Run to the post office????
I think we're talking a phone call type of RSVP/an informal party invite. But are you now saying you don't respond to wedding invitations and the like either???? Just curious :)
hubby works for post office
They LOVE Netflix. It brings a lot of work to them.
My DH also works for post office, but hates Netflix (sm)
His job is to keep all those post office machines running, and he says those Netflix envelopes jam them up!
Any office supply place, like Office Depot or Staples. Try copyholder instead of typing stand.
Might see if your local Staples, Office Depot has someone that does office machine

doctor's wife who was the receptionist/office manager at his office nm

He is 100% at fault.
He agreed to park it on his property and it was stolen while on his watch. End of story. Yes, your husband perhaps should have taken care of things before he drove off for the night, BUT your BIL agreed to keep it for him. Yes, as the poster below stated, it is really no different than if he borrowed your car and it was stolen while in his possession. I would not let it go, they are plain out and out wrong. I do not understand how people sleep at night when they treat others that way, family to boot!
I truly hope you get something resolved. Good luck to you.
It's not the dog's fault
Why would you call them stupid dogs and then say you can't shoot them?? and you have a dog of your own. It's the pet owner's responsibility. The dog's don't bark just to annoy the neighbors. The owners should take responsibility or they shouldn't have dogs.
s
No....it isn't the dog's fault.
The OP was complaining of just barking. I was complaining about a lot more than just barking. My mother is 64 y/o, widowed, and suffers from MS. She has a right to be able to walk in her yard without worrying about the neighbor's dog knocking her over, barking at her, tearing out her trash, or getting under her feet and making her fall.
I understand that it isn't the dog's fault but no matter how many times you call the Sherriff or the humane society.....nothing is done. They still have the dogs and my mom still deals with it everyday. She has no rights whatsoever to keep her yard animal free and she has to live like this.
I personally feel that anyone should have a right to shoot any stray animal on their property. If pet owners aren't going to be responsible enough to keep their pets in their own yard, they have to live with the idea of someone shooting their pet. I don't like other dogs on my property. I don't allow my dog to go off of our property.
Not your fault sm
There is a program on called, "Intervention" and you may or may not get it in your area (on cable). It is a very sad but true reality show that deals with addiction. You didn't do it to him. He has this "go" factor in his brain that makes him want the drug more than anything else in the world and he will lie, cheat and steal to get it. If there is free counseling, get it or call NA and ask if there is a program you could go to yourself to learn how to deal with it. You can't go to AA for drugs unfortunately because they'll let you know right off the bat that it's for alcohol. There may be programs for multiple addictions you could attend. It all depends what tools you have wherever you live. Don't cushion his fall and don't be an enabler. I had to cut myself off from a brother I love dearly but he has to learn that I won't give him money, won't take his BS stories or anymore schemes. When I saw him last, I cried, he looked awful, but he did it to himself, the drug rules. There are many online chat rooms and I think if you Google "Recovery" or 12 step programs you may want to go in, sign in and just listen and at least get some feedback. You did not cause it and don't think for one moment you can cure it. The only one who can help your son is God and if you believe it, some power higher than himself. But he has to want it more than the drug. Intervenion may help. Don't enable him or he will reach a tragic end. Most of all, take care of yourself.
it's not all his fault
My dad is a teacher in California (I live in a different state) and has had 10 days per school year cut from his paycheck. The vacations are also longer during the school year as well. I don't understand the whole new office furniture purchase from your superintendent, but it sounds like your school system is just like everywhere else. Government-run systems/jobs have all had to make cuts, and schools seem to be the first that get screwed. All of the changes he has made probably stem from mandatory cuts he has to make to save money. Each school is going to be different how they implement them.
My husband's parents work for a government college and they are having the same problem with money. The college laid off so many people to save money. It is sad, but nothing can be done when it comes to mandatory cut backs. Hopefully things will change in the future, but it sounds like they are floundering to find ways to save money anyway the can.
hospital CEO's at fault too
Nurses not work when they are tired? Hospitals need to hire enough nurses so that won't be forced to work when they are tired- ARH nurses in our state are on strike right now fighting for this. about the Quaid babies, I agree the meds should be in totally different colored bottles.
You are saying to make up when you think not your fault?
I have done this before, a relative got very angry with me years ago and I told them if I could visit again I would never say anything to upset them again- if they said the sky was striped I would say, yes it was- that is what I had to do if I wanted to see them so I have done that- now having said that- he is upset about the fact he thinks I took his money and told me so. Why try to make amends when it would never be right in his eyes- he still feels slighted. An apology from me would not change his perspective on my having
so called cheated him out of what was due him.
Except FL has no fault divorce. Everything is 50/50.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
And it's not their fault you offend them.
But--this is another reason. It was very nicely explained, and yet the arguing continues. Sometimes you just need to state your opinion and move on. There are some you just won't win. Like this one--or the puppy mill one. Somtimes people just don't want to hear it, let alone hear it over and over again. Just step away from the situation.
how did i even imply it was his fault?
I was asking if it is something that can be worked out. Obviously this is my only long-term relationship. And what gave you the impression I "go out all the time". First of all I don't drink, at all. Secondly I NEVER went out until 2 years ago because he was in the Marines and I just stayed home all the time waiting for him and being worried... but you sound a lot like my mom, like if I am not married and popping out babies by the time I'm 30, I'm a total failure.
but that is not you daughters fault sm
that you had such a horrible life. I feel for you. I too had a pretty rough childhood but no way would I even think to make one of my kids pay for that. Sounds like you need some serious counseling or you are going to be one miserable lonely old lady.
I meant before now- you sound like it's my fault
I mean I have never gotten in trouble before this. Yes - I work for an extremely strict company - if you are late more than 5 minutes twice in a 30 day period, it counts as an absence. I missed one day last week for my daughter having strep; prior to that I had missed one day in 7 months due to child illness. My employer says you have to have someone else to watch your child when they are sick
And I bet the divorces weren't her fault, either.
f
It is not my fault others get offended at my opinions

