I served it with biscuits and veggies.
Made the broth gravy and so it went well with the biscuits.
Have you had the frozen Mary B's biscuits?
nm
Breakfast...bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy!

Yes, I've tried it. It's very sweet, almost too sweet. sm
And it does cost a little more, but I should really use that for my coffee. Thanks for reminding me!
Creamy chicken and veggies with pasta and homemade biscuits...

Yes I qualify
He owns the home we currently live in, that is why I have to move. :0)
Yes it will help to use RE taxes at the end of the year. Thanks.
If you qualify for financial aid
You might want to consider looking into EVCC. It is a community college that uses the Career Step courseware, but you have instructors and accept Pell Grants and Stafford Loans.
EVCC grads get the same consideration from employers as Career Step grads.
If you can get the work to qualify for the
benefits. You pretty much have to work when there is work even though you have a set schedule. Not sure about LD. I know a few they have and a few they haven't. As far as management, there is a lot to be desired.
I'd look elsewhere. Transtech was hiring for Radiology and I hear they are a good company.
If you like to be treated like crap and fight for work, WELCOME TO MDI!
If you feel they need, they qualify. nm
You may qualify for unemployment, but...
You can not draw unemployment and go back to college. You have to be available and read to work, even if the employment commission finds you a job. Going back to college would stop your payments immediately I'm afraid.
There must be other jobs we would qualify for with
our experience as medical transcriptionists. Any ideas on what other jobs might be out there, or we could possibly take some course and land another type of position. I would love to know in what direction to move since the inevitable is all over the place, that we will all be unemployed at some point. Even though Editor jobs are still available, that will come to an end sooner or later too. We have to prepare ourselves now for the future. I predict in about 5 years our job will be extinct. Let's put our heads together and come up with a solution to find other employment with our skills.
Remember that in order to qualify with the IRS...sm
for a home office deduction you have to meet the following criteria. Don't overdecorate or they may get you...
Do You Have a Deductible Home Office? |
|
Tax 2005-54, March 17, 2005
Whether you are self-employed or an employee, if you use a portion of your home exclusively and regularly for business purposes, you may be able to take a home office deduction.
You can deduct certain expenses if your home office is the principal place where your trade or business is conducted or where you meet and deal with clients or patients in the course of your business. If you use a separate structure not attached to your home for an exclusive and regular part of your business, you can deduct expenses related to it.
Your home office will qualify as your principal place of business if you use it exclusively and regularly for the administrative or management activities associated with your trade or business. There must be no other fixed place where you conduct substantial administrative or management activities. If you use both your home and other locations regularly in your business, you must determine which location is your principle place of business, based on the relative importance of the activities performed at each location. If the relative importance factor doesn't determine your principle place of business, you can also consider the time spent at each location.
If you are an employee, you have additional requirements to meet. You cannot take the home office deduction unless the business use of your home is for the convenience of your employer. Also, you cannot take deductions for space you are renting to your employer.
Generally, the amount you can deduct depends on the percentage of your home used for business. Your deduction will be limited if your gross income from your business is less than your total business expenses.
Expenses that you can deduct for business use of the home may include the business portion of real estate taxes, mortgage interest, rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, painting and repairs. However, you may not deduct expenses for lawn care or those related to rooms not used for business.
There are special rules for qualified daycare providers and for persons storing business inventory or product samples.
For more information, see IRS Publication 587, Business Use of Your Home.
If you are self-employed, use Form 8829, Expenses for Business Use of Your Home, to figure your home office deduction and report those deductions on line 30 of Schedule C, Form 1040. Employees can use the worksheet in Pub. 587 to figure their allowable expenses and claim them as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A, Form 1040.
To be on the safe side, you may also want to review IRS Publication 4035, Home-Based Business Tax Avoidance Schemes, which describes schemes that claim to offer tax relief but which actually result in illegal tax avoidance.
IRS publications and forms are available on this Web site or by calling the IRS at 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

