I realize I may regret extending the olive branch but

In Reply to: Puppy update from below - sm - My dog's day was today!
to tell you the truth, I have always rooted for the underdogs.
My very best friend in the world once tied my hair in knots (before we were friends,) added some gum and dirt to the mix too. This was back when I was in the 3rd grade. Her parents made her come and apologize and we have been very thick ever since.
She didn't have many friends either. She was kind of a bully and the kids were all basically scared of her. I am proud to say that I could rely on her in a pinch going on 25 years now.
On the advice of one of the posters, I will make sure that the pup is in the clear with animal control and the local police just to be safe. I have a friend who volunteers at the local animal shelter where we adopted our puppy. He teaches obedience classes for the dogs and caregiving for the owners. All of this he does for free.
Perhaps if all goes well with the neighbors, I will suggest to the dad that he and his daughter accompany us to some of these classes when we go. Maybe she can learn to love the animals and they can help heal her a little too.
There I go again, rootin for the underdog.

I think he will regret it also, but that is his choice and if he does regret it, sm
that will be his lesson to learn. He can always play next year, when he is a senior if he feels the desire.
I agree with the coach, but I will not make my child play a sport - that is his choice. I may not agree with it, but I have to give him the freedom to make his own choice on this one!
What branch?
MQGuy, which branch? Glad to hear someone's doing something about this rampant, annoying, dishonest problem.
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Geez - hopefully it's the "used to be" best branch starting with a "B".
I sure hope so - as I've all of a sudden noticed I'm not getting the worst of the worst, one after another, day in and day out. I still get the "bad" but at least there is a halfway "good" dictator in-between. I still question the discrepancy in the time of the dictation I receive, i.e. dictation from 1:18 am, 2:46 am, 2:57 am, 2:58 am, 9:02 am, 9:43 am. Still feel something is wrong with this picture! What happened to the hours between 3:00 am & 9:00 am? Have had dictation when I've logged on in the am from the night before at 9:17 pm, next dictation at 9:58 pm, then all of a sudden dictation from the next morning at 5:28 am. Lots of hours missing here! Questioned being assigned work - Denied! Anyone with a logical explanation that I'm not seeing here ? Anyhow - hopefully this new revelation is through my office and may change things. If not - I'll just keep reading the posts on who to apply for a new job with.

Will regret -sm
From the coach's point of view, I can tell you he will most likely regret this decision. As a coach, he has seen players quit their jr or sr year for various reasons (work, academics, girlfriends, etc.). There has not been one that has not come back to him to say that they regret quitting. Sometimes, you just have to make your children do things you know are good for them!
Go for it! You will never regret it! sm
I decided to work from home after my daughter was born. The first three months were tough, because I was adjusting to a new baby, recovering and trying to work part-time, but after those initial three months, it started to fall into place. I should have taken the three months off, but I was afraid that if I let the opportunity go by, it might not be available after my maternity leave. Fortunately, there are alot of companies out there with alot of good opportunities, so just enjoy your maternity leave and focus on yourself and your baby. That has been the only downside of working from home - figuring out the balance. My first priority is my kids, obviously, but I also want to turn in good work.
I now have four kids, 8, 6, 4 and 2. I work early mornings before they wake up and then at nap time. My older kids go to school in the day and my 2-year-old takes a two hour nap. Sometimes, if I don't work in the afternoon (like most of this summer since my older kids were off), I will finish up after they go to bed at night. I am very lucky in that I don't have set hours, just a line commitment per day.
This schedule totally works for us. I go to my kids' schools, see their sports, schedule their doctor's appointments, run errands or whatever, but the greatest advantage (other than being home in general with them) is the flexibility that if they ever need anything at a moment's notice, I am always around. Even when they are sick and just want me to sit with them all day, I can finish up when my husband comes home.
Sorry to ramble on, but I just wanted to say that it is totally doable and I have never once regretted it. I also average about $100 a day and like the poster below, could do more at night, but would rather spend the time with my children. I will put in more daytime hours when my youngest goes to school, but even then, I plan to never return to the office. I will never have the flexibility I have now and will have to deal with the office politics as well.
I say go for it. I hope you will be as happy as I am.
I'm probably going to regret this but...
The amount of money spent has absolutely nothing to do with quality of education in this country. It has to do with the overall liberalization of EVERYTHING over the last 40 years or so -- lack of discipline, everything-goes attitude (Heaven forbid we offend someone), etc. The education provided 60 years ago was off the charts compared to today and they did not have the technology, resources, or finances we now have. Most high school grads today could not pass a 5th grade English test from 60 years ago. Do some research and find out for yourself. We don't need more money for education. WE NEED QUALITY EDUCATORS -- maybe from those who have already made it in the real world and now do it as a passion and not those who can't do anything else. I won't even tackle Medicaid...

