HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

You asked for opinions, so I'll give you mine. I know you have decided you won't go, but here is my take on that issue. You may not like your stepmother or her children. But your father is still your father. My Dad died just over 2 years ago. What I wouldn't give to have him back just for a Thanksgiving Day. You can get over your personal issues with your step family for the weekend and go and be with your father if you choose. Or you can let these "issues" get to you and choose not to go. Your father won't be here forever. None of us will. Love him while you can. Love yourself enough to be big enough to go and see him. You will never regret that. You WILL regret one day that you didn't go, and you won't be able to change it. You DID ask for opinions. That's all. Please reconsider. You don't have to stoop to your stepmother's level. Be the bigger person. LOVE YOUR DAD WHILE HE IS STILL HERE!!!! Be THANKFUL for him.Off my soapbox. Peace.

Thank you very much. I actually found a pretty good sample. I also found some sites in archives.

Thanks (once again) to all you kind MTs.

did you read this paragraph from the OP?  $135 a week is EXCELLENT PAY for India.....yielding around $8000 annually, so when compared to their average $500 annually - it's 40-fold......here's that paragraph from OP:

 
"Jaggesh may do 1,000 lines a day. At the average pay rate, that would earn her roughly $27 a day, or $135 for a five-day week -- good wages in India, where the average annual income is about $500."

-----------------------

thing about MTs in India are they are all business-degreed, college graduates, and average age is 27.  things about us MTs in USA are we are not *degreed* (most of us), we ARE college educated and/or grads (I would like to think most of us), but our average age is......so I have read......49.....so there is where I see the competition.

It's so unfortunate.....the entire world is youth-oriented......not just here.  We put in our blood, sweat, and TEARS for the better part of 20-40+ years for most of us here in the USA doing this work and professing it and getting it so the BOS even went from 90 pages in the 80s to nearly 600 pages in the 2000s.  THAT WAS DUE TO US - nobody else.

so give yourselves an ATTA-GIRL or ATTA-BOY here....I sure am thankful for all I've learned in this BIZ and continue to learn...so many decades later - so unfair that we are losing all the work to overseas.

Just thought I'd share this site in case some of you haven't seen it.. Turn your speakers up and enjoy! I thought it was cute!

Are there any MTs who can afford to go?  Are there any hospitals or MT companies who will pay for their MTs to attend the meeting in Honolulu? 

Do you suppose next year's meeting might be in Bangalore or Bombay?

in-house hospital employee around Carmel Valley?   Hourly range or annual salary.

Thank you so very much for any information!!

a good time to show the house.  All during the holidays, with families visiting and such, is a very good time for homes to sell.

It is absolutely HER job to show your house.  She should also only be bringing pre-qualified buyers.  She should also abide by your request regarding when the house may be shown.  After 3 is certainly not unreasonable, assuming you aren't including weekends in that.  Many buyers are out and looking earlier on weekends. 

In any case, I would call her broker and change agents NOW, if I were you.  Why waste another few weeks, or even days, when it is only delaying the sale of your home.

Just my opinion. 

Not much to many maybe, but my husband still surprises me sometimes.

He works 3rd shift as a dock supervisor at a local shipping company that's only about a mile from our house. He doesn't like to think of himself as "supervisor" because he's always been a team player.

Because they load trucks to ship out the next morning, he had the night before Thanksgiving off, but had to go in at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. "Lunch Break" is right around midnight and he found out that one of the younger single guys hadn't had Thanksgiving dinner because he had to stick around to go to work instead of going to visit family.

So I hear a bit of commotion in my kitchen around 1:00 a.m. and find that  my husband had brought the guy to the house and had warmed up Thanksgiving Dinner for their lunch break.

Now isn't that just too sweet?

Of course they left me the dishes, but oh well.

Thank you to MT Stars for not only being willing to let us express our opinions, but also for not censoring them.  This bulletin board has more frank and direct information regarding working conditions and companies as an MT that without MT Stars, there would be a lot of wool pulled over MTs eyes.  This board is 100 times more valuable than paid boards, because paid boards are so worried about stepping on any toes.

  and I am sure gonna try to not overeat!! 

ENJOY Y'ALL!!   

 Happy Turkey day!
