$2.29 in Central Maine
Which part of Maine and NH were you thinking of visiting??? The Maine coast is beautiful -sm
and the White Mountains in NH is also nice. I would suggest driving the Kangamangus Highway in the White Mountains in NH. Very nice drive and beautiful views of the White Mountains. I believe the Old Man of the Mountain is along this route but part of him fell a while ago so not sure what he looks like now???!!!
No and if you got email even hinting
that is totally out of line. Another thing cannot be discriminated about.
So are you telling me or hinting that I should just leave him and find sm
a man who will caress me, hold me, speak lovingly to me, etc. I mean, it would be the pot calling the kettle black if I were to leave him for not meeting my needs. That would make me the selfish one, wouldn't it?
Besides, everyone here is getting so worked up. I made this situation sound so much worse than we actually have it. He is my best friend. I can tell him anything. I should have said the love making, not sex..I've been around the block, believe me, before we married. It is great sex with a lot of communication, etc. I'm crazy about him.
He's just selfish sometimes as am I! We both can be! Don't worry about my kids, either. They are just fine, very, very happy and well-adjusted children. We have a ton of fun as a family. Thanks, everyone, for your comments.
No marriage is perfect. If I left him for another man, I'd have problems with that man too!
Can't you just spring for the cab, to be with your dad on TG? I think I would SM
do that, and maybe they'd have enough shame to give you a lift back to the station to go home.
I wouldn't let anybody keep me from being with my dad on TGD. Are you sure -- and I'm not trying to inflame you -- that you aren't maybe a little jealous of your steps? Just suck it up and go, don't be a martyr.
spring is here
Just one flower.
I love spring. It's been too hot lately to do anything around here.
I like it about 75 degrees with maybe a slight breeze. Plus, spring is when the lilacs bloom, all the critters have babies, and the garden starts to grow. The mosquitoes are out now in the early morning and evening, and it's 98 degrees or more during the day. It's better than winter, though. Fall is OK, but it makes me sad because everything is dying and winter's coming.
Spring Forward,
Don't know about elsewhere in the US, but here in the east tonight is the night we turn our clocks ahead one hour.
I had some pretty serious medical problems a year ago and was completely out of it from the middle of March to the middle of April so I have no recollection of time during that period. Does anyone recall the exact date that we "sprang" forward last year?
Ack, Sprint that is, NOT Spring...nm

Check the spring - you may need a new one
Spring break
I guess I am paranoid, but am afraid to let my 6-year-old granddaughter go out and play unless I am with her or her parents. It is a rotten shame our world has become so unsafe for children. Sounds like you have a good support team for your 5-year-old.
Yep, slow because of spring break.
About half of our clinic's doctors took off the last 2 weeks. It has been extremely slow. I only made half of what I normally do this month. :-( But things are starting to pick up again, so I just plan to work some extra hours next month to help make up for it.
Luckily for me with Spring Break
I have a 15 year old at home who watches her 5 year-old sister. Plus I also took a few days off so we can do things together. Also, there are a lot of kids outside in the neighborhood so they just all go out and play together. I know it would be hard if I didn't have all these things to keep her busy. It's too late now, but in our school district they have all sorts of programs half day and full day to keep the kids busy while their parents work. Maybe next year you could look into that. How about other kids in the neighborhood or maybe a teenager to look out for your son while you work?
MS Natural Keyboard help! spring needed!
I have a MS Natural multimedia keyboard that I used for about a month before I lost one of the springs that goes underneath the space bar. I tried other keyboards, even springs from pens, but nothing works. Does anyone have ideas on what to try or have a nonworking one that they can sell me the spring out of?
Thanks!
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) ;-)
It just tastes like the Poland Spring water sm
that I drink all day. That is why I never bought the fruit water, I don't like sweet drinks. This is perfect for me.
I'm not spring chicken! LOL I turned 40 today!
