Going in the summer or the fall? If the fall, you need to be there early enough while the colors

Ugh.... Please don't fall for ....
this boloney! I firmly believe that WE are creating this explosion in cases of ADHD. The child is FOUR YEARS OLD and not developmentally ready for "school work." In my day we went to kindergarten as our first school experience. The emphasis was learning to be part of a group, socializing appropriately, listening to the teacher, retelling stories, and basically learning HOW to be a student. We didn't even start reading until 1st grade. I was reading at 2nd year college level in the 9th grade. I know that's not how it's done anymore, but it should. A child that age learns through play. A few kids pick up reading at 4 or 5, but it shouldn't be forced. Some kids don't blossom with reading until 2 grade, and it's perfectly okay. Studies show that children pushed early on academics compared to children who are not pushed are equal by about 3rd grade, showing that the early pushing does nothing long-term towards academic success. Reading TO your preschooler, providing stimulating play, and opportunities for socialization with other children is all they need. I would personally find a preschool that has that belief as opposed to pushing the academics. Your child was a newborn baby 4 years ago and now she's suppose to be doing worksheets and learning to read and do math? I don't think it's right.
It was 24 yrs this fall, though no all of that is MT nm

Fall is my favorite
Summer is too hot!! Fall is just right and football starts!
Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Now that fall is here and I'm having to use heat my
face is dry and itchy. I've started using a humidifier to add moisture in the air, but I need a lotion too. I have very sensitive skin too. I've used several OTC lotions and they haven't helped much. Looking for a good moisturizer for all over, but mostly for the face.
Yes, but only after I fractured it off in a fall. sm
Had a Colles fx of the radius, too. Now, if I rest my wrist the wrong way, I feel the ulnar styloid pain. You probably should get yours checked out to see if anything can be done to help. I truly feel your pain!
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Wow, hair fall???
I have some problems, but sure can't attribute hair fall to MT work?!!! Have that checked out, please!
My problems are: Aches and pains here and there, swollen ankles/feet (sometimes severe), and I do believe my eyesight has changed some in the past few years due to computer usage.
No fall out from me, I agree with you
People that are complaining are the ones from home, started out at home, after graduating from an online school that promised them the big bucks. Get real training (2-year degree), train at a hospital first, get your lines up, and then venture out on your own. I bet that is how the non-complainers on here did it. They were confident in their skills and line count before trying to venture out on their own. If I had done an online school, worked at a national for a year, made 100 lines an hour, I would think this career sucks too! So instead they are here crabbing. If I spent as much time on these boards complaining about the industry, I wouldn't be making any money either. Get over it, quit complaining, and get to work! I didn't even know our industry "sucked" (as so many people think it does) until I came here and read posts. Get over it or get out! It is sooooo getting old hearing about it. Same crap, different day! Can anyone tell me about an online forum where the real professionals are. I can't handle MTStars anymore. Good bye!
I fall into that category
I've been at this over 25 years. In its heyday, I have W2s showing 65-70,000. Yeah, I worked easily 55-60 hours a week, but at least I felt I had something to show for it. I'm putting the same hours at the desk, but only making a third of it now, between the lowered wages and the lack of work. I'm too old to learn an entire newly career (I'd be dead by the time I finished any lengthy course), nor do I make enough money to pay for anything; most of the time I have a hard enough time keeping the utilities on, let alone the money for classes of any sort.
I don't where the $31,000+ is being made for an 8 hour shift 5 days a week, but please point me in that direction.
How much did your income fall?

I vote for nobody should :-)
That's one thing I really miss about living in AZ, no DST ...... If I could figure out how to move Camelback Mountain to Texas, that's where I'd retire LOL.

I vote always
I always vote. Mandisa, Chris, Taylor, and Katharine to me are the best. I wish Kevin would go. He is sweet but to me the worst. Kellie was really bad last night I thought. My BF loves her. She is funny but dingy.
I vote for JC
Jim Carrey. He was just totally irresible in the Fire Marshall Bill skit on In Living Color. What a doll!

My vote (for what it is worth) is NO. Let him figure it out for himself.
I did. Everyone else please vote.

