Who has rubbed your nose in it that is now effected by the economic crisis?
For me...
Investment broker - not much call for stocks these days
Mortgage broker - self-explanatory
Realtor - again.....
All of these people were filthy rich and looked down on me, the lowly transcriptionist, who worked at home, who "really did not work", and look at them now.
I am the richest woman I know...which is not saying much.

join me --- misery loves company
 Truthfully, though, no one can quit until it's their time. I just had to finally get really disgusted with myself. I owe this to my child. My best friend just died at age 54 two weeks ago from lung cancer. My father died at age 58 of the same. My sister is currently in the hospital with pulmonary emboli (even though she has never smoked). And lastly, rumor has it the price is going up to $8 a pack in my state. By just not smoking for the last five days, I already have an extra $50 in my wallet. Wow. I am the smartest woman and I know, and yet how can I continue to be so stupid? That's where I'm at mentally. I really want to succeed this time. Now, where are those carrot sticks?
misery and company
I'm not glad that you all suffer too, but a little relieved. Mine is a little like an electrical hum - white noise came to mind for me also. I wonder if computer error tones started mine as it happened right after I had a series of bad dictations where I turned the volume up really high and then when I hit something wrong I got a very loud tone - someone has since told me how to change it to a more tolerable sound.
All I can say is...me too!!! At least you have company in your misery!! (nm)

mine LOVES coconut lime verbena from BABW. LOVES it
it's the smell -- just smells "clean" plus i think it reminds him of me ... weirdly, even my teen sons say it smells nice and clean and they like it too! smells bring about different calms in people... no way should you worry.
misery
The only way to be truly miserable is to think that the situation you are in is permanent....and it is not.
Thinking that bad people get away with the things they do is short-sighted. You will live long enough to see each and every one of them fall on their face.
Sounds like low pay and misery to me sm
but I have always been able to make at least $25 an hour doing transcription. I could not stand the atmosphere at an elementary school, but would have appreciated the holidays, etc, when my kids were younger. I guess it is a toss up. Either you are a great MT and can do good lines, or you get another job, and compromise on the pay.
I tried a big company, but
I didn't like the rigidity of their plan. You want somebody who is flexible in the cleaning rotation if they rotate their area of concentration. I mean, this company wanted to waste a clean by detailing my office and bedroom and laundry area. Nobody sees those areas, so if I have company coming over, attention needs to be paid to the areas we'll be using, you know? But they had to follow their national plan.
Plus, DH and I didn't appreciate having to spend every other day off preparing for them to come. Some days you want to spend in the yard and let the house go, but when somebody is coming to clean, you need to have picked up so they can vacuum and wipe counters, etc.
Which company did you use? NM

I went with a company...sm
We went with InCharge. The credit cards were out of hand and I was fed up. It took 1-2 months to get everything set up. We pay them $40 a month for their service, but the interest rates were knocked down to 6% so we are still saving bunches of money. We have have all the credit cards paid off in 2 more years. As for working out something with the credit card companies directly, they would not work with us so this is the route we went. Do not regret it at all.
Which company has this.
:
Oh, and he SAYS he loves her dog.
Muslims aren't supposed to have dog saliva touch them. Curiously, he LOVES the dog but I have seen him raise his LEG to the dog and the dog cower. Psycho wacko freak job.
My dad has one. He loves it and so
do I. Just couldn't afford one myself.
The only man I know who loves being
He says he enjoys it..it is peaceful and quiet...when the wife and her kids and grandkids come home it is like WWF. Chaos, screaming, yelling, fighting. No wonder the boy drinks!
loves!!!!!
what is this dogster website im going to have to join! second one ive seen on here today!
beautiful
i LOVE dogs :)
unwanted company
Ditto -- Just don't answer the door. We moved to the country to get away from that sort of thing and it still happens. I hate it too.
Just because a company offers 8....
Just because a company offers 8 cpl doesn't mean they won't up that for experience. I was offered 8 and said no and now I get 10 cpl.
For what company? See, that's the thing - I
have tested for numerous companies, and passed with flying colors, then when it comes down to the job offer, they offer me about what I am making now. That is why I would like to just know what companies out there are paying 10 cpl so I can just bypass all the ones that offer low pay; otherwise, I just see myself wasting my time, taking all these tests and in the end being offered no more than what I'm getting now. Can anyone out there who makes 10 cpl tell me what company they work for?
Actually, I worked for a PC company
a long time ago supervising the commercial aspect. They always tell you that, but they can and do die in walls. We were sent out many times to cut them out after people insisted on using poison.
The best advice that I can offer is that once you get rid of them, you seal off any areas where they can get back in. If you don't do that, then you will continue to have problems.
Now rats instead of mice, I don't know what to tell you to do if they are eating through the walls!
Me personally though, I had a rat as a pet. In fact, we had to put her to sleep about a month ago.
Maybe you should contact the company...

