money, but even if I didn't have his income, we'd be just fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Tomorrow is registration. First day Aug. 5 E.TN
I'm ready
Tomorrow will be brighter! nm

job interview tomorrow ... what do you think?
Hi all ... I'm going to a local hospital tomorrow for an interview. The job is in the laboratory. It's a f/t position where half the day you do pathology transcription and the other half secretarial work. It's mon-fri, 9-5.
This is in New York (the suburbs) actually, about 1/2 hour north of NYC. I have 13 years of medical records transcription experience, and prior to that for 5+ years worked as a secretary to a medical director.
How much of a salary should I expect ? Thanks!
JoJo
Anyone going out of town tomorrow?
I'm going to Cincinnati 2C my sisters! Yikes! Wish me luck...
Tomorrow is NEW YEAR'S EVE!
RU going 2 party like its 1999? Get totally plastered, watch balls drop, etc?
Thanks for your replies. I go to the doc tomorrow.
Find out more tomorrow.
I was told "full benefits" except dental (which my husband has), but I will get full details tomorrow during my interview. I haven't worked outside the home in so long; I think I am afraid to go back out there. Seems like a good offer from a large cardiology practice. I was told "starting at $15.00" so may have opportunity for increase there which I have never had at home.
How about tomorrow night???
e-mail me or post and let me know what time is good for everyone! I am in.
I could give up cable tomorrow sm
I seriously only keep it for DH. The kids are fine without much TV and so am I. The only time I watch anything is when I ride my bike on the trainer or walk on the treadmill.
My favorite show of all time was Emergency! but I have most episodes on tape to watch that.
No biggy, will come up with a good one for tomorrow!!!
Thanks for having a sense of humor. Have a good night!!
Short note..more tomorrow
Hi, I am just wondering if the psychologist had any clue as to whether or not the child is ADHD, but I would bet this child has MULTIPLE diagnoses. My daughter, now 17 years, is ADHD, and I feel your pain. My daughter is a "poster girl for ADHD" according to the school counselor, and I must agree!! Even at that, she does not have as many problems as this little girl you describe. I am so sorry I don't have more time ... I HAVE TO GET MORE LINES IN ...AUGGGGGG!!!! I will try to post tomorrow. Anyway, there are some that will try to tell you no little girl could cause that much trouble. Not true!! Been there. Hang in there.
Stamps go up tomorrow to 39cents. nm

Hey, MQA! Can't talk until tomorrow...under the whip...
of *you know who* right now. (Working on time clock.) But tomorrow will post up at top of this forum. Yes, that PT office I mentioned DOES use paper and sticky notes! More tomorrow....hi ho, hi ho, its back to work I go !
I'm calling Terminix tomorrow....
I found another one last night, making that 4 in less than a week. Yuck! Funny thing is, the one I found last night was really slow and sickly. My BF thinks it's because the bathroom was cool because the air was on, so I told him let's freeze them out! lol Anyway, I'm calling for pest control. I can't take em.
I am also having a mammo and ultrasound tomorrow...
I posted last week about pain and a spontaneous bloody nipple discharge on one occasion. I had a mammo a couple of years ago for the same pain but no spontaneous discharge. No palpable lumps either time, but I am with you about the pins and needles thing! The radiologist read my films before I left the last time as well, so when I left I felt like I was walking on air!
Good luck tomorrow and keep us posted. I will say a prayer for you tonight!
I have peer interview tomorrow.
I am interview for an in-house position. I had the interview and a week later I was called for the peer review. Never been on a peer interview and don't know what to expect...any ideas? I plan to just be myself just like in the interview.
Tough line requirements (1500 line/day) but I'm optimistic. I hope to gain tips with short cuts to qualify for incentive programs, etc. if I am chosen for the job.
Take an hour nap and get it done tonight so you can play tomorrow.

I don't know what you are talking about. Try again tomorrow when you might make sense.

You will receive an E-mail from the administrator tomorrow. nm

I love my new company. I'm off today and tomorrow
and didn't have to beg anybody or worry about TAT.
Hosp perdiem interview tomorrow! SM
I'm hoping someone will be able to advise me about some good questions to ask of the HR person of a hospital in my hometown; it's really hard for me to be objective about this decision because I want so much to leave the city where I'm living right now. I go back and forth trying to decide if I should even try this. First of all, this job was advertised as "per diem" -- forgive my ignorance, but would that be the same as a contract position? I had trouble once before making a living doing at-home MTing as an IC and paying my own health and life insurance, as I'm 100% supporting myself. It was certainly a shock after employee status--but I was so burned out at that inhouse job--transcription force cut in half, pay reduced, phasing out dictation in favor of computer templates! I took a chance even though I had an unrealistic belief in my own abilities, I'm afraid, and tried IC for a national company. I'm not working at all right now and am currently living on my savings.
I feel like something, anything would be better than nothing. Some foot/ankle problems also, related to standing at the last clerical job I tried, so a lot of even part-time jobs are out of the question at the present.
I do have some family at home and this hospital has a very good reputation as a good place to work, good (happy) employees...but, of course, don't want to move and still risk getting in an impossible position again! Please let me know of some good questions to ask during the "assessment" and interview Friday AM (tomorrow)! Sorry; realize this is rambling--many thanks--
Shopping tomorrow! Crest Whitestrips??
Any info? Do they work? I tried the Wal-Mart brand, no luck. Thinking of making an INVESTMENT IN MY SMILE! That sounds sooo exciting. Oh and what about that new enamel building toothpaste?
DH painted office for me. Now tomorrow I have to put it all back together.
:+
Good luck tomorrow to the OP and also to PAMT!
Let us know what you find out. Will keep you in my prayers.
I had to have a re-do mammogram a couple of months ago because they saw some suspicious calcifications on the first mammo. I was so scared. Turned out okay though. Stay strong!
Larry King tomorrow night 6/29...sm
Star Jones will be on Larry King tomorrow night speaking about her departure from The View......
I feel your pain, but remember there is always tomorrow.
Hopefully, that will be a better day for you! Hope the sun shines on you and you feel better!
Happy Holidays!
I don't even have a guess. No idea. Maybe I should count tomorrow.nm
nomo
I hope tomorrow's better, too! Bad mood today!

Hi...Yeah, I thought it was too. I am going to try calling tomorrow.
And I absolutely love the feel of the Kinesis Freestyle Solo keyboard! I am not gonna give it up so easy. If all I did was straight transcription, there would be no problem at all. It's just I also do VR and use the arrow keys and delete a lot, and the delete key is too far away.
I could never go back to my old Microsoft keyboard. Now I KNOW why my wrists and fingers ached so much. You don't realize it unless you have a keyboard like this kinesis freestyle to compare it to! The keys are low-force and boy does it make a difference! Plus I love how the two halves separate so you can find just the right angle for you PLUS change it from time to time to avoid staying in any one position too long. I can type nonstop for hours with no pain now. When I tried to go back to my microsoft (just to do ASR) my hands ached with the very first touch! I tried the Maxim, which is has a bit better feel than the microsoft but nothing near the kinesis freestyle.
