I don't think you should give a gift that makes someone feel little either...

I am sure if your husband left a $5 Walmart gift card on the table for your anniversary rather than a heartfelt card, handwritten note, or even the traditional nothing, you would feel offended, too.

You can always "Re-Gift" and give them to her next year
Yes, give her a new car - it would make a great Christmas gift!
Kohl's gift cards, and at Christmas I give - sm
tree ornaments (buy them at 60-70% off after Christmas at Kohl's, keep at least 15-20 on hand as last minute gifts too). This year we skipped the gifts as our school was blood sucking money out left and right the whole month of May (private school, no tax funding), so the teacher's got nadda this year, though I did contribute to the "class" give for Teacher Appreciate week which was the week of May 22 at our school. I have to buy for 4 teachers as each class as the main teacher and assistant, and I have 2 kids in the school. Gets to be a bit much, especially when I do $25 on a gift card for each of them. I think an ornament though can be given any time of the year, of course Christmas time is a bit more appropriate.
I give ours gift certificates to the local teacher supply store.
One year, we also gave a teacher a gift certificate to PetCo (for the class bird!).
Thank you so much. That makes me feel better.
Here's hoping things go smoothly. :)
It is entirely possible it makes you feel odd.
Even if it wasn't a fairly new drug, medications can affect different people differently. It does seem surprising that it took 6 months, so maybe it's something else, or something new you added to your diet or something reacting with the drug.
Sometimes doctors will dismiss patients' anecdotal reactions, but time will tell. That's what happened with drugs like Lipitor. It took a lot of patients complaining of back pain and suggesting it was Lipitor before doctors stopped insisting it wasn't Lipitor doing it (from what I heard from patients).
Definitely talk to your doctor and hopefully he or she will have an acceptable solution for the problem.
That makes me feel
That makes me feel sooo much better! Thanks for responding. I really thought this job was going to work out well at first, but I too have had very little training and/or support for the last three days and I'm thinking "Why am I doing this?" I have another job I can go back to that was much simpler with fewer headaches. I just hate to be known as a "quitter" after such a short time. I guess I should expect some ugly emails huh? lol
Thank you. That makes me feel better. :)
Not sure, but doing MT every day sure makes me FEEL
Most of the time it's VERY hard for me to forcus for more than about 10 minutes before I get distracted.
P.S. If it makes you feel any better
when I had 10 years' exp I SUCKED at ophthalmology, but I was willing to learn and now I am quite good.
Thanks for the info. Makes me feel better.... sm
 I have been doing a lot of reading and I really hoped it would do well with just voice files. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to the reducing the noise factor as well. Can't wait to get mine! Will get it possibly by Monday.
Actually makes me feel someone is watching OUT for me

Hope this makes you feel better...sm
I just let "them" go after 1 day. I went to work for a company and after 1 day of training I could sense the BS coming on strong, so just quit. They just couldn't understand. Works both ways, IMO.
If it makes you feel better, add some chicken broth
:}
Thanks everyone for the support. Makes feel a bit better. I have other accounts and
I hope things will be okay. I just find it hard to believe that they can get the quality of service they got with me for 11 cents per line! They will probably get hit with either bad quality work or lots of hidden charges....I can only hope!
well I bet that makes her feel good, aren't you wonderful
Nice of you to let everyone know how good you have it compared to others.
Okay, if it makes you feel better... Read it at CNN, Commie News Network.

Can you give the initials of this company? Sure don't want to apply here! Feel bad for you. nm

Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly.
I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.
The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
if you feel like that after 12 years, and I feel like that after six months
what hope is there?
I feel people who feel like this post
needs to a) either be a stay at home mother and not work or b) realize that she is no queen bee and I could care less about a degree. What company out here that you know of compensates for having a degree? Means nothing to them. Your working and being there when they assign/need/require/whatever is what you should do IF YOU WANT A JOB in this field, otherwise get out and do something else or become that babysitter.
A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.
Tell him you'll give him your macros if he'll give you his Lexus, his ski cabin, and (nm)
;p
I really don't know but the best gift I could get is what I have now and that is 2 of the most te
companies anyone could have to work for! Both companies are simply wonderful. It is very hard to find ONE company that is the best but to find TWO is too unreal and to me that is the best gift one could ask for. I feel so blessed when I read these boards and see all of the folks who are unhappy. Both companies I have are thoughtful and really care about their people. You really cannot ask for more than that. ;)
No x-mas gift
This will be my second Christmas with this company. I did not receive anything last year so I don't expect to this year either. Still, a good company to work for.
gift
I just sent a gift of food from Popcorn Factory. Will arrive the 19th. I appreciate who I work for. very much.
Gift for Mom
Go to Hometown Favorites.com - neat stuff!
MT gift
I received a very nice tote bag with the Transolutions' logo with a very nice card. The bag has lots of pockets--love it! Happy MT Week!
Did u get a gift?
I didn't. I guess technically we're not entitled to getting anything but it still would have been nice to get a card or something to show more appreciation for what we do. Just my thoughts. I think it depends on the size of the company.
gift
I scrapbook so of course I think in terms of pictures, momentos. How about a small scrabpook (4x6) filled with pics on great romantic paper. OH even has a scrapbook section. Check it out. Even if she doesn't scrap, you can buy kits that include everything you need and then put it together adding a few personal touches like journaling.
gift
When my husband returned from overseas I brought him a coffee cup filled with chocolate candies. The cup had an American flag on it. And a nice card. He really isn't going to be interested in the gift, so a token gift would be plenty. Enjoy your reunion!
Gift
I give my doctors cookie trays. Somebody else suggested poinsettas.
Each day is a gift
and I do not say that lightly because my last week or so has sucked big-time donkey eggs. I said to my hubby this morning "Okay, honey, I'm leaving for the office now." He looked at me and cracked up because I was standing in the hallway in what he calls my "fart sack" a giant, several-sizes-too-big flannel nightgown. My kids are both home sick with mono and getting them through final exams and everything is going to be a challenge. The flip side of that is how lucky I am to work from home so that I can oversee their recovery and still earn a paycheck. I've resolved to try to find the silver lining in every cloud today.
By the way, those of you who saw my most on the gab board about DH's cellulitis, it seems to have miraculously started clear. I'm not getting cocky yet because he still has a pocket of infection near the top of his scar but he might be okay! 
Gift
When my neighbors watch my cat while we're on vacation, I usually also get something from the place I visited.
gift
What is an appropriate gift ( reasonable ) to give a doctor's office that has a ton of employees ( I am an IC)? I feel I should give them something since I do appreciate the work, but do not want to spend a ton of $$. Thanks
thank you gift
We recently had a family reunion on my husband's side, hosted on 2 different days by 2 different cousins. We want to send them both a nice gift for their gracious hosting. Both families are in their 40s/50s, husband and wife. Thanks for any ideas.
gift
I have sent a basket that has different cheeses, sausages and the mix.. You can get those pretty reasonable. I think the name of the place is Figi's?
No need to feel badly for me - feel badly for an adult who has no control of his/her own life!
I hope these people didn't produce any daughters! Bad, bad example!
How about a gift certificate for a
for a decadent say of self-indulgence. I wouldn't mind a massage right now and would LOVE it if someone bought me one. LOl
If they have hobbies, how about gift
their favorite stores? Also, sometime you might write them a letter telling them how you feel about them (if you are close and care about them a lot). Nothing like a genuine, heartfelt gift to make a girl cry....seriously. I still have a letter from my little brother from when he was in about 5th grade (he's 35 now with kids of his own) and it is just precious. Don't force it, though, only if you really mean it. Maybe even include pictures from when you were all kids.
Wedding gift
If you already have two households of "stuff" you obviously don't "need" the money either, especially since you are going to have a yard sale. Two terms come to my mind - trailer trash and greed - if the shoe fits - put one of them on and leave me off your guest list. Personally, I would make a donation to the children's home, as I no longer send flowers to a funeral when a charity is listed. I send money to the charity and the family receives a card saying that a donation has been made in the memory of the deceased person. Since you don't seem to mind asking your guests for money - may I ask your age and the age of your fiance? Just trying to put this in perspective
I got the BEST Mother's Day gift!
Back in December I had a car accident. I was POURING rain and the woman in front of me slammed on her brakes rather suddenly. I hit my brakes, but I guess because of all the water on the road I didn't stop, I slid and hit her.
Her car had very little damage, if any. My car (Dodge Stratus) had about $1000.00 worth of damage to the front end. The airbags did not deploy though because it was a very low impact accident.
Well, I had removed collision insurance from my auto policy because at the time I couldn't afford it. My son had been having some medical problems and I was trying to cut corners any way I could.
My car has been sitting at a body shop since December waiting to be repaired. The estimate was $900.00 to replace the hood, headlights, and pull the engine forward as the accident had pushed it back some and clamed the radiator hose shut and the fans weren't turning either. The estimate did not include painting.
I have not been able to afford getting my car repaired yet. I have been driving an old piece of junk that my parents have sitting at their house as a "back up" vehicle for emergencies. It burns oil like the dickens, smokes like crazy, no air conditioning (in NC that is critical), and drinks gas like its going out of style.
Yesterday my son and I went to my parents house for lunch. I pulled in the driveway, AND THERE SAT MY CAR!!!!!! I swear to you, I cried. I couldn't believe my eyes. They had had it repaired and painted. Well, they painted the new hood and the front fenders. The fenders didn't have any damage, but they did it in order to blend the paint. It looks increadibly good. I can't even tell any difference between the new paint and the "old paint".
They also took it to Stanley Steemer and had the interior steam cleaned. When they did that, they also cleaned the motor, so it looks brand new. The only thing left is getting a new front bumper. It has a couple of cracks in it up where the hood and the bumper meet. But the body shop could not find a used bumper for it and to replace it with a new one would cost $900.00 by itself. So, we will be looking out for a used bumper and when we find one we will have the bumper replaced and have the entire car painted. I can wait for that though. I am just so thrilled to have my car back!!! No more piece of junk for me!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!
MT Week Gift
On Saturday I received a very nice tri-fold tool kit (in pink no less) in a box with the company logo on it. It is full of useful small tools and came with a note of appreciation. I thought that was a rather considerate gesture of recognition.
what a nice gift on MT day !!!!
Today I landed a hospital pathology transcription position; per diem, $22.50 an hour with possibilities of f/t down the road! They hired me on the spot - yippee! Happy MT Day, everyone !

