like a maniac. I love my at-home job - I consistently keep a QA score of 99% or higher - and I'm fast. I am one of a few who can do both, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way.
I think MTing is a gift. I thank God to be able to do this job from home - screaming kids and all!

No, but if it is legit, it always sounded like my dream job!
 Paid to shop? I'm there!
my husband sounded like a train.
My nights were horrible. He snored, stopped breathing, and leg jerks all nigh. His doctor put him in a sleep clinic and he was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Now he uses a bipap machine with a mask. Not the most romantic look, but we both sleep great now with only the hummm of the machine. Have him checked.
Glad to know you didn't mean it like it sounded LOL (nm)

Yes, I read it. Sounded like you thought surgery
was the only way to go, and it could be a huge mistake. Once it's done and scar tissue forms, then a person has a big problem.
and he sounded so scripted in the press release
not like it was coming from his heart at all. Am sad for his family. I sure would not have been the adoring wife, on stage with him. She ought to have him ducking and dodging. To whom much is given, much is expected, but he certainly has fallen short. No integrity. Maybe when he hits bottom, he'll look 'up'.
Yeah, Gwen sounded awful - sm
wonder if having 2 kids changed her voice or something or else she was having a really bad night.
I posted Lee Perfect sounded like fake nails and

Your wish is granted.....
Your wish is granted! Unfortunately, due to bad weather and no sight of improvement, you are indefinitely stranded mid-flight at an airport where you are spending your holidays with the others who were on the flight. Basically, you are stranded with a large group of loud and hormone-filled young adults, the Girlz Gon Wild crew (what is this spring break?!) and a few babies with colic. How long will you have to hang out with this croud?! Aloha, baby! :)
I wish for a worry-free, stree-free day of relaxation.
Your wish is granted
Your wish is granted. Unfortunately, the doctors say your prognosis of coming out of the coma is not good, forcing your friends and family to enjoy the holidays whithout you. Merry Christmas 2007!!
My wish is:
I wish for a grandchild.
Your wish is granted....
Unfortunately, he is the spawn of the devil and totally out of control. His bags are packed. What time are you picking him up?
I wish for a long ocean cruise.
Your wish is granted...
Unfortunately it will be awhile before the coast guard finds your life raft, but hang in there!

Unfortunately, you end up finding it right where you left it along with an additional 40 holiday pounds! :(
I wish we'll have snow on Christmas! :)
your wish is granted
Unfortunately it is all dictated by a mumbling person who does not have a good grasp of the English language, plus is not prepared, so has to look through all of his notes, so that a 2000 second job will yield 10 lines, and there are 10 of these jobs just for you.
I want sunshine and no snow.
Your wish is granted.
You will have sunshine and no snow, but you will have a tornado instead, which will pick your entire house up and set you back down in Alaska, where you will have more snow than you can handle.
I want the HGTV guys to come do a makeover on my kitchen.
Your wish is granted...
Unfortunately, they arived two weeks before schedule. You had spent the whole night transcribing..your eyes were bulged and red, you had a twitch from listening to ESL dictators, your hindpart was sore from sitting - they thought they walked into an unknown cave. Bravo! They declared, and decided what should take two days would now take seven. They paraded family and friends through your house, the camera catching your every move. Finally, when it was time to air the show they named it "How not to design your house" followed by a picture of you yelling at your computer. BTW, you know live amongst circles (Sphere shapes are in this year).
I wish for a Free shopping spree.
Your wish is granted....
Congratulations on your free shopping spree....I love the 90-inch plasma tv, the beautiful new wardrobe of clothing, the awesome selection of dvd's, the wonderful new cookware, (the list goes on and on)....Unfortunately, there was a slight error with your game piece...you were one digit off from the actual winning number, so all of your items that you chose will go to the real winner *ME* but as a consolation prize for being such a great sport we will give you a year's supply of JollyTime popcorn! LOL!
I wish for a brand new home, newly built! :)
Your wish is granted.......
