Sometimes the houses are in really bad shape inside. Is it empty? Are you able to go look in the windows? Also, if the past owners are still in there, you may have to pay to have them evicted and, depending on the type of people they are, they may destroy the place before they move out. You need to check the laws in your state/county/municipality. Good luck!

its crazy but it depends on what state you live in.
here in Missouri there is no law stating that a kid has to be any certain age to be left home alone. isnt that rediculous????crazy..makes no sence. my nextdoor neighbors kids are home everyday after school for 3-5 hours...depending on what time the mom gets off work, they are 9-girl and 6-boy..she checked on the laws before telling me cuz she knew i would turn her in. i just told her adn the kids if they ever needed anything, i am right next door...but i cant babysit.
It depends on the state you live in with regard to the requirements to get a CPA.

Once again, depends on the state.....

As already said it depends on the state,
although it strikes me as odd that Louisiana does not have a disclosure law regarding this.
Depends on the laws in your state...
... at least as far as I know, but in California, it's EASIER to get unemployment if you are terminated, rather than voluntarily leaving a job, because if you voluntarily leave, they want to know why, and you had better have some VERY good reasons, such as a well-documented case for a hostile work environment and all that.
In the meantime, you need to IMMEDIATELY document anything you've been told, such as the fact that you've been given a warning; if it was verbal, write down every single detail of it you can remember, and the date and time and by whom it was given. If it was written, take it (or a copy) home.
Other than that... is there any way you could sit down with somebody and ask for suggestions on how to improve your performance on the problem dictators? Are there sample transcriptions available to refer to? Are there other MTs who have less trouble than you on those dictators, whom you could ask for help with their phrasing and pronunciation peculiarities?
Do let us know what happens.... What a sorry state of affairs.
Depends on where you live and
the racial diversity around that community. I have no problem with it. Better a happy relationship then an abusive or dysfunctional one.
Depends on where you live I think.
I live in a state with deposits on bottles. The deposits add up VERY quickly. Used to live in a state that had no deposits, and no there was no money to be made for recycling. I did it as a child for cash but it fizzled out quickly as it was not worth the trouble. I say let them give it a go. They will probably decide to give it up on their own without you saying anything. :)
At any rate, I think it is very responsible of them to try to find ways of earning their own money and not just asking for handouts!

If cold and dreary and can't get out, it will only add to your feelings of depression/isolation, etc. SAD (seasonal affective disorder) is common in winter. Stress on top of stress - plus this job equals misery. I feel for you. If you can get out, please do and get some light on your face and bones, it does help. Enhance your self-esteem, ask for help, like you did, and take vitamins, eat properly, 3 meals plus 2 snacks - eat less but more often. Join the Oprah Live Your Best Life Program. It's free and wonderful advice, internet classes, etc. This week I have started the diet, downloaded Suze Orman's book free, attended a class tonight for 1-1/2 hours with Dr. Bob Green on diet which will be available tomorrow, along with his free diet book online for a month. I feel better already because I am putting myself on the priority list instead of everyone else first. Well, I am trying at least! Put yourself first, get some good advice, continue to ask for help and take care of YOU! Feel better, please. 
Pretty sure it depends on where you live
some states by registered voters, others by driver's license, and then some have a combo list drawn from both sources.
Well, that depends on where you live I guess.

It depends where you live. In California, they
have beautiful mobile home parks with lots of amenities. The houses are so expensive there that many people are going to mobiles. In Texas, we have a lot of trailer park trash type places, but in Austin they are building really nice mobile home parks like in California. There aren't many of them though. A few other communities in other states are doing the same. They do depreciate, however. My husband used to sell them and many are crap. Check out ratings on the manufacturers.
It also depends in what climate you live ....nm..

