Yes, thanks for posting this! I did not realize that domestic rates apply (8.95) when shipping to FPO and APO. Awesome!

How many hershey's kisses fit into a priority flat rate mail box? sm
Apparently, there is a contest going on about this. what would you say? Just curious. I have a guess, but I'm going to keep mine secret! shhhh hahahah
You have no idea what is top priority...
You have minimal facts in this case. I have no idea what is top priority for you or your children, right?
I think you do have to go all out. A therapist and drug screen would be first priority nm

I absolutely love my work, but myfamily is priority
I chose to come home for two reasons, I absolutely loved doing MT work and I had a child who stayed with my mother during my working hours. At that time, I worked in-house. After figuring the line count I was getting compared to cpl versus hourly rate, I realized that coming home was the way to go, not to mention more time with my baby (age 3). My baby is now 10 and I have another baby almost 3. I still love being at home, and I sure would not change being home for anything in the world. I have been able to see every ball game, help with every homework assignment, volunteer in the classroom and read every day with my children. When I have jobs that need to be transcribed ASAP, they know it is time for me to work and usually watch a movie or play a game together. I still manage to get my days work done, both work and home and still spend time with my children and husband, and nothing in this world could ever change my mind about staying at home. I am not saying it is a picture perfect world, there are bad days mixed with the good, and I have suffered burn-out and went back to work outside, but quickly found my way back home. It is not all peaches-n-cream, but I do love my work and at least I know who is raising my children and taking care of the housework, not to mention who is looking at the dirty laundry. To the other women out there who have raised children and done MT work at home, I praise you..you have two job titles: MT business manager and home business manager. For Missy, well....maybe you just need to have a baby for yourself to find out why it is important for many to stay home and raise their babies. You do know...some children go to daycare and the parents later find out there was a case of neglect or abuse with their children. PRAISE TO THE SUPERMOMS!! 
Pay Rate
Hi. I'm interested in finding some doctors in my area to do work for extra income at home. I have 9 1/2 years of experience and work at home for a big national. I have no idea what the going rate would be or even the basis on which to charge (line, page, ???). I live in a rural area so it would probably be low-average. I appreciate any advice anybody could give me on this subject. Thanks.
I think that is more than most - we used to be about that rate (sm)
til things got really bad in our marriage.
Rate MDs
Hey I had posted awhile back regarding my frustrations finding a decent doctor. I came across an article talking about rating doctors on the Internet and it listed the RateMDs.com website. Of course, the AMA and other doctors are all in a huff about patients, God forbid, rating them online. Anyways, I went to RateMDs.com and found a doctor I had been to had already received a poor rating! Hehe I added to it. But I also used it to help me choose a new PCP who had an excellent rating. The receptionist also told me that they have new patients on Thursday and allot more time so they can go over their medical history and issues! Wow I thought, that's awesome. We'll see how it goes. But if any of you have a doctor you hate, like or need to find a new one, go check it out!
Wow! $700 is a good rate to go up there.
I can drive to NY and would spend more than $700 in a week. First, ask exactly what is included in the fee and ask the teacher to give you a better answer on the fundraising issue. If no fundraisers are being done, maybe you can offer to run a couple.
I think your plan is a good one. I usually come up with about a third of the cost of my kid's activities. (Only have the 16 yo left at home now.) The rest they earn by working or through fundraisers.
She'll have a great time in NYC!
We cant buy groceries on a cpl pay rate, so I'm trying to come up with one too.
Not really.
They are getting an hourly rate - just $2 is what I tip.
Yes, thanks for the info. At that rate,
we would have to clean ours every month. Taking a shower now is like getting rained on by rocks. We go through a hot water tank every 5 years. Doggonit! Guess I have to wait until we can get either a new well or a water softening system first. <sigh>
Hang on, though. The rate could have changed...sm
If any payments were late (or missed), the rate could have gone up astronomically for the OP. They may well have gone up and up. It's probably in the fine print of the card agreement that that will happen automatically with late payments.
And I have heard financial experts say that it's not a good idea to call and cancel a card if you still have a balance on the card, because then you have no way to negotiate with them. Though it doesn't sound like any negotiating was able to happen in this case, you're supposed to keep asking for the person's supervisor (and their supervisor, if necessay), and be persistent, until you get to talk to someone who can help you with lowering the rate and maybe waiving some of the fees.
Then I would apply for another card with a lower rate (and make darn sure you don't make any payments late or miss any payments!) and transfer that WA MU balance over (and ask if they can wave the transfer fee when you apply for the new card).
BTW, I recently applied for a credit card with WA MU because the offer was for 0% interest for 15 months on balance transfers, and the person was definitely in India. Every time I interruped him to ask him a question, it was like he then had to start over reading his "script" but I could understand him.
I asked if he could wave the balance transfer fee, and he said he was unable to do that. I didn't persist or ask to speak to his supervisor, but I should have. According to the experts, the time to negotiate is before they have your business. After they have you as a customer, they aren't so interested!
My property tax rate stays low
because there are so many mansions in my town. There is a house on the market right now for $23 million, plus lots of others in the 5-10 million dollar range. What is really sickening is that these are second or even third homes for some people. But they are paying such high taxes, it really takes the burden off us little guys who live way, way, way on the other side of the tracks.
Would you also want your income taxed at the 40% rate?
At one time England did that. The friends we had in Cananda said they were taxed to death on their income, but they were pretty pleased with their healthcare. There is no easy solution.
I got a fixed-rate mortage through
They kept my note through the life of the loan and didn't parcel it off to some other lender. I also had a decent down payment saved up which helped a lot.
I get a bit of real-estate sticker shock too when I see what friends and family have paid for their homes in other parts of the country.
I purchased my home for $86,000. The original asking price was substantially higher, but it sat on the market for quite a while and they had lowered the asking a few times. I think they were just glad to finally get it sold. I have 1600 sq. ft, 3 bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths, dining room, living room, and partial basement. It was built in the mid 70s, so the rooms are not too small like some of the older homes. But it is not as spacious as the open floor designs that are popular today.
Just closed on 4.375 interest rate! nm
Are they adults? No. R-rate means under 17 not allowed. sm
Easy answer.
I know they told me 50 and I collect now at the same rate I collected
after his death when the children were little. However, I was 49 when the youngest turned 16, so I had to wait 1 year to re-collect. The laws may have changed since her situation, but I know this is true for me and I have no other extenuating (?) circumstances.
Check out HGTV.com Rate My Space (sm)
Regular people redoing their homes upload pics and others comment on them. It's very fun to see all the rooms, and you can get some very good ideas for designing and decorating your own space.
I suppose I related to the rate of capital punishments