CONGRATS on your new home built on the side of a mountain with a gorgeous view and just in time for Christmas and all your Christmas guests. Unfortunately, with all the beautiful snow melting and the weight of all your excited Christmas guests, your gorgeous new home slid off its foundation on Christmas day and now sits in crumbles in a creek at the bottom of that beautiful view.
i wish to find a love in my life that will make me happy.
Your wish is granted....
You have found, Sam, the man of your dreams and he is absolutely perfect in just about every way...there is just one small problem, he was born Samantha. :)
I wish for a month-long European vacation.
Your wish is granted!
You're a peein'! But I can't imagine WHY in the world you'd wish for a bladder control problem.
I wish for lifetime maid service.
Your wish will be granted!
Snow falls upon your yard and home, how beautiful it is! Unfortunately, the roof caved in right on top of the Christmas tree and presents. Squirrels have scampered in and attacked the breakfast table with a vengence, Johnny's having a cow because his brand new PSP is buried in snow, and your husband hands you the snow shovel and says, "here it is honey, sorry I can't help cuz the games on!
I wish for a diamond necklace.
I have a life, a great life at that. I just happen to include my canine family

Yeah, my DH is like that, granted I don't go looking - sm
to expose my kids and am careful but they went everywhere with me when they were babies (still do of course). My DH would freak if I took them to the store or mall during the winter flu season, etc, don't touch the shopping carts (though he does have a point there) but my kids touched and never got sick. To this day neither one has ever had an ear infection, a couple colds, one had pneumonia briefly, the other strep throat once. But they both recovered quickly and are very healthy. It is just not smart to "protect" your child from everyday contact with germs and people. Funny though after all her ranting to you that she goes to the lion's den, so to speak, for a job. Have you asked her why she would want to work where there are so many germs for her child? Love to hear the answer to that one.
Granted, not everyone is as sharp as they - sm
should be about scams, but whenever times start to get hard, the flim-flam men come out of the woodwork. Recently in Oakland, 4 police officers were gunned down by a criminal. Their funeral was just a few days ago. Now there is a scam artist going to people claiming he is collecting money to 'help the families of the fallen officers'. And then he pockets it. Kind people just wanting to help get taken in.
Almost all of us wish we could make some extra, easy money at one time or another. And nowadays I think more people wish that than not. But most of the time, though, there's just no such thing as 'easy money'. But there will always be optimists and gamblers who feel some chances are worth taking, if they'll come out ahead in the end, and those people are of course EXACTLY who the flim-flam men & women are looking for.
I think the best rule of thumb during hard times or good times, is: If it seems to good to be true, it is. And NEVER put money up front for anything. And most CERTAINLY never put out money to an employer or an agent for a job. (I fell for that back in the 1970s, and was scammed big-time).
for the life of me..........sm
I mean this just does not make any sense. I had an adjuster come out who looked to be right out of high school, looked at our roof, said it had a LOT more years left on it. I went right to the phone, called my company, said to send someone out that knew something about a roof. I got 3 estimates from roof companies and an estimate to redo one of our bathrooms where it was leaking through. When I threatened to go public with how many roofs were put on homes and checks paid in the field, at the owner's home, standing in their yard, and knew this folks didn't need a roof, then they actually gave me enough to replace our roof. If I sound bitter, I am. This is ridiculous. I cannot help a hurricane blew through, but one could argue spilling bleach in one's floor is their fault, not nature. My mother has an old home, over 90 years old. She has done the best she can with what she has, but when they came out and told her that she would have to pay a deductible to fix part of her room, and then another deductible to fix another part of her roof, because both problems didin't come from the hurricane (like they know this for fact), I blew a fuse. I went ballistic on them. She did get a check in the field from an adjuster at first, but it wouldn't even cover removing the old roof, let alone replacing it with a new one. After the hurricane, she had leaking in several rooms in her home. I pitched a hissy fit. They then came back out and I got a roofer to meet with them, and she then got enough to actually replace the roof and supposedly to fix the ceilings in her house....though I don't think it would cover all that. I called our state insurance commissioner and let into him.....I told him I would expose the garbage going on. People 1 to 2weeks after the storm getting all kinds of paid repairs, but those of us who had to wait later on down the line for an adjuster, were being told they couldn't find a problem. No, the money started flowing out like a river, and then after a few weeks, they start telling their adjusters to tell anyone else they don't see a problem. Bull!