olive oil
I'm a big fan of olive oil but at 14 grams of fat per tablespoon, 4 tablespoons per 1/4 cup, that would be 64 grams of fat per day! That's a lot of fat even if its a healthy fat. How will that affect you in the long run.
olive oil
I use it in baking. I've found in muffins, cakes, cornbread, etc., if I use olive oil instead of regular oil or shortening I can use half of the amount called for and whatever I'm baking is always light and fluffy. I love it.
Thank you, Olive! :o)
I'm thankful for the review, as I have seen those advertise and there is one on craigslist. I should start saving up now for one I guess.
I hope you don't come to regret
your good heart. Why did the father just sit by and let his daughter continue to lie? He was ready to let her ruin you until he learned that you were able to prove his daughter was lying. If he really is remorseful, why did he not bring her over to apologize to you? How do you know any of what he told you was the truth? That little monster sounds like a bad seed. What's next? A false accusation of molestation? She got what she wanted from her lies--the excitement of being the center of attention and the thrill of causing all that chaos, with no apparent consequences. She has been essentially allowed to get away with it. How do you know she won't keep looking for more of the same? And--that remark she made about the dog being killed is just chilling. Not to mention her original cruel treatment of the poor puppy. That is the sign of a depraved heart. I'd keep her as far away from my family as possible. She's scary, and her father is either too cowardly to see her for what she is, or he doesn't care what she could do to others. At the very least, he should have made her confess and apologize to you. I'll be praying for you that nothing bad comes of your kind impulse. Please look out for yourself. Your kindness does you credit. It would be heartbreaking if you came to harm because of it.
Low grade olive oil is the best.
s
go for it....you won't regret making that call
theres no blessing in just thinking about doing good, ya gotta actually DO good...its like a calling, ya know.......
Take breaks, though! You'll regret it if you don't!

wonder if olive oil and a smatter of vinegar would
CMs are olive, brown or black - not in NC, but in SC - sm
look it up on Google and you will get some sites which show pictures. Maybe you can identify it that way.
I did Chapter 7 a year ago and I do not regret my decision..sm
I was in huge credit card debt and medical debt and after paying just the interest for years I decided bankruptcy was the best option. I have since cleaned up my credit, payed my bills on time, and bought a new car. I have no credit cards and no stress!! Sometimes bankruptcy is the best option. When people tell you that banktruptcy will ruin you and you will never get a house, car, loan, etc., it's not true! Sure your interest rate will be high for a while, but life does go on!
I've been using olive oil daily for the last 5 years
and my weight is stable and normal.
However, I don't use NEARLY a 1/4 cup! just a little on my salad or for cooking.
Patience is part of being a good MT. Do your own footwork. You won't regret it. nm

