This is an ongoing thing there, I doubt in our lifetime

In Reply to: Bill Gates is paying $100,000 million or is it billion? Not easy - to solve Africa's problems. So sad.
we will see any difference. No much tragedy, so much sorrow and like you said about Bill Gates, he and his wife really have their heart in the right spot with all they do with what they have and yet all that money and some good but probably not a dent into what is needed. I spent time in Santo Domingo next to Haiti, probably as poor a spot as you could ever find in this world so I have seen and like I said money taken in and then the money comes up short with miscalculations, etc. Yes, I am cynical and have reason to be because of what I see going on with all this funding the people send and then it goes missing. I hear of stories around my home or other places and I pick and choose and send to those I feel really need it (sob stories for animals, also).

My thing is Lifetime Movie Network movies...sm
I love most of the movies on this channel. I could sit and watch them all day.
ongoing topic
I live in Florida and this is an ongoing topic on forums of local newspapers. We have a large Hispanic population here and while many of them speak English, many of them do not. If you go to Wal-Mart here, all of the signs are in English and Spanish. Many of the food products are in both languages. I actually know a couple through a family member who moved here from Cuba, must have been 35 years ago now, when Castro took their farm. The wife speaks virtually no English. She worked for Disney in housekeeping or something and retired from there. Even Disney didn't seem to care if their staff learns English.
I worked at a bank prior to becoming an MT. I had about 4 bilingual coworkers and we needed them. We had numerous customers who came in to cash checks or even had accounts there and didn't speak any English. I taught myself enough Spanish independently on the Internet and through books to be able to serve their needs. Now let me ask you, if I can manage that why can't they?
I don't think it's being racist or having a bad day. We all have to listen to ESL doctors who are practically incomprehensible. I wonder sometimes how in the world they passed the equivalency exams. I also know as doctors they can certainly afford a few diction classes but they don't bother. Meanwhile, we can't understand them, I don't know how their colleagues understand them, nurses probably have a hard time understanding them and many of these doctors are administering to elderly patients who don't hear as well. God only knows how they understand them.
English is the accepted universal language in the business world which is why people in other countries learn English. If you are going to do business in a predominantly English-speaking country then learn the language.
This is why we need MORE ongoing RESEARCH. nm

Shock has been ongoing for several years
and if you have had, you know just how bad it is! I have never had any pain that travels up or down the leg, just that foot thing only when I happen to walk, oh joy!! This is really odd but I have awakened in the night with a really harsh pain over the top of my right foot, only on the top where I would have to take the other foot and bear weight down it because of how bad it hurt. I know I have a curvature of my spine but really don’t have back pain per se. I am so tired of trying to find out really what is going on, so many doctors, so much of my time, no many things I have tried. This current used to strike sometimes as much as 6-10x a day, completely throws you off balance.
If 1 time but sorta ongoing
I have noticed when around my hubby or her son, she tends to say little cutting remarks, about me, not just when she and I are 1 on 1. There are others who do things for her, like her birthday recently and I hear not 1 thing about how others overdo it and I have heard this, like I said, time and time again. I know she is elderly but I do not think being old excuses you at all unless you are completely senile, demented and the like. If you still have your faculities around you (and she does) she was not brought up to look a gift horse in the mouth so to speak. I did not expect the money for the hair solution I gave her- but if she did not want and could not use- she could have thrown away- I would have never known the difference. By the way, she really has taken the place of my mother who is deceased. We have been very close and will continue to be but my feelings count just as much as anyone else.
Despite "HER" being gone, banning is still ongoing here.
my list is ongoing and never ending!
It seems I spend all my time working (and playing a bit around here on the internet) but I actually just cleaned out my closet and took my clothes to the Salvation army and felt very good about it.
Organizing has NEVER been my thing and i wish so much that it was.
I have loads and loads of paperwork to sort out, file, etc.
I try every day to go through my mail (you wouldn't believe the amounts of junk mail that accumulates, that i then "save" to shred)..
I need to send some baby gifts off to my baby sister -my niece is now 7 weeks old!! - i have attached a pic because she is the new love of my life and i like to show her off whenever possible :)
I would like to organize my desk, clean my kitchen, get my carpets cleaned.
Rearrange my room (maybe it's my life i want to rearrange?!)
Oh it goes on and on and on!!!
have a GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!
This is Allyson Ayn! (she is in North Carolina, I am in Nevada)... A lot of the things I want to get done revolve around me being able to go see her for the second time ever soooo wish me luck on my tasks ahead!
xoxo
U got it!!! after a lifetime of them, who needs one...
if it's got tires or testicles, it's gonna give ya problem(s).............
*roarin*..........LOL
That's like something out of a Lifetime movie
I've had dealings with one small MTSO I can actually envision doing this, scarily enough. Total whack job, bipolar, schizophrenic, whatever she is, it's SCARY.
Glad this all worked out okay for you!
It is supposed to be moving to Lifetime sm
but as far as when it will air, I really don't know as there have been some issues with the transfer between the producers and Bravo. There is an injunction against Lifetime from Bravo to where they cannot air the show until the legal mess gets sorted out, even though the season has been filmed, except for the finale.
I do like Top Chef on Bravo but it comes on the same time as Life on Mars, so I have to catch it on reruns.
lifetime moves are cheesy.