Please go there and vote, and let me tell you what I did. sm
We have a show on Sunday nights here, a call-in show that deals with all sorts of issues. A while back there was a huge ruckus when the Oreck plant relocated to Tennessee, they said they "couldn't find qualified workers" after Katrina. Before I moved here I guess there was a jeans plant of some sort, Levis or whatever, and it went to Mexico. So I e-mailed the host of the show and told him he should consider doing a show on outsourcing and detailed my experience at having been outsourced, and the whole health care info going to India thing, and I did not hear back from him! I was shocked because I interpret no response as not giving a rat's behind about where his info goes. Maybe he didn't want to "get involved" because the hospital that ditched us is a big advertiser on the station, I don't know, but I sure thought something positive would happen, the topic would come out in the open, but as of this point it doesn't look like it will. We all need to keep knocking on doors and rattling windows, though, or we'll be sunk. My opinion and I'm sticking with it.
My vote is in!
Anyone who is a friend to animals is a friend of mine!
Thank you - I vote yes
For me, it's just a nice touch that says a lot, I guess. :-)

I vote for
USMTA
"Striving to preserve the security and integrity of medical records in the USA"
How about that for a motto?
I'm on board!
I vote
for Asian accents. Most difficult for me!

If this is something that appeals to you, I say go for it; however, I don't think MAs are compensated as well as they should be for their knowledge (sound familiar?).
I became an LVN in 3 semesters and an RN with an AS degree in 4. I'm job hunting for a nursing position now with not much success, even in the midst of this critical nursing shortage, so I can only imagine that the immediate outlook for medical assistants is not that bright.
Saying all this, the MAs I've worked with have been awesome, brilliant people who loved what they were doing and were HAPPY.
I think you should follow your heart.
Ever heard the old saying if you dont believe in something, you'll fall for anything? while you sit
people are having true experiences that make them have hope and belief that there is something more out there. With that attitude of yours, you're going straight to limbo!
Kids don't fall out of the sky, sweetcheeks. nm

never thought I would say it, but can't wait for FALL
It is so hot here in Ohio. The temperature can be in the high 80s or 90s but with the humidity, it puts the heat index up in the hundreds. You can't even walk outside without feeling like you can't breath. Can't wait for fall with the cooler air and the falling leaves. We are holed up in the house with the curtains closed and the shades drawn and the air cranked. Hot where you are?
I love fall but it is too short. nm

Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
Did you just fall off the turnip truck?
Of course it's a scam. Grow up.
Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears.
But give it a shot.
Sure if you have a husband to fall back on!
I wouldn't be able to raise my children on my salary alone. We would have to live at the Salvation Army!
June to October? More in fall
Son will start Princeton in the Fall. nm

Legends of the Fall with my cousin's
Brad Pitt (when he was a HUNK pre-Jolie, obviously).
Notebook and Legends of the Fall....nm

I think we fall more into the Fred and Wilma
Flintstone category. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif)
LOL--Agree. I fall asleep sometimes too..
just nod right off. I go back and listen, and I've always typed it correctly.
45 to 70 minutes, if I don't fall asleep. nm

I actually did fall asleep once, and kept typing.
When I semi-woke up at the end of the report I sent it in without extra proofing...had to do some fancy explaining the next day! Now when I get that way, I take a 20-minute nap (set a timer). It really does help for a couple of hours.
Kaysar with 82% of the VOTE!!! Yes!!! nm

Third vote for Amphion here!
nm
Another vote for Amphion--
so far, quite good. I've had the same account since I started. Nice equipment, good tech support (which I've only needed once), and calm staff who leave you alone to work during the day. They're definitely worth considering.
Be sure you ask your senator to vote....sm
to pass the Safe ID act which was presented to congress by Senator Markey. This particular bill would require anyone sending things like medical or banking records out of the US to obtain consent from the consumer/patient ahead of time as well as yearly afterwards. Educate all of your friends, neighbors and family that HIPAA does not cover your medical records leaving the US and therefore when they receive medical services they should request in writing that their medical records remain exclusively in the US.
2nd vote here for Goldtouch.
z;
All I can say at this point is....VOTE
FOR PEDRO!
Did any of you call to vote for her? If not,
I certainly know that I didn't and never do vote for anyone on American Idol.
