Need ideas for vegetarian snacks for New Year's Eve. Having a guest over who is vegetarian.

Code Runner
Anyone know what this is?
Same Here - Road Runner
I'm in Upstate NY, Syracuse area and I haven't had any problems with mine either.
Pat/Awaiting Road Runner
I hope you get it soon! I used to dial up, all kind of problems, slow, slow. Then switched to RR and for over a year now, NADA a problem at all, zilch...it is always here..you will enjoy it
No, it looks like multilevel which is a close runner to it. nm

vegetarian idea
If you use eggs, a wonderful egg foo yung can be made with all that zucchini in your garden. Just shred, drain, toss in a little cornstarch and soy sauce = add some beaten eggs and fry in patties. Make a quick gravy using chicken base, water and soy sauce thickened with a little cornstarch. Serve patties over rice with a little gravy. My family loves this and we are not even vegetarians!
Road Runner lately in Upstate NY has been slow. U R not alone.
first was no meat, then vegetarian, now trying vegan...
although, I am not obsessive about it all...
no animal has to suffer for me.
I do have to cook meat for my boyfriend, but as I said I am not a fanatic. I try to buy local meat and use chickens (and eggs) that are not from electric cages, or that have not been fed steroids, antibiotics, etc.
Vegan versus vegetarian
Someone told me that vegans do not eat any animal products including eggs or dairy but that vegetarians will. Who knows.
Ideas for vegetarian snacks
Bean dips. Paul Newman has them in jars, usually in the salsa section. Also, guacamole, and have nuts available. Cheeses, of course, if they eat dairy.
Bruschetta, one variation of which is thinly sliced tomato on slice of garlic bread, topped with sprinkle of basil and thin mozzarella. Broil til cheese melts and heated through..
Hummus, a garbanzo bean spread, you can usually buy at the deli counter. With crackers or small slices of bread.
Three months ago I switched to Road Runner voice over IP.
I'm very happy with it. I'm on the phone for hours and haven't had any problems with them as of yet. We'll see what the future brings.

Will last forever, body will fall off before the engine ever quits.
I'm a vegetarian so not buying meat saves,
but also, the more *fixed* food is, the more expensive it is - for example, if I want soup, I buy the ingredients and make it myself, plus it tastes better and isn't loaded with garbage I don't need like salt and fat.
I don't buy extras - candles have been out for a long time - I have a few in case of power failure, but nothing fancy. I don't have a cell phone, or anything other than basic TV. I buy clothes at thrift stores (which is actually a lot of fun), and I never hang out at malls - impulse buying is out.
Get an extra plastic bottle and pour half your shampoo into it, then fill with water. Most people use way too much shampoo, conditioner, etc - dilute w/water - does the same job and lasts way longer.
If you will search around the web with Google, you can come up with hundreds of ways to save money - most of us buy stuff we don't need simply because we are lazy or we think our every desire needs to be gratified.
It's mostly just excess baggage; it is amazing how good it feels to not need *stuff* to feel good.
the potpourri idea is fabulous!!, plus don't forget the wonderful scent of herbs you can grow yourself to mix with the cinnamon, etc.
Good luck and have fun!
I'd be a great vegetarian but I hate vegetables!
The thought of eating meat is awful, but it's the only thing I like so I have to unless I want to live on Cheerios and ice cream sandwiches.
Vegetarian chili from the freezer, salad, garlic bagel chips. nm

Daughter is vegetarian. I cook a turkey and she hits the side dishes. (sm)
We do pretty well with this. I just make sure I have some of her favorites so she still feels like she is having a feast.
I saw a picture someone made of a "turkey" they had formed out of raw veggies. I think the basic form was one of those rounded shaped loaves of bread and the veggies were on toothpicks. the head and some tail feathers were made from construction paper. It seemed like an entertaining idea especially if you had small children around.

Looks fine to me.