Have you seen Lisa Williams' show? On Lifetime
She is probably the best I've seen. Truly fascinating.
Never declawed any of the dozen cats I have had over my lifetime - sm
It is rare, in my opinion, that a cat cannot be trained to claw in appropriate places and not on furniture, etc. Are you providing good places for the kitty to claw, such as a nice scratch post (mine really love the sisal rope kind)? They also love those simple cardboard inserts that are in the Turbo Trackers and the Alpine Scratcher. When I get a new kitty I direct them to the appropriate places to claw and lavish praise. These acceptable places need to be some place you pass by often because the kitty wants you to be there when they are good. Mine run to the scratching posts because they know I am going to lavish praise on them. :-) If they claw somewhere they are not supposed to I immediatly squirt them with a water bottle set to stream. Something called a Scat Mat also keeps them away from the inappropriate places should they want to test you further. I have had young kittens, adult cats, you name it, and not a single one of them could not be trained to scratch where appropriate. I also have nice furniture (even leather). I would only declaw after I had exhausted all other options and it was a choice between that and giving up the cat. Just my two cents, for what it is worth. :-) Let us know what you decide. Best of luck!!
Personally, I would let it ride. Cost a man his job and reputation for a lifetime over this?
And unless you like to see your husband upset, I'd not say anything to him if I were you.
I learned at about the age of 20 how to give a look that made people shudder when they offended me. That is enough for me in situations like this which I consider a 2 on a scale of 1-10 in the sexual harrassment department.
Do you realize the resulting damage you will do if you take a 2 second event into discussion with white shirts?
I used to work for a finance company many in an earlier lifetime, sm
At that time, I never saw anything repossessed. However, they would guarnishee people's wages. The first thing you need to do is to contact the lenders to work something out. Sometimes they used to refinance the loans to lower the payments. Or, you could contact somebody like Consumer Credit Counseling Service (be careful and find a legitimate company). They can work out deals with your creditors. Be prepared that this will not help your credit rating, but the companies usually work with you if you are up front and communicate with them. At least they did back when I was working with them. The worst thing to do is to avoid them.
On the other hand, if you financed the furniture through the store, it could be that they would repossess. I know they do with cars.
What I was referring to was taking out a loan and putting down household goods as collateral, which is what people did when I was working for the finance company.
Lifetime movies where the husband has an affair and leaves
aaa
I don't doubt that there are
people like your first husband who simply choose to live that way, but the majority do not choose it and do not enjoy it. It is a miserable feeling.
I do give money to people that I think are truly down and out- but I just try to differentiate between them and the professional panhandlers. I see guys out in the medians of roads or on freeway ramps with signs and some of these guys are dressed better than me. Those people I suspect are scamming and I do not give money then. But I don't want to withhold help from someone who really does need it because I have been there and it was the loneliest most miserable thing I have ever been through.
That's possible, but I really doubt it
The woman she is dealing with is irrational and has serious issues. Confronting her could lead to a big emotional blowup that would leave the OP feeling even worse.
When you are talking about rational people who are able to deal with their problems calmly and with some degree of objectivity, then discussing problems is an excellent idea.
But believe me - I have been there when it comes to dealing with people who refuse to face their own problems. I definitely came out of that situation feeling much worse than when I went in, even though I remained calm, softspoken, and rational during the entire conversation.
I think the OP should use her own judgment in deciding whether it is worth it to confront the woman over this. Sometimes it's better just to close the door, literally and metaphorically, rather than try to get "closure" through confrontation.
JMHO
No doubt! LOL NM

