And they say divorce is less traumatic on adult children....
Unfortunately, this is NOT the case. Adult children whose parents divorce quite often end up just as you have described. They are old enough to form their own opinions which are quite often colored by their life experiences and how they relate to each parent as an adult with adult biases and opinions. Divorce, regardless of the age of the children, always affects the children and people who are "waiting until the kids are grown" are only deluding themselves.
Yes. Army MT
My husband is in the Army. This is the perfect job because when you relocate, you don't have to worry about changing jobs and starting over! 
I work for the Army, we do it like this....sm
The exercise was conducted at 1645 in the U Area..
I do this job with young children around and neither my job nor children have suffered...
It can be done...
He is in the Army National Guard,
last summer when he was 17 and is doing "on the job training" this summer. Yes, he has enjoyed it very much and we are so very proud of him. He is my only child and so has been hard on me, but he is doing what he wants, so that makes me happy. When he comes home in 2 weeks, he is trained and could have orders to go wherever (Iraq) and so I am not looking forward to that. I wish you and your son the best, and thank him for serving our country if he does enlist.
too late for Salvation Army. :(
Churches she ha contacted have met their quota, too.
I will do that or Goodwill or Salvation Army- sm
I tend to go to one of those 1-2 x a year, also donate to the Oncology dept. at the hospital where my daughter is treated. The clinic relies on donations for kids toys, etc. so they can play/be occupied during their doctor visits. So to those of you out there, your local hospital's pediatric depts. are a good place to donate used toys, books, movies, games, etc. in good condition.
I lived in France for 3 years. Dad was in the Army. sm
I think it would be a terrific opportunity for you to go. If you don't like it, you can always return to US. However, if you don't go, you'll regret it later in life.
I vacationed in Italy and it's wonderful.
Go! Bella Italia! Bella, bella!

Swiss Army Knife, steak dinner, anything remote controlled
maybe a toy remote control car or a new universal remote?
I'd rather act like an adult than be an adult trying to act like a kid.
s
Adult trying to act like a kid?? What does that mean??
Adult trying to act like a kid? What does that mean? That adults cant go to rock concerts? You are the fool for generalizing about how kids or adults should act. I act the way I want, I believe the way I want, I am the way I want to be..Dont like it?? Tough. Your post really makes no sense. I would suggest you check out rockers, most of them are over 40, and they are still rocking..
Any child is more adult than you are.
I grow weary of your tiresome chatter.....
So again having sex between 2 adult males sm
or females is the same grouping as men raping boys??? Come on, you are the one that needs an education.
She was an adult, not her mother's choice
Obviously there is enough evidence to hold at least 1 suspect as he is still being held! What about him? Poor him huh? You are exactly the kind of person who talks one way, but given the problem being placed on your doorstep, you would cry and complain just like the rest of them. If it were your child, you be just as angry and scared and frustrated as she is.
Yes, i advise my "children" he is an adult now. sm
He accepted the job as it was and can quit or accept the terms. my dh and i run a construction business. he runs around and spends 2 hours a day just picking up help. we do not pay travel time. you either choose to go or you don't. we do, however, buy their lunch when it is a longer than usual travel. when they are ICs as usually with any manual labor field, labor law and travel time doesn't constitute for their positioning. turn the situation. if someone was coming to your house to do some work, would you be willing to pay every person on that crew travel time? probably not because that would significantly raise the price which you probably already think it too high to do the work you need. you have to realize they are ICs as we are and have all the expenses of trucks, tools, gas, taxes, etc. and have to cut their prices because foreigners are taking over the manual labor fields as well and working for pennies just as transcription is doing but manual labor isn't going to overseas, overseas is coming to the US for pennies. i would have him ask the man he works for about it but it the guy accepts either live with it or quit. i doubt he will get it as with 18yo he can't have a lot of experience to constitute the extra pay, etc.
Like it or not, she is a legal adult and can do what she wishes.
You can tell her your opinions, but you really have no control over this. Just as you wouldn't want someone forcing you to have an abortion because they believe it's right, she likely doesn't want you trying to force her to keep it because it's what you think is right.
All you can do is be there for her if/when she needs you. Yeah, it may stink that her beliefs are not the same as yours, but there's nothing you can do about.
You're ridiculous. He's an adult and she can't do that.
She can talk to him, keep the lines of communication open with him, pray for him, but she has to decide what consequences she is willing to accept by where she draws her line of acceptance.
You cannot make decisions for grown children.
What a hateful parent to even try. Counsel them with a tender heart-to-heart but try to force them into living like yourself? HATEFUL.
Why don't you do the adult thing and just BAN her from posting here instead of sm
doing through all of this drama and mess. It's getting old and I would think an owner of an MT board would be much more professional than this.