and the crime rate dropped 20 years after abortion was legalized

Pay off highest interest rate debt first, then the next, and onto the next. The house can wait. Do

e-mail
Sorry....I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers or get on the soapbox.....It appears we've got a lot in common, namely patriotism....Tried to e-mail ya, but it kept coming back, ergo I thought your were incommunicado.
I worked for the Veterans Service Agency (what would be called Veterans Affairs now) 30 years ago and still spend an inordinate amount of time at the VA with my husband, bless his heart.
I'm glad you enjoyed the bit about the politician's kids.
Have a great Labor Day Wknd!

I got that ad in the mail the other day
and threw it away. I won't step foot in that place. I was wondering how I even got on their mailing list. H said he thinks it was because he bought some perfume for me there 2 Christmases ago. Anyway, this reminded me of a conversation I had on a parenting forum I visit. A good many of us were disgusted at a Neiman Marcus ads that kept popping up. It looked as if they were hiring 13 or 14-year-old girls to model maternity clothes for them.
not my mail
How do eliminate mail that comes to previous residents of your home? I know you can write "wrong address" on mail and have it returned, but what about junk mail? Will the post office accept junk mail returned this way? I do not know if the previous residents completed a change of address form or not. They have not lived at this address for many years; however, mail still comes on a daily basis. How do you get rid of all this?
too much mail
Fill out a form at the post office telling them who is to receive mail at this address, they have the forms, just explain the situatioin to them. Then you will only get mail for who you have indicated to the post office
Anyone else get this letter in mail?
Got letter in mail -- inquiry about 'opportunity' for my service to hire on 50+ MTs including dictation platform - something about an MTSO losing 98% of its hospital business in November and wanting to place these MTs. ? I'm wondering if these poor MTs even know about it yet ??
I would write an e-mail sm
and say "I love you anyway!"
That's it! Whatever happens, happens. You can not control how other people act or react, nor can you change people. So, you need to just love like you always do and move on from whatever is hurting you.
Best of luck to you and many blessings!
Hi Hayseed...sent you an e-mail...nm

