I love the flannel leisure pants. I wear a pair that were my husbands, they are so soft and give with the hours of sitting in the chair! What's your favorite, most comfy work attire?
I do "dress up" some too. I like to change it up, some days with jeans, some days even with dress pants and a nice top and even a little makeup, just to feel like I am a girl!

Just to lighten up things a bit
My SIL and her daughter (19) have had a "fighting' relationship since day one. We have a joke about when SIL is in her 90s and lying on her death bed her 70 something daughter will come to visit her and SIL will say "Good God, is that the only dress you could find to wear?".
Everyone has drama in their family, you just learn to take the good with the bad. I am sorry the original poster was so hurt and seemingly rightfully so, but even last night while watching a reality show my DD said "I just love drama!" We had a good laugh about that and I said remember that in 10 years.
Just to lighten things up - this morning's news - sm
SPAM (the canned meat) is back, factory working overtime, two shifts. Only Christmas and Thanksgiving off. Remember Monty Pythom and Spamalot? One of the workers said he was glad to be working but doesn't think he could eat it. Before we knew what was in it, used to have Spam and eggs. I guess it's not that healthy but history repeating itself? Gotta keep it on the light side. A little humor helps sometimes.
sweat pants or loose light cotten pants - sm
sometimes put on makeup but usually just brush hair and pull it back and get to work!
Ah...one of my favorite things to do!! (nm)

My favorite things
I personally love the Hubble telescope pictures and when I am feeling creeped out and my problems are big, and my house is a dump, and I look and feel like ______, I look at those Hubble pictures (which are very real) and I realize what a very microscopic little speck I am and how my problems are so stupid and who cares anyway? And then I realize that I am part of this universe and then I feel perfectly right sized and wonderful and happy.

One of my favorite things in New York
Is this Middle Eastern chicken and rice pushcart outside the hilton hotel on 6th avenue and 55th(?). They are there from about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is less than $5 for a huge plate, enough for 2. Really clean and very popular. Was a little leery the first time, but now go there every time I am in the Big Apple.
Same here. My 2 favorite things are pumpkin
pie and sweet potato casserole. Hubby can't stand the smell of either one in the kitchen! :(
Let him sit down and listen to what you do and say try to transcribe it... (sm)
May be he will understand that these are legal documents and it is your responsibility to make it that way!! Sometimes they have to walk in your shoes or sit in your chair, so to speak, to understand. Hope this helps!!
Let's get ready to..........transcribe! lol

I transcribe for a PT and she is doing fine - sm
my checks have actually got up a little lately by maybe $20 or so every 2 weeks. I don't think she is going anywhere.
You are not alone. I find it hard to transcribe...
without the music because I tend to get too lost in the dictator's voice and the background noises. It seems if I have my own background "noise" it's easier to block theirs out. Also, with faster music it seems I type faster. That's a great thing about working at home - it's all MY music.
No music, no nothing, I cannot transcribe with any noise at all.

Just had to take off my pants
because have some home-grown tomatoes for the first time in probably 4 years and I had to put on a duster because ate so many I am about to pop- wonder how many you can eat before you actually do?
Pants
I find these on HSN shopping network, www.HSN.com. All the time there are people on there that sell jeans and pants with that inseam length. Take a look and let me know what you find.
oh lighten up on the OP - she's probably in her 20s
and let's not forget, men can't baby women because they (the men) are such HUGE babies, or most of them........*LOL*
Where are you finding pants with
inseams of 33 inches? The usual is more like 30 to 32 inches where I shop, unless they are talls.
lol...right up there with pants below the crack! ick NM

She could have been joking. Lighten up. nm

Lighten up people!
Gosh!! Can't you guys take a joke? I have 5 cats, 4 dogs, a hedgehog and a cornsnake and thought it was funny! Just like kids, they can get on your nerves and you say things you don't really mean. BTW, the kitty stew was pretty funny too!
I think it was a joke. Lighten up!

I just got ants in the pants I guess.
I'm not a Gemini...love-child Capricorn and I swear mom smoked pot ;-)
I do have all the variety I could want though...acute care, clinic notes, ESL, emergency room, even radiology. I even asked about cross-training on eEscription but I guess everyone is too busy right now at this time of year to get me started on that. I even put myself on an on-call rotation to really spice things up and bring in a little extra moola. It's just that no matter what job I've ever had, I get bored with it once I master it...doesn't matter if it's typing, flower arranging, running a stable, playing medical secretary, or even medical assistant. It all comes back to the redundancy of anything driving me nuts!
Oh well. I do feel better now that I screamed. I think it must me almost time for me to surf the crimson tide or something. I almost opened up a can of chocolate frosting to snack on...and that just ain't right.
Thanks for the words of encouragement and just listening to me babble. It's usually only my critters that get to hear that.
Or even vest-over-pants sutures! LOL...nm

Come on! Some humor for a Friday. Lighten up.

