And I thank the mothers of boys who have raised them to respect women.

because i haven't thought of Bosco since I was a kid - and it's been a pretty long while since I was a kid!!
No need to laugh. Many people make that and much more. I do. nm

Communist? Please don't make me laugh!
In Communist countries, one does not PAY ANYthing for insurance. I don't agree with her garnishment comment on this issue, but it hardly makes her a 'communist.'
So before you call *any*one a Communist, pls get a better understanding of the definition of communism! :)
Don't laugh, I make $100 a week for 7 hours.
AND. . . my Christmas tips last year were over $500.00 for 65 customers. It's only 5 small streets in my own neighborhood (no car required) amd takes less than an hour every morning.
Great exercise, great nontaxable money.
If you're an early riser, this job is for you. I start at 5:00 a.m.
My only drawback is that I live in the Northeast and it's kinda rough in February when it's 20 below.
You people make me laugh.Half say they sm
betrayed their families by making pretend they weren't gay, but they were MADE to have families becuase you condem them for being together. So let me see if I get this straight-don't pretend you are straight and don't be gay. What is that called? Oh yeah, SICK. If people left each other alone to be what they were born to be we wouldn't have families betrayed to begin with. Get it????? Think hard.
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
should've been good laugh not could laugh

same way in nursing - men in nursing make more on average than women in nursing and quickly
move into management. Just what we needed.
Try covering with mayonaise and letting sit...
for a few hours/over night; then wipe off.
Amen, but you forgot covering the mic with
their mouths or collar or whatever they are covering it with, or not knowing how to pronounce drugs that they prescribe! and no knowledge of the English language as in something simple like pleurals or singulars, or did speak instead of the word *spoke*, etc. Drives me NUTS! Right with you on this one sista!
No, but I knew someone allergic to the foam covering.
Might be something to ponder.
Women, especially women of childbearing
age (especially this woman) prefer indoor plumbing and a bit of privacy rather than using a port-a-potty. I met a woman recently, she and her husband built the house behind me. She is also a master mechanic and does landscaping, all traditional male professions. She is a bit rough around the edges and I would never have pictured her with the man who is her husband.
I know a few male MTs and if they aren't gay, they missed a good chance.
Geez this, you should apologize because the innuendo was there. Nice try at covering yourself tho.

I agree with GATrans below. Don't trust him. He may be covering his own rear end. Either he
gives you the number and lets you do with it what you will or he loses your trust. It could be that he is making this whole story up to cover up the fact that this woman may call again on his cell phone. Men are snakes at times. Don't be a fool. My ex-husband was calling his girlfriend on our cell phone and telling me that it was the number of a woman who had a van for sale. He was in the used car business so it was a plausible explanation. Too bad for him that I have a suspicious nature, wrote the number down and kept it for posterity. A few weeks later my husband's friend (who's wife was a friend of the girlfriend) called from this number and it showed on my caller id. Too much of a conincidence for me. Maybe your husband is honest Abe and you trust him completely, but there is no such thing as perfect, and most women whose husbands have had affairs, never saw it coming. You can call me a cynic, but I'll never be a fool again and I hate to see other women be fooled.
And don't listen to the Pollyannas below you telling you that you are overreacting and that you should calm down. Utter nonsense. You have every right to be angry. You have every right to want that person's phone number and to call her telling her to never call again. And, if I were you, I'd be calling this friend of your husband's and letting him know what you think of him and threaten to tell his wife. The friend has no respect of his wife or marriage and so you can bet he has no respect for you or yours. Who cares if your husband loses him as a friend. He doesn't really need friends like that anyway!
Marriage is hard and you have to fight to keep it going. So fight.
No, they didn't. Just the tape covering that I had thrown out when I first opened them.. NM

Mothers day
It could be worse...my husband I I decided to divorce on Mother's Day...and I got nothing from any of my 4 kids.
BRAVO! The mothers never want to work SM
a holiday, they want every school break to be off with their children, they have to go on a field trip, they need to take Bratleigh to the doctor, on and on.
Taking a full-time job is great for them with full-time benefits until they are told they have to work some weekends or God forbid CHRISTMAS....what about the chilllllldddrennnnnn......
if our mothers don't kill us while we are in the womb.