Her life was more...
than Stephen King and John Grisham together could have conjured up. Maybe Howard Stern was a plant in her life by the millionaire's family or maybe someone else close to her was planted by his family. I don't know, but it is the most sensational story I've ever heard in my life.
life
I knew her from when she worked on the North side near the airport. She had Daniel with her at the motel not far away. I was a waitress and we had a meeting for all the employees of a new club and she came and had Daniel with her and I had my son (now almost 19) with me and they played for a bit and she would come to my house on occasion with him.
To be totally honest when in the clubs people are introduced as "family" so I dont know if her "sister" was actually her "sister".
I was a different person back then and unlike her I was able to get away from all of that. I wish things had worked out differently for her and especially for Daniel he deserved so much more.
I hope for Daniellynn??sp?? that she has her mothers spirit and tenacity and her brothers sweetness so that she can see through all this and know that her mother and brother loved her very much.
too bad; it's not WHAT you know in life..nm
Get your own life!

Just another day in the life of...
I just read on MSNBC that China executed the ex-head of the Food and Drug Agency for taking bribes to okay substandard drugs citing, "Such cases have brought shame to our administration and revealed serious problems in approving antibiotics blamed for, at least, 10 deaths and other substandard medications." I sometimes wonder how much this sort of thing is going on in the rest of the world??
and Not in MY LIFE...........
Its her life though
You can't plan someone's whole life for them, or tell them they are ruining it because they have chosen a different path than you chose for them. She has to make her own mistakes and learn things in her own way. What you might call a ruined life could end up making her very happy in the long run. You do not have a crystal ball in that regard. Everyone has had a "bad boyfriend" or several and its a learning process. You can't choose who someone else is attracted to.
When I had children I realized they will not be a carbon copy of me, they will have their own experiences, feelings, etc. from day one. I made up my mind when my child was little that even though I might not like or agree with my child's life choices, I'm just going to have to grit my teeth and bear it. Its about what makes them happy, not about what makes ME happy.
Oh I want her life!
That is so cute! Anyone else allowed in that chair, or is that her's?
You know, I saw that plastic snowman in the window straight off! We had one like that when I was a kid too! I think we had a halloween decoration or two made out of that same funky chippy plastic. Very retro! Thanks for posting the picture!
She's got the life!
A vet told me years ago when I took in a young stray cat that the strays "seem to instinctively know the best places to show up" so they can have a good home. I think he's right! Looks like she picked the perfect home!
My life now could not be better
I am at a point in my life where I do not have to answer to others, can do what I want, have money to travel, don’t have to work 3 or 4 jobs to make ends meet, in fact working part now, have money in the bank, a loving husband, my daughter, family out of state. No one makes your happiness- only you can make it. I do not count on my children for happiness- I wish them well and that is all I do. They are on their own and hope they continue to be able to. I feel so blessed every day- I thank the good Lord above for my husband, he is a jewel. My daughter loves her stepfather - he had a birthday recently and she left him a message wishing him Hbirthday and tells me she is happy for my happiness. I would not wish to return to my earlier years for anything, so glad I am where I am in my life now. Totally blessed woman.
that was my life for the day, thanks.
I could see me wishing I HAD done all that preparation! If I ever go on safari, I'm taking you with me!
Life was fun up until about age 8,
and then it started getting more complicated.
From those early years I remember wonderful summer nights in Wisconsin with the windows open and cool breezes coming in, the June bugs hitting the screens, summer pajamas. I remember riding bikes and pretending they were horses. I remember shopping for fall clothes when we were lucky enough to get some instead of having them all hand-made from ugly Jiffy patterns. I remember the WI State Fair and winning 3rd and then 2nd prize in the twin contest there. I remember vacationing in cottages in Vermont when I was 4. I remember climbing our maple trees and being about 50 feet high and that was a normal thing to do.
