In 2 yrs, there won't be any MT work. Now is a good

Keep up the good work!!
 
No bashing from me....good work. :)

Good antenna WILL work
I have one! It DOES work! It IS enough!

I know the cable people would like you to believe that cable or satellite is your only option, but it's not. A digital set with a good antenna WILL work.

Yes, as scheduled on May 9th
Have you checked the IRS website?
Just because it's not scheduled

doesn't mean they aren't doing anything.  I certainly don't keep a calendar for my kids over summer vacation.  That's what summer's all about - being spontaneous.  As for summer classes, etc, that takes money and not everyone has enough of it right now. 


I'm not sure why you seem so bothered by it.  It really isn't any of your business.


Good for you! Keep up the good work!

Sorry, but he really sounds like a piece of work.....good luck! ; )

Scheduled yesterday but....
I was also out of work, no big problem with me. I am talking about being looked at as professional, not cleaning, cooking, taking care of babies, on and on when you do have work. Posts are written about how to fit other things in while they work?? I think most of us from time to time run out of work, myself included.
Thank you so much. I am scheduled for surgery on 2/27. sm
Your post hit it right on the head. When I thought about the possibility that I could develop cancer and have it spread elsewhere in the future, that is what really made my decision for me. I did not want the surgery, but I wanted cancer even less. Although I am aware that cancer can develop anywhere at anytime, I also know that I can prevent this particular kind just knowing the potential risk and preventing it before it can happen.

Thanks so much for the support. It really helps to hear from others who have gone through the same thing. I hope I am as lucky as you after it is done as far as symptoms and feeling good, etc. Thanks again.
Mine was scheduled to be DD by May 9...
It was not. I looked and it said on there no later than May 9. Supposed to get $1300. Friend of mine said her sons was supposed to be in there the 29 of April but it didn't go in until the 30. So maybe tomorrow. Don't know.
Sounds good! I can tell you that these dating sites do not work. I have never seen so many needy
men on them.  I wont meet anyone without talking to them first by phone and believe me when I tell you they all have their stories as to why they are broke, why they have been married 5 times, why they are still raising kids at 60 years old, etc.  What you suggested sounds good.  I have a few lifelong male friends that I usually always go places with so I never really had an opportunity to meet other new people when I go out and about so I plan to start doing more things on my own.  I really  dont mind doing that.  It may be fun actually.  Appreciate all your ideas!
I am working because it is one of my scheduled days sm,
to work.  I will get 8 hours or regular pay, plus whatever I earn lph that day.
Appreciate your letting us know - mine is scheduled

Does anyone know how to find out about scheduled events SM
that I could attend this summer like you see on Animal Planet? There are the frisby competitions, agility events, etc. I would just love to take a chair out, sit back and enjoy the day watching these beautiful athletes in action!!!   I would even take a few days off and drive to a larger event. Thanks for any help! 
thanks, it's scheduled to be deposited tomorrow
the only thing that worries me is this little statement:

You should receive a notice showing the amount of your payment. Please hold on to it because you will need it when you prepare your 2008 tax return.


Good church being the key phrase. Some are just a treadmill to keep you busy with "busy work"

When I was a kid we didn't have scheduled play dates,
we simply walked out the front door, ambled down the street, and looked for someone to play with.

Haha - it wasn't always human friends I was looking for, either! One neighbor always seemed to have litters of kittens. I'd knock on the door and say, 'Can the kittens come out to play?', and I'd sit in the bushes for hours with the kittens. Another neighbor had a great dane that no one in the family really had much time for. I'd knock on the door and ask if I could walk him, and they happily handed over the dog (that stool almost up to my neck, he was so big!) and his leash. I'd walk him for MILES.
Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
You dont work for them, you work for YOU. If you

I TRIED to work, WANTED to work, but
So now I have to scramble for the rest of the week, trying to catch up on what I didn't do today. And of course, working today was in hopes of catching up on whatI didn't do last week. This job is a never-ending hamster-wheel of lunacy.
Anyone have any good holiday dessert recipes? Looking for something good to take to a party. nm

What a good role model you are for good holiday spirit...wow nm

Awesome! Good service is good news.

glad to see you look at it this way! Really good idea! Have a good season! nm

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.

You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.

I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
Hey hon, you can have one. There are tons of good ones out there looking for a good woman. They ain&
doorstep. Seek and you shall find. So, if you 'really' wanted one, me thinks you would have one...
All good points, good post. (nm)