Thanks for input. There were so many to chose from..sm
I hate to pay that much money though but I really would like this account.
I chose transcription because
I always wanted to work in the healthcare field, but did not necissarily want to be a nurse or doctor. I can handle the blood and guts....that really doesn't bother me one bit. It's the vomit that I can't take. Have a major problem with it. So, in being a transcriptionist, I get to work in the medical field and learn a lot. I get to type a lot...which I love to do. I get to work from home, which is great because I have a son and I can be here when he gets home from school. I am a fairly shy/introverted person, so this job works wonderful for me because I can do it from my home and do not have to deal with people face-to-face every day. I put in many years of working retail, customer service, and waitressing. Then, I finally decided to go to school for this. I have been happy ever since.
That's why I chose not to take them at all anymore. (s/m)
That way no one's feelings get hurt. I can always buy my OWN clothing, and if I have something I no longer wear the other friend might want, I can still give that to her, instead.
I deliberately chose MT...sm
I was working as a paramedic and knew if I worked at home as an MT I could still take calls. My training was medical, from my paramedic courses. Ended up working in house first though, and at various places such as the Coroner's office. I also worked as a medical assistant and did transcription on the side. I ended up getting a small account of my own and when my daughter was born, I decided to go for completely home-based work. Ended up actually owning my own MTSO and making very good money. It was the best thing in the world to be home with my kids but after watching the field very closely, I've decided to go back to school. I've got one year left in a Bachelor's of Nursing program. I'm in school full time but since I only have to run my company to get a salary, I'm managing it. My plans are to go on to a Master's so I can be an advanced practice nurse. Looking back -- I still would have done it this way. I actually enrolled in nursing school 20 years ago but dropped out due to health reasons. I'm mostly glad I was home with my kids and had the opportunity to make a bunch of money to sock away so I had choices...like school now.
I chose it because it's about the only thing a non-
I would suck at front-office work, sales, customer service, teaching, nursing, etc. or else I would've left MT for one of those long ago.
well, I am an adult with teen kids, so it's not too hard to
In catechism class as an adult, they told us - sm
told us "it's better to remain as you are, but get married if you absolutely must." This was a group of people mostly over 40 who were studying to become Catholic.
A parent's job is to raise a child the way they should go as an adult ....
Isn't part of being an adult cleaning, taking responsibility? If so, YOUR job is to make them clean, certain rooms on certain days, not just during vacations. (I'm at work so this is succinct, and probably not real tactful, sorry)
i took an adult education class for 5 bucks,
in California 33 yr ago. I'm pretty sure most everyone trained on the job in those days, but i paid $5 for the course and bought a few books (med dictionary, workbook etc). This was an intensive course though with a great teacher -- 8r a day x 6 months and i probably studied 4-5 hr a night. I had a job before i got out of 'school' and i've worked continuous ever since, in many capacities, a number of states. I do think there are too many places nowadays however that take your money and don't prepare you well. But it's WHAT they teach, not the name of the school. We spent a good deal of time on word roots/prefixes/suffixes, interpreting sound, easily confusables, how to research, etc. Training my ear did not come easy for me, but i believe everywhere i've worked, i've been considered one of their best. Again, its not where you've been but what you learned when you got there!!
I'd like to know why in the world she chose that name. So stupid. nm

Laid off or chose to take time off? (sm)
Be accurate, now!
I'm sure they all are great schools, but I chose CS.
I am also working right now typing acute care. I was hired before I graduated, so now I'm trying to finish the course in my spare time. Andrews and M-Tec are great schools, I am sure, and any school you choose would be a good choice. Good luck! 
I didn't like what settings I chose (sm)
using Tonks directions so I tried changing back to the original settings and had a bit of trouble regaining them. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try changing your settings using the wizard. You might create a system restore point before you make any changes so you can easily restore your old settings if need be.
You chose IC status. Your responsibility. nm

I chose HPI-SUM over At-Home Professions sm
When I trained 13 yrs ago. I looked at them both. I ordered the first packet of AHP and I didn't like the way it was presented and sent them back because I could get my money back within a certain time. I really liked the HPI-SUM program syllabus. I liked it particularly because it seemed like more work and was harder. I knew that this job could not possibly as simple it was presented with AHP and I was right.
I never have worked in house for anyone. I have been at home for 12+ years and I do quite well with accuracy, speed and scope of knowledge. Of course, there are still a lot of things I don't know and I'll learn a lot of them over time, I hope. Which brings me to the last point, that being no program is really going to prepare you for this job and even with training, there is no guarantee you'll ever be able to make a living at it. AAMT (or whatever they call themselves today) stated that something like $26K was the average yearly wage for an MT. Given that many of us do ohhh so much better than that, there have to be plenty who don't come near that figure. HPI-SUM stated in their packet that 60% of the people who complete their course will not be successful MTs and I have heard that figure about other courses too. Success for me means making a full time income for full time work at around the $25K a year mark (though I do better, that was my goal then). I personally know 5 other MTs who don't make $12K a year for full time work, that is not success when every one of them has been an MT for 5+ years.
However...there is no reason you are not part of that 40% who WILL succeed! I was.
What? Don't like changing adult diapers all night long?

