There is a news report just coming in on the hamburger drama. The chief of police said so much salt put on it was actually caked on, looked like shards of glass and not only that but pepper put on some heavily that the lettuce was entirely black.

Not unless it's something extra that they just want. They
still make VERY good money for the amount of hours they work. 
Sorry about the extra P! NM

We just put every extra dollar
We could toward paying all the unsecured debt we had until we only owed for the house. Then we decided we didn't really need to be living so grandly, and we really weren't living where we wanted to be anyway, so we quit jobs, sold the house and bought a smaller one where we wanted to live outright with the profit. We had a few thousand left so hubby could take a bit of time and look for work. He's an industrial electrician, so he can really work anywhere. I decided to go in a different direction career-wise, and decided to become an MT.
It's not just MTs though I think we are extra prone to it.
I had much food for thought after talking to a friend the other day about my own antisocial tendencies. She said she had a friend who was extremely outgoing whose job had turned into a telecommuting job and she had practically turned into a hermit. My friend observed that it must be even worse for MTs who are the type of people who tend to be more introverted anyway. I thought she had a real point there.
Maybe a mall job wouldn't be so bad, if you have the time. Or volunteering somewhere you're interested in?
Weight gain, I can't help you with....I had to make peace with my big hips years ago. LOL.
And put on a few extra pounds?

I think the obese should have to pay extra for
and let's not forget the alcohol consumers.
Has anyone ever made any extra...sm
money selling things on ebay? I have went through the closets and have a lot of things I need to get rid of. I am posting them on ebay. After selling those things I may open an ebay store with things I may buy cheap and resell. I even thought about making little throw pillows and throws and things. I can make pillows. My mom is great at sewing and I can sew some things. Just a thought. Anything to make some extra cash.
Has anyone had success selling on ebay?
I do not plan to BUT will get an extra - sm
vehicle they can use, but it will not be theirs so to speak. My parents unfortunately treated my brothers and I differently. They were allowed to get jobs while in HS, save up and buy a car which they both did. I was not allowed to work at all with in HS, therefore no way I was able to save up and buy a car. Lucky for me all my friends either were given cars or had access to one that was a family spare. My one brother was kind enough to let me use his car for the whole summer after I graduated HS as he was unable to have it where he was living at the time. My senior year in college my parents allowed me to use my dad's second car (an antique) which unfortunately the brakes failed on. I think out of guilt, and as a pre-graduation present my parents bought me a Nissan Sentra wagon so I could haul all my junk around, and so I could get to work (worked 2 jobs while at school and usually rode a bicycle but it got wreaked when I took a turn to fast and crashed). I am sure that went over like a lead balloon with my brothers but my college cost a third of what theirs did so they could not gripe too much. After that initial car I was on my own, paid my insurance, etc. though my dad did lend me the difference on the money I needed to buy a Blazer in 1989 (bank would not give me the full amount I needed) which was kind of him. But I will not spoil them by giving them a car....my neighor has gotten his daughter 3 of those new Mustangs so far, she is 17, has totaled 2 so far. I still cannot believe how stupid they are.
Working all day Sat. for a little extra money so -
I can afford enough gas to drive into town on Sundays.
Life is Simple:
* Wake.
* Work.
* Eat (when I can afford it.)
* Work.
* Sleep.
* Repeat.
second that on condos. worth the extra $$$
we liked that a lot!!
If I find something to sell or do for extra $,
Of course, if they'd pay me a living wage, I wouldn't have to do that. But since they don't, no way would I ever have any guilt about it. It's all about SURVIVAL.
Plus there are ways of making that extra day
There may be temp work to be had for 1 day a week (a good way to explore other jobs). Or devote one day a week to starting a small business of your own, such as on eBay, or crafts, or doing odd jobs in the neighborhood.
Another way is to spend the day working on the house. Things there weren't time for with a 5-day workweek, like finishing that deck or BBQ pit in the back yard, or replacing a leaky toilet or faucet, painting, weatherstripping, insulating etc. There are lots of things that can: add value to the house, improve heating/cooling efficiency, etc.
Or, maybe one day a week take a class at the local junior college, trade school, etc. It could pay off in just doing something fun or interesting, or in working towards an unfinished degree, or in learning a new trade altogether.
I never mind the extra for shipping, have you seen those stores?!? lol
I do very little shopping at the big stores, NEVER during a sale, and most I do on line every year. I will sometimes even shop from home other times throughout the year when there are big sales, because many stores have the sales on line too, and if you have a credit card they will email you a notice and sometimes even offer free shipping or other deals. To me, it's just not worth going out and dealing with all that madness, it's too stressful and who needs that. Not me :)
Surprise extra blessing today.
We got out of the house and took Sasha to the dog park. In talking to a couple there, we told them how we lost Misha. The husband blurted out that he remembered Misha. I thought he meant from trips to the dog park, but no, he explained he was a vet tech at NCSU, and had cared for Misha on Christmas Eve. I got to meet and hug a guy that helped Misha get outside for her business and who sat with her and comforted her in her last hours. As the phenobarbital was controlling her health problems, he was soothing her spirit. He thought she was wonderful and he took great care of my baby when I couldn't be there. What a blessing God gave me to know she was cared for that way.
Would love to make extra money BUT
I have gone through the initial call with this company, some VERY nice people but the thing I do not like is you have to buy products each month and then get other people involved, is it any different now? The products seem like they would be pretty good, natural etc. Thanks!
Absolutely but if I can stay a few extra days
by just working a few hours each day - I'm there!
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that
s
OOPS!! Meant 300 per person and extra 300
Sorry, got the numbers mixed up.
Ideas to earn extra income
In addition to your regular career what do you or your family do to bring in a little extra cash? I started a garden this year and it is doing so well that I think I may try for the local farmer's market next year. Not looking to make a fortune but it would be great if it could pay for extra things like a day at the zoo or pizza and a movie.
eBay is great for extra income...
and also to get things on the cheap. I haven't done it in months so can't really you a monthly amount, but looking forward to getting back into. Good luck to you.
I'd pay extra for shipping at this point if they can guarantee delivery. nm

