Canada? When did Canada become a third world country?

island
Johnny Deep and icewater, that's all I'd need..lol
Ok, but I would rather buy the island
and banish all of the whiners and complainers there!
Where are you at on the Big Island?
We origially were thinking of moving to the Hilo area, but since my fiance started searching for jobs (he's in construction), he has noticed most of the jobs are in Kailua-Kona. We originally wanted to stay away from the tourist spots (lived in Waikiki before and hated it) and heard Hilo was a more family friendly place. So at the moment we are kind of torn where we want to move. We are going to just live in sublets or temporary housing until we figure out where we want to end up permanently depending on where he gets a job and also where we can still get high-speed internet for mine. Care to share what area you are living in and how you like it?
Well I own my own island right next to Mr. Dicaprio's and as soon as
I have my little jaunt there (with my champagne and caviar), I will be sure to swing by Hawaii and say hello and tootles!! ROFL
Treasure Island
My husband and I were married in Las Vegas last October. We stayed at Treasure Island in a honeymoon suite for around 140.00 per night. This price was Sunday thru Wednesday and then the price is higher for Thursday through Saturday. It was a really, really nice hotel. Our suite had a hot tub and his and her bathrooms. Treasure Island also has some nice restaurants to eat at as well. We were married at Viva Las Vegas, which is right on the strip. Everyone there was very nice and we had a wonderful time. We went out by ourselves so it is nice that Viva Las Vegas has a live web cam so friends and family back home can see you getting married. Getting married at a wedding chapel that is not connected with a hotel is a lot cheaper. I think our wedding package was around 400.00 and that included everything including our proofs. We had a limo that picked us up from our hotel, took us to get married and then brought us back. This was a wonderful experience that neither of us will ever forget. I would also suggest eating at Emeril's Delmonico Steakhouse as well as Hard Rock Cafe. Any other info you would like I would be happy to share. Conratulations and good luck!!!
I was just in Aruba -very nice island
Aruba is just like any other tourist destination where as long as you stay in the tourist areas, do not wonder off into the downtown areas at night and practice basic street-smarts, then there is no need for alarm and it is just as safe as any other place. I went to Aruba last month and we had a nice stay but I also went there years ago when I was about 16 w/my friend and her family. Of course we drank our little hearts out but we stayed in the hotel area and never wandered off. I will admit that we were harrassed by locals a bit (and I think it was because we were so young) but we ignored them and ALWAYS stayed together- we used our street smarts!!
It sounds as tho this young girl did not have as much street smarts as you or I. I would never leave with guys I just met by myself even if I were at a bar in my hometown area, nevermind in another country! It is common sense but unfortunately this young girl didn't know any better, or for whatever reason maybe she thought that she was safe with these boys and she probably thought they were just regular kids just like her & her friends. It is very sad that she possibly had to pay the ultimate price for what she thought was just an innocent mistake.
We as parents try to protect our children from so much, but at the same time, I think sometimes we are so focused on keeping the evil of the world out, that we possibly make our children more vulnerable.
Mine too!! Would love to be on that little island
:
lori who? wonder what island SHE lives on - sorry for being cat-ee
 not surprised guess I should really go read the story but if no details
of this person first I wonder if she really exists and if so and if they
can't brag on her situation, why can't they?
it should have been gwendolyn gopp from Op, Alabama who has worked for MQ
for 5 years or something like that. show a picture, show us her co-workers, show
us.
Paradise Island Bahamas
It is beautiful there and lots to do
You know, I felt exactly like I had been "thrown off the island"
I never watch "Survivor" or any other reality TV show but I have heard enough about it to know how it works. It saddens me that our young people are growing up with that kind of example - plotting behind other people's backs, ganging up on one member of the "team", always being out for number one.
Maybe "Leave It To Beaver" and "The Andy Griffith Show" were unrealistic, but at least they had good role models and discussed issues such as being kind to others, being truthful, and being a good person.
I know there are good people in the world - I just wish there were more of them.
sounds good to me right about now. when's the next boat to the island?
i'm ready.

St. Simons versus Jekyl Island
Jekyl Island is 7-8 miles south US 17 of St. Simons. They offer beautiful beaches, hotels, bike trails, golf, camping, and fishing. It is a more secluded vacation place. As you already know St. Simons has great restaurants, boutique shopping, etc. Just depends on what you are looking for in a vacation spot. I live in Brunswick. Hope this helps.
Majority of these came thru Ellis Island. Didnt

Respectfully disagree island girl
I was merely trying to point out that if one comes to rally the troops on such a topic, they need to know what they talking about. Quite honestly, this is a huge part of the reason MT is where it is today. We have our own US MTs who know nothing beyond typing their report and tallying their line count. Kudos to you for looking beyond and health care management. Unfortunatley, you may find yourself on the other side of the ball though, so be prepared. As part of the healthcare management team, you'll be expected to tow the line as far as cost cutting and hospitals are doing it every day. It's not the MT companies choosing to offshore, but rather the larger hospitals are demanding it to cut costs. Look around - hospitals are shutting their doors because they're out of money.

