Hey if you have the cash more power to you. Obviously the rest of the country doesn't.

In Reply to: Heck, YES!!!! Most of our Walmart employees - boycott WalMart and Sam's Club!
Everytime I go into a Walmart I see poor folks shopping and I never see poor folks in high-end stores with la-de-dah staff snubbing them. We just can't afford the prices independents need to charge the consumer.

She could probably sell the purse on the street for cash, then use the cash for drugs. nm

Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't

I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
What about my cash flow problem?
She owes me for 2 weeks work.
Good for you!! We are the same as far as paying with cash.
It was (and still is occasionally) hard to be patient and save for what you want instead of using credit, but it is so, so, so worth it!! Nothing like peace of mind and not being "owned" by creditors and employers. Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing. 
Is it unheard of to cash in PTO with national?
I have 75 hours of PTO and wonder if the national I am with (starts with an S and ends with an S) would allow me to cash it in? This thought just occurred to me so will call HR when I have time to but just wondered if anyone has done this and is it an unreasonable request.
Thanks
Yeah, i need the extra cash
my husband passed away in january. I need the promotion or I have to get a second job and I thought to work at home would be good because I still have a 15 year old at home. Oh well, I was trying to get prepared, but God will provide. I'm sure it will all work out. The hospital I work for has been very good to me so I count my blessings there. Thanks!
The difference between a refi with cash out and a
home line is there is a variable rate with a home equity line of credit. The refi with cash out finance rate is 4.625% right now.
Ew. My DH listens to Johnny Cash and the Highwaymen.
I tell him it's canner music. I've listened to AC/DC for 25 years, but I listen to a lot of other types of music, too. My kids were surprised because they didn't know I listened to AC/DC and they like it, too. They don't like Johnny Cash or the Highwaymen either. At least AC/DC isn't rap or thrash metal. (Angus rules!) My son's learning to play electric guitar and he likes all those old rock bands.
Unless you work in a bank or at a cash register,
doubt they would do a credit check. I remember telling my employer during my interview about my Ch13, explaining the surgery, the divorce, the agony...she sat there and then said "we don't do credit checks." This was at a major hospital. Background checks only.
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
I havent had insurance in many, many years, I pay cash and like SM
the poster below I usually get a 20% discount, but you have to call around to find out who will give it to you. My DD had to have an MRI last year and I got a big discount on that too by calling around.
Originally, insurance was intended for hospitalization, not regular doctor visits. I dont know how it evolved into this monster we have now, but it sure has driven the cost up.
hey if you can afford it and a supervisor's approval means more to you than cash, have at it.
i want the luck of the draw. you think your supervisor is going to pay your bills when she routes crap to you and it takes you twice as long to do a report? all you do is make her look good and she gets a raise.
It's true that if you cash a check, they are no longer liable, but
with direct deposit, we are not given the choice to cash it or deny it. Wonder how that direct deposit affects that choice.
But you have learned nothing. Ever hear of paying cash for what you want, instead of financing?
Buy him a Johnny Cash CD, my kids are singing their hearts out right now to JC.