I'm one of the few Grinches here who agrees with you. Enough w/the stress & extra calories in the

Do you think you look better with a little extra weight as you age so your face doesnt look as thin.
Just curious as to what you think.
I just hugged my Golden for an extra long time
I'm so sad for this poor dog. I know it is at Rainbow Bridge and at peace but what a horrible way for it to die, and it sounds as if it's life wasn't too hot either.  I hope it's owners get the book thrown at them.
To poster below, I have seen on TV for heatstroke they put alcohol on the pads/paws which supposedly helps cool them, also cold water on the body, etc. (I watch Emergenc Vets on TV sometimes - love those docs).
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

monthly plan her with 10.00 extra for unlimited testing = 30/mo. no msg

Thanks for the information.
These are the things I was hoping to hear...don't want to do something I will regret later. :)
Thank you for the information.
I will be checking it out. My husband and I have talked to my son. He seems to be listening to what we are telling him, but I will have him read this article as well as others. All we can do at this point is guide him in the right direction and hope he makes the right decisions.
I believe here in New Jersey you have to be 19 to buy tobacco products. I think I have seen the sign, but I am going to double check, not that it makes any difference now because they are selling it to him anyway.
It is a tough age and I know I have other things to worry about as he hits 21, which is the LEGAL drinking age here in NJ, even though he has already been drinking and getting alcohol illegally. That is another problem we have had to deal with right before going away to college.
It has been a rough few months. Thanks again.
I did not know that and I do appreciate the information.
But it still bugs me when people keep their lights up year-round!
Some information - sm
Some HO policies will pay for the damage the leaking roof caused, but not the roof itself. Also, if a plumbing pipe breaks and you have water all over the house, they will pay for the damage the water caused, but not the pipe to be fixed.
You can call your insurance company and ask what is the limit they will pay out before your insurance is raised or they drop you. They will tell you. You can do this with car insurance also. If you get in a small accident, call and ask anonymously what is the $$$ limit before your insurance goes up. For auto - ours if $1800 an incident. So, if I get in 3 accidents and each costs $1200 to fix - my insurance will not go up in either case as it did not pass the $1800 limit.
They will not volunteer this information, you have to ask for it.
Hope this information helps somebody!
Thank you for information
Thank you for your helpful information. This weekend is the time that I plan on changing over. I will do some research at those sites you so kindly passed along.
Thanks for that information
 I have always used Gain and suddenly the towels were smelling tacky. I will definitely try the Arm & Hammer!
TOO MUCH INFORMATION! NM
xx
Thank you so much for the information (sm)
I have new and better insurance starting this month and will check into getting the testing done. I never realized it was so dangerous. No wonder my doctor won't just keep prescribing the Provigil. That stuff is about $180 a month! Thanks again!
They should have at least given you more information . - (sm)
My sister was treated in this way once, and it scared her to the point of tears as she sat on the exam table waiting to hear the worst. Turns out, sometimes one type of film doesn't get the right view of what they want to see, and they'll try an ultrasound or an MRI.
As it turns out, there was no problem at all, but the WAY THEY HAD ACTED in that office had scared her half to death.
And if you need a biopsy, all is not lost. I've had a couple friends get biopsies or just get the lump taken out, and it was benign.
I had a "suspicious" pea-sized lump arise in my mid to late 30's, and it stuck around for years. They mammo'ed it sometimes every 6 months, sometimes once a year sometimes less. The other breast has always been normal. Most of the time I had other stuff to do and not the time to think about it much.
Amazingly, the last mammo (whenever that was... I don't keep very good track!) showed that the lump was gone. Even the speck of calcification in it which had made them all suspicious of it was gone.
I typed xray and mammograms for many years, and one thing I learned is that everyone is different, every lump and xray finding is a little different, and the various imaging types yield different results. Very, very few of the people who did have tumors had breast pain associated with it. That's pretty rare. So until they tell you otherwise, I would be optimistic.
Even it the news should not be so good, I can say that my cousin had DCIS and did the mastectomy and chemo, and she's been FINE for 10+ years. (Her hair grew in GORGEOUS, too! Thicker, and curly/wavy!) So even then, there was an upside to the whole thing.
Good luck, and don't worry needlessly... wait until you actually know there is something to be concerned about, and get out there and enjoy the holidays! :)
For your information
I have just found about the gay stuff TWO days ago!!! I was referencing asking for sex BEFORE i found out.
What information??

where do you get your information from?
genuinely hurt you thought their secrets were fraudulent.
In high school, those of us extra-greasy kinds would use dish