I have no doubt
That if this was the only thing I had going on right now I could make over 400 a week too. And I mentioned in passing the patient who came in on a Sunday as a joke, like we MTs often do. I have plenty of patience, I promise.
I never blamed the professions fault, but yes, the profession is partly to blame. Offshoring, ever decreasing cpls, and unethical MTSOs greatly contribute to the declining pay scale of the medical transcription profession. That is one of the reasons I am getting out of it. But the main reason is because I originally began school to become a psychologist, and I want to finish that.
As for the patient with the rash that came in on Sunday, guess what? They were told to go see their primary care physician on Monday.
I seriously doubt you know anything about
Don't poop where you eat small town girl!
When it doubt, toss it out (sm)
We will give him credit. At least he was honest and said he wanted to be sure and is still accepting matches. To me? I would feel like a doormat. Hey, if I'm not good enough for you and you're still out there fishing, then do it without me. That's not saying someone has to be exclusive in their dating, but in this day and age, there are too many love diseases to be spread, I wouldn't want to be a part of that.
It sounds like you're good enough for now, but if something better comes along, he'll be dropping you like a hot potato. I'd be moving on.
Without a doubt, Proactiv...nm

Pilates- without a doubt
I have heard that you see the difference within the first couple of weeks, and it tones you all over.
He is an indoor dog. I doubt very seriously
But thank you for your suggestion.
I highly doubt it
I have no clue how that is even possible. I really don't think that you can. You might want to ask Verizon, though.
They will take you to court, without doubt.
It isn't too little for them. If they have evidence you owe that debt, then they have legal recourse to collect.
If it goes to court, you will get a judgement against you. It will go on your credit record and they can also garnish wages to receive their money. They may be entitled to other collection means.
It won't matter whether you send a cease and desist letter -- it is a debt you legally owe. You need to call them immediately and discuss your concerns over the legitimacy of the claim. Never, ever avoid them - it will just cost you more in the long run.
I would give it all to him. No doubt about it. nm

I doubt that anything has happened (yet)
The fact that she wrote the nice thank-you note shows that she assumed that you also knew about the gift. There is a good chance that your husband was just trying to be nice and generous to a girl down on her luck, but the fact that he hid it from you shows that he knew you wouldn't approve.
While there probably is nothing between them, the feelings he has for her are dangerous and could easily lead to something happening between them. I think you're right to ask him to end their relationship now, even though at the moment it is only platonic. He will probably think you're ridiculous, but I would strongly suggest it to him and, if he insists he doesn't want that, then the other alternative would be that you make your appointments together.
I doubt homeowners would cover this, but
to do? How would the carpet store fix this? Just wondering....
I have no doubt that some drugs are worthwhile
but don't you ever type a list of meds a mile long and wonder how the poor patient (especially someone elderly) is still standing upright? Sometimes that makes me absolutely crazy. I think there is absolute validity in natural cures and I think the medical community or government or whomever is too quick to push yet another drug - or in this case, a vaccine - on the population without knowing exactly what the side effects will be.
I strained my lower back 3 weeks ago. My mother immediately assumed I was going to need surgery, friends insisted I needed drugs. I went to my chirpractor. It took several visits, but I am now pain free. Totally, 100% natural. (I didn't add this to start another whole debate, but just to make my point that there are alternatives.)
Have a great day!!

it's' chicken, when in doubt, throw it out!!!
Toss it........chicken needs to be refrigerated after cooking and leaving it all night in the oven is not a good thing, I have done it myself and thrown the chicken out.
When in doubt, throw it out! 
Doubt OP has 24/7 wattch dog. He knows furniture

I highly doubt you'll get someone to do all of that for
Housekeepers actually make more like 60-75 dollars a visit. You may get someone who is just looking for some pin money to do what you're asking, but I'm sure they'll want more than 15 dollars. 
Doubt diff. vet will recommend anything without

No doubt you're confused! I don't know what's
going on myself, so it's a bit difficult to describe it in any clear way.
I know very little about diabetes, but my vision is definitely deteriorating. I had wondered why the nurse specifically asked me if I was a diabetic. I also know that I have a great chance of developing diabetes once my pancreas is completely destroyed. All I know is the last set of labs I had were very good. I see my doctor again on July 22, and I will definitely mention this to him.
I took Wellbutrin almost 10 years ago to try to help quit smoking. It gave me tremors of the hands so badly that I couldn't type. So I stopped taking it. I'm on a mess of medicines (most of them, gratefully, provided by the manufacturers' patient assistance programs.) A couple months ago, I started Abilify, didn't seem to have any problems.
As far as the problem with staggering, mine came out of the blue, as well. I was somehow thinking they might be related, but after your comment about diabetes, I'm going to do more research on diabetes because it's a disease that I know absolutely nothing about.
Thanks so much for your post and your input. I'm feeling like "Columbo" trying to figure out a mystery, and I appreciate any input I can get.
Hope you have a great weekend. 
I doubt your children are happy with that treatment.
At least we hope so.
When in doubt VISA gift cards
They spend like cash. You can even spend them online.

