Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore. I get one every year for Barnes and Noble and it's my favorite gift. If I don't feel like going out, I can order what I want on the net with the card.

She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
GIFT CARD
It is a slap in the face! What is $5 going to buy you at Wal-Mart? They could have sent you at least $25. They should be ashamed.
The card should have been given as gift cards for grocery stores, etc.

Years ago, I used to get a $25 gift card from the hospital I worked for.
I haven't gotten so much as a card in recent years.
You could have a bigger gift delivered to their home, too, and just put a note in the card. How

My siblings and hubby and his siblings started doing this a few years ago and they were a big hit. We also used to buy my grandparents gift certificates to the local grocery store and they would use them to buy treats form themselves, things they wouldn't ordinarily buy for themselves. Hope this helps.

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.
Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they
can be used anywhere a credit card can be used.
your post reads
to me as though you are an experienced MT who is looking to stay in the field, but would be interested in the other positions you mention, but that you do not have experience in the said other positions.
That may not be how the poster who responded to your original message read it and it may not be the case, but, generally speaking, when someone wants to break into something they do not have experience with that something. 
I do believe the administrator reads most of these posts if not all.
So in fact I believe I was addressing the administrator letting her know my opinion as well. Don't get your panties in a wad over a harmless suggestion to skip something, I won't be continuing this nonsensical conversation any longer, enough said. See ya.
I disagree with both of these and hope the OP reads this too.
CHRIST can change a life, I have no doubt of that. You sound like you really want this to work, and in time you'll find if your husband is being honest or not. I think it's a great thing that you're willing to change religions to accommodate your relationship. Seek out a church together where you can both be happy and fellowship and worship together (i.e., Methodist, Baptist, Assembly of God, etc). Try one for a few weeks, then check out another. Talk to people in your area about where they go to church, what it has to offer, etc. Find the right fit your both of you. I pray your husband is willing, because it will make your connection stronger. He needs counseling, that's for sure. If he truly is repentant and doesn't want to have this happen again, he will. Forgiveness should be available if he's truly sorry for the life he's put you through. BUT, if he hits you again after saying he won't RUN. You and your kids deserve a better life than this and you truly sound like you've pretty much had all the responsibility up til this point, so you can do it. God bless.
oh, okay... I hope someone reads your post
You might want to try posting on the state boards also. They don't seem to be too popular, but its worth a try. Maybe you can call around other satellite hospitals and ask? Sorry your having problems.
If you are an IC & your contract reads like an employee
treated as an employee you can also contact the Labor Board.
Very well written - hope he reads it! nm
agree- hope the OP reads your post
Sisters may be reaching out in a friendly way and to rebuff that would be sad. Even though forwards are irritating, I think most people agree, some are informative and some are good for a smile anyway
It reads like a response to a prayer request.
I will keep your thoughts in mind...
Would you be willing to transfer what the letter reads to this site? I just went to the mailbox and

Poll- who reads/proofs reports after typing?
do you quickly glance at the report, read it word-for-word, or just cross your fingers and hope you didn't miss anything?
I'm just curious.
Oh he reads this board alright. I used to post my e-mail in my posts.
I use to post on the offshore board a lot. He took the liberty of writing me and telling me his opinion several times. I finally just blocked his e-mail. He reads here.
If the receipient declines to acknowledge receipt but reads the email,
saying that is what happened, so either way, you know the person got and read it.
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
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.

I just sent a gift of food from Popcorn Factory. Will arrive the 19th. I appreciate who I work for. very much.

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.

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?
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....