Look into the state where you live.
Most now have online FAQ sections. Look for child custody or friend of the court with your state. I know in my state they mandate court appointed psychological evaluations. They do them as a mix of the family. (i.e. father-son, son only, mother-son, and so on.) I think this format would definitely be in your favor.
What state do you live in?....sm
I had no idea you could make up to that much. That must be just in the state where you live. I haven't seen anything around here like that, but I will keep my eyes open.
I live for state fairs!
I'll drive up to 2 hours away...I especially love the really small country fairs. The more animals and ag displays, the bigger my smile. I always don my overalls and boots too--gotta maximize the overall hayseed effect doncha know, plus you never know when you're gonna step in poo so might as well dress appropriately! ;-)

Crowns are a lot more expensive here in Georgia, especially around the Atlanta area, going rate is $1800. Crazy isn't it?

In Michigan, we have a mandatory reporting law. That cop was wrong. All law enforcement, medical, mental health, teacher, and clergy are mandated by law to report any signs of abuse they are aware of. He should have helped you or gave some advice.
Get your kids out of the situation now. This is abuse, both physical and mental. There is also sexual abuse involved, in regards to his grabbing you and harrassing you. The domestic violence shelter can help. They will help you get a lawyer. The court should make him move out of the house so you and the kids can live there until the divorce is final. I don't know all the legalities of it, but get out now.

Calling all you animal lovers - live and let live or intervene? - sm
I have a dilemma. I am an animal lover and have something I cannot come to a conclusion about. At a restaurant where I eat lunch every Friday with a friend of mine, I have noticed a young male kitty hanging around outside looking for food. This past week he ran up to my friend and rubbed her legs and quietly meowed. I purposely did not try to pet him because I knew I would get attached and ignored him. Well, ever since then I find myself thinking about him and wanting to rescue him. Meanwhile, I already have 4 inside cats (2 rescues, 2 Maine Coons) and hubby really does not want another cat in the house because a few years ago I promised we would never have more than 4 (had up to 5 at one point previously). I actually have a huge screened deck he could stay on indefinitely because I do not believe in letting cats run loose for their own safety. I could provide plenty of food, a warm place to sleep, and veterinary care. At some point I would even probably work him into our household, but I just cannot do it at the moment. Just not sure I would be doing right by that kitty because I am sure he would be upset and confused for a good while as to where he was and what was going on, but is that better than being hungry and cold? I know there are lots of animal lovers out there. What does everyone think?? 
I'm a live-and-let-live person but had to draw the line
after I found HUGE holes in the walkway between my house and barn. I thought they were just little mice stealing grain, but then I spotted one and it was a HONKIN RAT! My poor olderly cat was out there with me at the time and saw it, and he hissed at it and ran away!
I asked for advice on what to do at a local agricultural board, because I have other animals and didn't want to use poison and conventional traps weren't working. They advised putting a large pale of water out with some seeds floating in it, figuring the rats would go for the seeds and end up drowning. That was a no-go because the water just froze up solid. I wound up reluctantly going with Decon because I just can't have my house destroyed. I haven't had seen any more rats or evidence of them stealing grain, so I'm guessing they have died. The guy at the grain store promised me the rats would not die in the building and stink the joint up, rather they would crawl off and die outside. I don't know if I believe that, as it is still winter here and decomposition would be holding off until it warms up. We'll see, but at least the destruction has been halted.
Good luck and I too say have no mercy, because you just don't need them destroying hour house or causing a spark chewing wires and burnin' the place down. It is war!

