It's no more 6/6/6 than june 6 1996 was. Nobody otherwise calls the year only by the last digit.

He calls me daily whining that he doesn't have any money. Then calls me names when I
a check.  He hasn't looked for a job, hasn't even read the want ads, I'm sure.  He told me he realizes he can't live without me.  My paycheck is what he can't live without!  I feel so humiliated and angry sometimes that I put up with him for as long as I did!
$234 this june, $120 last June. Connecticut sm

We just had major rate hike.  Can you spell r-i-p-o-f-f?


I think they have had one running since 1996!

Have a 1996 Suburban, bought in 02/1999 with 64K miles - sm
now has 184K miles, still going strong. Paid $26K. Have gotten our money's worth on it. Just started making repairs here and there over the last 2 years, new fuel pump, new fitting from radiater to engine, a couple engine seals, water pump, cleaning of fuel injectors. Probably about $2K all together in the last 7 years we have had it, not bad I think, other than regular maintance stuff, i.e. brakes, tires, oil changes, air filters, engine belt, etc. Gets about 15 MPG, 18 sometimes. Thing is a tank and I love it. Had a Blazer before that, though I had to put a lot of $$$ into it over the years I had it (10), about 16 MPG---Going to run the Suburban into the ground, hope to get 250K miles at least out of it. Has a few tics now and then due to age but all in all is in great shape and runs well, and I have made a point of fixing things immediately engine-wise and cosmetically. Go GM, have heard the transmissions last a lot longer (mine is proof of that, 184K original transmission) my husband has a 1990 Ford F-250 that had its transmission rebuild at 90K miles. His truck now has 189K miles on it and shifts rough.
My hubbie had a massive stroke in 1996 and since then I have been the only income...sm
in our home. Our vehicles were repossessed on Christmas eve of that year and within 6 months of his stroke we lost everything. We had no car, no home, etc, but by luck insurance paid most of his medical bills, but our credit was shot. He has not been able to work since and I am an MT, so that probably tells you what type of money we are making. I am only telling you this because there is light at the end of the tunnel. You hubbie will be able to work again and it might take some time, but you will be able to get out of this mess. I would recommend a book by Dave Ramsey called "The Total Money Makeover" and he explains how to get completely out of debt no matter what your situation. He also has a daily radio program, you can go to his web site and find it, but he really has advice that can help you right now. I am not sure if you are a believer, but prayer right now if you are can really help to give you some peace. I really do understand where you are at and have been in your shoes. Believe me, it will get better. Please feel free to email if you need to talk.

June bugs
Awwww, I miss June bugs, and just hearing about them makes me wish I was back in Missouri, which is where I grew up and we saw lots of them!

My husband's uncle used to eat them.
Just turned 29 in June..nm

June to October? More in fall

Congrats! 22 years for me on June 25. nm

To get rid of june bugs you need to get rid of grubs. You can
use Milky Spore but it is expensive and can take up to 3 years.   You can put products on the lawn for grub control and that will eliminate the June bugs.

June was $105 w/o the AC on-- drip pan was rusted out - sm
and needed replacing, unfortunately they could not just get that part for some reason, and had to get the coils to....$645 later, it is fixed as of Friday (we went a month not using it since if we did have it on it would drip into the furnace and rust out the parts there, and have a river run across the garage soaking things too). So normally in the summer the electric runs from $120-$160 with the A/C on. I think we will try to use it less. We have made it this far w/o and it has been around 90-95 every day, with very high humidity (yuck). Electric actually jumped from $90 to $105 since we have fans running non-stop, still cheaper than running the A/C though. Have had a few cooler days now (80s) and cool nights (60s) so that has helped a lot.
Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.

I know the Club Med there will not be open until June 2006, if that is of any help. sm

No doubt a travel agent could give you an idea of how things are.  If it was me, I think I'd wait a bit.  They were hit pretty hard, and there is a lot of cleanup, I'm sure.


Wherever you go, have some sun in the fun for me! 


I just found the best spray for June bugs sm
and spiders, ants and those yukky black and yellow bees that go in the ground. I have June bugs something awful this year, hundreds banging around my house. And those bees were so bad last year I couldn't get in the garden, they had invaded everything and got in the house as well. I talked to a farmer who used this stuff called Suspend. He said it really worked but it was expensive.  I found some on the web and mixed a couple gallons and went around the foundation, under the decks and sprayed a bunch in every bee hole I could find and wow, it's like magic. I haven't seen one bee scouting around the holes, no ants in the house anymore or in the gardens and not one spider. We get those big wolf spiders and I found 4 dead ones in the alley. It's great. It's $40.00 for a bottle (I think its a pint) and it makes around 11 gallons. I bought it at http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com.  No, I am not a distributor nor do I make any money off referrals. Just recommending something I finally found has worked.
$256.00 for June electric bill in Calif.

Am curious if anyone's else is outrageously high.  Mine typically is $150-200 for summer months. 


I keep temp at 82 during day, 78 at night.  Temperatures here soar to 95-100 though.  But, I live alone and have gas hot water, gas stove.


Working at home has its pluses and minuses!  Leaving the air off for 8-10 hours a day while I was at the hospital working saved me a lot of cash in this utility bills.