So this does qualify as continuous coverage, right? Thanks for your help. NM
sss
Changing shift and cut in pay both qualify as material changes, but . . .
it is super hard to draw unemployment for these reasons. My state has pretty much the same rule, but even after being forced to change job duties (MT to computer programming), go back to working in house (45 minute drive), go from second to first shift, and put my child in day care (at my old hospital job), I couldn't draw unemployment because I quit.
Which companies allow you to work under 40 hours and still qualify for benefits?
Thanks for any and all help. 
If you have the Works Suite you qualify for the upgrade version.
I just recently bought the Small Business version upgrade with Word 2003 (the computer came with Works Suite)for my new computer. It still has Windows XP. I have Word 2002 with Works Suite on my other computer. I am thinking about getting the Student Teacher edition for my other computer and my mom's computer, as it can be put on 3 computers. My license with the Small Business upgrade says one computer only. I was a little disappointed about this, as I wanted to put in on both computers. I thought I could use it on both as long as I personally used both of them, but not at the same time.
can you not work 6 hours a day and still qualify for full time? sm
i know most places it is usually 30 or 32 hours constitute full time. if it is 30 hours, then you could do 6 hour days 5 days a week and get in 30. is there a possibility you could do a split shift and that would allow your feet and you rest time between shifts? guess no possibility of working from home, LOL. i definitely understand your frustrations. sometimes the good employees get the short end of the stick cuz they need you the most.
I think you qualify - as long as you can remember using white out. Those little strips of chalky
 paper better yet.
Breakfast sausage in white gravy over canned biscuits... MMMmmm! Biskits and gravy!
Now that's sweet!
You're raising a good bunch of kids! As an Air Force mother, I say thank you for thinking of our boys!! Tell your girls how much it means to us. 
That was so sweet of you. Again, I am so sorry
for all this pain, and so sorry for your sons. Absolutely horrifying experience, and absolutely no other way to word it.  But, time does help. I know that's so corny, but it does. I understand crushing pain. I have 2 way older siblings. My Mom had me after she thought she had menopause - a late in life baby? Well, my siblings were so jealous of me since my conception, I guess. Long story short, it was like we were 2 separate families, but I was the one who stayed close by and took care of my parents when they were elderly. One day my mom had a stroke and was taken to the hospital. Did my Dad call me? No. First time in his life he went to the older 2. They had planned this, or plotted it, and told my Dad NOT to call me. No reason, just don't. He is very old and feeble in his 90s, so he obeyed them. Long story short, my mom died a hideous death - her primary said she would have recovered probably back to 80%, but my siblings wanted her dead. They refused all supportive care and they shipped her to a nursing home. MY FRIENDS worked at the hospital, and I'm surprised I didn't transcribe her report, as its my account, too. But nobody could call me do to HIPPA. In the meanwhile, when I spoke to my Dad, he just acted like my mom was resting and all was fine. My sister gladly called me, all giggling, when my mom was dead and even CREMATED. Not my mom's wishes. She never had a funeral even, no obituary. And she was a nice mom. Did not deserve that. At least she had a plot, and some stranger with a shovel buried her sometime in the winter - 3 months after her death. Wow! All this to say, I know pain and shock as well, and time does heal. I was in a shock-like state for about a year, and then it started to clear. Now its been 5 years, and I can talk about it. So, talk, talk, talk. Its good to talk about it. And, yes, my husband and I have had very dear friends and relatives take their own lives. Over 20 years ago now, and its still sad, but not as painful. One thing for sure - I will always be thinking about you guys, and wishing you well.
How sweet!!
When we got "Lolli," our Pomeranian, she weighed a mere 1.25 pounds. Just a black puff of fir and the sweetest little thing. The vet told us to feed her Gerber baby food, which we did. I used to love to get her all the beef, chicken, and veal dishes, with the little chicken sticks and blueberry buckle for dessert! Boy did that little girl like to chow down!
But chicuhas's (sp) are my FAVORITE little dog. I used to have a precious female short-haired teacup whom I named Consuela Conchita D'Alfina. What a baby!
wow, that is sweet! (nm)

Sweet!
KS and TM, you are both very sweet.....
I was actually so upset by the posters below that I broke out in hives!!! Can you imagine???
I have been struggling to switch to Word from DQS and Word Perfect. I have been reading Windows for Dummies. I have been searching through the Word Help Index, etc., etc. I have been struggling to make some kind of line count that adds up to over $7 an hour during this "learning" process. I thought for sure I could post a quick question and get a short and quick answer to help me along but I guess not. The last thing I needed today was someone trying to teach me to fish or trying to teach me how to do proper research. I KNOW how to research, it was not working for me fast enough, and I just needed a quick short cut.
I do believe * what comes around..... * and I believe you two will get good things in short order.
BTW, the short, to the point instructions JAM emailed me - i have been using over and over this evening and have been saved SO MUCH time and aggravation, as opposed to Ctl-Delete for every word I want removed! Blessings on her/him also.
See URL. This is sweet.

