out there who don't have close contact with their kids in this group, that I feel very fortunate when mine want to talk to me.  My daughter (19) and I are very close and she still lives here, and sometimes I really do have to cut it short with her.  However, my son lives away from home, and when he does stop by and wants to talk, I definitely stop and listen.   

Now, with that all being said, I definitely know what you mean about all this talking and listening cutting into the overall production for the day.  I just tack on another hour to an already long day and count my blessings that my kids and I can still talk.  Of course, if I have a deadline, I really do put a Do Not Disturb sticky note up, and they don't bother me.

Just as a side note and not to go into any details here, but my son was really into drugs and alcohol and wouldn't hold a job for about 6 or 7 years and honestly would hardly talk to me at all unless he had his hand out, wanting money.  Well, I guess I really should say that when we did talk and he wasn't asking for money, he was always lying to me to cover up what he was doing.  It was a hard road but we got through it, and I do love for him to talk to me now because I really feel like I have my son back.  So I guess I look at those interruptions a little differently.   :)

I was shocked (very pleasantly surprised) to get an e-mail from my boss this weekend stating because I've mastered new skills and am always offering to work extra to keep our accounts in TAT, they are giving me a raise that will be effective on my next check for the last 2 weeks.  Wow!  I was trying to work up the courage to ask for a raise in June (1 year anniversary), but they offered me a raise first!  I've NEVER had a national offer me a raise in the past.  Cool, huh? :)

I watched the videos....I am an animal lover, but the truth is...the way the beef and pigs are killed is the norm.  It's been going on for generations. When I was growing up, there was a slaughter house in my town and if you would walk past there during the day, you could hear the cattle cry. 

Even your local farmers still use the method of slitting throats and/or shooting them in the head, or  using an electric prod to the brain to put them down....but at least you know they are healthy.  It's sad but what would someone suggest as a more humane way? I have no idea.

If PETA had their way, there would be no animals for food. Then they would start on the veggies. PETA is an out of control, radical bunch of freaks. I know someone who was part of that group and he was absolutely nuts. He would steal your dog, let your pet rabbits loose, etc. if he saw them in pens. I have no use for PETA. If you look at the end of the video, it it telling you to become a vegetarian and we all know that you need the protein and iron from meat in our diet.

But, on the other hand, I sure don't want to eat any of those animals seen in the video. I guess I will start going to my local farmer from now on. I don't believe in growth hormones for animals either. It's not natural.

 Sorry. I'm sure some will disagree with me and that's why I signed myself annomymous.

If you guys need a laugh (or maybe a good cry, depends on how you look at it), check out the videos on you tube about medical transcription, the schools, etc. Check out the one on the Azimuth academy.  I watch other things on you tube, never thought to key in "medical transcription." 

Go to MSN.com.  On the left three quarters down the page it says news videos.  When you click on that a box comes up with all little boxes of the days news videos and the past week.  There was a box to click for sentencing hearings for Rader live.  When I clicked the whole page was the court room.  Yesterday it lasted eight hours.  Today it lasted about six hours.  Check out MSN.com and the news videos.  They have today show videos, Meet the Press videos, news videos, MSNBC videos, music videos, funny videos, INXS weekly videos from the show. 

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." 

I have an online musicstore with Burnlounge at http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss and they are LEGAL to download from.

I would be very careful dowloading free music--they are fining people for this.  If you aren't paying for it--then consider it illegal

like soothing music you would get with yoga.  A lot of people like Windsor Pilates.  I personally did not care for them.  I LOVE Denise Austin's pilates DVDs.  I have a couple.  One has a 30-minute workout and then I have one that is Hit the Spot in which the work outs are only 10 minutes.  I will do one of the core or abdomen ones in the a.m. and then do a lower bod one later in the day. 

Pilates do wonders for your strength, toning, flexibility.  I have been doing them off and on for years.  If I stop doing them for a few months and come back, I can tell the different in my flexibility and strength in just about 4 work outs.  I do them about 3 times a week.

My 9yo grandson is into ACDC. I want to turn him on to some alternatives. I am downloading some music for a Xmas present for him and need some suggestions as to something a 9yo ACDC fan might enjoy. Thanks.

be able to burn CDs too.    We don't have iPods. 

Tried iTunes - liked it, but since we don't have Apple products not sure it will work for us.

Tried Wal-Mart - liked it, but songs are only good for 30 days unless you burn.  I like to burn, but usually have that CD in the car and like to play off the computer too.

Various others that have a monthly fee charge additional $$ if you burn to CD and then if you discontinue the service supposedly all MP3 files are rendered inactive.

We range from 11 to 48 and like a variety of music, also like something user friendly. 

I need a chart where they list all the services and the pros and cons of each.