The big company I used was awful.
Different people every time and they used a special schedule they could not alter when I had a special request. An individual would be more flexible, but make sure they are bonded and paying taxes so you don't run into trouble with the IRS.
Would it be possible to ask the phone company--sm
to come out and inspect your line? I don't see where a lawyer would be any good at this point, until something is either proven or disproven. Good luck.
Can't Garnish a Company
You can't "garnish" a company. Garnishment only works with an employer willing to work you court to fork over money from an "employee." You're talking about a company (is it incorporated?) If you didn't go to small claims already, that's your only (best) way out. That way, the company rep MUST show up in court to answer your claim, or offer a settlement. Unless you do some strong-armed persuasion through the local press and exposing the outfit any way you can I don't see any other way out. Also, in our county it's more like $50 to file the complaint, but you can recoup that from the debtor as part of the settlement. And, don't let the small claims court clerk tell you that you need an attorney. You don't--unless you want one. They clerk is duty-bound by their oath to assist citizens in filing their own documents. They can't give you legal advice, but they can and should make sure your paperwork is okay to file the claim. Also, you can always check in with the state attorney general. They could probably work with this as a fraud case and you might have some recourse there. Also, your state--secretary of state for your state would have information on the legalities of this company, which also if you filed a claim in Small Claims Court you could subpoena documents from the company directly to find out their bank, accounting records, etc. Good luck again.
They are all one company , and out of Grenada. sm
illegal in a lot of states.
How about either you or her working for a company .....sm
that offers tuition reimbursement. My brother and sister obtained their degrees this way. It took a lot longer since they both had to work full-time but the education was free.
Some companies offer tuition reimbursement for their employees and immediate family. Might have to do your research but certainly worth it.
I think the only thing is the student would have to pass the class otherwise the company sends you the tuition bill.
BTW, the company I advise you
to avoid is
The Cleaning Authority.
They have a rigid schedule they refuse to deviate from, they mark up your walls with their tools, and they break furniture. They don't know how to properly clean a laminate floor or sinks. You have different workers each time, so tipping well makes no difference in the job they do. Complete waste of money, no matter how many times you meet with the supervisor.
This company seems very sketchy....SM
There is no way I would ever accept this type of job, no matter how desperate I was. No decent company does this to a person. It's like throwing a goldfish in with a bunch of sharks. I would strongly advise him against this.
CUSTODY not company LOL

we had a local company that came out to
maybe you just had a bad customer service rep?
His time, not company's.

LOL! Thanks! I'm an MT who loves QA feedback.NM
Wow! Y our son sounds like my son! He loves...
PS2 and he loves Legos!!! We got the PS2 for his birthday a few months ago and he plays it all the time!! Of course, I have to set a limit to the time because if I didn't, he would be there all day long!!! Merry Christmas!!!
My husband loves them
xx00
Oh, I had those hugs and loves and all
in earlier years, the works but you would be totally surprised what a chunk of money can do to a person. I never would have thought in a million years and I did instill good values in the kids and never for 1 minute have thought I have failed. I would bite my tongue off before I spoke to a parent of mine like this 1 did about my getting the money. You hear about families fighting in the courts about property left to 1 and not the other and money and things like that- it is not unusual and even though he got over $50,000.00 from this family member, he thought he should have the rest of what was in the bank which I got. It can happen. Oh, by the way, raised with stepfather that both seemed to be pretty close to. I know this sounds harsh but I will not take abuse from him, from my husband or any other person. His father did not give 1 red cent for his upbringing- I did that all. Oh, this son is married so he has his wifes family and that is all he thinks he needs anyway. I do not lose any sleep over this. Never a pushover here and do not intend to start now.
Ditto! 27+ yrs together and he still says he loves me EVERY day, AND thanks me

