I have to rank in the top ten of Internet shoppers. I have bought more at Amazon.com than most people buy at Wal-Mart. My credit card company sends an end-of-year statement that looks like a booklet! I have never had any problems with Amazon.com. I've bought, books, DVDs, videos, appliances, toys, furniture, you name it. I've never had a shipping problem, and if I had to return anything there were no problems. The only things I haven't bought at Amazon is clothes and perishable items. I have bought clothing and things from Eddie Bauer with no problems.... And then there's all those specialty shops! Bath and Body Works has finally gone to internet shopping! Anyway, you get the idea. Happy clicking!

Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
Shopping for me.

Try shopping around
There are a lot of lenders out there that will finance less than perfect credit. There is a lender who can probably give you a higher interest rate, then within the next couple years, get your credit score cleaned up (there are lots of tips on how to do that on the internet) and refinance to get a better rate as soon as you can get your score up. Be careful paying anything off that is on your credit report if it is getting ready to come off. That will leave it on there for a longer time. Get on the internet and read about your credit score and what you can do.
Sorry, that should be: No shopping FOR me, but....

shopping
Don't you always have that ONE gift that you have to search high and low for? Well, that's me today! An oriental rug (with particular colors of course!) for my brother's new house! Especially here in Texas where is it 68 degrees, it's hard to get in the spirit!
SUV shopping
We are going to start shopping for a used SUV, less than 20K, probably 2003 to 2005 depending on model. Leaning towards Ford or GM models, mid size, but right now open to most anything.
Can any of you who own SUVs comment on what you own and what you like/dislike about it? TIA :)
Shopping around...
Hi Everyone...I am new to this board and would like some advice from experienced MT's out there! I have been working for a company for the past three years and things aren't quite panning out to my satifaction lately. I'm thinking of applying for other jobs with more benefits. Here's my question - What do you guys do when you aren't happy with your present employment? Do you list your current employer on your resume? Okay....What I'm getting at is this >>>>Will my present employer be contacted for a reference check, etc. should I be considered for another job?
Any help would be appreciated...Thanks!
Shopping for my home.
Need some bargains that end of summer brings.
school shopping w/my 14 YOD
I think I'd rather be working!!!  this is me at the mall w/her!!! Looking at the same pair of jeans for the 100th time, trying to decide if she likes them!!!
shopping at Wal-Mart
Our Wal-Mart Superstore is supposed to be ready by October and it is only 20 blocks from my house. It has been open for about five years and now they are turning it into a superstore. Im ready. I know some of my political friends ask how could I shop there as they dont have benefits for their employees, LOLOLOL, heck, my trans company does not provide me with any benefits either..so, sure I feel the employees pain but I need to provide for my family and that comes first..I cant wait till Wal-Mart Superstore opens, then I can do my grocery and department store shopping all at once while my car is being serviced in their automotive area.
Thanks! I do most of my Christmas shopping
Love the fact that I can work and shop at the same time! And it's all delivered to me!
on-line shopping
Just curious about on-line shopping. What are the best on-line stores to shop in -- any opinions? I'm talking clothes for teenagers, accessories, books, DVDs, etc.
No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

secret shopping
Have you found any shops that will pay you more than $10.00 or less? I haven't!
My husband usually does the shopping
I do remember from several years back that local grocery stores would not allow their employees to accept tips because they were paid at least minimum wage already. This seemed unusual to me as I grew up in a military household, and on base (Eglin A.F.B.), the baggers there worked for tips only.
mortgage shopping
Hi, this board is so helpful regarding so many different things, I thought I'd ask about my current dilema. Just sold my home in SE New Mexico, moving to Albuquerque. Obviously a site built home is the easiest one to get a mortgage for at low interest rates (I have excellent credit), but because of the cost I'm also looking at manufactured/mobile homes on their own land and in a park. This is just for me and my dog, so I don't need anything large anyway. Does anyone have any advice regarding buying a modular/mobile home as I have never owned one before? Thank you for any thoughts you might have regarding this.
Shopping for new carpet but not sure
I have 4 animals so it would have to be durable. My budget does not allow for anything but carpet and the one I have has had it.
Can anyone suggest an attractive yet durable carpet? I also wonder about the glue and will there be fumes?
Thank you for your time.
One Word - SHOPPING!!!!!
An when the weather permits - beachin' it!  Luvin' that IC status, or take a PTO day just for sanity to rejuv and get in a new groove!  Spring is here! Have some friends over, let your hair down...  You'll be surprised how great you feel! JMO. 
My best friend and I are going Christmas shopping....
I'm getting as many gifts as I can put on layaway this weekend. I am determined to finish early this year so I can enjoy the holiday. After shopping, we are going to dinner and mabye a movie. 
I met him walking around downtown shopping..sm
basically on the "street corner" waiting for the light to change to walk across the street. He just started talking to me...and now we are hitched.
Who had fun shopping on "Black Friday"? - I did - sm
but I go without a "toy" agenda (did my toy shopping Monday and Tuesday so I had everything I wanted already), just go to get my kids and husband clothes mainly at great prices and to have fun with the kids--continuing the "tradition" that I had with my mom. Got myself a 1 GB Verbatin "Store 'n Go" since my zip disks are dying, $40 (reg. price $90), another great deal! I bought my DH 4 good dress shirts normally $136, for $62, can't beat that. Kohl's was packed so unfortunately did not get anything there like I would have liked to, the line was halfway to the back of the store but Sears and Penney's were fine, stood in line for 10 minutes tops, can live with that. Well off to do some work now......luckily not too tired to bang out 40 minutes or so. Have a good weekend! 
Shopping - yes, making gifts - no
I still have pictures to frame and pillows to finish sewing and stuffing.
Absolutely not. I took today off so I can get my shopping done.
It's also been 50 degrees here with no snow and no money, so I'm not in the mood for Christmas. We've all got viral respiratory infections. I had maybe three hours of sleep last night. I have no idea what anybody wants or needs. Time to go spend my stash of gift cards and coupons on people. Next year, I'm going to do it right. Are you sorry you asked? ;D
Just found out they are here local! Going shopping nt

