In Reply to: If you aren't interested, don't open this. - This is from Jodi
let him call it the projects......when I left mine, my thought was *living in the gutter is better than living with him*....and I saved myself and my daughter (our daughter) and became my own Hero - so KUDOS to you, lady!!!! My prayers are with you....but sounds like you're doing fine and remaining strong. What you said about what would be self-destructive to you at this point was right on target, sounds like...... so may I applaud your strengths?!?!?!?!

Jodi
just keep on hanging in there! There may be rough waters ahead but you can and will make it! It's been 10 yrs for me now and I can not say it was easy but it was so empowering to have peace in my life for myself and my children. They are doing so much better without the evil in their lives
Jodi
Hooray! Wonderful news. Will keep you and kids in my prayers.
Jodi, where are you?
Hey Jodi, we haven't heard from you since the weekend. We are worried. Is everything okay?
Hey Jodi
Glad to hear you are doing well. I am sorry to hear you got caught by someone on the board who should have kept their venom to themselves. You know what they say though, there really is at least one in every crowd. Haven’t heard from mine since Saturday, but I took great delight in informing him that I had changed my phone number and that he did not need the new one. Seems he will be getting a dose of reality in the very near future, I checked the bank account earlier and he had already written over $800 in checks, but only put $300 in, so at that rate it won’t be too long before they start bouncing. Oh well, as long as he’s happy right? A couple of close friends and I are planning a girls night out for the weekend, we are all in various stages of divorce, but one of them is having a particularly hard time with hers, so we thought it might be good to get out for awhile. I know you have kids, but is there anyone that could watch them, even for a couple of hours, when you’re ready, so you can get out with friends (or even just by yourself for that matter) and have some time to yourself? Got to get back to work now, but do check in and let us know how things are going for you, and don’t let the trolls get to you, take them for what they are, hateful and bitter, with nothing better to do with their time but try to make everyone else as unhappy as they are.
Yea! You rock, Jodi
All of these posts are SO encouraging. I would never recognize you as "bawling my eyes out" - you took the plunge and I can virtually see you getting stronger every day!! I am so happy that you found your power. I just wish you could move closer to your family. But your MT community "family" is always here for you.
We are so proud of you!!
That was fast for you Jodi!
My ex kept playing games,scheduled the pick-up over 11 times, each time the police had to be here and set up in advance, so they were not happy at all. Realtor called the judge because the house showing did not do well with a 2 car garage packed with all his junk.
Judge finally "ordered" him to show up on a date SHE chose and if he did not, then his stuff (including his furniture) would be picked up by a local battered womens shelter and the Salvation Army!
7 months post exist he showed up with some help but the cops who had previously sat around waiting for him also showed up off an on (besides the 2 there to protect me) and did some subtle irritating
Keep reaching for that star Jodi, it will all work out for you. You've taken the most important step in gaining control of YOUR life again and freedom with security is sweet!
Jodi, a lot of mean people come on here...
Please don't let that keep you from talking to the people who genuinely care about you and are praying for you and your kids. Ignore the trolls. Some people are just mean for no reason. They are not very happy people and don't want to see anyone do well. You know there are an awful lot of us who DO care about and wish you only the best. Please let us know that you are okay at least. You are still in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Not attacking Jodi, just you!
You asked the question about your husband's condition. You did nothing once you got advice. You came back and asked a second time if it was something you could wait out. You asked this to a MT board who are not doctors. You got several responses about how you should take him to a doctor. You were upset because people were telling you to take him to the ER and you didn't have the money or whatever. You came back and called people crazy for telling you to take him to the doctor and left a mad face at the end! That is the way I see it, tell me if I am wrong, but that seemed kinda crazy of YOU!
Hooray for Jodi!! You are SO MUCH STRONGER
...than you were last week. I am SO happy to see that. I am glad that you came here for our support. I wrote you a nice long e-mail in your original chain and was so worried about you. I see with each additional posting that you are growing stronger and stronger!!!! I sure like to think it was all the support we gave you here. You deserve so much better than what was happening to you. I am so happy for you!!
"I am woman...hear me ROAR!" You rock, Jodi! Please keep us updated, okay. You know you are in a lot of prayers. ((((hugs))))
a little word of warning on his stuff Jodi
Knowing me ex for the 25 year pre-exit, I had cataloged every little thing and put a copy in his stuff.
Sure enough, in court his lawyer tried to say that I had not given him everything, kept a lot of his expensive tools, etc!
It is he says/she says but just stick to your guns and tell the truth that he did take it all.
Hey Jodi!! Glad you posted! I am praying
for you and proud of you. You are right on track about not moving to be closer to him. And if he tries to argue, always remember to use the reasoning that its the KIDS who are first - its not you versus him. So, the kids should not move closer to him, but rather the other way around!! He has to be sure everything he does is for THEM not him. Though he'll argue that they need to see their daddy - thus why they should move - its psycho warfare, and HE needs to accommodate them. Period! Someday you will look back on this period of your life and hopefully laugh, or at least smile and see what a great decision it was and how worth it for the kids AND you!
Jodi, you feel free to post whenever you want to and if you see something
ugly posted, you just email me directly and I'll deal with it. I am intolerant of people being mean on this site. I can be reached at admin@mtstars.com.
On an episode of Dr. Phil I saw just the other day, he said that children have a hard enough time living outside of a broken home, but should never have to live INSIDE of a broken home. Wise words, in my opinion. I, personally, think you did the right thing and as long as you are taking care of your children and have a decent roof over their heads, he really can't do much. Like you said, if he wants to partake in your children's upbringing then he can come to see them. Unless you moved closer to your parents or siblings then you should probably sit tight where you are since you have a home church and people there who you can talk to. Also, there are very caring people who post here regularly, so please don't give up on this site just because of a bad apple.