Im far from young or immature---I worked in public health for the government for many years, had my children in my mid to late thirties and left the workforce. I still needed income, so that's why I pursued a work at home job, so I could be with my children. I guess I am "immature" or not used to being treated poorly by employers. I've noticed with MT is that if you complain about ANYTHING, you should be thankful that you are working at home! Just because we work at home does not mean we have to accept anything. Again, my employer said one thing in the interview and completely changed the plan once I was released to work from home. This profession needs a union, big time or some type of advocates (please don't meantion AAMT, because they could care less). I have a right to be disappointed that I was basically lied to. If I had known they were going to make me work a set shift when I got in the home, I probably would have turned the job down. Now I have to make the best of if until I can find another professional job and find a good preschool for my toddlers.
My nephew got a girl pregnant at Spring Break.
He was in college. The girl pretty much partied with every guy there, but tracked them down. DNA proved paternity. Now he pays child support to a girl who was a one night stand. As bad as that is, things could have been worse. I am just glad my DD never wanted to go.
Parents of College Students..Any of your kids going on Spring Break?
Ugh! I have a son going with a group of friends to Mexico for thier first "spring break." They are all good kids, but I've seen the late-night Girls Gone Wild videos... They better be good.
too true. Spring break is somekind of commercial myth anyway,
Don't know about Maine
but here in Northeast Alabama we do actually have an overpopulation. However, I agree the state can come up with some ridiculous laws regarding hunting. We used to raise cattle. There were as many deer as cattle on our farm. We were constantly having to repair fencing, not to mention what they did to our gardens, etc. Last year my husband hit a deer with his car on his way home from work. State Farm said they had handled more deer claims this year than ever before. Also, most of the hunters I know either eat the meat themselves, or give it to someone who wants it. By the way, my husband is a member of the NRA, but the NRA not only fights gun control, but promotes gun safety and responsibility. I am not flaming. You have a right to your opinion. Guns are dangerous in the wrong hands. I don't love guns, but I feel they have their place. There is sometimes only one deputy patrolling our whole county at night. If we have a problem, we are on our own. I feel like guns are a necessary evil where I live. My husband once held some young men at gun point who my 75-year-old neighbor caught stealing her grandson's ATV (the grandson was in Iraq). Of course he did not shoot anyone, but he did hold them until the deputies could get there- 45 minutes later.

Going to Maine.
I am originally from Bangor, Maine, and my family has a cabin on Lake Sebec. My mom, dad, sister, son, and I went for 10 days last year and we are going again this year. It's really great to go and see all of my family. I have a very large family up there and since they are 1000 miles away, I don't get to see them very often. Can't wait to go, although the drive up and back is a looooong one!
Casco Bay TR in Maine
I live in Maine and have not heard of them. They must be fairly new or changed their name from something else.
Bangor, Maine
They're in Maine. :-)

re: a canadian MT who lives next to MAINE
I have a MT company from portland, Maine who w ants me to work for them as an IC. They offered me 7 cents per line american. WHat a freakin joke!!
I wont work for under 12 cents per line and I have been out of it for awhile (6 years!!).
See ya!!
Any one know of Casco Bay Transcription in Maine?
I would like to hear from anyone who works for this company. Do they pay decent? Are they good to work for? Thank you.
She's pretty - like a Maine Coon? (sm)
I bet she gets into all sorts of hilarious mischief. I like watching cats on Funniest Home Videos. Just saw the one where the toddler was gently poking at the cat who was sitting in a chair. She suddenly had enough, so she stood on her back feet and whopped his head repeatedly with those lightening fast paws. Kid didn't know what happened, just looked at the camera like, What the ??
Love it! It gets dark in Maine in Dec. by 4 p.m.
I hate standard time though. They can leave it as it is now and eliminate going back to standard time in the fall as far as I'm concerned. The clocks always go back right before Halloween too so the little ghosts and goblins have to trick or treat in the dark.
It does mess things up a bit changing over though. Last night my kids were all hungry and I said, "Oh for goodness sakes it's only . . . .. ALMOST SEVEN??"