DUH? Thats common sense. Not in the mood that day, so chose to be
MQ chose the public forum for us to ask questions.
Do you have any better idea?
They offered a job. They are not producing the goods. They don't return phone calls and they don't have any policy manuals for employees or contractors.
There is no other way to ask the question. They brought us to this place through their misrepresentation of facts. The fact is they offered work. So why shouldn't they be looked at for unethical work practices? I was looking for a job, they offered one. It's not my responsibility now to go look for another job. They need to reply as to why there is no work.
chose = choice (Guess you won't be hiring me, lol).

trying to chose a laptop, please, re connection and speed
what please is the difference in ability to connect between:
802.11 a/g/n (cannot remember if it was wireless)
802.11 a/b/g wireless
802.11 b/g wireless
..................
Re speed, I saw somewhere the a/g/n is 5 times faster, true? or is the speed in the gHz or in the hard drive rpm...????
I would really really appreciate some input, and thanks.
Glad to hear that my adult knitting friends and I are "trashy."

I'd join it!

I will so join you on that!
If you'll also add a branch for cell-phone drivers ... SHHH*T (...In Traffic).
Why thank you ER MT, and sure you can join
me anytime you'd like. It is very cold here in the state of Delaware, too, and I think the snow is coming! I love the snow when it first falls because it is so pretty. We like to go to Rehoboth, which is a little over an hour south of us, so that's where I drift when it is cold and stressful. Thanks for you help by the way with the avatar, I greatly appreciate it. 
join me???
Me and a few other transcriptionists are going to do hand-written letters to The White House about how outsourcing is affecting hospital employees, transcription in particular. I am having them to mail me their letters, and I am going to put them all into a big envelope together and mail them to The White House. If you would like to join us in this, please email me and I will give you my address so that your letter can be in there as well. We are trying to get our voices heard and save our careers, so please join us.
Unless it was an arranged marriage, yes, she gets the "blame" for the husband she chose to mar
I get the jest of the "warning label" post, but you cannot deny the fact that SHE CHOSE this man. She also chose the first man she married and divorced. Get screwed over once, it's them; get screwed over twice, it's you. The last thing I would suggest to the original poster would be to leave her current husband in order to find a third one. She's not good at picking husbands. Even if both of them were losers .... she's an adult and she made that choice. Maybe she didn't know he was a jerk beforehand. Well, that again proves that she is lacking the proper skills needed to pick a suitable husband and father. If you marry a jerk, you have nobody to blame but yourself. If you continue to stay married to a jerk, your kids will end up blaming you, too.

A Time to Kill proabably--- have lots more of course that rank up there, many are old movies as my mom got me into them.
Do not cheat you chose to retire earlly deal with it
That is part of the problem everyone wants everything. If you took early retirement, stay retired. Do no try to go around the system or the rules. If everyone pays their full share it is fair. But when you try to cheat hopefully it will come back and bite you as we do not need this . Everyone needs to pay taxes on their income whether it is IC or employee. If everyone pays their share it is fair. You chose early retirement, deal with it.
Another group to join...sm
DeadBeatHunters@yahoo.com - you can learn from other posters. Be careful about the accuracy of their advice, though. The monitor told me that you can get retroactive to your application with CSE, but the CSE attorney said they do not do that. Since it took 2 years to locate my husband' Ex, that could have been alot of money!
http://www.deltabravo.net/custdy/ - you can go here because one of the forums is called Child Support. They even have a page there where you can learn things that are specific for your state. I think that's where you can read about child support laws in your state.
What's your case about? Do you have an CS order signed by a judge? Can the deadbeat be located? Is he interstate (it's a felony to leave the state if you are in arrears for child support).
Just don't give up! Good Luck!
Join Curves or a gym...really
I have found that if I get up in the morning and go to Curves on a regular basis after I send my kids off to school, I have the chance to interact with people, get some exercise, and even make some good girlfriends because you are all there at the same time every day or every other day. You feel good by the time you get home, take a shower and sit down to work. I've also found church to be a huge outlet as well as getting involved with community events (i.e. volunteering) to be very rewarding. You have to make your life, it does not come to you. Hang in there, this is a great job to have, don't give it up for that reason, you can really make the isolation a non-issue. Best Wishes
