I have done this work for about 11 years. At first I loved it. I still do love it in a way...I mean I would not mind doing it every once in a while LOL! But I just can't stay focused on it anymore. And I have been having anxiety and panic too and trouble sleeping. I think it is because we don't use our bodies or brains in a normal way and things start malfunctioning. LOL! I don't know! I just know it's making me nuts to keep sitting here all day every day! I got a chance to go with a friend today to walk, have lunch and go shopping. The pure ecstatic feeling I got just at the thought of taking a walk in the daylight and eating lunch out was amazing. That's kind of a problem....it's not that exciting!

Houskeeping business PT? (sm) can't stay motivated! (sm)
I love working my own hours, love the medical field - but I am getting fatter by the day, and I am tired of the house being quiet, and our format has changed and now I can't make enough money. I am thinking about starting a housekeeping business. What do you think?
I was thinking more along the lines
poo maybe?
I'm curious to see what this really does mean.. LOL. First thing that came to my warped mind.
I was actually thinking along the same lines...
And Julianne is only 19!!! Don't know how old Helio (sp?) is, but I'm sure he's much older than that, considering he and his GF had been together for 6 years...that's a long time to throw away, she did it for some good reason, I'd think.
It's all in the name of TV ratings and money, that's it. I did notice in the beginning of the show (disclaimer: I quit watching after Sabrina went home) that Jenny was very uncomfortable with her partner pawing at her and somewhat reluctant to get into the dances and be all sexy. I think she made the comment about doing that kind of stuff with her partner and his being so much younger than her, and the fact that she's a mom.
And I agree with the poster that said it's a hard job raising moral kids in an immoral world, I'm struggling with that very thing too. All we can do is pray, pray, pray!
This article is along the same lines...
I read this a short time ago and thought it was interesting: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Extra/VictoriasSecretBossWereTooSexy.aspx?page=all

Clothes lines
We have fixed our own dryer half a dozen times, so we have a back up clothes line. One is in the house and one on the back porch. Unmentionables stay in the house. Wait for the reaction when they use that first scratchy towel for real snobbery!
Wouldn't this be along the same lines
of forcing a student to take a urine drug test? Isn't that illegal? Whether she's pregnant or not is none of the school's business, unless it is a private school and it is specifically written in the contract that they can test for pregnancy without parental permission (which I highly doubt!). That counselor should lose his job and the school should have to make monetary restitution for the child's suffering.
How can any school official be that stupid to think they're not going to be sued over it?
Sometimes age crosses over the lines
You are saying no one's business but actually it can be a court's business. There are laws that protect older citizens, seniors, from younger people coming in and swindling them out of money. So, it can be other's business. I have been there as the daughter of a man who, before it could get to court, was taken for over $150,000 that we could count. That does not count the money a nurse's aide got out of him (she used to care for the man's wife, younger) and took him for some money also. That is the court's business.
Thinking along the same lines
I can't sell my house at the moment (too much competition from foreclosures), so I thought I'd buy the land now & build when I sell. When I started checking into financing I found that financing land is harder, lots of times they want to see a building plan and will only finance for 5 years, by which time you are supposed to be ready to convert to a construction loan & start building. I can't really guarantee I'd be ready by then, plus the interest rates are a lot higher for land than for homes, so that kind of killed that idea. My next thought was to refi my house, get enough cash out to pay cash for the land, which is still something I might do. Interest rate would be lower & no deadlines. In terms of what to build, I've also thought about some sort of kit home or modular. The idea of buying something with an existing modular on it is a good one because the utilities would already be in place. Another thought I had is moving my house! I think it would be easier to sell my empty lot than to sell it with the house. Or buying land with a beat-up fixer on it -- at least the utilities would be in place. I could scrape the house & start over but wouldn't have to worry about water, etc. Yet another possibility: I'm seeing lots of unfinished homes; people who ran out of money before the home was finished. Some good bargains there, unless the permits have all expired.
I'm not worried about electric since I plan on having off-grid solar, but internet access is an issue. Start googling "broadband by zipcode" & that sort of thing to find websites that will give you all the ISPs for a certain area.
These days it might actually be cheaper to find something already built, even if it's a scraper, than to build your own, & a lot less hassle. I'm still looking at all the options.
I was thinking along those lines also. sm
Also, maybe he has urine stones. Males are more prone than females. Why, I don't know.
My old cat was trying to pee in the plants, in the laundry basket, where ever the urge hit. I had no clue what was going on but took him to the vet. The vet literally put in a Foley and a little bag. I was in shock when I saw it. Who would have thought leg bags for felines.
Anyway, he gave me some antibiotics and another pill, a week's supple of Hills Science Diet, and within a week he was back to normal.
I now keep them all on Iams. It is more expensive but they don't eat as much and I have not had any urinary tract problems in over 5 years.
i would say something along teh lines of how you are sorry for the things that has happened to him w
but you cant. adn the important thing now is, that he has his own children that watch and learn from his actions and that if he would like to break the chain...he needs to start acting differently towards them. he isnt going to be able to take back or change things for himself, but he can change things for his children which they will carry with them onto their children... he needs to show them the better way to have a merry christmas by "acting it".---my opinion. (comes from experience,..children dont always need to know the truth about every detail...they learn more from actions)
But they can say I need xx reports/lines in 24 hours.

