as being a work at home with the kids is why this job is not taken seriously anymore. Loads and I mean loads of posts here complaining of interuptions, people not thinking you are truly working, and on and on. Thank goodness I worked away from home in a time when the money was BIG and I could afford to do any and everything I wanted including keeping a home running, traveling to exotic places with the kids and basically buying when and what I wanted. The pay scale now is just pennies on the dollars compared to what we used to make but, guess what- get to spend time raising the kids, never mind about the loss of money or the lot being looked up as glorified typists, getting to stay at home, it seems, is the very top priority here. Oh by the way, I do think society is entirely to blame for the kids now, so much pussy-footing around, not wanting to upset the children and being there for their every beck and call. The schools are out of control, I feel sorry for the teachers- families are not doing what they should to raise children even if they are working from home. My DIL is a parapro and tells me how out of control even kids in kindergarten are. Really sad.

The one I saw advertised was
www.polarmeds.com They have a good website. I just worry about the quality of the meds. Have to do something to cut down my drug bills. I'm trying to switch to a lot of generics so I can buy them at Wal-Mart.

Anyone watching House? They advertised it as
'the most shocking' blah blah blah. Has the most shocking thing happened yet & I missed it? I was on the phone for a few minutes...

Find a dentist advertised as gentle that will put him under for work being done. They're out