I turned down a hospital job to stay at home and regret it. sm
The hospital jobs are much more stable, and you have the same docs over and over. Even if they are ESL, at least you can get good at them. Take the hospital job - the PTO and benefits are worth it.
Blue on the walls, textured olive green carpet,
hydrangea sculptured border, olive green curtains I designed and made, 2 office chairs to give the ol' back a break, desk placed just so in order to be able to look out 2 different windows, 1-3 cats who come and stay as they please, and 1 little dog who never leaves the office unless I do. There are also the necessary things like a bookcase, printer, backup computer, nik-nacks and paddy wacks.
I am so completely blessed cause I have all this AND get paid! Who wouda thunk??
toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
not sure if the same, but I was taking olive leaf extract (a good brand) and felt great...
I wonder if that would be of the same benefit...just off for a few months because of money reasons! any health food store carries it, but, of course, you want a good one.
also, evening oil of primrose is great, still taking that because there was a sale on it...love it.
Seafood pasta and olive oil garlic sauce, red leaf salad, homemade bread with sun dried tomato
along with a big glass of white wine. MMMMMM
Yes, I realize
that especially consults are often dictated in letter form... just something you have to get used to if you are doing the big 4. I was referring to clinics who send out little notes to referring MDs, family members, insurance companies, patient jobs, etc., not hospital notes.
Yes you did, but you must realize that...
just because you couldn't/didn't succeed doesn't mean others won't do well. As someone else in this thread mentioned, if you couldn't handle indepedent study, you most likely could never handle working independently as an MT. So, in your case, it's probably a blessing that you couldn't cut the program. 
You do realize, do you not, that
this is just a story made up by TV writers? These are not real people. You do know that, don't you? None of it really matters. It's just a STORY.
I realize that
Of course I am blessed. I am blessed to do a job that I love as well! However, I just feel taken advantage of without a raise in five years... I guess I just never understood that. I've never had a "real" job so I guess I'll learn to deal with it.
I realize that..
Yes, they are busy people but come on now, when I cannot understand an allergy because my dictator is smacking through it and does not repeat it, I get a little irritated, especially when she does it almost daily. I just needed to vent this evening.
I'm sure you don't realize how....
insulting it is to those of us who have spent many, many years learning to be an MT when people ask us if they could do it so they can stay home with the kids or maybe earn some extra money. It's like someone asking if it would work for them to be an engineer because they like to look at pretty buildings. For some reason, people who have never done this seem to think all you have to do is sit down and type. As the "nice" poster said, it takes years of training and many more skills than being a fast typist. Most of us are just a little touchy about that attitude that anyone can do it. Even though that my not be your opinion, it came across that way in your question.
I realize this is going nowhere, but saying thanks
for a gift and throwing it away is not being thankful for the gift. Obviously if you were truly thankful for the gift, you wouldn't throw it away. I believe you would only throw a gift away if you felt it was a bad gift, which was the OPs contention in the first place.
Your mother is 100% right in saying you should be grateful for the things you have and receive, but there really is such a thing as a poor choice for a gift.
DUH! I didn't even realize there was one - thanks! nm
At least some people realize what they are and SM
don't have to hide behind some facade just to please inferior people.
Superiority is a threat to mediocrity.
Just because someone is not a sheep and does not follow the crowd makes some sheep nervous!
Thanks!!! I didn't even realize that I could
do that. Duh! You've made my day!!
aww...your makin me cry...i realize that tho..
and i thank god everyday that he gave me the gift to type and work hard to be able to be home with them...instead of them being off in some daycare 40+ hours a week...i take it back...
My DH is starting to realize that I just....(sm)
might not stick around for much more of his stuff. I know that won't change him though. I just know it...
Hopefully docs will realize
that their time is better spent seeing more patients than doing data entry..glad that your docs realized this. I had one lone hold-out who refuses to do the clerical entry... but doesn't dictate either... still writes ShortHand notes in charts....Ugh!
Sorry - did not realize I was not allowed to do that. Really, sorry..nm
nm
they don't realize anything...don't care to!
Have really had it with this job.....tired of the whole deal. To think I spent thousands of dollar in schooling, thousands of hours studying, thousands of hours in experience to come to the point where I wish I would have never gotten into this field! Alas and alack, must push on...and the docs just don't give one hoot!
OK. I didn't realize that. nm
x
Actually, I did not realize that, but I am glad
xx
Thanks, yes, I do realize I make ...
... mistakes, too. I'm far from perfect! This just goes against my grain, I've stated the reasons in the original post, and I'm not happy at all working there.
They pay $3.50 per report. Some are short procedures and others longer initial evals that take me 20-25 minutes, so it might even out in the end--I've only been doing this a month or so. This is a good part-time job, but I need another job where I feel appreciated and not referred to as the "typist." Someone mentioned spelling out conditions in the contract and that is a good idea.
Thanks to all--
Yes it was due to depression and I realize that....
How cruel you are. I AM not a crack addict - I have NEVER done drugs. I don't drink. I don't even smoke. I do have a child that was involved in this tragedy. Actually I had two - the one that I lost. So I am sorry if I was "weak" for the tragedies that I did go through but I am learning to cope with life. Life is hard and apparently it is sunshiney everyday at your house - and good for you - I don't want to wish anything bad on anyone - even when they have no lack of respect for others. You should watch what you say - things could turn around on you in your happy life in an instant - and then what would you do. Would you be considered lazy, worthless or something else that is an undeserving gesture of who you really are? Maybe someone will say "they are just on crack - they deserve what they are getting. Maybe that just goes to show what laziness will do to you. They don't deserve anything better." I was not asking for sympathy. I was pointing out how fast things CAN turn around when you are off track. Merely using my fall to try to prevent someone else's.
I do thank all of the wonderful remarks prior to the rude post. I am healing but it takes times. I am actually able to get up and not be sad about what I have lost and I have been able to THANK GOD every day for letting me grow through certain things in my life and that I know they happened for a reason. The reason will be a brighter future!
Didn't even realize JLG was still around! nm

They must realize that better pay often means
And also that what's been going on in the MT biz for the past 10 or so years is morally reprehensible. Good for him! He's one of the FEW good-guys out there.
you need to realize your role, hon
a career you can obtain education for through correspondence schools?? You must be joking if you think you should make more than that. Apply for a promotion if you want more $$$$.
You realize what my next question is, don't you?
Is that company hiring? LOL
Not all companies use VR. Many realize
it's a risk to patient safety as flawed as it is.