Make them live outside? This is so funny! Ours live outside, where they WANT to be. sm
Not all dogs want to be in "indoor" dogs, mind you. They have plenty of space to run around and play, fenced, and if they are brought in during bad weather they whine at the back door to go back out! So before you comment on outside dogs, you really need to get your facts straight. Seriously. Not all dogs are made or want to be inside all of the time.
well....it depends on how you look at it.
I think your Halloween decorations sound great!! Pretty spooky, IMO. It depends on how you look at the situation. Halloween, in reality, is not just a fun holiday. It actually stands for All Hallow's Eve and if you are into pagan religion this is your favorite night of the whole year...it is the Devil's New Year. We have been celebrating this holiday forever, but just for fun and tricks, BUT...at the same time pagans have been celebrating "the new year."
The preacher as well as God's people come with responsibilities and duties to fulfill--a preacher just has a tougher role (leadership)to fill. Not my rule, God's rule.
At the same time, he is not supposed to totally interfere with your life. He should not judge you (10 commandments say "Thou shalt not judge") and if he has said everything you have told here, then he has placed a judgement on you, which he will be held accountable for. Sometimes Christians (regardless if Baptist, etc)can get themselves in major trouble just by the way they word something. In reality, what he should have done was just prayed to God for your family (not saying anything bad about you--just what he or any Christian who feels offended in some way should do)and asked God for His help in dealing with his feelings towards your decorations.
Hope this helps!! Have a great day!!
Depends where she gets them. sm
We were in California, and she bought from some costume firm in Chicago. Usuall ran anywhere from $60 to $90 for costume for each recital.
$54 for six weeks is a decent price. Sorry you can't watch. We were always allowed to stay for the session, and show up at the end and watch. That seems strange to me.
It depends.
I have one on right now but some days the girls breathe
It depends on the kid (SM)
I have 3 girls. They are all so different that they cannot be grouped by behavior based on their gender alone. The oldest has so much 'tude and is quite difficult. The second is a breeze. The third, well, she's 1, so I don't know too much yet, but she seems to be the easiest of them all.

My newphew is on it and has lost almost all his weight. He had tried several things, including So. Beach, but nothing worked. He had gained weight after knee surgery, etc. - needed to get it off because his work is teaching martial arts!
He says the food is good. It is costly, however.
I can't afford it, so I'm just counting calories and keeping a food diary. I just write down the time, the food and the # of calories I eat throughout the day. Putting it on paper keeps me honest and I like trying to keep it at 1200 or less calories a day.
depends on what you are looking for
and how old kids are. Cape Cod, White Mountains/Conway NH, Maine seacoast, Olde Orchard Beach, Boston, Lake Winnepesaukie (sp) in New Hampshire.
That depends... Here is a tip
Contributions can either go to a general fund which goes toward regular expenses, i.e. lights, cleaning, etc. You may also designate that contribution to a special program, i.e. youth department, sound system, etc. All contributions that are designated can not be spent on anything else except for that particular program. As for the cards, that is a personal decision. Generally, a card to the family addressed to the spouse is sufficient. My suggestion would be to mark a date on your calendar a month from now and do a follow up call. See how the family is doing and check for any specific needs. Often times they just need to talk.... so be available.
I not sure but I believe it depends
on the risk level. There is a sex offender living directly behind us. He was a high school coach and had an affair with a student. She was 16 or 17. Her mother found a ton of revealing love letters between them and she gave him warning once if it did not stop, she is going to turn him in. It did not stop so she turned him in. The gal was willing but still he was the adult in the situation and he should not have taken advantage of her. Anyway, I have seen him exercising in the park. I don't think I have seen him at ballgames though.
I think it depends on the kid...sm
I have 3 and of course they all have different personalties. My oldest DS started about the age of 2 and he was a snap. Then my DD came along and she was, and still is, so stubborn and strong-willed. She was probably almost 3 before she was potty trained. Then youngest DS was probably 3 1/2 before he was out of diapers. Never thought I would get through those days, and now they are 20, 17, and 15.

Is it just you? If so,I'd wait and draw full plus work. If you don't need the $$,go ahead and retire. I'd probably wait anyway because I don't know what I'd do with all that free time!

Insurance laws have changed but when I worked for an insurance company you had to be covered by that insurance company nine months for the birth to be covered. Otherwise everyone would go out and get insurance during their ninth month. But since they have that new law with continuous coverage and if it is a group plan, it might be different. You have to be upfront about it, cannot hide it so might as well call your new insurance and ask them but be sure you get a manager or someone who knows what they are talking about, see something in writing about what is covered on your new plan, etc. It should be in there. But do not be shocked if it is not covered because like I said, they sometimes do require nine months of coverage or else they call it a pre-existing condition. Also lots of times they will not cover the pre-delivery testing either. Again, get some information from your new company so you can decide if you need to COBRA over or not. Good luck, let us know what you find out.