For extra cash I just started donating blood plasma SM
to BioLife, owned by Baxter. They pay about $50 a week for this (put on debit card). Does anyone else do this, and what other things like this is anyone aware of? It's not as gross as it sounds, just like giving blood, and they separate your plasma from the blood and give you your blood back.
slow periods, seek alternative extra cash? sm
Docs, like us, have busy family lives. I found that after Hannukah and Christmas (or sometimes with a break from family stuff) they "catch up" on dictation. Hopefully, this is what still happens. I have a son who is a professional and he likes to go in on Christmas Eve morning because it's so "slow" that he can get a lot of paperwork done. So hang in. Another aspect of today's world is that docs are carrying laptops now as is my family PCP and they are all doing their own notes. I think it's a "wait and see" thing, the world is changing and hopefully there is a survival tool for us somewhere. We are all being replaced by technology, sadly. Only time will tell. I was told several years ago that I should go into "scoping" which is kind of like editing, etc., you go into public stenographers machine gibberish and make sense out of it, kind of like making sense out of what comes back from India. I was offered this but refused to clean up someone else's "mess." Everyone should be thinking of alternative ways to get by, it's never easy. It's sad, as I have put a lot of time and $$$ into a profession that doesn't appreciate my knowledge. From your posts, Blondie, you have a good heart. I hope things get better for you. Try to have a happy holiday. How did you make out with those dogs you took in? Did the owner take them back or at least pay you? This may be an alternative few extra bucks for you. You seem to be an animal lover and a caring person.I don't live near you, but I would rather leave my Golden with you than some kennels around here. Thus, I do not go away if I can't take my dog. Hope things pick up for you work-wise.
I agree -- check, cheque, chex, etc. -- who cares as long as you can cash it? :-) sm
It is rather disappointing to see a bunch of professionals bickering over such a trivial issue.
I keep the minimum amount of cash in the bank. I may sound paranoid but I fully
there to be locked up. The banks are scampering around if you notice. They have written notices that they can raise your interest rate to 28% or more for just about no reason on the credit cards. I think they have let way too much money borrowed out be on the books, and now the little man is having to pay either with money, or his financial credit.
If you read about GOLD, gold is selling for a lot, all over the world, even in this supposed stable time. That's a sign they say that things aren't as steady as the powers that be want you to believe.

I power nap too!
I doze for about 10-15 minutes, but usually only when I didn't get enough sleep the night before. Usually, a cup of coffee and a quick break and I'm good to go again.
power nap
 Finally got the hang of it and can fall asleep pretty quickly, but now I don't get up with the alarm, cause I know it's going to stop soon, so I sleep through it, or at least wait for it to stop. No discipline? Suggestions?

so you think that shrub has the power to
change Islams into Christians? That is just not going to happen, no more than you could change me into a Muslim! No, he needed to go after Bin Laden, a friend of the shrub family, as you may or may not remember. Do you know that he stole away a bunch of Saudi Arabians out of the US the night of 9/11 or 9/12? His buddies. He had to go after somebody and was not going to be Bin Laden, so he thought, and he thought right, that the religious rightwing would accept getting Saddam out of the way. Now professing to want to bring Christianity and freedom to the Muslim world. OMG, if that is not megalomania, I don't know what is!

power of attorney

And that's cool...more power to ya!!
And you are quite fortunate to have found what you love to do! Take care!
Yup, real power comes
.. when you do the "right thing", even tho you want to pile all his stuff up, douse with gasoline, and throw the match! Revenge can be sweet in the moment, whether in words or actions, but the regret lasts a looooong time, and it gives him something to throw back at you and your kids. This way, you can be proud to hold your head up and just keep movin' on......
Car power supply.
I use a power converter that you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $35. I keep it in the car all the time.
I take a 10-minute power nap (sm)
When I find myself to the point of not being able to focus, I set my timer for 10 minutes and sleep on the couch. I usually can finish my shift, but I sometimes have to take a little nap again later. I work 5 hours during the day and my last 3 hours from 9 to midnight. Sometimes, I also step outside when it's cold. I hate being cold, so that really wakes me up. No amount of caffeine will wake me up. I am almost to the point of finding just a part-time job during the day because it is hard to be productive at night when all I want to do is crawl into bed. Good luck!
You might need a power boosted USB hub sm
That is, if the one you are using is not. I had this problem with the standard USB hub. IT fella on one of my jobs suggested a buy a USB hub that plugs in, so it has a power boost. No more problems for me. Oh and it was not pricey, I think I paid $20 with shipping and the shipping was half that amount (YIKES).
Power naps.

It's a power issue..