what is a "hacker-free" shopping site? nm
nm
a shopping site free of hackers maybe?
Okay shopping for a house and I found new construction.
The name of the street is Wild Turkey Walk. I refuse to buy a house on Wild Turkey Walk. Another street is Squirrel Run. How does a person come up with these names? I want the job of naming streets in new subdivisions. Has anyone been shopping for houses, new or old, and refused to live on a silly named street?
I agree - no shopping for me on BF. I will go next week or 2 or on line. nm

OOPS - meant 15 minutes FROM shopping.

Are all those "hacker-free" shopping sites relatively safe? nm

I LOVE shopping for clothes at resale stores
I find fashionable, barely worn, name brand clothes. It really is fun!! I couldn't imagine paying for new clothes anymore!
It's a little harder to find good kids' clothes at the second hand stores, but I have found some really nice ones that are real bargains.
Pole (North): Have U finished ur Christmas shopping?
I'll start: NO!
I give once a day if shopping and don't bother explaining if I gave elsewhere. nm

Oops... meant search all, not sears all.... too much shopping last weekend!

I hate shopping. I do mine on-line and avoid the annoying crowds.

I've been shopping around for some fingerless gloves to wear while typing. My hands get very SM
VERY when I'm typing, especially in the fall and winter months. I've tried the the carpal tunnel gloves an they just drive me nuts. I really just need something soft and warm so my hands stay warm. Any suggestions? I've been looking at the Wristies website and I've about decided to buy a pair, but I wanted to get some opinions. Anyone use Wristies? How do like them?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I have to take numerous breaks throughout the day to warm up my hands and it's really irritating.
Thanks!
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working
that holiday you refuse to work? Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?
Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.
Someone has to do it!
Look it up on the internet
There is all kinds of information for dealing with bipolar people. One thing you probably shouldn't do is inform someone, ANYone, that "there is something wrong in their thinking." How do you know? Are they a friend, acquaintance, coworker? Are you concerned or are they merely interfering with YOUR life?
Much depends on where this person fits into your reality.
Internet
I'm tired - it should say internet. My bad.
If you have DSL internet - please
Please be sure and tell them when then install you!! This is very important because sometimes the DSL can interfere if not connected properly and you will be without protection.
Internet
I would not pay the home office internet price unless they offer something incredible, for example, guaranteedd 24/7 service. My cable internet company wanted me to switch over to business and when I asked what the difference in services was between paying 39.99 per month and 80.00 per month, I was told I would get first priority on service visits. Really, I just kind of laughed at the guy...they wanted me to pay twice as much for a quicker service call (BTW, an average wait for a service call is 24 hours or so anyway).
Anyway, I would not even mention the office use; residential use is the same thing.
Good luck.. Jamie
Internet
Funny you should say that. I have Roadrunner and I was down totally for about 3 hours. I had to reboot my modem in order to get back on.
internet
My husband works for Sprint. They are starting up wireless internet where are you do is plug in the card and you get fast speed internet connection. Some areas have it incorporated already.
I have att&t internet
I can't really complain about the service. I have lost internet service with them twice since last June. It takes maybe a half day to whole day to get it back up. So you lose a day's work pretty much. I was not happy at all the two times I lost service. When the service was down they did not answer phone calls just put on a recording so I couldn't find out when the service would be back on. That made me angry. You set it up yourself. I think they will come set it up for you but I believe they charge. I did mine myself and it really is simple. They send you a disc that walks you through the setup. Basically like installing software on your computer. Besides those two instances I have been very happy with my service. I have actually had less problems with them than any other previous service providers. And when the service was down the next day they emailed an apology saying how very sorry they were for the inconvenience. All in all I am happy.