Jodi Lebodi ... did you ever find anything about the Smash diet? sm
I thought it was the same as the Take Control Diet book Dr. Smith had out, but apparently no ... a totally new book is coming out.
I'm tired of waiting ... dug out an old copy of the Scarsdale Diet ... look out Chastity and Kelly ... I may beat you! lol
Tonight ... it says Jeff checks into rehab ... good thing ... poor guy.
i'll pray for you.
where?? pray tell is that?

Then why, pray tell, are you
here today?
Then, pray tell, what will? nm.
nm.
Aww. I am so truly sorry. Yes, I will definitely pray for her
and her precious family. I will also pray for your strength to get through this most difficult time. Let us know how she does.
With you, with them, with God. Please pray! nm.
nm
so sorry, I will pray for your dad...nm
nm
I will certainly pray for him.
My mother had a blood clot so I know how seriuos they can be. The good news is he's in the hospital getting treatment and they're right on top of it.
Why don't we all pray...
that someone realizes how overworked and underpaid we are? Nobody cares, not even God.
I pray that
more health records will be kept in our own country from now on.
That is wonderful. I pray that you are
very richly blessed in return. Merry Christmas to you!!!
I'll pray for you
nm
Uh, I'll pray for you, but please go see a doc
Didn't want you to think I was saying prayer is all you need. LOL Helpful, but not all. :-)
I PRAY that you NEVER transcribe my
Your attitude is scary! You think we don't need knowledge or skills and are just "hamsters on a wheel?" Believe me, I QA work for people with your attitude and it shows. I pray to God that someone who thinks like YOU, never, ever touches my medical records!!!! Maybe you should look for a different career option.
I'll pray for you

