I just finished her book, "We're just like you, only prettier." sm
Some easy reading, funny stuff.
Right now I'm reading Ann Rule's "Worth More Dead." She is a great writer, but I need to read light things once in awhile to cleanse the palate, so to speak.
Tessier's Surgical 'Word Book, old but good. And the Quick Look Drug Book and Saunders
.
I read this book also. Wonderful book.

Anyone who has just finished school
would be more apt to pass the CMT test. However, to say that would eliminate "toilet errors" is not the way I see it. Someone with a lot of years experience in this field is just as good as a CMT if not better. Passing a test and putting initials after your name means nothing when it comes to work ethic, discipline, and experience. I just think if you have 9 years of experience, you are going to be just as attractive as someone with a CMT. It seems to me companies or physicians seek well-rounded MTs that have experience in quite a few specialties as opposed to having CMT after your name. I am not so sure physicians are aware of this testing process, but the Nationals seem to have bitten on it, but I'm not so sure it gets you any more money. I've read posts where it does not gain you anything more than something else to put on the resume. If you want to become more attractive, then I'd say branch out into more specialties or may be even take a business course to expand your knowledge. CMT, in my opinion, is a waste of money especially when you have verbatim accounts and the client is always right, no matter what "the books" or for that matter AAMT has to say about the way it should be done. Just another opinion. 
I have never finished a beverage to the end of it.
Finished- burp.......................

No I haven't finished it yet, but I will ...sm
post my thoughts when I do.
I read it...UGH. I only finished it
because I felt I had to in order to maybe reap some benefit from it and form my own opinion. It didn't do a thing for me at all, can't understand all the glowing reviews and accolades. It really was a chore to get through, IMHO.
Just finished my shift...sm
Hi SAM! It felt like such a loooong shift with all the tough dictators. But that is behind me now. Weatherwise, we hit 70 degrees once so far, now back down to the low 50s. I love how the days are getting longer.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Getting new hardwood floors. They are going to put down pre-finished. (sm)
I haven't picked out style and colors yet. I know I don't want really dark or really light, but there are sure a lot of variations in between. Different size planks too. Anyone had good/bad experiences with the prefinished ones?
I just finished it last night after I got done work - sm
stayed up until 2 reading. I figured out some of it before it was revealed in the book. I loved it too. I know everyone is happy here that I am done, I would not let anyone near the book because they kept threatening to read the last chapter and spoil it for me.
Hey, I just finished making him tostada
a while ago, Slim in bed snoring away, I have the house all to myself, he came in after a long hard day at his new job....Couldn't let the boy go hungry now could I. He shared his cheese and wine with me, then the gang came in, drat!! He is a real cool guy. His wife will be arriving from Brazil in two weeks. He hopes to have their apartment set up by then, not too far down the road from us....
I'm SO finished with the stock market! As soon as my
I'd rather have a little money that I know I can keep, than tons of *fake*, on-paper money that I could lose the next time some a$$hole decides to fly a jet into a building.
Nope, I'm FINISHED! Even back when - sm
I was making a little money in the market, what little profit I made was taxed much more heavily than my regular job money. Not to mention all the extr forms and headache at tax-time, as well. Not worth it for the 'little guy', even when the market IS going up. But after all the dishonesty and stock-tweeking that's been unearthed and brought to light in the past year or two, I'm through with it. I'd rather have less cash-money that I know I can keep, than lots of 'funny-money' that only exits on paper, and can disappear at a moment's notice. I'm not wasting any more of my hard-earned money to make a bunch of crooks rich.
Just finished Harry Potter - no spoilers
I would never ruin it for anyone. Just wanted to say - What a ride! It was an excellent book! Sorry it's all over.
yippee, whoohoo -- just finished my taxes!!!
talk about procrastination...dang! down to the last minute, i'm still trying to gather up last year's paperwork. then, about had a panic attack as i was finishing up, wondering, what if i get audited? just glad it's done, i think.
I finished Harry Potter! Never fear - no spoiler.
Wow - what a great book & series. Brilliant! As Ron would say.
DR Book
We just got our copy this week and after the first few pages - I believe it is going to hurt!! We need it though - husband is really stressed. We have two kids in college and one goes in next year. Two oldest are getting married soon - SCARY STUFF!!
best book
Thanks for the insight. I love to read and have trouble with finding good books. Have you read The Kite Runner? It is one of my all time bests. You have to stay with it though.
In the book
The Five People You Meet is Heaven (obviously fiction) tells about choosing the best time in your life and that is what "your" heaven will be like. I love the thought of that. Am still trying to decide what I could choose.
Do you have his book?
Cesar would say that nobody has established the leadership role, so the dog has taken it. Somebody has to do it.
She's being dominant. The good news is that if you learn how to be the leader and your kids learn to act like Cesar has taught his kids, your dog will happily fill the proper place in the pack. It wouldn't matter if she was 14 years old. Dogs live in the moment. She's been learning all you've been accidentally teaching all this time.
One thing about the process is that you need to dedicate whatever time is needed; you don't give up in the middle of a lesson or you have to start over next time. Get Cesar's book or books and be the a pack leader your dog can be proud to follow. :o>
There are other methods as well, and you can get other books. Many "real" dog trainers think his tactics are way off base, but often they soften after reading his book and seeing where he's coming from. But IMO your dog is a candidate for his methods.
Nothing-In-Life-Is-Free is one popular training method.
Self-help book
This book changed my life many years ago. Read it; you will not be sorry. "Your Erroneous Zones" by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

