i've been MTing for about 14 years. i love being at home for the fact i have a 10 y/o and a 6 y/o. but sometimes i find myself being bored sitting here typing. i think of doing other things, medically related. i think it would be so cool to be a surgery tech. the thing is here where i live, i can make about the same as they do working at home. it's just getting boring. anyone else feel that way or have made a change? i often think about when my boys get a little bigger, i'll go outside the house and work and possibly go back to college even. i would like to do some kind of work where i can make a difference in people's lives.

Reminds me a lot of MTing when you get a new job
They make promises; you totally believe them (not you, probably more me), and then you find out they count lines strangely and you don't know the formula, the DD is not in the bank when it should be, your health insurance rates change or you were never enrolled when you should be, etc. We especially in this business should be gunshy of any concrete promises from any money-giving source (except maybe our mom) that it won't necessarily be when or what we expect it. I was burned because ours was supposed to be in last week, I spent my child support for my son on clothes for him for the summer, etc. and then we had nothing left. Uggg. I was sure we'd get the DD. My husband has been on the bank site every day waiting. Isn't this sad? That we are depending on this stimulus? That's because there are no raises for cost of living, costs of gas went up, cost of bread, milk. We can't even eat out anymore, and had promised the children we'd eat out last weekend, guess we won't this weekend either. And, when the money does come, bet it will have to go to bills. I just hope we get at least one night at a hotel at the beach from it; that's all I expect anymore, used to be week long cruises in the good old days of MTing. Remember then? Good luck to everyone on the stimulus, hope you get it soon! MTmom.
Well, 10 years+ MTing, so kind of new...I see what you are saying about putting in a few sm
hours, etc. Can I be honest? I like working on holidays. I really do. BUT, that was not my point. My point was that I don't like other MTs telling me that I SHOULD work that day. And that is my obligation. Because to that I say, no it isn't!
In 35 years of MTing, I've NEVER made
was while being paid hourly as an on-site MT. Now that I'm paid a lousy 8.5cpl, my income is closer to 20K/year.
To burned out MT
If you have trouble asking for what you want, why not just send a resume and wait for them to contact you? It doesn't take much effort to do that, and they'll let you know whether or not to go in for an interview. If not that job, what about going back to nurses' aide? Good luck in whatever you decide.
You are playing with fire and someone is going to get burned. sm
Infedility by any means is not moral and it is not right. Your husband has every right to be upset, as would I if my husband were doing the same. I'm not condemning you, I'm saying what I would tell anyone. In fact, my best friend brought a guy to the movies with us the other night and she is MARRIED. Needless to say, I was very upset and called her after the movie and told her I didn't think that was very cool.
I bet you 99% of the responders to this post will agree that what you are doing is not right.
It's just exciting and fun right now and not at all worth it in the end. If your husband finds out he may never respect or trust you ever again.
Also, what helps me if I ever, ever get an inkling to stray (which has happened once in our 10-year marriage), is to think about ALL my husband has been through with me and put up and has done for me (which is A LOT), and eventually the "other guy" just doesn't seem that appealing anymore. It actually made me cry when I began thinking of all my husband has done for me and my child (I was married once before we met).
Anyways, you have to stop it. Leading a double life weighs very heavy on your conscience. It's no fun. Not good for your health.
Oh, one more thing! Why is he single, if he is? He's probably a jerk. He ditched you once, right? If he's willing to hang on to you even though he knows you are married? He's not worth it, girl.
I had multiple ones burned off 10 years ago....
I had a dermatologist burn off about 30 in the neck-clavicular area about 10 years ago. Those have not returned but new ones have in same area.
My advice is to NOT CUT THEM OFF YOURSELF!! My child has a big one, sent to my plastic surgery friend to take it off.

Follow the burned kitten's health updates

You can also find news and archived articles at the "Press Democrat" newspaper website. Looks like the kitty may recover, but his bills could reach $30,000 before he's well again. 
It sounds like you probably would like to see the Harry Potter books burned too
People like you are why I have a problem with religous nut cases. The last time I knew God = love. God loves all his children no matter what. You are just filled with judgement and self-righteousness. I believe that if someone is being physically abused of course remove them. If they are living the ways their religion believes and it is not hurting anyone leave them alone. So what if they wear funny clothes and their hair looks funny to outsiders. What gives one religion the right to dictate how another lives. Yes I know polygamy is illegal, children marrying and having sex with adults is disgusting in my opinion, but we should try and understand each other. I heard a quote one time that said "Don't tell me how I should or should not live and I won't tell you how you should or should not live". We are not The Creator and we should not be judging people. Let the courts handle it when they've got something legitimate and solid to work with.
burned the crap out of my belly with mashed potatos
I was just stiring instant potatos and then somehow it jumped on my belly and now I have this 2-3 inch mass of skin that has blisters, some of which have popped, and this one 2 inch round lesion that just looks gross. I probably should have gone to the hospital, but since I have no money I just treated it over the counter with antibiotic ointment. Has anyone done this before? If so what did you use? It is painful!!!! I bought this lidocaine stuff, but it hurts worse. At least it is healing!!! I am a dum dum!!! Those potatos were out to get me darnit!!!
I have a glasstop stove. I burned up a brand new oven glove on it becauuse sm
I have no concept of "surface is HOT." It stunk up the place and ruined a new set of oven gloves, but it was okay. I am very careful of it now, because a HOT SURFACE light means it is HOT.
duh...but it was a brain fart.
