It is FRIDAY - Pizza night! nm

With mail order I paid $15 for a 3 month supply,
the same as I would pay in my local phamarcy for a 1 month supply, so saved $30.00 going through the mail versus buying locally.   It was with ExpressScripts  (sp), which is the drug program that comes with our insurance. 
I pay $35/month through Vonage for unlimited LD. Local phone co. charges $50/month. NM

How about Chinese?

Take out chinese with my MIL

Chinese fish
Most of the tilapia in the stores comes from China, catfish also.. Ask your meatman BEFORE you buy and only buy US produced cats and other fish... Its your body you are putting this contaminated food into.
Chinese, especially when eating something. nm

PIZZA, it's the usual.

We got pizza delivered.
Church group tonight.
I usually give $2 to the pizza man
and $2 to 3 to the hairstylist. Depends on if they cut straight or not!!!
$2 for pizza, $15-20 for cut & highlights.

pizza and denzel washington

pizza gives you different food categories and you can "doctor" pizza for variety by adding pineapples or other things you could find on the island.  denzel is a manly man, charming, funny and intelligent.    if drink is added cold beer (corona with lime) would go great with my pizza.


frozen pizza and Perrier

Mmmmmmmmmmmm..cold pizza

Ha! We did pizza last night..so, it's leftovers.

2 bucks for pizza...usually $5 for hair cut...nm

Guess you'll have to come to my house for pizza!

Just finished canning 30 pints of pizza sauce from my homegrown tomatoes, peppers, basil, garlic, oregano and husband grows the onions.  Husband and his brothers own a large crop farm so can and freeze lots of veggies.  Also made salsa last week.  Almost always make my own pizza anymore because of the artificial color problem.  Haven't quite perfected it though (that pizzeria taste) but have got the crust almost "right".  Would be happy to share my recipe for dough.  Also sincere the in the shoulder if you need one- would be willing to share email address to correspond.


Ezcema is such a bummer!!  I have several nephews (husbands side of the family) with it.  Was worse for them when they were younger and has definitely gotten better now that they are older teens now.  Food allergies did seem to be a culprit for them.  Can you believe that when my daughter was totally covered all summer with hives that I went to my mother in law and asked her if anyone in the family had any allergies that she knew of because I was totally at a loss, immediately she said no without a thought.  (Couldn't be anyone in "her family").  Then after I almost killed my daughter with Amoxicillian (strep throat), Gatorade, cough syrup (cold/cough), Benadryl (hives) and Advil (fever) (all of which have red dye which she is most allergic to) and her face and throat swelled up the mother in law suddenly remembered her sister stops breathing if she has artifical food colors.  Golly gee thanks for your help. Her sister has food allergies and so do the nephews thanks for thinking of your granddaughter.


Leftover delivery pizza from last night, heated in sm
microwave.  Sausage, mushroom, fresh tomatoes.  Such a good place I found locally.  Can't resist them.
Wood-fired brick oven pizza. nm

Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.
too!
$2 pizza, not do hairstylist as family does; but what about those Sonic car hopers? sm
i usually don't with sonic as they make minimum wage but have heard of some that do so i "occasionally" do depending if close to payday or not, lol, but those girls are getting snoody when you don't.
$5 for the pizza guy and $10 for a haircut and a pedicure. If nails too, tip more. Highlights, tip m
tip at least $10 when I eat out. I tell you one thing though, my pizza place always gets exactly what I order to me. If they didn't, I wouldn't tip as good. If I didn't get good service somewhere though, I would go some place else.
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! :-)

Hubbie's birthday...pizza, salad, but the most important thing
cheesecake and banana split dessert for his birthday..... Am looking forward to it! Yuummmm!!
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

gal friday
I think Joe Friday had one on Dragnet (Friday night viewing from the 50's.)
Yep, this Friday I am getting my
check from them. I am a happy girl.
I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!!  You know exactly what you said.  You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed!  You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT.  Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you.  Why have kids at all?  Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked!  Give me a break!  Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT.  Your own words showed your heart. Period.

On Survivor, they eat rice or corn for days or weeks. They win a reward and eat pizza, greasy

I couldn't get it friday either.

Happy Friday!!
I have an endo account, which has a lot of lab terms!  It probably would be easier, but my doc has a thick accent (spanish)  Its definitely not the easiest, just my opinion!  Best of luck, if you go with endocrinology.
Buy Nothing Day (Black Friday)

I'm on my way to Vegas Friday! Thanks for your help and..sm
have loads of fun on your trips!  Nothing better than working from home and being able to travel, so lucky we are!
This is my Friday SCREAM!!!! sm
I have had a terrible week that just keeps on "getting better" over here.

I don't to talk about it, it would take hours. I just wanted to scream. Mercury must be in retrograde, the moon might be full, SOMETHING is out of alignment.

If you want to scream too, DO IT. It won't help much, but it gets it out.
Where I work if it is done on Friday, before 5 pm - sm
then it is due back Saturday within 24-hours of it being dictated, i.e. 3pm Friday is due back by 3pm Saturday. If it is dictated after 5 then it is due back by Monday 8am. In theory Sunday work is not due back until Tuesday 8am but when it does happen (which is rare) I try to get it in on Monday or my whole schedule gets messed up.
That's it! Thank you so much Kim! Happy Friday! NM

I do this on both Thursday and Friday . . .

Do you do this every night or just on Fridays? If it's just on Fridays, probably not (nor would I probably even be aware of it).


Thursdays as well, since the work that comes in after 5 isn't due until Monday morning.

Hospitals have a rhythm. Does your way of ensuring turnaround mean that almost every job you have is over 10 minutes, leaving all the 1 and 2 minute 'nuisance' reports in the queue? Do all the ops remain in the queue (I'm a fan of the work type, but not everybody is)? I'm reaching annoyance stage.


I get both long and shorter jobs.

Again with the rhythms- Are there particularly egregious dictators that you get to essentially ignore because they're morning birds while Dr. Chatty Easylines and Dr. Joe Makinbigbucks routinely dictate 1500 lines, which for them entails a total of 4 hours of typing combined) at about 7:00 each evening. Yeh, now I'm PO'd.


All the dictators on this particular account have their jobs come in at various times.  I get the good, the bad and the ugly . . . just like everybody else.

Are you then one of those people that wil come on here and gloat about how on average you type 400-500 lines/hour and make roughly $25/hour, can't understand why all transcriptionists can't do it, and suggest we tinker and modify our expansion program so we can be as good as you? Be thankful the internet is anonymous because otherwise I'd know if you worked for my company and I would be kicking up a fuss like you wouldn't believe.


I make good money, but I don't come on here and "gloat."  I've been with my company for many years.  They are happy with the work I do.  Also, I work every weekend day to do those jobs I take.  The other MTs at my company do not want to work weekends.  I also work nights AND during the day.  I have a flexible schedule, but I work a lot because I want to make a lot. 


Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.

I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.

So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.

Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.

I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary.  How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu

call her by her first name.  The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away. 


I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated.   Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie.  :-)


But, as someone pointed out, to each his own.  If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that.  I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks."    


Gal Friday was a term used in the 1950s
to describe a female office assistant who can perform a lot of tasks. It's a takeoff on Friday from Robinson Crusoe, and it's also a popular name for secretarial service businesses.