From a man's point of view on same sex lines
He told me just this morning most guys do not want to be on chat lines with other guys, do not want to even see things like that nor talk about it even. He says most guys he knows shy away from anything even resembling gay issues, no magazines, no chat lines, nothing. He works at a trucking firm and he says never hears other discussing subjects like this. He thinks there is more than just the chatting going on. This is from my man's point of view.
Reading between the lines and I understand
what you have said. There was nothing at all wrong with what I said. When you point a finger as some do here, don’t they understand more fingers are pointing back at them?
Grocery Store Check Out Lines
I can't stand people who go into the line that says 10 or less items and have double or triple that.
Ever notice that if you do 2000-3000 lines a day...sm
that people don't want to believe you? I transcribe 2800-3000 lines a day in an 8 hour shift, 65 character line. I've been in the business 27 years, type 150 wpm and pretty much keep up with the dictators speed. Some folks try to accuse me of sneaking in lines outside of my shift to make myself look good... but these are people that typically type 60-80 wpm, stop every few minutes to take care of kids, neighbors deliveries, etc. and wonder why they can't meet minimum production standards.
400 lines per hour? You need to teach me a few things! LOL nm

Amen and OP. Thanks for the perfect punch lines for

Lots of clothes lines here that look like umbrellas sm
without the fabric on top. Here is one from http://www.clotheslineshop.com/. They also have indoor ones and retractable ones. Never knew before 
My lunch-budget is however many lines I miss when
Why? Because Fox leans conservative? I think I'm reading between the lines pretty

It used to be that way, but not anymore. sm
In order to maintain a roof over our head and food on the table, etc., I finally put my foot down with my "spender" of a husband. His check (around half as much as mine) is now directly deposited into the checking account that he has no access to period.
If there is money left over after bills are paid and he sees something he absolutely has to have then I buy it.
I know it sounds like I "wear the pants" in the family, but we wouldn't have any pants if I left finances up to him. This man could spend his whole paycheck in a half an hour and just bring home "stuff" because it was "cool." We have been able to buy a house and we haven't had the power or phone shut off in over 5 years.
If I hadn't done this, we'd have been living in a shack with no running water, but you can bet your paycheck that we'd have a big screen TV. 
NOT ANYMORE
The book is also cancelled!
That is great and I am glad. Judith Regan decided not to publish it! Hooray for her!
I won't say anymore...
Didn't mean to almost spoil it for you. I wasn't thinking.
Don't use it anymore, but when I did...
cleaned the thing each and every time. I won't even use a frying pan for making grilled cheese or something without cleaning it out each time. My MIL does that stuff and it grosses me out. :/
She may not want to do IT anymore, but you can

I can't get into it anymore...has it changed?..
I just get "picture of the day" and not the live cam I used to see. ???
she's not a girl anymore though
She's 21 and sadly makes her own decisions. She's too addled to know enough to hire someone to watch over her. Coke gives you a feeling of invincibility. Mom's a mess and so is Dad. She was so darn cute in the Parent Trap too.
What is a holiday? I don't know anymore. NM

Not anymore than a ESL dictation does.
.
They're not RNs anymore, so it's more
than just the appearance that's changed.
I only go when I can't see out of my glasses anymore.
Or when I accidentally sit on them and break them.
Actually, Jon said last season he did not want to do it anymore -
Jon clearly said this year that the stay at home dad thing was not for him, that he wanted and needed to go to work, and that he was tired of this life and the show -- but Kate is not and insists "the show must go on"...
there is really no bed rest anymore -
I went home from the hospital 12 hours after my son was born and had no problems whatsoever. I was at Wal-Mart shopping that night because the doctor told me it was good to start walking and just not to overdo it.
I don't remember there being any pain after he was born, just soreness all over really.
If he wins, definitely not watching anymore!
There is no way he even compares to Melinda or Jordin. I was not too happy with Taylor Hicks last year. So if it happens again, I'm done. : )
I think you're right - I did tell them not to play that way anymore (sm)
I told them they could hurt her and that they can't play rough with her like they do with me. I do wish she would understand that they are kids though. They haven't intentionally been mean and if they were, they would be in trouble!
But now doesn’t happen anymore
because I have no further contact with them- this is part of my past life. I wish them well.
Gosh, I did that for years, can't do it anymore nm

okay. Willl not respond anymore. Thanks. Nm

actually changed to satelite and don't get FX anymore
so i will have to wait until it comes out on DVT. I'm going to start a new thread about N/T...you inspired me!
Anyone know why I can't get those little emoticons on my posts anymore?