book
The Bluejay Boarders! I do not even remember who wrote it but it was the first book I really read all by myself, first chapter book so to speak and it made me cry. To this day I cannot find that book! Anybody ever heard of it?
yes, that was book 4
She has published 6 in the series so far and #7 should be out next year. DG has said that there will be "at least" 8, so leaving open the possibility for a 9th. She also has plans for a second Outlandish companion book and a prequel about Jamie's parents, but who knows when.

Here is the site where I found the book... all the way at the bottom you can click on read all reviews & read what everybody is saying about it. I saw the movie & if this book is half as good as that movie it will be great! Everybody says really good things about the book:) may wanna check it out!
this is not a book, but
My teenage son wants one of these DVD:
Wanted, Hellboy2, and Hancock...in case movies are an option. Sometimes my neighborhood kids have movie parties and if someone gets a new one they get voted to watch theirs. It might make the gift last a little longer if they can share it with their friends.

This is a really complicated subject, even though your question is simple. You probably should go have a talk with your FIL about what he considers standard equipment for the house in your area. Good luck!

I read a book about emergency preparedness. Wish I could tell you I had enough money to bury, but I don't!
Book online if you can...
And save your confirmation and payment receipt with your tickets. You should receive confirmation in your cabin at least 24 hours before your first shore excursion. If you don't, check with the Purser's office or the shore excursion desk.
I have traveled on Carnivel three times, most recently last month. I much prefer booking tours online instead of standing in line, and that eliminates finding out your tour is booked up once you get to the desk. Online will tell you immediately if the tour you want, at the time you've chosen, is full or not.
Hope this helps and that you have a great time. I love cruising!
Dog allergies/dog book
Don't know what kind of a dog but my sister had a Red Setter that had thyroid problems and also an allergy to wheat and so they had to buy special food without wheat which was only "Friskies" and that did help to cure the itching. Oprah had a repeat on about the Dog Whisper and showed how he cured several dogs of being aggressive around other dogs. His book is wonderful. My neighbor got it and it worked for them. Have been luck with my dog, she is now 16 which is very old for her mix -- chow/lab and she has never been aggressive. Did not have any puppy problems with chewing or barking. Of course she got her walks every day of over 2 miles at a time and I think that exercise is the biggest help. Never crated her either and if and when I get another one will not do that to a dog. Mine is now deaf and partially blind but still walks up to the park three times a day, slow but does it. Never an accident in the house. No medications except aspirin. She will probably outlive me.
So, because I have his book I am uneducated?
Hmmmmm.
I ordered the DVD and the book.
I have been applying The Secret for about 2 or maybe a little more weeks now. Also my husband and grown son are using it. We are all experiencing interesting results. I am using it to lose weight and so far have lost several pounds without dieting. My son worked on 5000 dollars and last week received 1000 and then got another 4000. My husband is using it for more energy.
OK-what is your fav book or what are you reading now
My very favorite book is Outlander by Diana Galbadon and I am current re-reading the second book in the Outlander series, Dragonfly in Amber. I would like to reread all 6 of them this summer, but Harry Potter is also coming out, so we'll see. They are all huge books.
Cesar's book
No I don't have that book but I will get it. Thanks for the info. Hopefully we can retrain her to not be aggressive. She does play and loves to play, but only on her terms. She is very ornery at times with the kids. She doesn't like them picking her up. She doesn't like being moved when she's comfortable. She can be fun and cute and playful, but I really don't like her being mean any at all, no time is acceptable to me for her to be mean. And she barks incessantly! At the mail man every day, anytime she sees anyone outside, neighbor, UPS, fedex, she goes berserk! I don't think she'd really hurt them if she could get to them, but I can't afford to take that chance either.
I am using his book as a reference also. Thank you! nm
!
I feel the same way, besides how much is a book? lol
Get a copy of the paperback version or as you said ask if you can read when they are done or check one out at the library.
After all, why not just then go to your bookcase and take one out and wrap it up? lol
Yes, tacky.
book a massage - I had one not that
long ago, and I felt like a new woman, but that only lasted for a couple days :(
Favorite book
I loved the Bobbsey Twins books. Boy, that dates me!
Get the YOU On A Diet book - sm
Follow their advice to the letter and you will see results!!!!
The book was excellent!...sm
I read that when I was around 16 and couldn't put it down. Check it out!
It is in the Good Book....