We live 65 miles from Galveston. We shouldn't flood. If the hurricane reaches a 5, which is a good possibility, it will be about a 3 when it reaches us. We have a new roof and no big trees around us. We are cleaning out the garage to put the car in and the dogs. We are wedging the garage door and the windows. We are also putting boards up over the back patio sliding glass door. The living room is the middle of the house, but we have that patio door there. We have no inner closets or anything. It is only about a 1600 SF house. That is why I would worry about a tornadoe. We don't have any renter's insurance or flood insurance. If we stay, we could at least move stuff to higher ground if water started coming in. They freeways are already filling up, and I have to work. I wish there was some way to get my kids to their grandma in Dallas and stay here myself with my husband. They are only 4 and 6, so flying by themselves is out of the question.  I am just going to see what tomorrow brings and then go from there. If it gets to a 5 though, we are going to have to leave.
sorry - power failure - cut off my post!
SORROY - OWER FAILURE CUT OFF THE END OF MY POST!
Don't worry about the little things - she has good parents that are concerned about her. Just make the love, trust and open communication the priority!
Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?
Do acct coordinators have the power to....
knock you off the server so you lose whatever work is downloaded to you and, if so, is this pretty standard practice when they want the work to go to their favorites instead???
I do that, too. I don't like to shower first to power clean
the house because then you get all sweaty with cleaning chemicals all over.
LOL. MT's don't kill people. Not that much power! nm

No problems as long as I have power!...
I use a small local satellite service and occasionally they may be working on it and it disappears for 10-20 minutes, but it isn't often. I find it surprisingly stable, unless of course we're having another one of our too-frequent power outages this winter! But it don't matter about satellite if I don't have my computer! I do though keep a dial-up account as backup so if I need to send files when the satellite is down I can -- but that all depends on your platform and method of sending, I suppose. Good luck! (BTW, as far as use goes, satellite is as faster or faster than cable/DSL, and its great!)
Do you mean the power plug in adapter? nm

You're right - it IS all a big power struggle. sm
But others in this country who've gotten the short end of the stick have made themselves heard on The Hill. Look at all the illegal aliens, who now call themselves "Immigrants", and fight for "Immigrant Rights". They've almost got themselves driver's licenses and HMO coverage in my state.
Look at Cesar Chavez, who got migrant farm workers better pay & working conditions. Before he came along, that was certainly an "invisible" job.
And look at this country's huge media interest in sweatshop conditions in other countries. What about sweatshop conditions in our OWN country? AND Indian MTs, for that matter... have you ever seen the photos of them - sitting shoulder to shoulder, with the boss walking around all day looking over their shoulders? (In a pic I saw once, it looked like the guy should've had a whip and a chair....) I wonder how often they get to take breaks, and what happens to them when they get carpal tunnel. Bet they don't have any bennies. And because MTSOs in India can get away with that, as well as the low pay, because in India ANY job is a good one, then the same conditions have been seeping into the U.S. for years. You're right about being mindful of who we vote into office. I think this next election is going to be a major turning point in the direction of our country, as well as the living standards of its people, and hopefully the right decision will be made and there will be a chance of turning things around. It can't all be done at once, but even if it's one step at a time, if it's in the right direction, maybe this profession can be saved, along with this country's middle class. The middle class is the one that has always carried this country economically, and if it disappears, then heavens to Betsy - the Rich and Big Business might actually have to pay their fair share of the taxes. THAT would sure be a first, wouldn't it?
Oh - so that means that in power outages
which is one reason that I wanted the lap top, the only way it would work is with air card, correct? Because no power to the router, no internet. So that means I need to leave my house and go where there is power.
P.S. Can you just come to my house and give me in-service training! Sure wish I had someone around that could - I would pay them hourly! Feel like I need to write you a check now!
Stupid question..What happens if your power goes out? sm
If you should loose your power, with a landline you will always have a phone. but if you loose your power, your computer does not work. That was one of the reasons I was leery of VoIP and I still am.
Yes, but I power nap for 10 min (set a clock) and freel great.
