One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs.  The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.

If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well.  But food is your best bet.

like Negro, is very outmoded now and I rarely hear it from the docs anymore.  I believe it used to refer to Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people,  as well as Vietnam and other countries in S.E. Asia.  - while Asian is more all-encompassing and can describe people from India, Filipinos, etc.  Handicapped is another word that sounds old-fashioned now (except when referring to parking spaces, for some reason). It has been replaced by disabled.     Either of them is better than the very PC "physically challenged" or "differently abled" or even worse - "handicapable."  gag.....

Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google.  (I love the Internet!  No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.)  I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet.  Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.

For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice.  I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly.  You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish.  I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.

I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls.  I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil.  I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts.  Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp.  Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.

I ordered an XPS400, over $1,000, with extras.  I was assured this had a 15-pin game port for transcription, did not need to have it added on.  Get it in the mail today and no game port.  There is a 15-pin port, but the monitor is on it.  They said it included a DVI adaptor for the monitor, said it was included, but it is not.  So I tried Delll Chat and was not able to get through, was told I was not a customer. 

He just came to get the rest of his belongings!  Two police officers were with him.  It's snowing here, but I put everything and I mean EVERYTHING of his outside.  He took his dog and off he went.  I watched all of it from my livingroom window. 

On a personal note, today is his 28th birthday!  I say Happy Freakin' Birthday and GOOOOOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

Here is a list of emoticons to demonstrate how I'm feeling...  It's the beginning of the end of my marriage and I love it.  Whooooooppppeeeeee!!!!!  Congratulate me!!!!!

to desposit an unexpected load in my shorts at winning!  Holy crap that is awesome for you!   I can squeeze the living daylights out of a dollar, and with that kind of cash I'd most definitely put myself down for a sabattacle from the danged keyboard!  I'd invest it, just because I've always wanted to do that but never had nuthin' to work with.  Lame, I know, but I don't call myself "hayseed" for nuthin'! 

Congratulations again!!  Wow!!   

I AM SORRY TO PUT THIS HERE, BUT I CANNOT GET A REPLY FROM MT STARS.  CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THIS BOARD.  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

ALSO, I KNOW GATEWAY WILL SELL YOU DESKTOP WITH XP, BUT IF YOU WANT A LAPTOP, YOU HAVE TO BUY A REFURBISHED ONE TO GET XP.  THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE TO PUT XP ON.

From the company board...  Is this legal? To have a gag order on employees?

Call a recruiter. No new employee can tell you this and let me tell you why...

There is a very specific, fairly new paragraph in the information that new hires are sent: If you talk about your salary, you can be terminated.

Salary is dependent on your test scores, your interview, the account you'll be on, and your experience. It differs for everyone, and it is competitve with other MTSOs. Your best bet is to call, or email, a recruiter. Their information can be found on MT Jobs, MT Stars, and MT Desk in their weekly ads.

Best of luck in your job search!

for a home office deduction you have to meet the following criteria.   Don't overdecorate or they may get you...

Had ordered several from them before on line because I like their keyboards.

Went to their site, tried to pull up my order history, but it didn't work, so I called.  I wound up with someone SOMEWHERE in the world (not the USA), explained that I needed to order the same keyboard I ordered before.  (They had added new ones, so I wasn't sure which one I had ordered, and I couldn't pull up my past order history.)

Anyway, she kept asking me if I was using my business or personal credit card.  I explained my situation to her, that it was just a keyboard, and I wanted to put it on my credit card, but she still kept asking if it was business or personal, so much, in fact, that I became very leery of dealing with her, wound up telling her so and HUNG UP.

Turns out I had to buy a new computer in the last couple of weeks.  My choice WOULD have been Dell, but after my previous experience, I bought an Acer instead and LOVE it.  It's a LOT cheaper and works just fine.

I sometimes feel like the "queen" of on-line ordering, and I've never, ever had an experience with ordering on line that gave me such a negative "gut feeling" as I had with Dell.

All I can say is be very, very careful.