No, NOTHING makes it the woman's fault, BUT....
I don't think the woman has anything to do with whether a man cheats or not. Period. End of Story. Spare me the long sob story about how the woman *never put out* for her man.
That said...
If a person who has been cheated on just sits and lets nature take its course, almost always they are vindicated.
If Princess Diana had just let Charles be Charles, he would have become and STAYED the laughingstock of Britain. And she would have become Queen. (Okay, maybe not Queen, but she was then and is still an icon in Britain, and he would have never recovered from his cheating on her).
In looking at the John Edwards scandal - it's very similar. Elizabeth never did anything wrong. If she continues on that path until her death, ultimately John Edwards will probably NEVER recover politically speaking.
When you do the RIGHT thing instead of the convenient thing, you will ultimately be vindicated.
I also disagree that it is never the woman's fault.
I do not know what your circumstances are, but there are a lot of wives out there whose fault it is that their husbands leave them.
There is something I would never, never do and this is cheating with a married man.
This is downright despicable, ruining marriages.
I say it's her mother's fault. Supposedly she was stage mom from
!!!!
It was the OWNERS' fault for allowing the dog to run loose.
The fact that you didn't see him and ran over him was an accident. That accident wouldn't have occurred if those people had been responsible dog owners and kept him in a securely fenced yard.
Nothing makes it the woman's fault - not even if she also cheats. sm
Two wrongs don't make a right. Men need to act more like humans and less like animals, and keep themselves under control.
On the subject of fault. Dont read if easily
If my opinion upsets someone, I think it is their "fault" (for lack of a better word) if they get upset. Everyone owns their own feelings and should not let someone else's opinion have so much power over how they feel. As far as lemmings and masses, those are generalities, a comment on society as a whole, not aimed at any one person.
I am sorry if my opinions have so much influence over others. I will try to keep my thoughts in check.
It's not the worker's fault. She has to follow the rules or be fired. sm
I've taken a lot of flack from a lot of customers, and the run-of-the-mill retail worker really has no freedom to make decisions. When the worker is caught between a yelling customer and a yelling manager, who do you think she'll listen to?
At the vet office I'm at...
We either take care of sending the pet to be cremated or the owner can pick up the body to bury/dispose of as they see fit. I personally disposed of two of the kittens that died while I was fostering them and the last one that died the vet offered to give me the body to bury where I wanted or cremate if I chose. I would give your vet office a call and see what their policy is.
My first job was in an office where everyone
smoked except me! It was horrible! Grew up with a smoking parent, too - so had to breathe it in the car. It was on planes, busses, trains, and in restaurants. There was no such thing as non-smoking motel rooms or airports, and even in junior high and high school, where you weren't allowed to smoke, everyone still did it in the bathrooms.
YUCKKKKKKK !!!
office
i have an office in one of the spare bedrooms and i hate it. i tend to tote the laptop out to the living room couch and watch judge judy while i type. not even sure why i have an office at all!
Does anyone not have an office?
Not really office but does anyone not have clutter. Just a computer and a notebook? I'm going to be moving my office shortly to another room in the house and I'm looking around thinking "WHY do I have all this crap?" It is like I am at a real work environment with other employees, etc. Stacks of busness cards, papers, sticky notes, pcitures of family, funnies, cup full of pens, candy dish, lotion, card s and pictures from my family, little trinkets and doodads, etc. Do I really need anything more than my equipment, a pen, and a notebook?
Go with her to SS office, I think at most SM
you have to take a number or sign in, they will call you up, explain to them that your mom did not understand she had to take Part B or that your dad's insurance would drop her when she became eligible. You will have to sit back down for a short time, then you will be called to speak one-on-one with a SS worker, explain the same thing.
I had to do this with my mother - she had some misunderstanding of Part B and declined it. She didn't know what she was doing. We are only talking a matter of months before I found out in this case, but they did back her effective date up to the date she became eligible and all Part B claims were then paid.
Try going to the office - it can't hurt. It took about a morning of our time, but the people there were very kind about the situation and it was well worth the 3 hours we were there to get things resolved.
When I worked in an MD's office,
this was discussed a lot. We identified 3 factors:
1. The rare but memorable mothball smell where people put on their best duds to see the MD, but they are from 1952, and have been stored in mothballs.
2. Corn starch powder, which has a very musty smell to my nose.
3. Rose water perfume. Everybody in the office would be nauseated when one of these ladies would come in.
LOL-your office looks just like mine sm
A conglomeration of everything but must make room for those babies! By the way, your dogs are gorgeous and I LOVE THAT TRUNK! Where did you get it? It would look just perfect in my front room.
wow that's wonderful. Maybe if we can get a dem in office
:)
Yes, and now that I work in an office,
other men act like I'm attractive and they'd be interested, so its really irritating to go home and be complimented, but it's empty words with no follow through. I think he might be ashamed of his body because he's overweight, but that's no reason to punish me.
Different places when no office available
I have been in just about every room of my house at one time or another. I started out working in the kitchen years ago because I had dialup and the apartment I lived in had only a phone jack there. The kitchen was my favorite because it was away from all the noise--that was when the kids were smaller, though.
I have had a desk in the bedroom before. It was handy when the kids were at school or hubby was home to take care of them, otherwise it was a pain because it was in the back of the house and if they needed something I had to get up from my desk.
The family room is okay, unless you have really loud family like mine. My kids must be deaf sometimes, I swear. Oh yeah and they argue in there over the TV the PlayStation, etc. However, you can deal with some of that from the desk without having to get up. It is a fair trade most of the time.
I had two different mobile setups over the years. One was laptop which was okay, but before WiFi, so expensive. The second, I had a desk on wheels that had everything I needed. I could roll it out to the back porch and sit there to work while the youngest was out playing. This was good for mild weather. Be forewarned, if it is really hot outside where you are, you may have PC problems. I used to have one that would overheat and shut itself off. Ugh!!. Oh, BTW, direct sunlight is bad if you have a laptop or plasma screen, so make sure you have shade!
I currently have my own "little room" for now which basically is the size of a really huge walk-in closet with a window and a door. I shut the door when the kids are home because the words "please be quiet, I cannot hear when you are yelling at eachother" apparently are not in teenager-ese.
Hope this was helpful!
Maybe the office has changed their
policy and will not just renew RXs without an exam.
At the doctor's office yes,
Everywhere else, no. I get frustrated when people don't come with a rewind button... ;)
What questions should I ask a potential new PCP's office? sm
We have an HMO, and I really need to stop procrastinating and find a primary care doctor closer to where my husband and I live now. (We've moved about 1-1/2 hours away from where we used to live.)
We rarely have to go to the doctor, but I do take daily prescription medications. We've had our current PCP for about the last 10 years, so it's been a long time since I had to pick a new doctor.
I've narrowed it down to about 5 doctors in the area here and plan to call and ask them some questions before contacting my insurance co. to make the change (which takes a long time to take effect, so it's not something you want to do a bunch of times if you can help it.)
The first thing I'll ask is if they are still taking new patients. (Obviously need to ask them that question!)
After that, I'll ask what their hours are and things like that, but does anyone have any suggestions for me as far as other questions to ask, or any other advice?
TIA, guys. I know you'll have some great ideas and things I might not think of. 
Was thinking he is just one of the office players. do not take it seriously.