I remember my first kiss from a boy when I was 3 and he was 2. He tried to talk me into walking down the sidewalk to watch a store being constructed and I had to explain my mom wouldn't let me do that.
From later years I remember good times camping with the girlscouts and the time we found a secret place to go near our house where there was a grove of sumacs you could sit under to get away from the world.
You know, we all have needs in life, and
recognition is one of them. Good for you for doing something beneficial for animals, and it doesn't hurt the animals that you'd like others to know you have done something nice in life. I know the Bible says that kindnesses done in secret will be rewarded in heaven, but life is tough and to get through it, I don't see why we can't have a little pleasure or satisfaction out of life now and then to help make the druggery of life worth putting up with. If you want rewards in heaven, you can do something else anonymously, I suppose.
Hers and your life may be - sm
a lot shorter than you think since he has been screwing up his courage and back to banging on her door, etc, and he carries a gun, not a good combination.....get the restraining order, find out how to make it permanent, video tape everything he says and does on her property (with date/time stamp), as poster above said document everything, they can pull phone records and see he calls you and her 30 x a day, etc., call the cops every time he comes and harasses, the cops will take care of it I hope.... they might not like it but that is what they are paid to do so use them, I would just call them when he threatens suicide, don't tell him, just do it, and video tape the threats, etc. Good luck.
oh, get a life.
Just a few observations from living in the south. I never said anything about eating squirrel, rabbit, etc. Someone else must have gotten to you before I did for you to be so defensive. Thought true southern belles were sweet! Or is that a generalization that is wrong also?
I will tell you and from how my life has gone
my life was so down at 1 time but rut was what I called it. I too was the entire breadwinner, had a househusband. I did it all and not a cent from him, everything in my name but I felt like I was the person in charge, I felt superior, I really did. I was supporting 6 people at 1 time, everything (these were his g'children as well as my own daughter who lived with me). He died, I remarried and now I have a person who helps me everyway, financially as well as supportive. The other husband was a real dog, ran around on me and caused me so much stress. It was like a 1000 pounds lifted from my shoulders when he died. I never wished that but when it happened that is how I felt. My life is wonderful now. I am saying, the support and love I feel alone is priceless. I still work and hubby pays the bigger bills, I catch the smaller ones. I know where you are, I have been there, I have struggled, I have been stressed but it can and does turn around a lot. I know this. Probably with him it is like just another child around taking care of them, huh? I have gone from much abuse to none at all. Here are good wishes your way.
I cannot believe for the life of me that
this so called mother put another child thru such as she did. The raping and killing of that precious child. How could she? I would probably be glad to hand her some knife blades if I had them available and could get to her. Hopefully they would be extremely sharp enough to cut her throat ragged, sounds good enough for me.
there's not enough spontaniety in this life....sm
I think it's fine if friends drop by for a few minutes to say hello, to touch base, to have a cup of tea with (few minutes to an hour). I believe there is not enough spontaniety in this life in general so this does not bother me when friends stop by. As a matter of fact, my friend who has cancer just rang my bell, we spent 30 minutes chatting here and she was heading home (same area). I loved it. Life is too short for it all to be about work-work-work and a clean house.
My opinion is that a home should be clean enough to be healthy and messy/dirty enough to be happy. 
have had this my entire life........
I had always gone for yearly mammograms and sometimes with bilateral hand-held ultrasound (my opinion is that the latter is better because w/ultrasound they always show up and not so with every mammogram). I have never needed a breast biopsy either. I am older now, breasts much less *dense*- a word that the MD always used - and I do not go yearly but every other year. BTW, no family hx for me of breast cancer. Try not to worry.......you can Google this too if you'd like......
We have a life line
We have a life line you can get through your local hospital probably. There is a "base" connected to the phone. She can wear a necklace or a pin. If she needs help, she pushes it and believe me you will hear it, it says, "help call in progress, help call in progress". Someone will pick up and ask if you guys need help. You can answer, no we have it now, or yes we need help. It is approximately 40.00 a month. This is also good when you want to go out and she has to be alone.
Have the time of your life!!
You are always willing to help others, and I hope you have a great time!
Lady, you seriously, seriously have to get a life. nm