I have a lady doc who always ends with "have a blessed day." I think it's nice.
Sweet!
I've been holding off getting one until I had confirmation that one actually worked! :-)

Wow, that's so sweet of you!
I wish I could apply for unemployment but independent contractors don't qualify. My status was IC for the past four years. Hope you find something soon, too! I did wind up going back to school to become a teacher, but I still need a steady income until I graduate in a year. Something will kick loose soon.
yes she is sweet, isn't she?
change of pace from the arguments
Thank you, how sweet!
It is now 9:15 and system still down. I hope it's not going to be much longer . . . . . .
I saw a very sweet documentary....
the other night about chickens. One of the segments was about a man who had installed about 250 roosters on his property, presumably for cock fighting. Anyway the racket the roosters made all throughout the day was deafening and driving his neighbors (none too close, as this was a rural area in Ohio I think). Finally all the residents of this area took the guy to court and got a court order for him to remove the roosters. Maybe a lawsuit is the way to get rid of the yapping dog problem!
awww!! How sweet! (sm)
I only wish I would write half as eloquent a post praising good QA personnel.
I work on a platform now where I can easily and quickly go back and listen to my blanks after completing the report just to see if they are any more clear. It's incredible what I can actually fill in on some of the more difficult dictators when I'm at the end and the voice characteristics are more familiar. However, before this platform, who knows what kind of blanks I left!!
I'm sure QA likes me more now LOL.
You are very kind to take the time to post this. We all appreciate it!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm starting a long night/morning shift in ESL-land! ;-)
Thank you again!
That was really sweet, Wannie.

