we would have to clean ours every month. Taking a shower now is like getting rained on by rocks. We go through a hot water tank every 5 years. Doggonit! Guess I have to wait until we can get either a new well or a water softening system first. <sigh>

Pay Rate
Hi. I'm interested in finding some doctors in my area to do work for extra income at home. I have 9 1/2 years of experience and work at home for a big national. I have no idea what the going rate would be or even the basis on which to charge (line, page, ???). I live in a rural area so it would probably be low-average. I appreciate any advice anybody could give me on this subject. Thanks.
I think that is more than most - we used to be about that rate (sm)
til things got really bad in our marriage.
Rate MDs
Hey I had posted awhile back regarding my frustrations finding a decent doctor. I came across an article talking about rating doctors on the Internet and it listed the RateMDs.com website. Of course, the AMA and other doctors are all in a huff about patients, God forbid, rating them online. Anyways, I went to RateMDs.com and found a doctor I had been to had already received a poor rating! Hehe I added to it. But I also used it to help me choose a new PCP who had an excellent rating. The receptionist also told me that they have new patients on Thursday and allot more time so they can go over their medical history and issues! Wow I thought, that's awesome. We'll see how it goes. But if any of you have a doctor you hate, like or need to find a new one, go check it out!
Wow! $700 is a good rate to go up there.
I can drive to NY and would spend more than $700 in a week. First, ask exactly what is included in the fee and ask the teacher to give you a better answer on the fundraising issue. If no fundraisers are being done, maybe you can offer to run a couple.
I think your plan is a good one. I usually come up with about a third of the cost of my kid's activities. (Only have the 16 yo left at home now.) The rest they earn by working or through fundraisers.
She'll have a great time in NYC!
We cant buy groceries on a cpl pay rate, so I'm trying to come up with one too.
Not really.
They are getting an hourly rate - just $2 is what I tip.
Hang on, though. The rate could have changed...sm
If any payments were late (or missed), the rate could have gone up astronomically for the OP. They may well have gone up and up. It's probably in the fine print of the card agreement that that will happen automatically with late payments.
And I have heard financial experts say that it's not a good idea to call and cancel a card if you still have a balance on the card, because then you have no way to negotiate with them. Though it doesn't sound like any negotiating was able to happen in this case, you're supposed to keep asking for the person's supervisor (and their supervisor, if necessay), and be persistent, until you get to talk to someone who can help you with lowering the rate and maybe waiving some of the fees.
Then I would apply for another card with a lower rate (and make darn sure you don't make any payments late or miss any payments!) and transfer that WA MU balance over (and ask if they can wave the transfer fee when you apply for the new card).
BTW, I recently applied for a credit card with WA MU because the offer was for 0% interest for 15 months on balance transfers, and the person was definitely in India. Every time I interruped him to ask him a question, it was like he then had to start over reading his "script" but I could understand him.
I asked if he could wave the balance transfer fee, and he said he was unable to do that. I didn't persist or ask to speak to his supervisor, but I should have. According to the experts, the time to negotiate is before they have your business. After they have you as a customer, they aren't so interested!
My property tax rate stays low
because there are so many mansions in my town. There is a house on the market right now for $23 million, plus lots of others in the 5-10 million dollar range. What is really sickening is that these are second or even third homes for some people. But they are paying such high taxes, it really takes the burden off us little guys who live way, way, way on the other side of the tracks.
Would you also want your income taxed at the 40% rate?
At one time England did that. The friends we had in Cananda said they were taxed to death on their income, but they were pretty pleased with their healthcare. There is no easy solution.
I got a fixed-rate mortage through
They kept my note through the life of the loan and didn't parcel it off to some other lender. I also had a decent down payment saved up which helped a lot.
I get a bit of real-estate sticker shock too when I see what friends and family have paid for their homes in other parts of the country.
I purchased my home for $86,000. The original asking price was substantially higher, but it sat on the market for quite a while and they had lowered the asking a few times. I think they were just glad to finally get it sold. I have 1600 sq. ft, 3 bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths, dining room, living room, and partial basement. It was built in the mid 70s, so the rooms are not too small like some of the older homes. But it is not as spacious as the open floor designs that are popular today.
Just closed on 4.375 interest rate! nm
Are they adults? No. R-rate means under 17 not allowed. sm
Easy answer.
I know they told me 50 and I collect now at the same rate I collected
after his death when the children were little. However, I was 49 when the youngest turned 16, so I had to wait 1 year to re-collect. The laws may have changed since her situation, but I know this is true for me and I have no other extenuating (?) circumstances.
Check out HGTV.com Rate My Space (sm)
Regular people redoing their homes upload pics and others comment on them. It's very fun to see all the rooms, and you can get some very good ideas for designing and decorating your own space.
Flate Rate Priority Mail
Yes, thanks for posting this! I did not realize that domestic rates apply (8.95) when shipping to FPO and APO. Awesome!
I suppose I related to the rate of capital punishments
xx
How many hershey's kisses fit into a priority flat rate mail box? sm
Apparently, there is a contest going on about this. what would you say? Just curious. I have a guess, but I'm going to keep mine secret! shhhh hahahah
and the crime rate dropped 20 years after abortion was legalized

Pay off highest interest rate debt first, then the next, and onto the next. The house can wait. Do