Message for those who aren't mothers...sm
I hope you made it through the day yesterday without it bothering you that you're not a mom. For many years I'd try to avoid going to the stores around Mother's Day and having clerks say "Happy Mother's Day" and avoid church because of the Mother's Day recognition because it emotionally stung that I wasn't married or a mom. My heart breaks for a good friend who had a miscarriage 2 years ago and is now infertile as she hates the "happy mother's day" wishes as it brings up the sad emotions. I can't even begin to imagine how painful that must be for her and others who have shared the same misfortunes.
I'm now 43 and am now a foster mom so while I don't have any biological children I do have a precious child living with me. I'm sure that her mom was sad yesterday that she chose drugs over raising her child and lost custody because of drugs, but I am grateful that I'm able to use my motherly ways with her.
Message for those who aren't mothers...
I have 2 goldens, 1 Shelties, and 3 cats. Do they count? I love them and they love me! I buy them food and fix their meals. In the evening they get a pseudo raw diet and marrow bones. I take the dogs to obedience, agility, and handling classes. I bring them to the vet. I make sure they have plenty of tennies (tennis balls) and woobies (toy they can rip the stuffing out of) give them unwanted baths, cut toenails, scoop up the yard, play with them, give ear scrunches, belly rubs, give out meds to Taz Duh Golden (dumber than a box of rocks) who has severe heart disease (subaortic stenosis and cor pulmonale), and my heart is torn when any of them make their journey to the Bridge.
So, in a way, I am a mom. Only difference.....mine have 4 legs and not 2. 
work-at-home mothers
And admiration and respect to the MT at-home moms (dads too)who do this demanding job with kids at home! Hats off to you!

Happy Mothers Day from the staff at MTStars! May you have the best day!

What a very sweet surprise! Happy Mothers Day

Why only young mothers who want to earn extra?
Why this statement? What about us older ones? I just do not get that statement because I would think experience counts a lot in this job.
Mothers volunteer as "aides" at their children's schools
supposed to help, not hinder.
Most daddies don't die. It's the breeding with losers that makes single mothers...
and you need to replace your crystal ball, because it's cracked. I happen to be very happily married with NO kids and LOVE it. Now, some of you will start squawking that I'm bitter because I don't have kids, but I assure you I am grateful every day of my life that I don't have to deal with kids, especially when I read on these boards how unhappy so many mothers seem to be.
If I'm harsh, it's because I've gotten the short end of the stick SO MANY FREAKING TIMES in my working life because of single mothers who expect and get preferential treatment, while those of us w/o kids are expected to pick up the slack. And guess what? I'm SICK of it.
women, sorry - nm