I think it really depends on who the boys are and how well you know them. When I was a kid, I only had guy friends so there were no real sleepovers with the girls and my guy friends would never have dreamed of doing anything rude or anything to me to be afraid of. I am only 30, so it wasn't that long ago. I think it would depend on the girl and if I knew the boys she hung around with. Obviously, you wouldn't want her to do that with boys she didn't know or couldn't be trusted, but I never had friends like that I was close to. I know a 19-year-old who is the same way and is the daughter of one of my good friends. She has a several best friends who are boys and my friend never had to worry about them sleeping over or camping or going out of town. I wouldn't say no if you know them and you know your daughter. it would be different maybe if she was going camping with her boyfriend or with strangers.... then I might have to think about whether or not that was really okay with me as a mother in your situation.
It depends on the day.
School mornings are crazy so its usually a granola bar, pop tart, piece of fruit or something of the like and then maybe a mid morning bowl of cereal, oatmeal, or cream of wheat.
On weekends my hubs is usually the one up early so he usually makes a traditional-type breakfast with eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, etc. or pancakes, french toast, or waffles.
During the summer I went through a homemade egg mcmuffin sandwich phase. Those were quick and easy but not quick enough for school mornings.
Funny, we had breakfast for dinner last night. Scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns, toast, bacon, and OJ. It's been a long time since I have done that and I told my hubs this should be a once a week dinner. Its so simple, easy, and healthier than a lot of other stuff. Besides kids love it! :)
Just this morning I was thinking I need some new ideas for quick mornings but i hate buying prepackaged stuff like poptarts.
Depends. How old is he? sm
Will you incur penalties? Can you roll it over into something guaranteed? Depends on your situation.

