Nope, I'm FINISHED! Even back when - sm

In Reply to: Has anyone gotten into the stock market - with it being so cheap now?
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.

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.......................

I just finished a book by
Mary Kay Andrews entitled Savannah Breeze. Great book! The next one I will read is Savannah Blues (same author).
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.
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.
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.
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
nope....LOL

I mean grants. Found a local one. Thanks!
nope
No, just saw my regular doctor a long time back who prescribed one of the ergotamine drugs and I had a bad reaction to it, got extremely cold hands and feet and nearly passed out and thought I was going to die. I could neither lie down nor sit up and got breathless and didn't know if it was serious enough to rush for medical help. Luckily it passed after about an hour, and I never tried it again. The worst part is trying to sleep all through the night for 3 nights with the pain which keeps waking me up. I am not sure if I should visit an ENT doctor or a neurologist or both, seeing how I get two types of headaches every month, one on each side. Am seriously thinking of stopping at least the hair color use so the sinusitis will subside, but the migraine?
nope. not in the least. sm
I have opened my umbrella in the house quite a bit and nothing bad ever happens. I had a black cat too for 13 years and she passed on, but she was a good companion. Life is life and these things are not going to bring you bad luck, good luck, or anything else for that matter. life is too short.
Nope.
I can't imagine not having my siblings and wanted my kids to have the same.
Nope, not just you
It's getting flat out ridiculous. So sad, I've loved Y&R for as long as I can remember. 
Nope - NC!
It's a hot weekend, may as well shop when not working, LOL.
Nope really can't
But, I maybe able to get away with not having to put dd in daycare so that would $250 a month I would not have to worry about. I don't really know but if I can pay less on family insurance that might be a plus.
There was a job opening at a manufacturing warehouse to work in the collections department for $11.50 an hour. I passed that up because it would have been a little bit of a paycut...... but then again, maybe not because for family health insurance I would not have to pay a dime, company covers all. That would be $145 a month that would not be going out. Plus they get retirement, company stock.
I live in a small town. Our hospital is going to VR. They have not said anything about cutting back on employees yet but if they do, I am sure they will keep the better producers..I just thought this was an opportunity to bow out gracefully. I am feeling better than I did yesterday when I first posted.
NOPE. That's what THEIR med. ins. is for! - sm
And if the kid had a recently-operated-on finger, why wasn't it bandaged/casted, etc. At least that would've alerted you and others who know the child that she needed to take it easy.
Nope
Did none of what you listed...mostly just asked around, mentioned the name, and bam...info abounds! Sorta like Google ya know, but in a more personal fashion...
nope
As Dorothy said at the end of Wizard of Oz, "Next time I go looking for my heart's desire I won't look any further than my own backyard."
Nope...not twice...sm
Adultery is just the ultimate betrayal. I mean I know some people make mistakes but that is very painful. Forgiving once would be hard enough but twice no. And besides seems to me it is like saying ok go ahead and cheat on me and I will just forgive you later.
Nope, not me
I'm just little ol me. I've worked for the same company for 3 years and love my job so I wouldn't be able to give any information (useful or not useful) to anyone. Also for new MT questions...I leave that for the QA or more experienced MTs to answer.
I do try to stay positive. In fact one time my SIL told me that my attitude on life is way too positive and wondered if I ever get mad. :-)
Nope
Look at this way, if the patient is terminal and the meds "might" help, you could spend the time you have left chasing the dream of a cure. I would rather spend the time with my family rather than chasing something that "might" help me.
nope, i don't buy it.
I am only 5Ƈ" and could conceivably fall in, but i could also get out, unless someone was sitting on the lid...
Um, nope, I'm not saying that.
That would be a New Age thing, or Kaballah, or some other politically correct type of spirituality. Christians might say the Holy Spirit lives in someone who is saved, but that's not the same thing AT ALL.
Nope...nm

Nope, already there
Does no good to worry- just think what the other alternative is. I really enjoy these "golden years." Just think, this year after reaching 66, my property taxes come down from over 2500.00 to 800.00- I am able to work and still get social security which makes my income twice of what it is before drawing, i get reduced prices in stores, movies, theater and the like, restaurants. I have only 2 slight medical problems, both controlled with medication once a day, basically money situation so much better than when raising a family, do what I like when I like. A wonderful time for me.
Nope...sm
My husband doesn't hit me and never has. That just isn't his nature. It infuriates him for a man to hit a woman. I couldn't take someone hitting me when they got ticked off at me.
NOPE
The boy is 13 and he could probably make his own mind whether or not he wants this. What if he said for his own beliefs that he doesn't want it. What makes the courts decide in a persons personal health decision anyway. I WOULD get my patient chemo. IN FACT they already went 1 dose of it themselves. Government stay out away from out families!!!
Nope, not even in traffic.
:P
No hot dogs either! Nope.

Nope ~ used to have a cat named Sam...
now have 2 cats, Lucky and Tripp, and a shetland sheepdog, Casey, which was on my list of baby names, but DH didn't like it.
haha.. nope. they don't but they may
during teenage years! LOL. TOO FUNNY!
Nope - missed that.
Sorry.
Nope. It is not your business to tell them.
Nope - Upstate NY nm

Nope, not in the midwest
NM
nope - I don't agree.............sm
if a person wants it bad enough, they'll make it work out on their own - the OP is not alone - maybe she just needs to know she is not alone and that others are or have been in similar situations.
I'd like to see the OP change her life though.......eventually...it's in her best interests and those of her children.
Nope, don't see any with a slinky.
Somebody with a camera and a bird feeder ought to put a slinky on it and film a squirrel attack.
Nope, family are going to do what they want
He did right by letting it go. If he had wanted to take a stand on it, he could have sent his own flowers and signed them the way he wanted. His brother was being a bit of a jerk by not respecting him, but it wouldn't have been the right time for your friend to dig in and insist.
I think a lot of people feel, consciously or not, that you shouldn't change your own name, that it's somehow disrespecting your parents who gave you that name, and they just won't cooperate. I think all he can do is just keep signing with the name he wants to use and quit answering when they call him the wrong name in person.