Its because men R better than women!
HAHAHAHA
You know how when women are together they get their
z
insult to women
Some women ask for it?? What an insult to all women. What never blame the guy?? This young woman was acting like a young woman and partying and meeting guys. In no way, shape or form was her demise/disappearance her fault or her parents fault. get real.
why are some of you women so cruel?
There comes a point where we all kind of need each other, when we realize that for the most part, men are big dumb animals who do not know how to "be" there, which is what we essentially need. You as a female should be understanding and supportive when another one says how she is struggling as a "single mom." Women are so hateful towards each other when we're the only ones who make any sense on this planet! I know I sound like a man hater, but men can only do so much, and for those things I have a plumber and a maintenance man! Come on what happened to sisterhood!
Nasty women
You know women should be supportive of each other. Let's face it, men aren't, like the lady said. I worked in offices where some of the women there were so nasty and catty and rude. Seems lots of them are on here too. Thank God for being able to work at home. I don't think anyone is looking for pity on this board, but for crying out loud, doesn't anybody have a warm heart anymore. There are lots of cold-hearted people on here talking, must be from the East Coast.
looks to me like he's got enough women in his life (sm)
he has all of us! Lucky man, kyradmt!
all women in their 40s should go out with younger men
anyway
I need advice from women!
I have no idea what 2 give my sisters (ages 40, 49 and 58) 4 Christmas! They have pretty much everything, so what are some ideas for not too expensive gifts that U gals always like to get? I simply don't know what 2 do! Thanx!
You women have it easy!
All you have to do is cook and clean. We have to go out and break our backs to make you happy! You should feel sorry for us!
Oh, don't even get me started. Thanks to women's lib,
now we have to cook, clean, raise the kids, and work a fulltime job on top of it all. We're doing double duty while the men are whining about how hard they work without making a dent in the daily household duties or child rearing.
If a man wants to go to bed, he simply goes to bed. If a woman wants to go to bed, she has to clean up the dinner mess, let the animals in and out, see the kids off to bed, lock the doors, and every other little unnoticed thing we do.
women.............change the W above to a B....sm
While some gay men do make the best friends, some are also worse b*it*hes than women. I too love the Fab 5 but you are going to tell me that Carson Kressley is not *flamboyant*?? heh heh heh......
And some gay men can be rude, exclusive, nasty, and subliminally rude....even in postings online.....they are no different than other people....in this regard. Nothing is EVER as it seems in life.......
Some of the brightest women (and men) I have met
in my lifetime have been MTs. Some could have gone on to medical school but did not due to obligations to family. In my younger years, worked with more than a few who helped put their husbands through college.
The field is different now. I blame it on the schools in part and also the mistaken belief that you can do this work and be an attentive stay-at-home mom.
Yeh women are the worst
at gossiping. Give them the scoop and they've got a story to tell.
Girls and women
That, in my humble opinion, is what separates the girls from the women. With all of the references we have at our fingertips (Google is WONDERFUL), if you know how to search, you can find what you need. As a success story in MT for over 35 years, I can honestly say that from day one (and yes, I had to learn over the years), I did my very best never to ask for help UNTIL I had exhausted every means available to me and had come up empty-handed. I realize that is much easier to do this when you do not work by the line and every minute is money in your pocket...or not if you are spending a lot of time looking things up.
I see this as the unintended consequences of women's........
liberation. It's been a wonderful thing in many aspects of a woman's life and who the heck wants to go back to the old days regarding the treatment of women and our freedoms, but one of the unintended consequences has been a generation of men who don't expect that THEY should support a family alone and fully expect their wives to contribute equally. Yet, at the same time the men have not jumped in there with the housework and childcare. As a result, women now have the honor of providing for their family AND having husbands who also expect June Cleaver to have the house clean, the kids taken care of, and to have "the little woman" available at their convenience. What are ya gonna do?
Like lots of the women here, I got into MT for that reason (Please sm)
It was the hardest thing I ever did (working at home with the kids). My kids were 3, 5, and 8 at the time (all boys) and needed a lot of my attention. I seemed like I was chained to my computer. I would stumble out of bed and start typing and would be transcribing for hours after they were all asleep (hubby and kids). I was grumpy, tired, and broke. I barely made minimal wage. I was constantly screaming at my kids to be quiet because I couldn't hear my doctors. It was unpleasant for everyone. I finally went in-house to work in 2002 and it was heaven. No more kids (and hubby, and sister, and mother, and neighbor, etc.) constantly interrupting me, no more breaking up fights between my boys, no more paltry paychecks...but I did miss my kids after a couple of weeks on the job. From 2002 on I had part-time jobs at home with Spheris, MQ, and a local lady, but I ended up dropping them all because of the same reasons.
Now (starting yesterday)I'm working from home again full-time. I am worried but my mantra is "school starts on August 29." I figure if I can stick it out until then, I'll be home free! . My kids are older now--7, 9, and 13--but still are VERY high maintenance and are very demanding. I love my boys and I love being a medical transcriptionist--but I am thrilled that there is mandatory schooling for kids! LOL
Good luck to you. It can be done, but it is HARD work.
Take care,
Chickadee
You act like all women are walking wombs..SM
just existing until we do the greatest of all things, BEAR A CHILD. No thanks lady. You have 'em. I don't need to have a child to validate myself in the world.
Exactly. That's how Mary Kay hooks women-SM
by showering them with positive attention, atta girl, you go girl. It is unnecessary and we are not dogs.
The women of the View are the epitome
of every negative portrayal of women out there. They are not girls or ladies. The old broads ousted that one young blonde chick, who was the only one I ever even liked. They're catty, two faced, petty, overly obsessed with material items like shoes or clothes, and just plain annoying. They think they're all that and a bag of chips. NOT! At least I don't have to turn on my TV. Nobody can force me to watch them. Woo hoo!
RUN RadGuy!!!! We women can hound someone even on an

Why? Do you associate them with elderly women? sm
The hot names today, Ashley, Brittany,Taylor, etc., will one day be associated with old, overweight women and thus be considered ugly, elderly names. Better to stick with classics like Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah.
