Add Phoenix, Arizona to the list taking in refugees

I'm in the metro Phoenix area and we were in the mid 20s last night. That's cold for us!!...
I had to cover my frost sensitive plants with sheets.
Uh YEAH, I do...because I live in south Arizona and WATCH THEM!
p
That's an EXPENSIVE area to live in....
I would think you could make a LOT more, based on the area you live in and your work experience!
I live in remote area - no cable or DSL

and Clearwire is also not available.  I have the satellite service. It is expensive - you have to purchase the equipment and pay for the installation ($600 and up). The service is expensive too ($65).  The speed is not quite as fast as DSL, but I download and upload jobs with no problem.  Some MTSOs won't allow satellite service, citing security issues, which is dumb.  It's like any other wireless service - you have to make sure your signal is secure, which you do through your computer (not the service itself).  Even this is ridiculous in remote areas for 2 reasons: 1) I really don't think anyone is going to bother camping out on my land or drive down my mile-long driveway with their laptop just to see if they can pick up a signal and 2) even if they did, they can only gain access to the internet itself - they can't see what you are doing online.  So this security issue thing is baloney!  Also, in 2004 when we were hit by Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Jeanne, there was no phone or cable service for nearly a month, but I was still able to work by just using our generator for my computer until the electric came back on - those that had dialup, DSL or cable were outta luck.


Does anyone live in the Denver, Colorado, area? sm

I may possibly be moving there.  What can you tell me about it?  The school systems do not matter as we no longer have children at home.  What areas are nice to live in?  I read that when it snows it usually melts the same day....is that true?


Any information from someone who lives there or has lived there would be much appreciated.


TIA


I am taking it that you live in my area..and people just don't get it here..
I know this is going to probably upset a lot of people on here, but at this point I have to take up for doxie. I believe she must live in the same area as me, and it is very, very rural..a place where you can barely make enough to survive.

Doxie, I have been an IC for many, many years and love working this way. If you would like to talk about it, please feel free to get in touch with me. I understand what it is like to have to live here and make a decent wage...and I can even tell you how to go about being an IC..which is what your original question was. :)
I live in the San Francisco area. I can't even stand it

Any idea where to buy them or how much they might be? I live in a smaller area w/not so many 'bi
nm
RACCOONS got mine, and I live in an apt. in an urban area!
(Little buggers left their pawprints all over my front door, too!) :(
Yep, I agree 100%. I live in such a rural area, though, that my neighbors, the natives, think I'm
NUTS cause I keep my dogs in the house, and actually still walk them on a leash in my yard.  We all have about 2 - 5 acres minimum each of woods in our neighborhood, and no real dog laws at all! Dogs run at large 24/7, which is no picnic for me with my dogs on leash, either!  And they ALL keep them outdoors, tied up with the chain and the smelly old dog house.  I think they just look at dogs strictly as deterents? Not sure really, come to think of it! Cause even if they were getting robbed, Fido couldn't get off the 6 foot chain! Oh well!  I used to be sad all the time for the plot of the dogs here, but I can't save them all! Only my guys!
You must live in a metro area because rural areas pay even less per hour.

Of course you can buy a big house for 130,000 in a smaller town and the same amount won't buy you a pot to pee in, in a place like San Diego or the D.C. area.  It's all relative.


Are you plannin to move closer to your family and away from the area where you live now?

Right now, everything is rockin along ok, but he may turn quite ugly because he isn't getting his way and you need to protect yourself and your children.  Have you changed the locks on your house? Are there other ways he can get into the house and if so, you should take care of that immediately.  Have you had the locks changed on your vehicle.  If not, you need to also do that immediately.  Does the school have the papers so that he can't walk in and take your children out of school or pick them up after school? 


Believe me, I am glad you made the decision that you did, but I want you to know that I see on TV all too often, disgruntled husbands that come back and get revenge.  I don't mean to scare you, rather to let you know that because I went through a similar situation, you cannot take this lightheartedly.  If you can move away, far away from him and be close to your family, do it. 


What would it take for you to be able to move back where you family lives?


Broken down once, never again.


I live in the Kansas City area and this summer we have had a rash of pit bull attacks especially

in the Independence, MO area.  The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.


Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog.  Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.


I'm so sorry about your lab.


I live in a small rural area and they housed some evacuees at a nearby military base
crime went UP in our little community that previously HAD a ~very low~ crime rate. It is a FACT. I'm not saying all NO residents are like that, but MANY seem to be.

My mom was raised in conditions like this poster describes. Mom's parents died when she was 7 (father) and 9 (mother). Her teenage sister (newlywed) raised her and 4 other siblings. They had next to nothing. Not ONE of them turned to a life of crime. Not ONE even graduated high school but they still made good lives for themselves. Life was rough for them, but they didn't blame it on everyone else and cry around about what the president should be doing for them. It is all about RESPONSIBILITY and taking what life throws your way. IMO.