At that rate, I could make in a week what I make

Thanks! That was enough info for
me to find the sheet music :)
Some info for you

LOL! I did not know that! Thanks for the info!! nm

Thank you for the info.
I just registered and I appreciate your response. I'm sure my husband would love for me to have more of a sex drive. ;)
Gee. thanks for the info! I appreciate it! nm

info
Needing this information depends on if you need to use both of your incomes. If not, i would not worry about getting this letter. All mortgage companies are different in what they require. I would just try to use your previous 1099. I am sure the company would not have a problem writing this letter though if needed. If you just explain to them what it is needed for. I am sure you would not be the first person to ask of this.
I don't own a TV but get info from the net

Thanks for the info but not really getting that much
No matter what the cost of the property sold, the rate I am paying (as others would do) is less than $3,000.00! When you take into consider the previous realtor I had was charging 10% of the total amount, I am coming out smelling like a rose. I tried to tell my relative the earnest money was like down payment but apparently not being believed. Their son was selling some property without a realtor and they got up front and got to keep around $500.00 from a sale that did not go through but mine, I told her, was different. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the info!!

Thanks so much for this info..
am sitting here wondering why did I not think of that! I think there is a new walk in really close to me, in fact. I have fibro, like I said and I am 1 big ache to start with with pain in the legs, arms, shoulders but this most excruciating pain right now is in the ribs, not more 1 side than the other, almost unbearable. I once again appreciate so much the helpful thought!
Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info..
Going to try it out.

She's been on BCP for around a year now...not for contraception initially...for dysfunctional bleeding. Thankfully though, she's somewhat protected. But you know, pregnancy isn't what scares me the most, it's a deadly disease that she could contract...it's a disease that could leave her unable to have a child when she does meet the man she wants to marry. I just feel like crying, she's my little girl...
You don't need a cop to get that info. - sm
It can be found on the internet (for a price) if you know where (Florida) and how to look.
Hey, thanks for all the info
I especially like the part where you say, "I'll be firing AT&T for the phone service." . . . sounds REALLY good about now. Have had a few problems since "the change", and seems they always want to have me try to discuss the issues they are causing with their employees overseas. All I got ta say about dat is . . . taint gonna happen.
Huh? What was that? I need you to transfer me to someone in the United States! LOL!
Thanks again!

My son is 8, he's in 3rd grade.
He can concentrate for hours on videogames. We spend all of our time together, except for the hours he is in school. Of course, I'm a SAHM MT, so that makes for more time for us. He talks nonstop to everyone, everywhere, all the time. However, my dad and my DH's dad do the same thing, so that could be inherited!
I'm not sure if ADD is the right word here, but don't know how else to describe it. He's not behind by any means in school, however the thing is, it takes him twice as long to complete *jobs*, as his teacher puts it, than the other kids. I know from my experience with him and homework, and it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get one worksheet done. He's just extremely social, I guess. He can't sit still. He has a hard time focusing, I do know that much.
Medication is the last thing we want to do (yes, his father is VERY involved in his life...we are an intact family). I'm thinking about taking him to his ped's office just to talk about some things we can try. I don't want him labeled with anything unless we know for sure he has it. I'm just exploring options right now.
Thanks for the advice and responses y'all, keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info!
I thought there would be more restrictions but I guess it is more or less common sense.
Thank you for this info!
We have been tangling with FAFSA since my daughter graduated high school in 2004 but the school that she goes to is less than helpful in giving out information. I have learned more from you than all of the financial "experts" we have spoken to. Thank you for posting!

He's worked for this company for 11-12 years, however they just moved across town in July, so he's been driving since then. He absolutely hates the drive, comes home tired and cranky every night. And by apartment, I did mean one of those weekly hotel-thingies.
thanks for the info
Thanks a lot - I am kind of leaning toward the Monte Carlo but will do a lot more checking before deciding. . I do think it would be best to stay on the strip.
thanks for the info
Thanks guys. Glad to hear there are some happy people out there. I'm looking forward to knowing all there is to know and getting on with the every day stuff. Happy New Year.

I definitely need to lose the plastic hamster cage. It has metal slats on the sides and all of their bedding gets pushed out all over the floor. Who ever thought that was a good idea. I wish they would have warned me at the pet store.
BTW, three days after we got them, one of them chewed its tail off or one of the others possibly did it. Ever heard of that?

The dinner is going to be at a 5-star resort in CA. Of course, he hasn't gotten me much info yet. He'll wait til the last minute, as usual. I don't know anyone else to call that may know for sure what this event is like, but it sounds maybe *swanky* but not black tie...thanks for your response though!
Thank you for the info...
Her mom called me again a little while ago. Just wanted to chat. I know she will come around on her own. I will respect her wishes to be left alone. It just baffles the heck out of me.
more egg info
I had a friend from England and she always stored her eggs in an egg basket on the kitchen counter! She said that's always been the way they did it in England. I was amazed she wasn't dead of some kind of horrible egg bacteria poisoning.
Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for the info..sm
This little one is just a sweetheart! She is an absolute doll. I just feel so bad for her when she cries and cries. When we first brought her home she was given an anxiety medication to help her calm down and to help her deal with the coughing. She would cough so much she would get out of breath and then couldnt get enough air in. At one point she was in ICU for respiratory distress. We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he just loves his basset sister! He is always trying to love her and make her feel beter and they sleep together all the time. My daughter made a sign over their pet bed that says King Monroe and Queen Zoey sleeps here!
Anyway, thanks for the info. I appreciate it!!
Thanks for all the info cat, unfortunately
it is snowing here and the entire sky is gray. I doubt we will get to see anything but we are certainly going to try.
thanks for this info! nm
