the USPS supplies boxes and supplies free of charge..but you have to "order" it sm
by phone.  I'll see if I can find it.  What is sent to soldiers is what is allowed by military protocol..beef jerky would not be allowed in a country that considers beef sacred.  They (military) strongly enforce being considerate of the countrys culture.  within those guidelines, send anything..if the recipient does not want it..it goes on a public area and free for all to share..they love doing it too.
Have you thought about ad agencies? sm
copywriters make good money -and with a health care background (i.e. MT), there are agencies that specialize in that and you could market yourself quite easily I would think. I have a journalism degree and used to do copywriting (made excellent money at it), but wanted to stay home and raise my kids so went the MT route (with no regrets BTW). Look in the Sunday papers for Advertising, Marketing, Health Care, etc. Good luck!
Wonder if many agencies do that...that is really great!

There are regulatory agencies
that the hospital cannot get around.  You should have reported it to someone outside of the hospital.  If you had lost your job you would have owned the hospital.  What happened to you is exactly why the agencies are in place.  They might mess with you through an arbitration hearing at the hospital but falsifying medical records will get a hospital doors shut faster than they know what to do with.  You have to act on it right away though you can't wait years after the fact to try to do something about it.  I worked in Hospital QA/Risk Management, Outpatient QA and medical staff credentialing...every single one of those departments were required by law and the regulatory agencies (think JCAHO, Medicare, etc.) to take action or pay the price when they did not correct the problem.
No to tax relief agencies. Depending sm
on your situation, you can do this yourself through an offer in compromise. Most are a scam or a ruse to flush out people who do not pay taxes. I answered an ad on TV for NADN for help with taxes, and ended up with someone from the Treasury Department at my front door. That was just the beginning of my nightmare.
Collections Agencies (nonpaying doctor)
Can anybody recommend a collections agency? I have a nonpaying doc, in another state, but there are so many agencies out there that I just don't know who to go with.

If anybody has a recommendation, I would appreciate it.
Many local hosp and agencies are starting to pay attention
The hospital I work at has started classes and counseling and support groups for adult children who are primary caregivers for elderly adults. If you can find some local social service agencies who have these kinds of programs, many of them can put your mom on some kind of state aid for her health care, help you with paperwork, and provide an occasional "atta girl" and some smiling, supportive faces. Sounds like your sibs aren't there for you. You mom could even qualify for some adult day care, which opens up SO much communication about resources and help. Please think about searching this out. I'm sure your husband and child need you terribly, and you should not bear this financial burden alone. Check with a social services department at a local hospital, and KEEP PUSHING IF YOU DON'T GET IMMEDIATE RESPONSE> Some of these places are so busy. But find and knock and push to find some answers to take the strain off you, and your mom. There are resources out there for you! You aren't alone, but it doesn't get better for you, till you FIND them.

You'll just have to ignore your siblings. They don't sound like they're worth much.
Day Labor/ Temp Agencies/pizza delivery
You only asked for meal advice.. I just wanted to tell you about these places in case you didn't know. Every city usually has several "day labor" companies. Your dh would have to arrive around 5-6 am, they would take him to a site all day. They usually pay the same day. He would need is license and ss card.
Most temp agencies have jobs immediately available too.

Another idea is to deliver pizza at night. He could still do real estate during the day. He would get cash right away. They pay for gas mileage, at least minimum wage, he would get tips, and PIZZA! :-)

Webmedx supplies all equipment. They do have a (sm)
pretty high ratio of ESLs, but the QA is really good here. They DO NOT penalize for blanks or sending reports to QA. I don't know about family insurance, but single is very reasonable, BCBS. They also offer dental and vision.
When worked in clinic, Dr. supplies everything

Supplies and driving to and from, time printing - no less than .12 cpl.
Why is it that court reports are so well respected and their pay never an issue?

I feel like I am stealing when I ask to be compensated for my knowledge, experience and reliability. It is basically the same work, one is in legal field and one in medical field. What is up with that????

Keep in mind that if gas supplies are low, how will trucks get their loads to the store.
It's a good idea to stock up now. We went to Sam's Club tonight. Bought 25 pounds of sugar, 10 pounds of flour, 10 pounds of beans, 4 large jars of peanut butter, canned tuna and chicken, powdered milk, etc. If those damaged pipelines aren't put back on line fast, there may be shortages.

Just be sure to buy things your family will actually eat. Don't forget to store water. Prep as if you're expecting to be off the grid for a month or more.

To learn more about prepping, Google "survival."
Power supplies are Dell proprietary and must be purchased from
power supply is the same way.  I have 3 Dell laptops and a Dell PC and there are indeed a number of items that are proprietary.  However, I love all of my Dell products and wouldn't trade them for anything.
This is hard to do when the co. supplies the computer. Got it finally, now is he updating and getti
Unless we are transcribing, we are losing money. This is why a relative decent line rate is not asking for a lot, I believe.

I do think we should all have a savings account though. I have 17 hours of PTO that I am going to cash in.

DOH!
Sometimes find decals for this in office supplies. OW, just use Magic Marker. nm

True but that is to cover the expenses like rent, office supplies, sm
manager salaries. That does not include payroll that is based on service.

A good example woould be this: You are starting a book store. You need to plan the original inventory and six months worth of expenses. If you sell that inventory, you use the money from that to buy more books. If you do not sell any at first, you can stay in business for six months while you get noticed.

With transcription or any service business, you need enough in the bank to cover the same expenses, those that can keep you afloat while building your client base. However, you only hire more people as you get more customers. The payroll does not figure into the 6 months as it is based on what you provide, whereas the 6 months takes into account what it takes to get it going even if you do not have 1 employee.

Very, very few companies can have $800,000 lying around. If they did, they probably would need to invest it in equipment or spend it in other ways or the IRS would consider it profit and tax the heck out of it!
deduct everything you can think of, electricity, phone, home office if you chose to, supplies, inter
you get the picture. I don't do the home office deduction though because we keep saying we are going to build on a lot we have and things get screwed up with taxes due to this, something with depreciation, not really sure, know someone who had this problem though, owed a lot back. When we do move, then I will take it since I know it won't be an issue then. I write off about $2-$3K a year which helps some. Was paying quartly but have not done it in 2 years as I usually don't owe more than $1200 and my husband has extra taken out of his pay, so that has always, so far, taken care of any taxes I have "owed". -- Check out the IRS website they have plenty of info on the subject.
