I have a rose...sm

In Reply to: Anyone have a tattoo? - thinkin' about it (sm)
I have a rose on my right shoulder, well the back of my shoulder. I've had it for about six years now. It's the only one I have. I have considered getting another, but just haven't come across the right one yet. If you are going to get one, make sure it is something that has some meaning for you as it will be there forever. I would definately advise against putting anyones name on your body, even if it is your spouse. The only name I would ever put on me would be my child's name.
As far as the pain goes, I won't lie to you...it does hurt. Depending on where you get it on your body will depend on just how bad it will hurt though. When I got mine, the pain was not all that intense. It feels kind of like a bee sting...that continues and continues until they stop with the needle. Getting the outline done is the worst part as the needles are a bit larger. The part on mine that hurt the most was when he was near my shoulder blade and that is because when you are over bone it is going to hurt worse because there is not a lot of muscle there to cushion it. The good news is, when they stop, the pain stops. At least that's how it was in my case.
Another thing...to prevent your tattoo from fading as fast (and your tattoo artist should tell you this if he/she is good) if you are in the sun make sure you put sunblock on your tattoo. It is good to put sublock on your body anyway, but make sure especially to put sunblock on your tattoo, as the sun is a sure way to drain the color out of your tattoo a lot faster. I got mine done a little over six years ago and it still looks like new. Also, if you do decide to get one, follow the aftercare instructions very carefully. My tattoo artist had special ointment to put on the tattoo after it was finished, but I understand that A&D ointment (for diaper rash) works well also. You have to keep it moist to prevent it from scabbing over.
Bottom line is, a tattoo is a life-long piece of artwork for your body. You should pick something that is meaningful to you and put it in a place that you would like it to be. Personally, I would never put one in a place that could not be covered up if need be...but that's just me.
Good luck!

Thanks, Rose........... sm
I have tried this numerous times and have been on the phone with my ISP tech support gang multiple times, only to be told that the problem must lie with my computer. It would seem that something is keeping my wireless computer from receiving a signal from the router, but I don't know what it is. The wireless receiver is only about 6 months old.
Hi Rose
The only other info I want to know is, are you hiring? Just kidding (sort of :)). Good for you, though. You go, girl!
Rose, - see message
I believe Sten-Tel has quite a few of the hospital accounts in Long Island. In fact, a few years ago I worked for a hospital in Nassau County while I lived in Manhattan, and they unfortunately outsourced to Sten-Tel.
However, there is a hospital in Manahawkin, NJ called Southern Ocean County Hospital, and they are looking for a radiology transcriptionist. It might be worth a shot to see if they would be interested in have a telecommuting position to you!! It would be worth a shot.
Rose, get this again.. unbelievable but
I was told by the company I work for that I was not supposed to refer to them, they do their own choosing. Well, ok, I only tried to get in contact regarding this 1 time and needless to say, would you try again? I think not. I do love VR and work part-time now and make enough in those days to pay my bills, etc. Good luck with whatever you do!
see Rose's message above; appears to be more to this.

Any good ideas for rose bushes? sm
I'm thinking of planting rose bushes along our new fence and just can't decide from all the varieties. I do want some that bloom all summer long and are winter hardy. Illinois can be brutal sometimes. 
The Rose. Good luck to your daughter. nm

Well, of course there are other companies doing the same. Take off the rose colored glasses and
:P
Wishing you a peachy one right back at ya, Rose! :) nm

Rose, I had asked pretty much the same question...
a while back. Here's what I gathered: QA is generally paid by the hour (at my company it's about 15 to 18/hr). Apparently it IS easier on the hands/fingers/wrists. That is why I was considering it--starting to get tingling/pain in my hands at times. Unfortunately for me, I make a bit more than 18/hr so I would have to actually take a pay cut. Don't know it that would be the case for you or not.
I only have about 10 years' experience. With your 25 years maybe you could find a better hourly somewhere.
Good luck in whatever you do.
Weird, isn't it? I had two Rose of Sharon bushes, one I bought for my mother
and planted it in her yard. The other I bought for myself and planted it in my yard. My mother passed away in 1993 and my bush died a month later. My father passed away in 1996 and that bush in their yard died a month later. Both passed on in August, 3 years and 5 days from one another. Makes you wonder.
That's a great news Rose, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter
guess, that all we could do for now.
Totally agree. Don Juan climbing rose is nice, too. sm
I love my antique rose, but wish the flowers lasted longer.
My dear friends husband has died. He was truly Australia's Rose.

Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose. Supposedly blooms all season.