That would be ྂs-80s. And speaking of Dittos...remember those pants?

yoga pants. I also teach kickboxing so that's pretty much my uniform. nm

Oh, lighten up, SLC stuck in my mind as a nice place
because instead of it smelling like a garbage pile, it was the sweetest smelling place and I thought would just let someone know about it. With all that I have been thinking about regarding my aunt having to go to an assisted living or elsewhere, SLC was just a pleasant thought instead of a downer.
I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.

Melinda - humble, honest, what the world needs now - she is true, you can tell, nothing phony about her, need some good, old fashioned modesty, perhaps she will set a trend, I hope so!!! She is phenomenal - makes me cry, she is so not affected!!!
That was my favorite.

That is my son's favorite

My favorite new man! sm
Russell Crowe was recently interviewed. Here's what he had to say...
As for the future lessons he'll teach his boys about the opposite sex, Crowe says, "Look, when it comes to women, you are talking about mysteries that haven't been unraveled by the wisest scholars of all time. I'm not going to be able to do that. But I can teach my sons to respect them."
If all men could be this smart!
Here's my very favorite
Rugelach
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2-pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar plus 9 tablespoons
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup apricot preserves, pureed in a food processor
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash.
Cream the cheese and butter until light. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the salt, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour and mix until just combined. Dump the dough out onto a well-floured board and roll it into a ball. Cut the ball in quarters, wrap each piece in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
To make the filling, combine 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the raisins, and walnuts.
On a well-floured board, roll each ball of dough into a 9-inch circle. Spread the dough with 2 tablespoons apricot preserves and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the filling. Press the filling lightly into the dough. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges—cutting the whole circle in quarters, then each quarter into thirds. Starting with the wide edge, roll up each wedge. Place the cookies, points tucked under, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Brush each cookie with the egg wash. Combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on the cookies. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.
When I was a kid, my favorite was
Interjection, but now I really like Unpack Your Adjectives. They are all so clever.
My favorite
For some reason these cookies are the best ever anywhere! Probably because I was a girl scout for 10 years and sold cookies every year with my sister. They too were 50 cents when I sold them and yes I feel like a dinasaur when they look at me like I'm the oldest thing they've ever seen. My favorites are the samoas and lemon cookies. Yum! I'm so excited...now if I can just find where to buy them around here. Hopefully some girlscout will come to my door like I used to go door to door when I was a girl scout.
They are my favorite, too....nm
that WAS my favorite
dark chocolate is a health food. I totally bought into that and after one year, I had to spend all summer on the eliptical just to get rid of my big booty!
my favorite
lazy peach pie - canned peaches with allspice and crushed vanilla wafers
lazy cheese cake - cream cheese on graham crackers with jelly on top
anybody else have favorite snack ideas?

Who is your favorite TV host?
Any type of TV show, news, entertainment, informational/educational, sales, food, decorating, whatever!
I think my favorite has to be Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. He just cracks me up.
Who's yours?
my most favorite perfume ever!
and i love it!
Jordin is now my favorite . . .
I really liked her from the beginning. It's not just her voice I think she has the wow factor. All the other girls are great this year. Even Haley - even though she forgot the words she was adorable and I think she may get a lot of sympathy votes.
What's your favorite commercial?
I love the one where the guy gets up in the middle of the night and puts the diamond necklace around his wife's neck. When she wakes up he pretends to be asleep but right at the end he just barely starts to smile. He has the sexiest mouth!

Favorite book
I loved the Bobbsey Twins books. Boy, that dates me!
My favorite books
My absolute favorite book of all time is Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman. My next favorite which are hard to find (the author passed away) is by Day Taylor - The Black Swan & Moss Rose.
I used to like Danielle Steele until she started making her characters snooty, but her older books Thurston House, Palamino and The Ring are some of my favorites.
Another good one is Barbara Taylor Bradford's "A Woman of Subtance". Bout a woman from the 1800s/early 1900s who went from being a maid to being a successful business woman. My husband saw the movie and he loved it.
However, I wish I still had the book Paint the Wind. I could read that over and over and over.
what's your favorite commercial right now??
Mine is the hotels.com where they guy gets excited about having 2 shampoos in the hotel and the the wife goes, maybe they are trying to buy you off so you will write a good review...and he goes, it's working...and pours both bottles on his dry head. I don't know why but it just cracks me up every time I see it.
my favorite commercial is sm
The cell phone commercials with the old lady and her mom says who can you be texting and she says my BFF Rose.
favorite movie ever
"Queer Duck - the Movie"
What's your favorite TV show?
That's if you have time to watch TV. I record and watch them at night when I get off work or when I happen to find a free moment. Its nice to record because then I don't have commercials either so it goes by really fast.
I like the Young and the Restless and have been watching for years. It's the only soap I watch, the others just are not realistic enough for me to get in to them. I also like Old Christine but that has not been on lately. There's another show on Monday nights and I can't remember the name of it at the moment. Its about a husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, and a single guy. I'm also a Food Network junkie.
Those are my very favorite books ever...!!!
I've read them all more than once and just LOVE them. Can't wait for the 7th book, but I think that's the last one, which makes me sad.