I read the book. Even better.

May I recommend a book
Which may help?
"The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense." May seem completely unrelated, but I sense a serious problem in the way he responded to you about how "YOU" should have responded to HIS needs.
It is extremely subtle, the technique he is using. I highly recommend the book; difficult to get, out of print. I have a copy and am not willing to give it up....
I could write a book (sm)
But where do I start? I have an ex-husband and had 3 dogs, one of which was incredibly loyal to him even though he never lived in the house since her birth. All she had to hear was, Daddy's coming over tonight, and she would just stare out the window until he arrived.
Well, I moved and only could take 2 dogs, so I told him he had to take Clara (it was a lie, but I felt like they needed each other LOL).
He lives in an efficiency and when he went to work, she managed to do all kinds of crafty things when he was gone.... like taking a half-full can of Diet Coke, spilling in on the bed, and then covering it up with the blankets...
She can get into child-proof locks on the cabinets. He has to put the garbage in his car every day. She opens up the coffee container and just leaves it for him... like... okay... see what I can do?
She is the smartest dog I've seen in my life. When they visit, I swear, she understands what I'm saying.
But the most incredible thing is how she loves him.
He did some Internet searches for things to keep dogs with separation anxiety busy. Remember, she was here with her siblings and me all the time. You might want to check that out. One idea was stuffing an apple with peanut butter. He finally resorted to just leaving the jar open. The cage isn't really a bad idea either if it's a young pup.
One more story... He was walking her and an unleashed dog attacked her. He managed to separate them and get someone to get Clara back in the house, but the door didn't shut tightly. He was still holding the unleashed dog and she bounded out out to defend him. She ended up getting ripped up with over 40 stitches. He's convinced she only came back out for his sake.
Anyhow, sorry for going on, but if any suggestions below don't work (I didn't read them), do a search or email me and I'll give you his email so he might give you some tips.
I was just thinking today how my life revolves around my dogs. I really don't even like leaving the house because I know they hate it. If I miss one of their 'scheduled' walks, I feel guilty. I do have more of a life than my dogs, but... you know... ;-)
His book was really good
He has nice quick little stories constituting his book with words of wisdom thrown in. His book has really changed some of my outlook on things--I have three kids nearly the same ages as his children and a husband who is 2 years older than Randy Pausch. (I'm quite a bit younger.) One (or both) of us possibly could be in a situation like his--you just never know, so live your childhood dreams and leave something for your kids to be proud of...
Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend his book. I haven't been picking up books too much (except to study), but I was drawn to his book sitting there in the new section of my library's shelf. I'm glad I took the couple of hours to read it. It's a quick and interesting read.
Above all, I hope his death was peaceful and as painless as possible and that his wife and children have wonderful memories of him.
where does this book plug in?
Great, now even reading bedtime books to my kids is getting outsourced!
Read this Book
The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe.
You don't have to get mad about pulling funding for schools because it is never going to happen.
You might get mad because of sacrifices YOU personally will be asked to make in your old age, but from here on out, kids will be treated like the future they are. History repeats itself.
old book? Wow. You sure know how to punch someone
in the gut. Some of us hold that "old book" very close and dear. It may not be your bag, but please, if we should accept your point of view, what says you can be so rude about something important to others? Most namely Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ to name a few. BTW: You obviously don't believe in "karma" either from your comment, or the effect a negative energy put out creates.
I don't mean to be rude, but your comment just about some old mythological book sucked the wind out of my sail. Old book, that's nice.
Book Store
Go to a Borders, Barnes & Noble, or like bookstore on Sunday morning. I have met some very nice and interesting gentleman who are emotionally and financially stable. I get one of the coffee drinks from the cafe and hang out in the reading area. Have had some quality conversations with different folks and learned a lot too. I agreed to meet one fellow at an astronomy club meeting that evening. The next day we met in a public park for a group bird watching walk.