Nope. Spheris will charge extra for obesity and smoking

Information on cirrhosis - does anyone know the - sm
early signs of possible alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis? I fear my DH may be experiencing some signs of it, it's either that or gallstones I suspect. He is starting to think it too as he was asking me a lot of questions about the liver cirrhosis reports I was transcribing the other night (generalities, not specifics about patients). He has drunk 8-12 beers a day-- every day practically-- (light beer so he thinks this makes it okay---I checked its 5% alcohol a can for the brand he drinks, most regular beer is 6% I think) for the last 20+ years. He is 47. He won't go to a doctor. I told him I'd make him an appt about a month or so ago and he was like, not yet, just about bit my head off in the process. But I think the pain is getting worse. He walks around here every night (still drinking mind you) holding the right side of his abdomen (right of midline) around the waist area. I thought about pancreatitis but I think his pain would be much more severe and located more midline than where he indicates. He is in good health otherwise as far as we both know, not overweight, probably underweight actually (5ཇ"/6', 162 pounds). He does have insomnia though, but I know that is related to the alcohol, and I believe would rectify itself if he quit. He also has an fear (?) of doctors and medication, to him no news is good news. So he will have to be in some pretty nasty pain before he will go to a doctor, and by then he'll probably be in pretty bad shape, or at least the liver will be IF that is what is the problem. So I thought I'd see if anyone had personal experience with this. TIA for any information you can pass on.
Need help with information regarding fireplace
Have moved to new home. I have gas heating and also gas operated fireplace. Have never had the fireplace on yet. My question to anyone this applies to, I was told recently if you use a blower, the artificial logs with your fireplace this can save a lot on your regular heating prices as it uses less gas this way than turning your entire home heating system on. Does anyone have any information regarding this? Thanks.
You have some good information here--sm
but I did see in your list some of the very pet foods that are being recalled...science diet and nutro, for two of them, but I have kitty cats and I don't know too much about the dog food part.
It was me that mentioned the vets not being nutritionists nor experts on what to feed a pet. I don't think anyone is particularly blaming any one manufacturer over another. This all came about when someone said that Iams was offering free pet food and I suggested that it was probably the stuff that got recalled. So, I guess it could be construed as a slam against Iams, which I have never liked, nor science diet either. This recall has just opened a lot of peoples eyes as to what may or not be included in our pets foods. I guess that could be a good thing, except for the loss of precious life in the finding out part. So far, my kitty food has not even been mentioned in the recall, but my senses for watching for anything wrong with my kitties is extremely high. Personally I think I am skeptical of pretty much most store bought food these days. I just hope it gets totally resolved soon.
No, but my husband does. The information
that I finally got was after prolonged searching. I was diagosed as fibro by a rheumatologist (had no clue as to why my shoulders tremendously sore). I try to self-treat, definitely not hypochondric, have better things to do with my time that sitting in an office waiting but so wracked with pain went in as a work-in this past Monday, just trying to sit, wait to see someone. Here after asking point blank to doc about could it be costo then, the most horrible pain 4 days later so started researching some more and that is when I found the connection between fibro and the costo and also the bit about the omega 3. I stopped immediately, went to the store to get. Had been taking some hubs had but not the strength needed. If I can ever help my own self, that is done prior to any doctor visit period! I cancelled a follow up visit with him and now cancelling out completely.