Oops. . . . "hello, Dominos?" :)
Ayuh and if you don't like the weathah in Maine. . . .
wait a minute, it'll change.
We went to Maine a couple of years ago and it
was a MAJOR disappointment. It was nothing at all like you see on TV. We were in southern ME and people didn't keep up their yards, no one had a single flower in their yard, although there were a couple of hanging baskets and people were not very friendly. Went to Portland and couldn't get out of there fast enough. Everyone we met was rude and the place was just so dirty looking.
Here are some more - Maine Medical Center, sm
Fairview Health System, Gwinnett Medical Center, Atlanta, Piedmont Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess, Charlston Medical Center, West Virginia, Pacific California Hospital, UMass hospital, Marin General Hospital, California, New England Baptist, and the list goes on and on and on.

I know a director looking for MTs in central FL
She's an ex-boss who wanted me to work for them but I'm out of state. The facility requires the MTs to be in-state and wouldn't budge on that. She wants to depend on outside services/off-shoring as little as possible and hopefully not at all. Again, another I've found who is nauseated by the whole thing - do I see a hopeful trend? Cardiology background is necessary. Want me to check particulars?
Are they located in Central CA?
I think this place might be local for me.
Eastern Maine Medical Center
I miss working with other people. I miss having a QA person or a supervisor I know and can go talk to. I miss the hospital gossip and hearing about people's grandkids. Sigh. I left them to work at home figuring it would be all that. But it's not. Sigh....
Come to Maine in February, you'll cool off :)
However, it has been soooooo hot here for a month. I'm not just talking heat, we get 95 degrees with 86% humidity and even the kitchen floor is sticky under your feet. And that's with the AC on, choking in the background. The humidity makes everything sticky. 115 degrees of dry heat is like oven heat. 95 degrees of humid heat is like a sauna and you feel as if you're sucking in water when you breathe.
But February. . . .nice and cool. 20 below 2 weeks in a row. A good day might go up to 2 (that's degrees). In February we can't wait for the hot humid weather. In July we can't wait for snow, but not for February though, more like December when it's a nice 20 above.
Love it! Maine's motto should be "Freezeyourbuttoffland"
In case anyone missed it, there is a woman from Maine, sm
Her name is Cathi Lee. Her success story hit our tiny local newspaper one day and she has since been on Today, Good Morning America and in People Magazine.
If you Google her name and weight loss, you can see some articles about her.
I'm too technologically inept to be able to post anything here. I do know that there is a video on WMTW.com of her story.
She was 500 lbs. and lost 330 lbs. in 3 years without fad diets, pills or surgery. She just finally set her mind to it, did a lot of research and now at 48, she is a third of the size she was.
One of her main things was walking and I totally agree with that. I don't care if it's zero out, I still walk. I left my inhouse job 2 years ago and I've LOST 25 lbs. I have time to walk and I make myself do it unless it's pouring rain.
I also do not buy anything that I will eat for junk food, especially "desk food." Do not buy anything that you can easily snack on at your desk. Big mistake. I used to have a desk drawer of "comfort" snacks at my inhouse job and would snack all day.
Another thing is water. Not in the form of 6 cups of coffee. Just plain water and lots of it. NO SODA! Even diet soda will cause fluid retention. Keep a diet soda as a "treat" for the end of your work shift before you go walking. :)
Good luck!
Teeny town in Maine. I never even thought . . .sm
That this may not be the best thing to do if you live in a city or something.
We have virtually no crime rate unless the juveniles are bored and smash a pumpkin or something. We don't lock our doors and leave the keys in the car. It's a little tiny neighborhood with the 100 x 100 lots and everyone knows everyone by name.
Some customers leave paper money in envelopes clipped to their mailboxes right out in plain view and nobody has ever taken any.
There are neighborhoods in our nearest city that I wouldn't dream of doing this in.
So it's probably not for everyone.
Central FL hasn't increased at all yet. nm