That's fine, but...
statistically children do better and live in less poverty within a married committed relationship. It's no guarantee, but statistically chances are better if you create the proper nest beforehand. Kids deserve that stability, not a scary violent father who isn't committed to their mother. I'm not condemning you, just pointing out that there are better choices to be made. And I do know that my 17yo may up and do something stupid herself. Therefore by the grace of God go I.
I just tried, got in just fine. nm
Just fine, thanks
Always has been, always will be.
Which is fine, but they need to PAY someone for that. (nt)
I think it would be fine to say...
send monday to charity in lieu of gifts. I wouldn't give money to a couple who specifically requested it though. A wedding is a celebration of marriage, not getting money or gifts.
Thanks, I'm fine just...
my thumb itches this morning but that's it. The brown recluse is not the only spider to have violin shape. That's why we went to the ER. On my husbands preliminary look at him at home he saw the violin. But under a microscope, he saw that he did not have the eyes.
No I would not put up with it- now and then of course is fine - sm
I encourage my DH to go out and do things, though he gets upset when I do sort of similar things; mine involve driving 200 miles. I take the kids with me and I basically hang at friends houses for a day or two. He tends to get freaked when we are not home. Me, I'd be thrilled to have 2 days of freedom, but my DH is a freak to say the least. But if he were to go out a couple times (2) a month to a bar setting with friends I would not have an issue with it. But 3 x a week is a bit much, also expensive, and possibly dangerous if he is drinking and driving. If it bothered your friend you'd know, but since she has not brought it up she must be okay with it. Who knows maybe he is a real jerk at home and she is happy he is out 3 night a week, who knows. I would not worry about it, as you said it is not your business.
looks fine to me
"aggressively" treatment would be incorrect !
No. It's been fine for me.
Thanks! I'm fine...
Both legs were swollen. I just couldn't tell the left one was. It went up into my groin too. Apparently, I have pedal edema, a UTI and was a little dehydrated. So, no clot or anything. My legs were feeling tight and weird from the swelling I guess.
I guess better safe than sorry, huh?!
MQ is just fine now. sm
There is no need for panic. We are also getting paid downtime for the time the system was down. People aren't leaving Medquist because of this, at least I'm not. In my opinion, Medquist is still the best!
I have before and it was fine (nm)

It's fine!
There is no problem transcribing lectures that they have recorded or in typing or transcribing reports. As long as you are not actually providing the intellectual content, it's fine. In the days before computers, typing papers was an excellent way to earn money.
A lot of schools have writing clinics that help students with reports and assignments. They advise on writing style, grammar, etc. If they can do it, so can you. :)
You will be fine
There is really no "certification" that people look for in our industry. There is a CMT or RMT certification that you can pay lots of money to a group called AHDI (Association of Healthcare Documention, Inc - who USED to be calle the AMERICAN Association of Medical Transcription (AAMT). This group was originally formed to further the cause of MTs in America, but it has deteriorated to something unrecognizable and corrupt. Notice that they took any mention of the word "American" out of their name and also "MT" All they want is your money and will do nothing for you. You DO NOT need either an RMT nor a CMT to work in this business.
You have experience under your belt now, which is the main thing companies look for, not the credentials. I don't think you will have trouble finding another position. If you can't get hired on with any of the MTSOs right now, try getting your own accounts. I did this for years and it was very lucrative. Not much rest, but I had lots of work. That will give you more experience under your belt.
You are not foolish, my dear, you just fell for an old "scam" and I know exactly who you mean. They are the ones who should be ashamed - not you.
Good luck to you. :-)
you'll do fine
but yes, with anything there is the learning curve where your paycheck generally suffers a little. I love it tho. Hope i never have to learn another system. The expander part is quick and easy. I would not recommend trying to learn their preset shortcuts, just make your own. i developed my own quicker than remembering theirs; it is quick and easy to look them up if you foget 'em too.
aside from my above post, MQ Mon is fine!
no one bothers me, I always have work, albeit I am on DQS, as mentioned before, but other than that, I don't have any problems w/the office. Been with them for over four years! Good Luck! 
It sounds fine to me.
The only thing I would do is get rid of the "she" in the "and she is out" part of it.
I use wireless and it is fine. (sm)
I don't think it is quite as fast as DSL, but it is definitely adequate.
As the poster below said, you have to be clear of trees to get a signal.
got the no-line...they were fine
then got the Acuvue bifocal contacts and I LOVE wearing them!
That would be all fine and dandy...
however, these days companies want that kind of expertise all for the honor of earning about 6 cents a line. That's the problem with this job... Whether you are fresh out of school or your butt looks like the seat of your computer share from sitting in it for the last 20 years, you get paid the same. Not always, but increasingly so.
Another fine cherrypicking day.
Man, would I love to go on all day about this company and the cherrypickers here. This is totally 100% unbelievable that they let people do this every single day. 
fine line...
because he is your brother-in-law. then again, business is business. i probably wont go lower than 10 cpl. hope thats not being greedy either :)
"orthopedics" is just fine. nm

