fund for peidmont maybe
As you were not even the original poster- you sure are hot to get that fund started. My prayers are with her - we have all been in places of our life where we did not think we would make it - the prayers of our family and friends and support of our community helped.
This fund your want to build up - have you contacted them for information, name, address, bank number, account number, bank phone number - or is it possible you already know these things.
Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

What I meant to post above
From somebody in Houston.
Well...
I feel sorry for these people - they have lost everything - they have nothing. I blame their own government at least a bit for not evacuating the ones that were too poor or had no way to evacuate.
That being said, it isn't going as well here as the media makes it out to be. Anthony has been down the to the Astrodome as required by the Fire Department, and I went down on Saturday with a friend of mine.
The Astrodome holds around 50,000 people - and there aren't that many evacuees down there. There are bathroom facilities, but these people are squatting on the streets, parking lots, and lawns of places down around the astrodome and leaving behind urine and fecal matter. They are throwing trash wherever they are when they finish with it, and quite a few act like we "owe" them something. I can't tell you how many people were bitching about the MRE's that they were being served.
As high as gas prices are, I will go out of my way not to have to drive by the Astrodome (my RE's office is about 1 mile from the dome). When you stop at a stop light they come up to your car and beg - and knock on the windows. There have even been reports of some jumping in the backs of pickups and even scratching cars and trucks with knives, if you don't give them money.
I know that there are some good people out there, but there are a lot of bad ones too. There are some that were appreciative of the baby formula (breastfeeders - please don't jump on me here) and diapers and coloring books that we were handing out - and some that were bitching about the brand of diapers, the fact that we were only authorized to give out one can of formula per child and that we didn't have a certain kind of bottles. I even had people that refused to take gift cards from Grocery Stores - wanting money instead.
Last night, one of the evacuees was able to score some alcohol somewhere, got drunk and carjacked a car and ran into several parked cars - the police were able to pull him over after a 15 minute chase.
And I can't get over the smell of raw sewage in the area of town that most of the evacuees are housed. The plumbing in the toilets are working just fine - but they aren't using it. They are trashing the place.
I can't imagine what it must be like for them, having nothing but the clothes on their backs - but I think I would be more appreciative of whatever someone could do for me, instead of griping about what kind of bottles they were giving me to feed my kids with, and that the MRE's were cold.
I really have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I feel sorry for the people who couldn't leave, and got stuck in the chaos. I don't have as much sympathy for the ones who could have left, but didn't want to.
I am sure I sound like a cold, callous, b****, but I was absolutely amazed at the attitude of most of the evacuees that I was in contact with on Saturday.
I had my post under the wrong one. I meant it for the other one just above yours where sm
they said they are paid on production. I saw yours and I did understand yours, but somehow I guess while I was reading it, I responded to the other one.
Sorry about that! I too made much more per hour as an MT even if I made $25 as QA, but I am vehemently opposed to QA being paid per line.
Post was meant to be helpful
so why do you want to turn it into something ugly?
It sounds like you have not had very good luck lately, but by the tone of your post, you sound like a very scary person. Brush-up on your people skills and maybe your luck will get better.
meant SM, there is a message in post above.

That's exactly what I meant - then whole post got crazy

They meant in OPs post. We don't know what kind
So people shouldn't assume anything is anti-Christian about the question.
Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
I wrote the post and I am not offended, I took it how you meant it.
and like I said.... I love warm milk, drink it almost every night.
The post was meant for Professional MT newbies
We agree and thank you for your comment. It really was not necessary and somewhat unprofessional in my opinion. It certainly does not further the cause of professional MT operators/Entrepenurs.
Someone once said "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions..."

I meant it in a good way, and I will not turn this into a huge ugly post.
I am not a "paranoid mass of jelly", for Heaven's sakes! But I have lived thru having neighbor children try to poison my puppies over our fence in similar circumstances - not identical, but similar. These same kids used to stuff picked flowers in my mailbox, and I never knew how to take it. I just asked that she be extra cautious. Obviously you ladies have been blessed with not being confronted in life with strange "encounters" like this - I have, and have tried to learn from it. There used to be no more trusting person than myself. I have learned, though, to be cautious in situations like this - not paranoid, just cautious. Wisdom, some would call it? For what its worth, my sister is a psychiatrist, and she thought the flowers creepy as well, but in a different analytical light - with her mother's and sibling(s) death of late, and her expressing that she wanted the puppy killed, to my sister, she said they could be symbolic of flowers on a grave. Not paranoid - she's nearly 60 years old and deals with school-aged kids on a daily basis. Her "job", so to speak. Again, probably a 100% innocent gesture, but to those of us who have had encounters with the "children from H*ll", it could be eery. My post was meant out of genuine concern for Puppy Mom!
I meant to answer your post earlier, but I've been trying to catch up on
housework before school starts. I cannot WAIT for school to start. I'm so tired of the kids' bickering and attitudes this summer. They've taken to ignoring me whenever I ask them to do anything. I threaten them with grounding, loss of privileges, or slave duty. Then they bicker about who did more chores or who made the mess to begin with. Instead of cleaning up after them, I leave it sit until their Dad gets home. If they don't want to listen to me, they'll darn well listen to him.
They are usually really good kids. I think it's mostly cabin fever because a lot of their friends went on vacation or stayed with their biological Dads for the summer. The kids are so bored. I'm just so tired of it every summer. I have all these grand plans for finishing work early and doing something fun each day, but I get the same garbage every year. Too many kids over here, too many interruptions, too much bickering, too much mess.
Let me tell you, I'm celebrating on the first day of school. I'm going to the coffee shop and buying a big mocha latte. Then I'm going to sit there all by myself and read a book. On the way home, I'm grabbing lunch for myself and watching a chick flick by myself. No McDonalds either.
The post wasn't meant to be posted forever. Most visitors know by now.

maybe you need to stop enabling her
If she is an adult daughter, and she knows what her diagnosis is and has been adequately educated about it, yet refuses to see a mental health professional, perhaps you should step back and say, it is your responsibility to manage your own health. If she feels she needs to see doctors, she needs to get her own job with insurance or get on disability. If she feels she doesn't need to be managed with a psychiatrist's help you should encourage her to see then she needs to be the one to deal with the consequences. Ignore her manic outbursts and/or set limits.
There are plenty of people with manic disorders who choose to carefully manage their condition. The condition itself is not an excuse for not managing it. hope this helps
What is your background enabling
How many years of experience do you have? What school did you attend? Your post comes off sort of "above all". QA is just that in my opinion. If not for the blanks, you wouldn't have a job lady.
Compassion often is term for enabling. Often a

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, no one would accuse you of enabling.

when you "take care of his kids" to try to keep them away, you are enabling him to escape
consequences for his actions. Alcoholics only stop drinking when the pain outweighs the pay off. Here is what you can do for yourself: Go to Al-Anon. The only requirement for membership is a drinking problem in a relative or friend. The counselor for your BIL, if he is worth his salt at all, will recommend the family go to Al-Anon. The family. That's you.

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...
I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies. Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...
We have one cherrypicker on the account. Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course. She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad.
But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time. I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.
What would you all do? I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account. In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.
My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....
Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.

what mean post made you post your post
 Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Not what I meant . .
If the person doesn't get the item for some reason, I have always refunded. I think people who are scamming are people who take it and run. I have always refunded.
I think you meant
some positive things. I agree with you, but sometimes people just need to vent and this is a good place to do it.
Have a great Friday everyone.
I meant put not up .
No, that is what I meant. thanks

Oh okay, thanks. You meant the *best* was over.