DH anniversary gift
One year my sister had some very beautiful "beaudoir" photos taken that she gave her husband for an anniversary gift and he was nuts about them. They were all taken by a very reputable photographer, all the shots were tasteful and nothing X-rated was exposed or showing. One showed her very covered up with a red feather boa, you could see her bare shoulders and her bare legs, but not much else; another showed her kneeling in an unmade bed covered in all the important places by a sheet. She had 4 taken in different poses and different settings. They were some of the best photos I've ever seen of her. They hung them in their bedroom so that they were kept private, but they were beautiful enough and tasteful enough that she showed them to family and close friends. From what her photographer said, quite a few women have this type of photo taken for their significant others. Just another idea to ponder. :)
Need gift ideas.....
I need some help figuring out a neat gift idea for our veterinary staff. You guys always have some GREAT ideas !!!
We have had some significant problems with both our "mom" and the 8 puppies we have left, having lost 3. The staff at our vet hospital has just been absolutely wonderful. This is a new vet hospital for us. Our old vet and staff were... well... let's just say less than caring or concerned about our animals.
We'd like a way to say thanks in a different and unique way, other than the traditional fruit/snack basket, and this is just not my strong suit. We feel that plenty of people will complain about bad service, but sometimes we forget to reward the great service or the extra effort, and this vet hospital has done that and more.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. TIA....
Greeting Gift
She's right, you'll be all he'll want to see after being gone so long. Welcome back to your husband. Maybe a few balloons would be a nice touch, though.
