Thank you for letting my post stay up because today was just a really bad day, and I need to tell you that just reading what everyone had to say helped very, very much.  I want to thank every one of you who has replied so far because every single one of you has really helped me get through this day, and given me thoughts to keep with me as I get through each day.  Laura, I don't think that you're cold-hearted.  I think it's like others have said, too - we do all grieve differently.  I don't know why today has been such a bad one, but I am taking a lot of strength away from what you all have written, and I think I know more now that these "waves" that come over me are normal.  I know that there is help out there...possibly medication for a time, grief counseling.  I'll be seeing my FNP in a few weeks, and I'll bring some of these issues up when I'm there.

I just wanted to say thank you again for sharing your own memories and experiences with me, and just for showing thoughtfulness and caring.  You've really carried me through a bad day and have made me feel...I guess not so much like I'm going off the deep end.

I forgot NOT to mention a company....here's a repost....sorry...

I have been an MTSO for 9 years and an SE for almost 6.  I have never been audited but I keep everything, all receipts, all invoicing, absolutely everything, just in case.  The people I SE for take out taxes, which is a GREAT thing for me, and so I only pay taxes outright in April on my private accounts.  In Florida, it's known as a sole proprietorship, where you can be the employer and the employee, and I think only THREE states allow this (but I'm not sure about that part-the latter 3 states).  I hope never to get audited but it is in such great order and I can prove absolutely everything.

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.

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.

We have contacted you via email asking for your mailing address. If you have not received an email but see this message, please email so we can get your turkey to you in time for Turkey Day!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

or AMA, whatever you choose. I've been seeing ads for QA personnel and they don't have to have been MTs. I don't get that.

As I've said before here, I work for an MTSO who believes if you have to have QA personnel, you've hired the wrong MTs. I tend to agree with her.

We get up in the morning, do our work and send it in. If there's something we don't understand, we put a note on the log for the doctor or the hospital - because we're all experienced enough that we either know what we're hearing or know how to find it.