That was some great information. (sm)
I just got a great color job from my guy, but watch out because it seems like they are really pushing highlighting right now, and that can look very good or really overdone. The celebrities are overdoing it IMO right now.
Awesome information
Thanks for all of that. Very interesting. I am going to send it to friends. Wow, lots to know and working at home, I would have never known...we would have missed it! Plus, now I will be on guard for lunacy all around me! LOL.
I think you got some good information above
I definitely would take the doggie and try to fix him a home for bad weather (rain, cold and the like). Make sure if outside doggie to be sure and keep him clean water and his food and he should be alright with your type of weather. Good luck! I would love to have weiner dog.
Thanks for all the information Lowly MT
Unfortunately I've tried a lot of the above and I knew most of the above. Since he already had a really bad UTI I've done/tried most of what you suggested. He's 11 so I've had a lot of practice. LOL. The Comfort Zone spray sounds interesting though, I may have to look into that. I've been up most of the night so I'm kind of loopy so when I get some sleep I'll reread your post and see what else I missed. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to try and help. Like I said at this point I'll try anything.
You are full of information!
Thanks!
Do you remember when Nick went away to boarding school at something like 7 and came back 19? It's completely crazy but I know they have to do it to keep the story line going. I can't wait to see what he looks like though...Sharon or Nick. Michael's dad, I thought that was a dead issue. I wonder who decided to go ahead with finding him. Here we go with Gloria again huh. lol
I missed today but watched yesterday's online. I'm so glad Victoria got a chance to talk to Sabrina. I'm still hoping Sabrina doesn't kick the bucket but sounds like she will. I wonder how Adam will like step-mommy Niki moving into the ranch...I think that's where things are headed.
That is some wonderful information - sm
I am in a similar situation, though a lot more in the hole, about $80K between the 2 of us, unfortunately my DH is the one that has no idea. I am to the point where I have to tell him too. I will call all my CC companies though and see if I can negotiate a better interest rate, only behind on 1 account and this was this month, just did not have $650 to make the payment. I need to see a lawyer first though before I "confess" in case this goes the divorce route, want to know where I stand and if it is possible I would lose my kids over my financial irresponsibility; I know he would fight me for the kids though he cannot deal with having them so he would probably do it just to spite me and make the kids miserable in the process. I am trying to figure out how to tell him, in a note, in person (however I am afraid of him as he has threatened me before but has never physically harmed me--afraid this might send him over the edge as he has undiagnosed depression), I am leaning toward a note, take the kids out for the day or several hours, come back and discuss the solutions I have mapped out in my head. In our case staying together and working togehter is the best plan I think, though I would proabably walk off debt free in a divorce because of the splitting of assets, he would actually end up with debt, so it would be to his advantage to stay together. I still love my DH, but I do put up with a lot of crud. I am just afraid of change I guess and for myself and my kids. My friends are scared too, my family knows nothing of this nor does his family. Anyone have any good advice on how to tell him w/o ending up getting killed in the process?
Thanks for the 90210 information
I wonder if it's somewhere online. I'll have to check. He's my screensaver (lots of pics). I even got myself a tour T-shirt. Even at my age. I figure you only live once. I don't drink or smoke so I have to have some obsessions. LOL