I am with ya. Having a hard time doing t his anymore.
I could not put a word to it but "fruity" describes it perfectly. My brain is just fried after 26 years. I cannot see myself doing this until I am 65, 14 more years. Holy Cow. No way. Gotta look into something else. Have to wake up my brain. Good luck with the billing job.
I am watching right now so I won't share anymore
but she is drinking this in front of the whole room. I think this is just a mistake with the props department.
nobody plays anything anymore, apparently
Wow, it was like you were reciting a chapter from our life. We've had the hardest time around other parents and their kids. You should have seen the confused look we got the other day when someone asked us if our kids liked Diego, and we said that ours don't really watch TV. It was the politest thing to say, because there was the show up on their enormous expensive flat-screen TV, and the animation was so awful, and nothing at all was happening, and the kids were just itching to *do* something instead of being sung at by dead-eyed drawings, but how do you tell people that? ''I might let her watch TV if there were anything on that wasn't a hypnotic half-hour commercial for some crappy toy.'' If you say that, people think *you're* judgmental and weird, no matter how much they look down on you for not having the Latest and Greatest.
What can you do? Here's all I can do: Trust myself, trust my instincts that there's a mistake those people are making. My goal is to raise morally good kids. Make them good, make them smart. Rich, snobbish and overstimulated aren't virtues.
how to handle a pet you do not care for anymore
In October we got a 7-week old cat from a local vet. We loved her, she was a sweet ball of fluff. She is mainly an indoor cat but does like to go out a few times a day. A few weeks back she started eliminating (both) on my down comfortor, which is a PITA to wash!!! I thought it was just the comfortor so I would just put it away every day after i woke up. I thought maybe it was the litter so I have changed the type of litter I used and that seemed to help. But last night she peed on the bed itself, not the comfortor. The mattress is only about 6 months old, i'm very upset about this!!
Consequently to me disciplining her for this, the cat does not like me anymore. She does not allow me to pet her, she will no longer sit in my lap. The only time she is friendly with me is when I am making food in the kitchen and she comes and rubs on my legs because she wants food. The only thing I did was take her and put her outside when she eliminated on the bed. I use a spray bottle to keep her off of the table and now to completely keep her out of my room. She does not eliminate anywhere else in the house but my bed and the litter pan.
Besides this she plays rough. She is always biting and scratching. Maybe it has just been too long since I had a kitten and forgot but do they normally do that? she is not very loving. This makes me sad as I wanted a lazy Garfield type cat LOL. I know it's not fair for me to expect her to act a certain way but I can't help being dissapointed. She is ruining my bed. I have started putting her outside more but my youngest gets sad when I do as he thinks she won't come back and that is a battle.
Anybody had problems like this? I know there is a spray you can buy so they will not eliminate on certain places but won't she just find somewhere else to do it?
who really cares anymore? My SO and I will never get married
marriage is a dying tradition
I used to be afraid of spiders, but not anymore.
When you fight for space in a home, you get over the fear. If they aren't too "fast", I catch them and put them outside. Not afraid of anything else except heights. Can't even get on a step stool.
I was a tomboy growing up and played with all kinds of insects and bugs except spiders. Even brought home a garter snake, bat, and mouse as a house pets. Can't imagine why my mom was so upset.
There is no more home ec in schools anymore,
x
None anymore. No wait. Let me count!
I was so busy working that most of my friends gave up and I can't blame them. My closest dearest friend of 30-some years died 2 years ago. We only kept in touch by phone in the past 5 years prior to her death.
I have 2 internet friends, one the wife of my boy friend (not boyfriend) from elementary school and one who shares genealogy family with me. He was the brother I never had.
Oh, and my husband. We've been best friends for 40 some years.
I would not call her anymore until she called...sm
me. When she called me then I would call her. If she didn't call me then I wouldn't call her unless I needed something.
No worry here - all I ever do anymore is work.
.
I don't think he lives at home anymore.
I usually take the woman's side with this kind of stuff, but can't do it with Kate. She has changed big time. Jon said a long time ago he didn't want to do the show anymore but she's really into it. I think she is only doing the show for herself, not her kids (as she says), and she is willing to put her marriage on the line. In my opinion, she has never treated Jon very well. She's very overbearing. It's her way or the highway and he chose the latter.
I hope they take the show off the air.