Well, the sets I saw are "cheaper", but not the "same" set you find from American Girl directly. I.e. The Molly doll came with a cuople of outfits, a stand, a couple of books, and I think her pet, which not the exact same set. So it is more than just the doll and one book, but less expensive to get all of that stuff it comes with separately. The doll and book alone from american girl is less $$ but does not include the extra outfit, etc. I didn't watch when it was on in Sept., so maybe they have other accessories or furniture on the show too. I am guessing they sell out fast! Also, if you have not done this, check out the American Girl website for the sales and monthly specials. Over the summer, I got a $40 toboggan for $20 - of course you do have the shipping charge but still cheaper. So they do have some good deals there too, just that there may or may not be an item to go with the doll you have or are looking for...
It depends on what you buy.
My in-laws lose power all the time so they invested in a whole house generator that is built in so all they have to do is flip a switch and their power is back on. They run everything and you can't tell any difference. It cost them thousands to do this but they saved to have it done before retirement.
Prior to that they had the generators you buy at the hardware store and it only ran the refridgerator and heat. You could add the lights for a short period of time but they were very dim. Those they had to fill with gas every couple hours and it was a lot of work.
That reminds me to charge up my other computer and cell phones too.
I'm somewhere in PA, depends what
TV news you listen to; i.e., Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (3 stations), Phila., Lancaster, etc.. LOL
I'm closer to the Berks/Lancaster area and nobody ever heard of vinegar on scrapple. I grew up that way. It does give a bit of zing to the scrapple yet doesn't hide the true flavor.
We grew our tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets this year. They did really good. You could do it too. We experiment every year with 1 or 2 plants to try to get fresh tomatoes through the winter. Did it 1 year a long time ago, but failed to write down what we did, so we've been testing and testing..
Depends on their age and I think I would
let them ask. My ex told my daughter about some stuff that she didn't ask about, which I really did not appreciate. If they ask I wouldn't lie, but I would not volunteer anything.
I think a lot depends on what
others did for you. Did they call and offer their condolences? Did they see you in person and express their sympathy. In this cyber age, cards seem to be a thing of the past.
My neighbor (friend and hair stylist) recently lost her father-in-law very suddenly. I have been friends with their family for years, including the widow. I didn't realize it until just now, but I never sent either of them a sympathy card. I did, however, make 2 trays of stuffed shells and pumpkin pie (it was in the fall) for both families. The items were very much appreciated.
I would try not to take it personally, especially if some of these people acknowledged your loss personally. As far as not giving cards, that's up to you, but I do what I do because it makes me feel good -- not because I expect something in return. I certainly don't mean that to sound harsh or offensive, it's just how I feel.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother. I can't imagine how painful that must be. I'm sure she loved you very much!
Well now...that depends
MC and Visa can still be accepted if you refuse to show id and the card is signed. Of course, if you haven't signed the back, it could probably be refused as tender because of the disclaimer "not valid unless signed" on the back of your card.
Other cards, other rules.
In several states you can be asked for id, but it is illegal to write any of the info on the receipt or make a copy. That is a big no-no. There are, of course, exceptions if you are using the cc for things like security deposit and so on.
As a note, my nationwide company does not require us to check id if the card is signed and the signatures match. If it is unsigned, we are supposed to ask for id--going back to the "valid card" issue.
Also, if you are really that upset about having to show id I would suggest using cash. It's awfully difficult to commit id fraud with that :)
It depends
The first sentence would be a fact (if it's assumed that the person saying it is sincere).
The second could be an opinion since it is speaking of someone else's preferences. Does the person making the statement know for sure the mom feels that way (fact) or just his/her perception (opinion)?
Funny how almost anything can get confusing when dissected.
well, that all depends on the kid, I think
I'll try not to make this too long, but my son is borderline autistic/asperger's which we did not recognize until he was into his 20s.
Incredibly intelligent kid, self-taught. For all intents and purposes, and I shan't go into detail, he dropped out of school in the 8th grade. He got his GED when he was 19 in the top 90th percentile.
But he still did nothing with his life.
I'm a single mother so I know I over-compensated due to guilt and didn't force him to do things, but he was such a loner, never causing any problems or even causing a stress on finances. Just food. He had his computer. That was his life.
He found a GF through the internet. A college student in our community. His sister, younger, followed the natural course of things and began going to college. So... he had 2 girls in the house in school, great achievers, his GF w/4.0 and his sister with 3.8 and both LOVING school (sister now is away at college, a senior).
He entered college 2 years ago with intentions of becoming a teacher. He has come out of his shell. He is still short of terrified of social situations, but I can't help but think what would have happened if he was forced into any situation that he wasn't ready for or comfortable with.
Your have to listen and know your child. If they are using your home as a shelter to do nothing, and you know they have the ability to do otherwise, maybe you should give them other guidelinen besides following the rules... or if you think they need that shelter emotionally for any reason, you should listen to that too.
In my heart, I knew my son's intentions were not to mooch off me for the rest of my life, but I just didn't have what it takes to push him into doing what I knew he was capable of doing. I just knew somehow he would.
Now he's right up there with the girls. After 2 years, he's at a 4.0 too and pretty much loving school.
Yeah, my kids are welcome here as long as they need to be, but if the circumstances were different, my answer would be too.
Depends...
Is the account verbatim where no matter how ridiculous it may sound, unless it's simply a 'right/left' or 'he/she' change, the MT is supposed to mindlessly transcribe whatever is dictated? You do indicate that is precisely what is dictated.
Hard to find fault when MTs have it driven into their heads to not use their brains and transcribe whatever the clinician says.
IMHO, can't ding her AT ALL FOR TRANSCRIBING WHAT WAS DICTATED.
C'est fait.

Used to be every year, now it's every 2. I get the written prescription & then get my contacts online. MUCH cheaper. Don't let the optometrist tell you they can't write you an rx just because they don't want to lose out on their enormous markup.