Kids are sweet!
Three of my grandkids were here to spend a week with us. They are ages 9, 6, and 4. I had forgotten how earnest they are at that age, how sweet & sincere. They argued over who got to help me open the gate to our driveway when we went out (we live in the boonies). We ended up taking turns.
A conversation with the 6 y/o: "Grandma? This is funny, right? You know James? In my class? He brought Cheetos and I brought Fritos. Get it? Cheetos & Fritos? That's funny, right?"
I am trying to enjoy them as much as I can before they get to that teenage, who-wants-to-go-to-grandma's phase.
Awww..thanks. That's sweet.
I already got hugs a plenty from my hubby. I don't go that way, but thanks for the sentiment. :::smooches:::
LOL, that's sweet! You reminded me of
a dictation I had today. This radiologist was talking like he was gushing love all through his transvaginal ultrasound report. I had to ask myself if this dictation was for real (hadn't transcribed for him before)! Then, his next dictation was all gushy too, and it was a renal ultrasound on a man, so what a treat, huh?!!! I can actually type really fast to it!
Enjoy your sweetie!
BTW, I love it when the beagle (John J) snuggles by me on the floor and the cat (Buster) tries to lay across my two arms while I'm typing!
That was sweet, thanks. I am a caretaker
have been all my life. I've been taking care of a dying grandmother and after her a dying mother and after her a father with Alzheimer's who finally passed away. My friends disappeared and so did my siblings as they didn't feel like they had the time to give. I have become isolated, have no outside contacts, and am just learning to take care of myself now.
I'm much better today, trying to bake and clean in preparation for Thanksgiving.
How sweet...this is my story
I met my husband through a neighbor actually. I used to think I'd never get married and I always said that "if I didn't meet somebody between my house and my car and my car and job, etc. that I'd never meet them" (always busy at work or school, no social life).
Well, my neighbor used to babysit for my husband who was divorced and whose wife had hired my neighbor to babysit and he would come to pick up the kids when he got off work. He says he saw me getting out of my car one day and going into my house from work and noticed me and he says he knew we would be together from that moment. I myself recall noticing him in his car as I drove past him one day and I thought "who is that?!" My defining moment would come later.
After I met him through the neighbor, our children kept trying to play matchmaker and bugging each of us to ask the other out. I refused and I heard through the kids (my son and his son and daughter) that he had said that he is too shy, yada yada yada, and I thought oh brother can't these kids give it a rest already this guy doesn't want to go out with me. As time went on, we finally did meet (neighbor playing matchmaker) and spent an evening playing cards at the neighbor's house and I thought I'd probably like to go out with him as he seemed really nice and we had a lot in common but when he called to ask me out a week or so later to the movies I already had plans (with my mother to go shopping) and when I called him later to invite him to a Christmas party for my job he already had plans with his children so I started to think a date would never happen. However, right after that, on New Year's Day I awoke to a pounding on my door. Being Saturday, I didn't feel like getting up and answering the door. Embarrassingly enough, I was going through some tough times as single parent financially and thought it was probably a bill collector or something and I didn't want to deal with it. Later in the day, I left the house to run an errand and only when I returned I noticed a tag hanging on my porch railing. It was from a florist. So this is who had been knocking at the door...hmmm... I thought it was certainly from one of my sisters. I called the florist and told them I was home so they could deliver and out of curiosity asked who the delivery was from. I almost fell over when they said his name. Here comes a dozen roses with a card that says "Wishing You a Happy New Year". I called my sister and told her "I'm going to marry this man!" I can't explain it well here obviously but I just felt overwhelmed by that gesture and somehow certain we would be together. To make a long story short, we have been together for 7 years now and though only married for 3 we felt as though we were married from the very start. I just felt talking to him that I had known him somehow from before...it was like he comprised all the best attributes and aspects from each man individually that I had ever seriously been involved with before and it was all rolled into 1 person (vs. 1 nice thing about this guy and 1 nice thing about that guy)...almost as if I could see looking back little bits of him in each of the guys I had dated before and I like to think that it was those things that reminded me of him (when I didn't even know him yet) that attracted me to those people in the first place but they weren't him and I had been searching for him all along if any of that makes any sense at all. I am an old romantic. He is the sweetest soul I've ever met and he is my best friend I can honestly say.
I know this is boringly long but the bottom line is that I do believe in soul mates and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were meant to be together. It is astonishing how many things had to fall into place for him and I to be in the right place at the right time for our paths to cross and I feel it was fate. I truly did in a way find the man of my dreams in a sense between my house and my car (when I first noticed him and he noticed me  )...God does have a sense of humor!!!
Not the OP, but he seems like such a sweet fellow.

You bet your sweet bippy they do! nm

Thank you, Bonnie. :) You are sweet.

How sweet was that!!! See ya in 2008!!...sm
Ok - cyber daughter!!! I just saw this post as I was not online yesterday (3/16). GO HILL !!!! *wink* Have a GREAT weekend!!!!!
You too!! What a sweet note! Thank you.
thanks - how sweet!!! - back then....sm
I believe that we are re-plagued again because of a lack of handwashing in this country. Just my take as a mom....and I remember my grandmothers and my mother always making us wash our hands multiple times a day. I do come from good genes, my father looked 20 years younger than he actually was, and people tell me I look 10 years younger than I am. *love it* *lol*
You take good care and thanks again for the great website which I have forwarded onto my daughter!!
sweet dreams, because
at MQ if an MT has a base rate of 10 cpl then she gets 80% of that for ME, 8 cpl. AND, I might add, there are some MTs who make *more* than 10 cpl.............
What a sweet story... sm
Mine was applying at a local (small hospital) to be a clerk fresh out of vo-tech. On my interview, the HR lady says to me that she had a Transcriptionist job available. I said oh no, I didn't do very well in school with that and that I was really insecure. My teacher used to put a piece of paper over my typewriter keys so that I would not look down at them, but would rather I looked at my practice set book. She says it pays more, so I said I'd give it a whirl. Of course, I had to take a typing test, but passed that and I have never looked back. That was 18 years ago. Still going strong, and I do darn good. I love it. It can be done with determination.
Oh aren't you sweet!
I do my own brand of "redneck" venting...I go outside and split a few pieces of wood and do ESL impersonations...and yeah, it can be midnight or 6 a.m. or anytime in between when I do this. My neighbors must think I'm on crack.
Thanks for the very sweet offer though--it truly is appreciated!
The short and sweet of it, you get what you pay for.
p
Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
All is write with the world now.
Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