This is how it is in Arizona
Welcome to an Arizona summer-- the electric meter spins itself off the pole and the utility companies dance with glee.  My AC went out a week ago (naturally on the weekend) and it was over 90 degrees in the house with the swamp cooler going full blast.  Come on, move to Arizona everybody----.  The Chamber of Commerce doesn't tell you about THIS part!
Don't come to Arizona
It is the same here-- and all the Calif. people ARE moving here-- making it that much worse. I want to get out of here, too.
YES IN ARIZONA
Yes
Would that be the one in Phoenix? nm

Phoenix
They don't pay for spaces. I've tried explaining to my thumbs why the work they do has no value in certain environments, but they refuse to understand & in general continue to prevent me from applying to a company that I've otherwise heard pretty good things about. If your thumbs are happy working for nothing, I'd say go for it.



Phoenix
I would recommend ANY company to work for - except Phoenix. Their website is bogus - nobody makes $25 an hour. They'll toss you a book to hook up your computer - and when you're having questions - you'll get an attitude when you ask for help. Horrible, horrible!
Phoenix

I have been with Phoenix MedCom for 1 year now and they are a great company. I work on an internet account that does not pay for spaces.  We have a new platform with another account and this does pay for spaces.  I tried both platforms and it works out to exact amount of pay, 10 cents without spaces and 8 cents with spaces.  DG


Arizona fires
You all have probably seen the horrible Arizona fires on TV.  I can see the smoke and flames from my house-- and could be in its path if the wind changes.  There is a meeting at the high school tonight regarding fire info.  Even though I am SO tired of doing transcription, I would much rather be home doing it than attending a fire meeting--.

Phoenix MedCom
I have been with this company as an IC since they started over 5 years ago and before that I worked with these same owners at another company which was bought out by Medquist for over 6 years. Phoenix Medcom is a great place if you are loking for an IC position.

University of Phoenix
I did some checking several years ago and I found from my research that University of Phoenix was the one with the most prestige as far as on-line degrees.  You have to be careful, because some of the places offering these are not worth the paper they are printed on, to an employer.  But, I found that UOP actually is the *best* of the on-line universities.  I didn't enroll, but I seriously considered it.  It is extremely expensive and I've heard from someone I know who was a student with UOP, that it is challenging (she worked a full-time job in addition to her classes), but she really loved it.  Unfortunately, I've lost touch with her now and I have no idea if she ever finished and got her degree.
Re: University of Phoenix
To the woman whose husband is a student there: Racism is corrosive. It will ruin your heart and your soul. Please look into your heart and see what is behind all of this hatred. Hate is never the answer.
Phoenix Medcom

I haven't ever heard of this company before but they had a posting in the job bank.  I'm wondering if they are worth my time applying for.  I have a job, just looking for extra to do.  Anyone's experience would be appreciated.  Thx!


University of Phoenix!!! LOL
Duh- yeah!
Phoenix MedCom
The co is Phoenix MedCom

A $300+ bill is typical for us in Arizona. sm

We use the payment plan so our bill is the same every month. They average all 12 months and come up with a month payment.  Our winter bills usually would be as low as $70 if we weren't on the payment plan.


Can't live here without AC - no way, no how.


PHOENIX MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION

PHOENIX medical transcription.  Any information good/bad???


Thanks


I'm referring to Phoenix Medcom
They sent me a lot of info when I inquired & were very specific: they pay per 65-character line, with headers & footers, no spaces.

Just wondering if any of my old classmates come to this board. Thanks
I loved Arizona - I lived in Tucson....sm

see?  I'm telling ya, it's a small world.  I spent nearly 10 years out west in the 1970s.....Tucson for 3 years (worked at Pima College and other places), Santa Fe, and Denver.  Came back to the east coast in 1980!!  In Tucson I also worked for Desert Cycles, a dirt bike store on Speedway!!!  Flagstaff was a tad too cold for me.  *lol*


 


Overwhelmingly, Amphion, Phoenix Medcom & MDI-MD (*not MDI-FL)
Good luck!
Sedona, Arizona is awesome this time of year.

No way. Univ. of Phoenix is considered a joke by employers!
http://uopsucks.com/negletters.html

The best way to obtain an on-line degree is to attend an accredited university that was already well-known for its academic program way before the internet was invented.

Check out University of Massachusetts, Temple University in Philadelphia, University of Minnesota.

The fly-by-nights like U. of Phoenix are the equivalent to the crap that used to advertise "degrees" on the back of matchbook covers and have no credibility in educational and career circles.

Seriously, stick with an accredited, well-known school, not some bogus piece of crap like that.

You get what you pay for.
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion.  lovely trees and lakes all around.  maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall.  but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
Would you walk three blocks in 110 degrees at 3 p.m. in Arizona - no trees, no breeze, no wet SM

except for sweat.  It's brutal. 


Now is 110 and supposed to get hotter.  Yesterday was 113 in the shade

Only 90 degrees? It was 112 in Phoenix yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.