Your ad looks fine. Best of luck to you! nm
Lil
You'll be fine.....sm
It is a bit cooler today than it has been lately. We were at 80 yesterday. Today, 74. I think it will be fine to lay out, but I don't know about going into the water. lol :)
I think you are handling it fine - see msg
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can relate to your grieving and missing someone who has died. I lost my best friend that I had since sixth grade last January and my father-in-law last March and I still miss both of them terribly. I was still grieving over my friend when my father-in-law died, which made it almost worse in a way. There is no set grieving schedule, per se. I still cry over my lost loved ones. I still want to call my friend and I have to stop myself. It sounds like you are functioning normally in your daily life, with only intermittent times of grief, which I think is totally normal. If your grieving was getting in the way of your normal daily activities, then I would worry, but that does not seem to be the case. The pain never goes away, but it lessens somewhat with time. It's been a year for me and I still cry when something reminds me of them, but the crying jags are getting further apart, so there has been some healing. I don't know if you are a religious person, but prayer helped me through my toughest times. I know that I felt better afterwards and I knew that they were fine where they were and that they were happy. Keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about the time factor. We all grieve in our own way and on our own time schedule.
If you have excellent QA to help - you will be fine.
Meaning - transcribe the reports, leave blanks of anything you are unsure of, and with great QA feedback, you will learn in no time.
You can do it - don't be afraid.
On the other hand, if you do not have a great QA department to help you with your blanks and accuracy of your reports, I would say stay with the what you know for now.
You can learn it. Maybe you can just do a 5 or 10 reports a day along with your clinic work to start with or without great QA help.
Good luck to you!
On the job training is fine
You can achieve the goal of MT with on the job training. I started out at a state hospital in NY and was trained working in the clinic as the transcriptionist. On my own, I went to night college but the training I received on the job was excellent The last hospital I worked at in-house, we had a training program and once a year we would hire a newbie and I would train the person and edit their work. If you live in California, I would check out Chronicle Transcripts as they hire newbies and train them. Pay-wise, you can make quite a bit of money and also practically nothing. Depends what company/hospital you work for and what part of the country. Good luck.
I have Vonage and fax just fine
Not sure about e-fax though, as I don't use that. I just do regular faxes with the fax machine hooked up to my Vonage VoIP box and they always go just fine.
that's fine - I don't care about the $$....sm
whether it be 9/7.2 or 11/9.....doesn't matter, but you did the 20% math for the posters who didn't believe - so thanks again!!!! 
google is fine for me too..nm
nm
That is a fine rate, but I would
ask how you are connecting to Meditech. Meditech is a huge database, and unless you have experience with it already, then you wouldn't know that it is a very slow, dragging system. It is not Transcriptionist friendly. There is no medical spellcheck. Apparently there are two versions of Meditech in which one is word-based, but the experience I've had with Meditech has been horrible. You won't get much done because you will spend too much time waiting for your typing to catch up. JMO. I would steer away from Meditech.