Loves of my life are
the 2 male cats my hubby brought home from Wal-Mart, some guy had them outside. Guy said found beside road, who knows and really how cares. They are wonderful, gorgeous brothers, long coats, black and white and I love being able to stroke them with 1 hand while still working (do a lot of editing so can do this). I had them fixed at an early age and believe in that but still will feed any stray that comes in my yard or I see out anywhere.
My cat loves cantaloupe
She goes crazy if she even smells it when we open the refrigerator.
My 19 y.o. daughter loves him. nm

You find out what the kid loves the best
and that is what you take away. I have 2 children, both grown. Whereas 1 thing would work with 1 (taking switching and YES, I do believe in them), the other 1 would do anything to not have a switching. So 1 kid did not want to stay grounded and the other did not want the switches so that is exactly what they got. You have to take away anything that pleases them the most. I would go with the thing she likes the least which here appears to be the in school suspension (and it would not stop just at school, punishment should continue at home as well.) You say think barbaric? I went to a very big school as teenager, no fights, no cussing, no acting out- you know something? I would almost guarantee that all got switchings/belts/swattings, or what I would call almost down home beatings and everyone that I knew and grew up with knew how to get along, the majority turned out well, prosperous, good humans. We did not suffer, instead I am thankful for the times I was punished. That is what has gone very wrong with the kids now. They are so out of control. I would never think about talking back to an adult, teacher, parent or otherwise. I had total respect and still do for my elders.
My DD loves hers. Interesting. nm

I get them all the time...everyone loves them

I understand that your dog loves you,
but your dog is a pit bull and they can attack spontaneously whether they are provoked or not. There is no way to predict it. Why risk someone's life?
I don't have any dogs because my husband is allergic to them, but I would absolutely love to have one because I understand they can provide that kind of unconditional love, and frankly, we all need that! I would never, however, choose a breed that is known to be unpredictable and dangerous and could maim or kill someone I love or a stranger walking down the street were I too slow to close the door or forget to close a gait securely and an accident occur.
There are lots of breeds that demonstrate the kind of dedication and love that you describe. My mom has a mixed dog (Pyrenees/St. Bernard) who is a genuine companion to her. She is obedient and trustworthy and gentle. You can get a dog who genuinely loves you who is not a pit bull. I truly hope you never encounter a time when your dog misconstrues your actions and you trigger some instinct that tells her she is in danger, or that you are in danger from another person. Tragedy could strike so quickly.
When a man loves a woman got
me going, as well as Ghost and Simon Birch, believe it or not. DH thought I was crazy.
Very cool! I bet he loves it! (nm)
My daughter loves
the swaddle blankets that have Velcro for keeping in place when you wrap them up.
Since you are not supposed to have them wear coats in the car seats, she lays that in (is pretty thin, buckles the baby up, and then wraps it around (over the buckles). He looks like a little hot dog when she is done. :)
She has also been using it in bed at night. They say not to cover babies up anymore, but his little hands were cold and was not sleeping well. She swaddled him in one of those blankets, and he slept so much better! Being so young he could not move enough to get it unhooked or get it over his face. He will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. :)
Well, because the company that has me on file is local, all I can do is sm
forward you to this legitimate website http://www.volition.com/mysteryUSA1.html
You will have to do a lot of legwork and contact the BBB, but it's worth it. Some are national, some are local. I am in south GA. So unless you are local, I can only forward you to this website. Good luck!
finding a new mortgage company...sm
Is at the top of my agenda for this year, but it was the plan all along to refinance this year anyway, so...thanks for the support y'all!
Thanks. I am total IC and work for one company..sm
and I have worked for them for 3 years. I do have a FED ID #, as my employer requested that I have one when I first started. Hence, I also have a business name, but I file under my SS# and my personal name, not my business. I thought maybe that would make a difference. I still have the letter, as I keep all of that stuff *just in case.* I know that being an IC, we are *suppose* to file quarterly and I did read somewhere that there may be fines involved if you don't, so I did not think too much about it when it happened. I file in April and everything is in their officed prior to the 15th, so that could not be a reason why the fine, either. Needless to say, I am confused. Maybe I will seek out an accountant this year and leave all that stuff in their hands. It is getting to be a drag and too time consuming for me anyway. just trying to save a buck, even though I know it is deductible. thanks for answering me. I appreciate it.
just me, does that company have a website? If so, would you post it please?
The pharmaceutical company that makes it (sm)
will often offer assistance - go to their web site and check it out. Also Ameriplan, but you would have to check that out too as I am nto sure how much it helps.
Try the company that makes the drug.
We got on a plan for my son through the company and he gets his meds free (Concerta) for at least the next year.