RE: E-mail status
I just heard that you can check the status of an e-mail you send to see if it has been opened or not. Anyone know how to do this?
Yahoo e-mail
Mine has been acting up for a couple of days now. I went in the other day and all of my mail in my inbox and "trash" was gone! I know there were things there. I went to their answer forum and others said that yahoo is having difficulty currently, and to go back to the classic Yahoo and see if that helps until they get the problem figured out. Sort of scary if you ask me!
it appears I still have your old e-mail...sm
I sent an e-mail to you a coupla days ago and it bounced back. Just e-mail me and I can update my address book. What did you think about barforama! Poor Juliet Cat
I have a PO Box, and I still get the junk mail. nm
momt....please e-mail me. Don't know
if I can help at all, but would be here if you just needed to talk. Don't know what you are thinking but I come from "the most" dysfunctional" family there it. I have suffered from depression all my life. Would be glad to corrospond with you if you would like. Am about to sign off, need to start dinner, if you do respond please don't think I am ignoring your. Good thoughts being sent your way.
Mine is 06 and nothing in the mail yet. NM

unwanted mail
Write "Return to Sender - Refused" on the package when you take it to the post office. Then call the company who is sending you this stuff and really give them a piece of your mind. Also make sure to document everything. If these steps don't do any good then file a complaint with the post office.
For those that have comcast e-mail
I have a question. I have two e-mail accounts, one is Yahoo and the other is Comcast. I received e-mail through both. My Yahoo account will notify me with a pop-up that I have mail. Comcast doesn't. Is there a way I can set it to notify me when I receive e-mail? TIA
read my mail
Link Below.
I sent you the original e-mail that I sm
got back. Your e-mail address is coming back without the "e" on the end of chelle. Looks like somehow it is getting forwarded wrong through MT stars. Anyway I corrected in my address book. You might want to contact MT stars about it. Check your aol e-mail for my letter.
For some reason can't get mail through Yahoo right now. (sm)
Is there a problem with the Yahoo mail system anyone knows about. The Yahoo web site pulls up fine, it is just the mail.
help with yahoo mail alert
i cannot figure out  how in the world to get back the alert in yahoo toolbar that lets me know when i have new mail???!!! would you please help me? many thanks.
We should talk via e-mail. Sounds like we have..sm
had similar things happen to us. I have been divorced for 5 years. I did the dating site a few years ago and met some real freaks. Right now I'm talking to someone I dated 13 years ago and another man who is going through a divorce. Feel free to e-mail me.
I'm not getting Yahoo mail today
I wouldn't have thought much about it until I saw your email. I'm emailing you a test email to see if you get it.
No mentors, formerly done via mail order, etc.
I answered this before but don't know where it went. We worry he is being used but he asked us to think positive. We are sick about it but can't dare say anything. He is doing his best to ask for help, a competitor just laughed in his face at Manhattan. Newer product previously ordered online or through catalogs, no prior salesperson cold calling.
Anyone else's yahoo e-mail down tonight? nm

Hot mail change and no pics
My hotmail email account sometimes changes the way it looks with upgrades or whatever they are doingl. Ever since the last time, when someone sends me an email with a picture in it (not an attachment), the pictures are blank. What can I do?
Would rather have someone hand it than e-mail cards sm
I only use these on occasions they don't usually make cards for. I send one to my bro for Vets day with Flag and music, he loves it but not for Christmas, please!
Gift for mail carrier?
Hi all.....does anyone have an inspired idea for a gift for the mail carrier? Our mail carrier always takes the time to stop and talk if she sees us out....and she just told me that they lost their family dog to cancer. She is so nice...I would like to remember with a little something.....she is definitely not into sweets.....so cookies and candy are out.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
My DH is a mail carrier, here's stuff he gets:
Cookies and candy, which you say are out.
We get bags of apples or oranges and nuts.
He gets gift cards for Walmart and Pizza Hut, which is funny because he used to deliver for Pizza Hut.
I usually give the mail carrier a gift card for Walmart for 25.00. This year might not, because we are so broke. DH also gets cash in a card. He likes that best, even the 5 buck ones because it's always great for him to have pocket money. No matter what the mail carriers appreciate anything, even a card. Good luck to you!
Used to give to our mail carrier but
he retired and the one we have now delivers mail when they feel like it. He used to deliver around 9?30 a.m. and never missed that time. I used to give him gift cards and/or cookies every year. If there was a package to deliver, he would bring it to the door along with the mail. He retired last year and we have a new "person."
Now the mail comes anytime between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. If hubby is waiting for a check on a Saturday, we're out of luck to deposit until Monday. Then we have the luxury of looking at it until Monday and, in the meantime, hope nothing comes into the bank that we forgot to write in the bank book. If I'm waiting for a package, I have to remember to get to the mailbox and check 3-4 times a day because he/she never brings any packages to the door even if it's raining or snowing.
This new mail carrier gets nothing from me this year, or any time until he/she gets his/her shitsu- together.