I doubt this explanation....roux is french
Roux in French means to cook equal amounts of butter/flour together to make/thicken sauces.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux
However, medically speaking here's a descript. of what name means/comes from:
The name (Roux-en-Y) comes from the restructuring of the small intestine to form a Y-shaped structure. One arm of the Y carries digestive juices and the other carries food. The two arms come together farther down the intestine where digested food can be absorbed.

Smart how? This was Oct of last year. I highly doubt SIL sm
is at any risk at all.
I understand the whole quarantine thing, but this is taking it too far. I'm sure this guy has had tons of clients. It just does not sound prudent to have to quarantine each and every client. Sounds absurd.
Or withdrawal from other drugs, wouldn't doubt it.

I doubt it is "you", they would hate any woman - sm
who married their brother since he probably became their father figure. Personally I would just ignore her/them. If family functions come up and they exclude you but your DH intends to go (which he should not w/o you; or tell them he won't attend unless you go), I would go anyway. Screw them. They want you to be miserable and you are. In time your kids will figure out what horrible people they are. AS for the comments on you not thanking your MIL, I would not even bother to respond. It's none of business either way. You know you thanked your MIL, sounds a bit excessive writing thank you notes though for a few hours of babysitting. I would just ignore all the stuff, she is just trying to drive you nuts and sounds like she is doing a good job. You need to take a step back, chill some, and remember you are a much better person than your SILs will ever be. Your DH should have put them in their place day 1 though. He is obviously spineless when it comes to his bullies for sisters. That is all they are, remember that next time you see the witches, nod, smile and walk away, then you will be driving them nuts when you do not appear heartbroken or crushed.
I think that is doable, but like the others i doubt you will find someone willing with the cost of g
The gas alone will cost her probably that much and when you deduct that from the $15 a trip it would hardly be worth her time unless she was desperate. Maybe any teenagers around that wouldn't mind doing that before/after school? I used to clean and I would not waste my time for $15 a day minus gas prices.
I doubt a guy would send an anonymous letter- sm
it is mostly likely a woman sending it, possibly the girl in question if there is a girlfriend. I would not blindly accept it as untrue but then again I would not let it wreak my marriage as it is quite possibly the work of some sick individual out to cause trouble. I do trust my DH, but he will never cheat as he is terrified of getting a STD and of getting someone pregnant as well, and I do keep him happy as well. But I would just be a bit more aware of things, if any red flags pop up, then maybe have him followed by a PI for a few days to see if there is anything to it. If they find nothing then I would not worry about it. One of my good friends had her DH followed, though she could not get any proof as he was pretty slick and suspected he was being followed which did not help, but he did give her crabs which is what led her to use a PI, he had some lame excuse as to how he got crabs too, really makes me wonder at how dumb men think women are. They divorced in the end of course and she (and the kids) are much happier today.
I doubt my husband has gained an oz, grrrrrr
He has been the same size since I first met him some 30 years ago and he can eat anything. Dontcha just hate that? I have gained a few such that I do not weigh in the doctor's office anymore. Tell them just to put down "too much."
Feel the same way. Show is lame, doubt I ever
nm
Yeah that's my fear. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but (sm)
I don't want to be a dummy either
Good luck but I doubt you will find a lawyer sm
First of all, I am glad that your sister knows the truth and is not dying. Unfortunately I know from experience what it is like for a loved one to be given a misdiagnosis death sentence. My father-in-law went in the hospital almost 2 years ago with trouble swallowing and ended up getting referred to an ENT that sent him over to a neurologist. He did an EMG/NCS on his tongue, said he had ALS, and to prepare within 6 months to make a decision on being on a ventilator or being DNR. He had to quit working early & be fed through a PEG for over a year, during which time I took him to a different neurologist, a specialist in motor neuron diseases, who said that EMGs performed on the tongue are unreliable and that he had no evidence of ALS at all. Basically what had happened is that his vocal cord was not working properly, and the ENT said it was paralyzed, which is was not. Because the first neurologist just assumed the ENT was correct, he made the diagnosis. I tried calling a few lawyers for the pain and suffering aspect, but unless you want to try through civil court, there is no malpractice involved because there was no permanent physical damage done. They're lucky he didn't follow through with the suicidal thoughts he was having when he was first told all of this bullcr@p.