I agree about the office politics...
and that is a definite plus about being at home. I like the fact that I don't HAVE to talk to anyone if I don't feel like it (unlike being in an office), but my schedule gives me the freedom to socialize with my friends and family when we want to get together and also be active in my church during the week.
They make the best office companions! nm
s
Yes and we share the home office
So he got to pick the scents at the candle store. He likes the pine, lilac, some "ocean scent" that smells nothing like the ocean, and some cinnamon holiday-type scent. They're all cool with me and I keep one burning every night because it's just nice and I like the glow. (I'm a night worker.)
Please call your doc's office for possible reactions with what you already take. nm

love Dwight and The Office!!
And you could always "UNSHUN" (also per Dwight) if need be a later time..:)
FYI-That's an actual custom in the Amish community - I just read a book about them called Plain Secrets. Very interesting!
That is weird. The techs at my vet's office sm
are very friendly and talkative. My poor doggie has been there so much they know him and are always happy to see him.
Pod people, indeed!
The Office, Lost, and don't laugh
but America's Next Top Model. My daughter and I are hooked. It is the best cheesy, brainless TV around.
My calendar is in my private office and no one
else in the family even knows what it is for. My daughter will even mark the calendar if I haven't done it. Just last month she came in to count the days so she could make plans for an upcoming swimming party. Just so tired of the speculation that all teenage girls are sexully active. Believe it or not there are still some good girls out there.
Call your doctor's office...
congrats!
Just had the injection in the office. The only part I did not like was seeing SM
the needle that close to the eye. He was very nice and I had confidence in him and it was over before I knew it. They just inject a steroid solutin and it dissolves it in short order. I had mine on a Friday evening some years ago and did not have to work the next day, but would have been up and at it the next monring. You will do just fine if that is what happens. The only part, like I said, was I got a terribly black eye, which actually had it hilarious moments, as you can image at work, etc. Good luck to you!