Okay I'm Really Bored. If you could only have one food and one person on desert island, what and
who would it be? No fair family members. We want a famous person and one food item to picnic forever on this island.
Love at first sight on the Long Island RailRoad
On the Long Island Railroad, traveling to Greenwich Village for the day and he traveling to a concert in Queens, NY. The instant I looked at his face and he talked to me and sat across from me on the train, I knew we would make history together, I knew something was gonna happen between us. He got off the train, I continued on to Greenwich Village, NYC..didnt get his number, nor he mine. Four months later I was driving into my apartment parking lot and he was driving behind me, said he recognized me from my sunglasses as I looked in the rear view mirror. He asked for my phone number and the rest is history..It was truly love at first sight..

Canada Day

I wonder if she was from Canada. sm
Used to have a doc from Canada who talked like that. It was hilarious to see how it printed out from voice recognition.
Where in Canada was this??
Did you go to private school in the U.S.?
Canada--MQ
MQ has offices in Canada, have you tried them??
MT in Canada
There don't seem to be any large companies like in the States. It seems most jobs are in-house with the hospitals. I consider myself very lucky to have found steady work at home with a Canadian company.

Canada
Hi Molly - I'm currently taking the Canscribe course and it is excellent. From everything that I've read they are the best school in Canada. I would certainly look into it further. The course is very thorough, well layed out and very user friendly! I'm pretty sure employers are happy to hire Canscribe graduates.
So where will the MDs run if both Canada and
So, the issue is because all the MDs in Canada left and came to the USA because they did not agree with the government run health care?
So if USA goes to the same thing, where will all the MDs run to? Don't they have the same thing in Europe, too?
I just don't understand. Will they all leave the profession? It is because they want more money than the government will pay?
It just all does not make sense to me. Reading this, I am more apt to blame the doctors than the government. They are the ones protesting the system and running away, all because they want more money.
Please tell me if I am understanding this wrong.
Maybe at the very least, we will get younger doctors getting into medicine for the right reasons and not so much for the big paycheck.
But I am probably understanding this whole thing wrong.
Thanks for your reply. I will probably read it again a couple times because it takes me a while to register things. Thanks. 
HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ANY
OTHER CANADIAN MTS OUT THERE!!!!.
MT Companies in Canada
What part of Canada are you from?
Canada drugs
I used them. Did not seem to have any problems. I figure you do not hear of Canadians dropping dead left and right from using the medication. Saved some money.
Hello there Canada :) Here is an idea.
Spheris offers training for a price and then will place you in a position. They hire Canadian MTs.
offshoring to Canada sm
My supervisor said offshoring includes what MQ does which is "offshoring" to Canada. Are they saving money there?
Ditto on that, just did a report on a guy from Canada who came to the U.S.
surgery....would have actually died if he had waited for the doc's in Canada to operate (obstructing adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder)...he'd been told he would have to wait 3-4 weeks to even get it dealt with in Canada...so it had the brains to come here to get it done....granted he's fighting with Canadian insurance now but at least he is alive.
Your welcome, Canada :) You snowbirds keep warm up there.

Enjoying the slaughter Canada?
They ought to ship a video of the baby seal slaughter with every piece of seal skin attire they sell.
And don't forget to catch a glimpse of the seal mothers going nearly insane with fear and pain as they watch their babies being clubbed to death in front of them.
Please write to the Canadian prime minister (or whatever they call the leader of that sick country) to express your outrage. That is, if you feel any at all.
Canada pharmacy recommendation
I've personally used this pharmacy in Canada by mail and they have been great.
I was wondering the same thing about Canada.....

I will take canada's health care in a nanosecond
Well, I gotta tell ya, I would love to have Canada's health care, as I dont have health care..You see, if you are an SE, MQ does not offer health care. So, universal health care through the govt, IMHO, is better than paying out of my pocket.
My experience was the opposite living in Canada.
I found their schoolwork to be remedial compared to what I learned in the U.S. In Canada, they used to have me work in the library and clean the teachers' lounge because the work didn't challenge me. In the U.S., I was able to take advanced and college prep classes so I didn't get bored with school.

Has anyone bought Rx drugs from Canada online? (sm)
Was your experience favorable? Were the drugs compatible with USA drugs. Allegra is an OTC in Canada and I can get it for 67 cents per pill as compared to $2.50 per pill in the USA. Lot of difference when you don’t have insurance!
