In Reply to: I bet other insurance carriers have insurance for their employees. Why not Wal-Mart? nm - GIve it to workers, THEN sell it.
And then there's my friend who works for Krogers. Maybe he shouldn't have to pay for groceries. My sister works for Target. She said she didn't get any free clothes or appliances, just 10% off purchase with her employee discount. I think Target should be boycotted because they don't give employees free stuff don't you.

My sister works at McDonalds. sm
She started as your typical fast food employee and worked her way up to management. She makes excellent money and has great perks - went to a seminar this past summer in Las Vegas that was entirely paid for by McDonalds. One of the speakers at the seminar was Bob Greene (Oprah's diet/fitness person if I have the name correct). I also know of someone else who works at Burger King in management that makes an excellent wage. I actually gained more respect for these type of positions when I found out what some were actually making. I do not know anyone personally or what they make at WalMart but have ran into more than on disgruntled employee at the cash register there. Just my opinion but I think the knowledge that comes with being an MT should make you qualified for most types of office positions in medical offices and for any office for that matter. Have you tried that route?
My hubs got one at the music store that he uses while playing guitar. Or maybe a furniture store. Or

I make jewelry too
Looking forward to trying to sell it this Christmas season. Glass beads and gems earrings and necklaces. :)
Has anyone ever sold jewelry?
I want to sell a DeBeers' diamond that will get me out of a tight financial bind. However, an ad in the the newspaper made me think of how easy it would be to knock my over and steal my ring. The jewelry stores said that it would sit on their shelf possibly for a few months. My dog is requiring emergency vet care and it is going to total much money. I know the pawn shop is a possibility. Any ideas? I hate this idea because I know I will not get what it is worth but it is the one thing I have that would bring me hard cold cash. Thanks!
Selling jewelry sm
I have some to sell as well and was wondering about E-Bay. Do you know if you have to pay taxes, file forms, etc., if anyone does buy anything from you on there? Does anyone else have ideas that do not involve getting a business license? I think a tag sale would bring people around who would only want a quarter. I could use some extra cash and the things I have are nice and never worn, not a jewelry person but have made some from fine gems. Been thinking of where to go with it.
I'm with you -- no jewelry while I type, not even a watch. nm

OMG How interesting! What style of jewelry do you make?!
I really find that fascinating!
You should have a website and post your jewelry for orders!
I'd love to see pieces that could be ordered!
how about a men's style jewelry box with maybe yours/his names engraved or pic of you 2 on front.

BFA in Jewelry/Metals, did craft shows here and there but did not make a living -sm
goal though for this Fall or soon that is, is to get my work done by noon, then spend 3 hours at least 2 x a week in my studio which I have not touched in about 6 years.....see if maybe I can get the ball rolling again with that via local shops, studios, etc. Used to have reps that sold my jewelry in Philly which was quite nice.
Sally's? Wow, I would never have guessed. JCPenny carries some at their jewelry counter as well

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Please consider another store, please
Please read about Walmart and how it destroys small town businesses, among other ethical considerations. PLEASE consider shopping elsewhere.
I don't have a store...
I do auctions. I try to be very careful about what I list. I love books and have in the thousands of them, mostly educational material. I have been selling those on half.com for a long time, so my time listed as a member is about 6 years. It has only been in the last couple of months that I really started trying to power sell--everything you can think of--collectibles, books, clothes, my felt sets, shoes, etc. You just have to watch the market and know that what you list will sell (hopefully) so that you don't lose money in fees. I am still learning, but so far I have been very lucky and have made some good sales.

The UPS Store only allows the automatic $100 if you pay
them to package your stuff. I learned that one trying to ship equipment back to my former employer. I wasn't about the shell out even more money for them to box up something that I put back in the company's original box.
as you are leaving the store...nm