Bindi said that one day she would run the zoo. I pray
that she will grow up and do exactly that along with her little brother. Rest in peace, Steve-O!
pray tell, where is this company
please tell
Pray tell, what exactly is coding?
Not to sound like a dunce but what is coding? I know that a coder takes reports and pulls ICD codes, etc and does something with them, but what precisely? How does coding work? In transcription, I use a program to play the audio file, controlled with the foot pedal, while I type it in Word. I've been curious about coding but cannot find out exactly what it entails. I love transcribing but let's be realistic, it is looking scary out there. Love the company I am with but what with VRE, EMR and India looming, I am thinking now would be the time to train for something else just in case.
Thanks for any information.
Hc
So where, pray tell, do you work??
And is there a positive, realistic place for newbies to get a foot in the door and get started? Everybody says 2-5 years experience. That's great, but how do folks get the experience if they never get started?
What pray tell is an "MTME" ? I work for them
Pray for these poor people.
Up to 20 Dead in Fire Aboard Evacuees' Bus
By SHEILA FLYNN, Associated Press Writer
Friday, September 23, 2005
(09-23) 06:01 PDT Wilmer, Texas (AP) --
A bus carrying elderly evacuees from Hurricane Rita caught fire early Friday on a gridlocked highway near Dallas, killing as many as 20 people, authorities said.
"Deputies were unable to get everyone off the bus," spokesman Don Peritz said. "We believe it's going to be closer to 20 fatalities.
The bus, carrying about 45 people, was engulfed with flames, causing a 17-mile backup on Interstate 45, already heavily congested with evacuees from the Gulf Coast. The bus was reduced to a blackened, burned-out shell, surrounded by numerous police cars and ambulances.
There were indications that oxygen used by elderly evacuees could have had a role in the fire, Peritz said. There were a series of explosions, apparently from the oxygen equipment, he said.
"The early indications are this is a mechanical issue. The driver did survive the accident," Peritz said. "It's my understanding he went back on the bus several times to try to evacuate people."
Interstate 45 stretches more than 250 miles from Galveston through Houston to Dallas. The crash site is roughly 17 miles southeast of downtown Dallas.

Think and pray long and hard.
I am in independently contracted MT for a private practice. I work part-time as I am a mommy of 4 and homeschool them. This is my only experience, but it has been rough. There is absolutely no understanding of the fact that just because I am at home doesn't mean I am at my computer 24/7 at their beck and call. I set my own hours, which may or may not be during their business hours, but that doesn't mean anything. They even have begged me for my cell phone number so they could get me when not at home. It has been very hard on me and my family. I am ready to quit, but need the $. I agree with working for others. I like working for myself, but since I am self-employed, there are no benefits, no paid vacations, etc. If I am out sick, I don't get paid and there is no one to cover for me, so when things get backed up, I have to make it up. Also, when I go on vacation, I get punished beforehand with a pile of work given to me so that I have to work extra hrs before I go and there is a pile when I get back. Why bother taking a vacation!?! Think and pray long and hard about getting your own accounts. Set a schedule and stick to your guns and don't let them push you around. Blessings!
And hope & pray the recruiters don't know each other :) - (sm)
Remember, the MT world is a small community, especially the MTSO world. If your prospective recruiter/employer finds out about your "omission," you will not get the job automatically. But you have to do what you have to do.
I already do pray. But why not spirits? Animals are more sensitive, you know
nm
Pray for your company to whatever power you revere. nm

Pray tell, what is a "job lady?" Where can I find one of those?

one of my biggest fears...will pray for you sister!
;)
I pray that Mrs. Twitty gets off the TV, washes the makeup off and goes out looking for her daughter
instead of playing private detective and second-guessing the people who are actually doing something. She is a nut case. Maybe Natalee is missing on purpose based on what I have seen of her mother, the DIVA. Mrs. Twitty, you are acting nit-witty and I pray you go about the business of grieving for your daughter instead of the roles you have chosen to play for the past few weeks as judge and jury of how a country should run an investigation into your daughter's disappearance.
Please tell your husband and family thank you for your sacrifices to help keep us safe! Will pray
for his safe return soon!
For those that now the power of prayer, please pray for a friend whose 4-year-old son is in the sm
hospital with bleeding on the brain. She is employed in the MT field and really needs our support right now. TIA.
Thanks for the replies. He is looking forward to the Tacos in Mexico! He is a great kid. Will Pray!