a good movie with a good lesson

Everyone has to work once in a while!
Normally in this industry, you are paid an incentive to work "holidays".  When I was in-house, I was offered a day off other than the holiday I worked, which was great.  I was also offered to only work a 4 hour day, in-house.  At home, you should also be given an incentive for those holidays!  Some people think that Martin Luther King Day is more important than Christmas because they may celebrate Kwanzaa.  Some people feel that April Fool's Day is important, so they are willing to work Easter.  It goes on and on...  There will be times in your life when you have to make a choice, "one day off" or a career in the "medical field".  I would have to agree that we are important especially on those holidays. For example, most hospitals and emergent care units are staffed with one doctor, so it should really be only STATs you are typing.  It is hard to "choose" when you want to be "sick".  Hence, our salary!!!!!!!  Most people will work all kinds of crazy schedules to accomodate their own lives, so why be so uptight about working Christmas because your employer requires coverage.  On the other hand, this should be rotated amongst a pool of typists.  I worked with a lady that would always volunteer for Thanksgiving (she had no family), so she could have Christmas off just to make us all mad!  She'd say "well, I've worked the last 10 Thanksgivings, so I deserve Christmas off!  It was so sad!  Hmmmpphh!  :)  Good luck!  Have a nice holiday (no matter how you spend it)! 
He did see my dog and work him up sm
and everything came back negative. I'm going to push him more on Tuesday when I call him. I like our vet a lot-have been using him for years with all of my dogs and so far he hasn't steered me wrong. I'm just not sure I want to wait much longer on getting him some medication. The poor little guy suffers so and it just scares the heck out of us. I mean, there isn't anything we can do but hold him and ride it out and just be there when he comes out of it. I just haven't had to deal with anything like this before.
Nah, I do it, too, the more I work, the more I do it.
on vacation, notsomuch!
Does this work?
testing
Both will work actually.
For people who want to learn about something, anything, Google is a great tool.  If you want to get into semantics about it though, personally I have real-life, first-hand experience with these critters called OTTBs.  That stands for off-track thoroughbreds.  They live until their late 20's and sometimes into their 30's and that is rarely taken into consideration by the racing industry, who I feel should kick in a little cash at birth, for every single horse they register with Jockey Club, to ensure that these animals can be cared for, for the rest of their lives.  Oh wait...that would put a crimp in the breeders bottom line though, wouldn't it.
I used to work
with someone who would say the quirkiest things.  got on my nerves. 
And I used to work with someone who had
a stick up their rectum and made everyone's lives mundane.
No, not every day and get this- I only work
part-time. She is always available when I want her to come over, can stay the night if I am working later, whenever I want her. You are probably going to start throwing rocks but my pay to her is anywhere from 50-75 dollars a day, depending on what she does, any extra things I have her do like cleaning the closets, putting up seasonal clothes, other than the regular clothes washing and the house cleaning (she does not iron on a regular basis but if I need something special, she would do that)- she used to cook for us but my hubby does that now. I DO NOT want to quit even my part time position- heck my husband might think I had the time to do housework too and ugh!!
Never during work...
I don't get that. They could buy a lot more if they only shopped on the off hours ;)
That might work if
He would actually go. I can only do so much to make him go. He is the most stubborn man in the world!!
It might work
to cover the parts of the couch they are scratching because cats tend to return to the same spot. If you cover the couch completely, they may go under the cover unless it's secured. If you prefer the cats stay completely off the couch, you could use Scat Mats. They give a little shock from a battery when touched.

Good luck. I've declawed cats before to save the furniture, and they never have the same muscle strength in their upper body after they lose the claws. I've switched to dogs because dogs listen, LOL.
I do work for PS and this is the one - sm
operation she does not like doing, says it leaves horrible scars. She does them but shows many before/after pics and actually has the patient talk to others that have had it done before she will do it for them. They go into it with their eyes wide open. So if you do get it re-done be prepared (that is if a Dr. will re-do you anyway).
How did that work
with insurance? I have one in my left armpit that really bugs me because it is so visible when I wear sleevless tops. My doctor told me that insurance would not cover removing it because it would be cosmetic purposes.
They do work, but -
You have to keep replacing them when their nails grow, or sometimes they just come off. I have all mine trained now not to touch the furniture. In fact, in the 25 years I have had cats I have never had a problem with my furniture being ruined (and I even have leather). I have scratching pads (both upright and the ones in the track ball cirle) that I keep supplied with fresh catnip that I grow myself. The cats LOVE it! They want to show me they are using the designated scratching areas because I always praise them when they do. Now, you need to put them in high traffic areas, not squirreled away some place your cats never go. Put them near the furniture, covered with fresh catnip. Then slowly transition the posts to another location, but put it some place the cats can easily get to. I bet it will work. Best of luck to you! :-)
that might work..
I do dearly love this cat and would rather move some place without carpet than get rid of him. The vet says that Maine Coon cats are supposed to be the easiest cat to train, so maybe it would be a matter of putting him in the crate at night until he got used to not having the food?
If you don’t work for MQ
then you are not allowed to post there. I see the posts coming in and I see no harm in asking that question.
Can you work in those?
NM
where do you work or are you an IC

 I am just asking because its the opposite for me.  Congratulations though.  That is an accomplishment.


I wish that would work, but
my bank is merging with another bank this week, and they have gotten really strict about not crediting anything to your account after 2 p.m., even through the ATM. Until this week, I could make a deposit through the ATM until 8 p.m. and it was posted the same day. I did a "test" deposit this past Monday after 2 to see if I could trick the account, but it didn't work. I hate bank mergers.

I need overdraft, but I can't do anything about it today. All the offices were closed by the time I realized I was one penny short.

Thanks for the advice and keep the fingers and toes and anything else you can crossed!
Maybe they were getting work done
in the house and moved furniture out for that. Something like getting floors refinished. I worked with a girl who burned down her boyfriend's house because she locked it up tightly after they were working on it. The fumes filled the house and ignited from water heater or something. Besides I think insurance company would notice if there was no burnt furniture in the house.
I used to go to work at 5 but now
in my older years sleep until I wake, part timer, work 12-8 and absolutely love it, so much more energy than when I had to beat the keys 24/7.
Well, that might work for others however
I have the bird feeder sitting in front of my window where I work so I (as well as the furkids) can watch the birds- the squirrels get in a bush next to the feeder and make a flying leap. They don’t fool with going from the bottom up. By the way I feed all animals, be they birds or squirrels so doesnt really matter to me who is eating at what time.