I go to Kroger's too, our store here does not do it - sm
though, at least I have never seen it there. Granted most of the time I do the self checkout but when I do go through a regular line I have not encountered it. I really like our Krogers too, I only wish their prices were a bit lower....my husband can easily drop $100-$200 when he goes shopping there.
You can store their reports, but sm
to give them access at their own free will is not the way I would go. Of course, I charge my accounts when I have to search archives. It is a flat rate even if I find the document or not. If I find it, then it is faxed. I have never really heard of letting your client search your files though. In other words, they get a copy of the original report. If they lose it, they get charged again. Right or wrong, I don't know, but that is my method.
Almost any computer store will have them.
I bought a laptop about 5 months ago that has XP, but is Vista compatible. I don't think everything has Vista on it right now because there are still too many problems with it. If you went to any of the big box electronic stores they should have one with XP.
I tell my hubby I have to run to the store,
and he said he would like to see that.....
I've never seen one in a store, certainly not
the chain stores.
Look for a product in the store that...sm
the scout ants will carry back to their nest(?) and eradicate the entire colony. What I used was a product that was a small, enclosed tin thing with a hole in top. It held a poisonous gel. I think there were 3 in a box. Sorry, can't remember the name. Anyway, I never saw ants in the house since using these.
And, the meat in the grocery store comes
I believe that if you buy "beef" it comes from cows, an animal. I believe if you buy "chicken" it comes from chickens, an animal.
I was a cashier in a grocery store and
he came in to buy groceries for his mother. We were both 17 and married 1-1/2 years later, been married for almost 27-1/2 years now.  
have you tried the library (if you still have one) or the grocery store...
like, lingering, you know? I have been approached many times by men like that...
how about friends, does anyone have a set-up for you, even just for some companionship?
how about volunteering for things, like a food pantry or wildlife center.
of coures, goes without saying to be cautious always when out in public these days...
also, laundromats I always see single guys...
anyone else?
Went there for paint. Brand new store. SM
I asked for specific color and the kid behind the counter starting mixing it. It seemed to be taking a long time, Home Depot takes second, all because he had an old fashioned paint machine where you had to manually put in the colors, not computerized like Home Depot. So why didn't I go to Home Depot? Good question.
Thanks fine for a warehouse store where they don't bag.

I would buy before you go, on-line, Disney Store - sm
The ticket lines were long at Disney, as for buying at a resort, I don't know, we have always bought in advance, granted not on this trip (comped by Make a Wish) Call a resort and ask. As for International Drive, if it is the road I think it is (Hwy 192) (we just got back ourselves) be prepared for tons of traffic on that road, ripped up for construction, and traffic lights every 1/4 mile it seemed too. Going to Disney was not a problem, it was driving back that took a bit extra time. Universal was pretty wild though, first time there for us. You will have a blast!
Put notices up at the grocery store,etc.
advertising homemade pies, cakes, breads etc. A lot of the famous and rich people in this type of industry started off this way. I think it isn't that big, at least not in the smaller cities, but we have people that come into your home, plan a menu with you and then cook so many meals a week. There is also a business that just started near me where you go to their store, they have all the makings for 6 different meals and you just put them all together. One place has cooking lessons for kids and also opens to kids cookie parties and he is doing very well. Work with a caterer prn. I live in a city of about 230,000 and we have events that are seasonal where caterers are hiring dozens of people, with June coming up they will be hiring to help with weddings.
I know lots of people with psychology degrees and none of them are working in their field because there just aren't any jobs.
You don't mention a husband or kids, but if you are young and no responsibilities now is the time to go out on the limb.
None of the above would require a huge time commitment or financial commitment and you could test the waters while still having a FT income. If it took off you could scale back your hours, or try and do both for a while and get your debts paid off and then be in a position to jump in with both feet.
Our local community college has a culinary program. I think it is still largely male dominated, but still lots of females too. I don't know if this is a 1 year or 2 year program, though I think it does require a lot of hours. You could do it during the day and work nights/weekends. It wouldn't be easy, but nights/weekends usually pay more.
If you want it bad enough you'll find a way.

Hi
As in your guestbook to include support html?
In our regular grocery store.

My local store always takes them out. s/m
I've never thought to tip them, and I've never seen anyone else tip either.
By the way, I thought all grocery stores carried out the bags for you.
RadioShack has several sizes of these right in the store. nm