 


 


my bill in central California for June was $392,
last month was $299. If this year is anything like last year, July will be $500 and August $600. I keep it at 78 to 80 all day.
quit my previous job in JUNE, not Sept!
I must have September-on-the-brain!
Ask if you can come off. Since June is way long enough especially when you're familiar with the

I am a medical Transcriptionist who has over 15 years of experience and also have taught medical transcription and provided quality evaluations for graduating students at the college level. I am in the process of revamping my medical transcription business and have a spot for two either graduates or soon to be graduates to intern.

The internship will be paid at a starting rate of 0.06 cpl (65 char with spaces) while in training and then will go to 0.07 cpl. This is an wonderful opportunity to gain much needed experience as well as allowing you the opportunity to work from home.

Just reply by email if you are interested and tell me a bit about yourself for consideration. You will need a USB foot pedal and either cable or DSL. Also need to have a medical spellchecker and a willingness to learn and retain.

Please specify hours (times) and days available in your response.

Good luck to you.



Consumer Reports June 2005 covers this.....sm
type of information if you'll go to your local library they usually have a copy available there.   Happy researching!

I have gotten a few calls - sm
I actually have not minded that I have not taken a job with the ones that I have called, but one person did ask me for my opinion on what I liked about the companies I have worked for and what I didn't like and what exactly would be the ideal home position. I liked that she took the time to listen and took notes. Although we both felt I would not be a fit for their company (hours and work schedule weren't good for me) I actually enjoyed sharing and hearing her feedback.
The Q calls it ASR too.

urgent calls

That would work, with the cell phone.  I have my house phone line and the extra phone line for work only.  The company I work for has toll-free access, so I don't need toll call or long distance service, and it runs less than $20 a month.


I also like having caller ID so I can also see who it is, and the answering machine so I can hear why they are calling.  If it's urgent or important, I take the call.  Otherwise, I don't answer it.  You wouldn't believe how much productivity it eats to answer the phone every time it rings.


I believe they know the pay is so low they wouldn't get any calls.

ROBBED at least once. Some calls

Especially the "TD" where his knees, shoulder, elbow, hand and ball hit outside the line and then he scooted it in w/ a wide-eyed guilty look.   And, Hawks would have done better if Stevens could catch.


Sweet reverse play by Steelers though and long run by Parker.


And very cute commercial w/ the Budweiser colt.


calls from India


Have received three phone calls from India...I can tell by the accent (I transcribe a lot of Indian doctors). The first two calls were just stuttering around, wanting my name, etc. The last one was Sunday night at 9:00 p.m., woke me up. I was furious and asked him if he knew what time it was. He said he had no idea, but started with that "your name please", etc. I yelled "don't ever call this number again", and I hung up. I have passed this around at work, and some people are getting calls from India...I think they get us off the computer some way. Anybody else having this happen?


calls from India
I wonder if they are trying to recruit? They make me so mad...the last time he said "your name please" I told him it was none of his freaking business!
harrasing phone calls

my local phone company as most do, has a harrasement dept.  you set it up that each and every time you get a call, you hit a certain numbe of keys and it "logs" the calls.  After 5 such calls, you then report it to the police dept, they get the records and can go after the creeps!  You never know the number, but the police will let you know who the offenders are.  My sis had to use it because of an ex boyfriend of my nieces...his mother lost ALL phone service for a year!


wish you had it, it worked great to stop the 2am calls.


get rid of any man who calls your children names!

Let alone call you names in front of them.  He sounds like a true control freak and slob to boot.  Your 16yo needs to NOT be exposed to this kind of behavior from a man...she'll end up getting into relationships thinking this is "the way I grew up" mode.


Keep your faith and get out and into living your own life for you and your own children.


Her hinchman calls and tries to convince you that she really does not mean it.
Or she will call repeatedly and half way apologize. She is really a sorry creature in every way. Can't call her a human because she definitely is not that at all. I really can't say that I ever saw her after lunch when she was truly sober. Beer for breakfast is the norm.
Not an MT's job to make those kind of calls...
in the first place. You're contributing behind closed doors. I would find another job.
random calls/drop ins
People just do not understand. I have just had to be rude without apology. I have had so many people call and even though I don't answer still drop by. I have to say that if I am too busy to answer phone then I am also too busy to go to the door. I have had them stand on the door step ringing the bell and calling my phone. More than once I have answered the phone to someone saying they were at my door. I say, "Oh, is that you ringing my bell? Sorry but I am working". They do not like it but neither do appreciate the disrespect. My friends have just learned to laugh it off. I stick to my guns, even with my family No work, no pay, is what I say.
Simon calls that the X factor....

I only know one company who calls it ASR, and that is Webmedx

I made calls when i moved here from OH
I was told I did not. I asked a few sources because I am NOT running a company and do not need a DBA. I guess that may change if someone files a complaint, but I am not going to do it if I don't have to.
I breed Timney African Grey parrots. Have a baby now that will be ready early June.

Court battle over Internet Calls

For those MTs like myself who access their work over the Internet, would this consist of violating the HIPAA laws?