Go to a store like Best Buy and Circuit City.
They have several models and you can compare features and play around with them, and also ask questions. One is about as good as the other. Each brand has had lemons. Most all have pretty much the same bells and whistles. It just depends on what you want.
If you are going to use for leisure like downloading music, uploading pictures, are you going to use for work, etc.
I need to store an ink jet printer and keep in case my others die-how do I
go about storing the cartriges so they don't dry out? Can regular adhesive tape be put on the part where the ink shoots out (as they are when new?). Thanks for any ideas.
Foot pedal - does any know of store
My pedal went out on my today, and I was wondering if anyone know of a store (like Office Max or Wal-Mart) that sells these instead of ordering one online and waiting for days for it to come....
Go to the store, get valerian. It is a natural way
to soothe. You may also try St. John's wort. Valerian is fast acting, St. John's takes 2 weeks to kick in. Only problem with valerian, is since it is made with flowers, it has a strong odor. But it will help.
Try to dissociate yourself from your notes. Pay attention to the words and the grammar and edit as you go along instead of paying attention to the stories. As with anything, cognitive therapy helps, but if you go to the library, there are plenty of books on this subject. If you get really anxious, you can take a benadryl now and then, however, this may be sedating, and you can do that if you are finished work for your full shift or until you come back later, so you can rest.
I suggest doing all of these things before addressing such a personal issue with your employer. As a professional, you can solve these things through training your mind, and through healthy remedies. If nothing else, you can always visit a walk-in clinic which is about 70.00 and they can prescribe something but the healthy remedies are just as good and not addictive, IMO. All the best to you! PS: Keep your chin up and thinking positive. You are not the people in the notes. You are you.
I was at the store one day when a family with young kids came out.
The kids were fooling around in the parking lot and chasing each other around. One of the boys, who was approximately 10 years old, jumped up and ran across the hood of a parked car in his cowboy boots. He totally scratched up and dinged the hood of the car. The owner, a pastor at a local church, told the parents about it. The father denied it, then he tried to hit the pastor. The police were called. I took the car license number and testified as a witness. These people are just a prime example of the poor excuses for parents that our country is full of. The parents should have been publicly caned.
My parents would have beat my butt with a leather belt if I had dared touch someone else's property. They never had to, though, because they told us how to behave and enforced it. I'm not saying I never got spanked with a hand when I was young, but I knew it was a potential consequence. My own kids know if they dare to damage someone else's property, they will pay for the repairs and be punished. They are too old to spank, however, especially since they're bigger than me! LOL My kids also know what it's like to have their property stolen or damaged by other people.
Store chicken doesn't even compare (nm)

There was a store where I used to live who did that. Apparenlty, it is legal for them to do.
So stupid. Not only do these checks display who they are but WHERE they live, their phone numbers, SS numbers, etc.
I get Monster drink from the corner store...
These really work for me--ingredients below
Carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, taurine, natural flavors, sodium citrate, l-carnitine, panax ginseng root extract, ascorbic acid, caffeine, sodium chloride, niacinamide, riboflavin, guarana seed extract, inositol, glucuronalactone, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanobalmin.
LOLOL. Women obviously store more WATER than men.

And where exactly do you think that the meat in the grocery store comes from?? ANIMALS!

How long should you store reports on your computer?
As a subcontractor, what is the appropriate amount of time to store transcribed reports on your computer before deleting them?
Go to a beauty supply store in your area and ask them.
You can buy the professional stuff even if you're not a beautician. My SIL says not to use the box stuff. She buys tubes of coloring and uses two or three different shades to get more highlights and lowlights so it looks more natural instead of being unicolor. She's a licensed cosmetologist/beautician or whatever they're called nowadays.
Regarding Walmart vs grocery store prices
This got buried on the second page, but I pointed out that Bounty paper towels are more at Walmart than my local grocer. Someone replied back saying that overall the grocery store is more. Nope. This is my reply:
The paper towel price increase is not a momentary thing. I started comparing prices a few years ago between Walmart and the grocery store. I used to buy food at the grocery store and everything else at Walmart. Until Walmart got to be just as expensive or MORE expensive in some cases than the grocery store. It is NOT just paper towels. Same with Era detergent. Same with a multitude of other products. Walmart has gotten GREEDY.
Now I clip coupons for the paper goods, cleaners and what not and the grocery store doubles any coupons 50 cents or less (I don't use them if they don't double). So with the prices being less than Walmart to begin with, plus using coupons, I come out WAY ahead. So I don't even make a Walmart trip at all anymore. Might as well just buy everything at the grocery store. It's closer, more convenient, and CHEAPER.
I got a replacement spring at my hardware store .... sm
take your remaining spring as a sample for the gauge ... i had to buy one a foot long, irrc, and cut it with scissors but I think it cost under $2. you might call around to save time ... I used an "old time" amazing local hardware store but I suspect my local Ace hardware would have something too .. (but doubt home depot or Lowes would) ...
There are several reasons I have half a dozen "dead" keyboards in my shed ... and this is one ... I think later models weren't made with this "feature" (the spring under tension poppping out and impossible to find feature, that is) ;-)
Store brand regular ole coffee for me
It looks like I'm in the minority.
