I have followed the unfolding of events
It seems that Star alienated a large portion of her audience with her weight loss (and the absence of information related to the necessity of her to turn to the medical community to accomplish this difficult task, appearing to give out the impression she was capable of doing this with restrictions and discipline?).
Then...the wedding coverage seemed over the top some how. It was said she used her status to obtain "freebies."
I rarely watched the show but did not that obvious change in Star's personality after her weight loss. It was just different somehow.
Saw the Larry King interview. She smiled nonstop and it made one think that the smile was false.
I don't know what her reasons are. She may have gotten drunk with success.
today's events
Well, as expected I woke up to emails in caps saying how as an IC things like...I guess ACTS OF NATURE can't happen and even though it was felt that I could go off of QA, now I need to be on another week and oh yeah, on top of that, at 2 cents less per line. Of course I said no, that what happened last night was not a QA problem anyway but a technical issue. I have a couple of other things lined up but I'm so upset. Now I have to go and buy a Lanier that I can't afford because I just bought the defective C-phone not even 3 weeks ago. Oh well, such is life. I really appreciate your kind words, they really do help.
I have one that actually passes gas and you can tell sm
When he's going to pass his squeaking gas, he doesn't stop talking but just makes a grunting noise before you hear it. Grosses me out. 
Noooooo, it's not a squeaky chair. 
I'm already figuring out what I can do to help once it passes. sm
I will give $ to the Red Cross, and I'm wondering if there's anything else I'll be able to do from where I live (FL) to help. I've got a pile of clothes that was going to go to the resale store or Goodwill that I'm going to hold onto and see if anyone around here will be taking donations of such to go up there. I lived through 3 hurricanes here last year and am grateful I made it through, I simply have to help for this one. I've been to N.O. several times and love the city, and will be heartbroken to see it under such destruction.
Just know that it will get better as time passes and
you are not alone. We all went through it. I remember crying every day. Even when I was an MT for several years and I first started on op notes, I did my first brain surgery at home, alone, my VDI (old term for voice) got hit by lightening and I was thrown out of a chair. I kept going. Did not understand half the terms, and did not know the dictation was 90 minutes long! Those days we had no way of knowing how long the voice was, and once signed on we could not delete or quit the job. I cried for 4 hours. Probably more. I will never forget that. But you know what, things got better with time. That is, my learning curve got better. My patience never did. I can say that I rarely cry anymore, because if I don't get things I ask QA and they tell me (through e mails and sending me samples), and I save the samples and am better than ever at that particular doc. It will take you a while, hang in there. Eventually you will come through. We all do. It is in us!
What passes for clear and concise . . .
I'm really getting some good ones today. How about this for a clear and concise statement?

Food plus calendar
I always give homemade food, chex mix plus cookies or muffins, vary each year. But I also have friends who publish calendars (local scenic pictures) and I have several made up with my name on it and put in one of those, that way they have my number handy, etc. All is deductible off your business as expenses and advertising. They all look forward to it every year. Did not do the calendar and received some flack about it the year I skipped so went back to it.

I love my Wallpaper Calendar
Link below. You can make it semi-transparent so that you can have a nice wallpaper background. It is ALWAYS there and you can set it to show as many as 9 weeks at a time.
They have a free 30-day trial and after that it costs $30, but I think it's worth every penny.
My calendar says it's repeat the same sentence over-n-over day

calendar software program
AnyTime Deluxe offers a number of different options for reminders to pop up, also with various sounds
Desktop calendar with reminder options....
Does anyone use this? With going back to school and 3 kidss and tons of appointments, I amm finding that using the old calendar on the wall isn't too safe anymore. Given the fact that I amm tied to my desk most of the time, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a free desktop calendar that will warn me when something is scheduled that day, etc. I know there is probably a way to do this, but I have no idea. Any info would be appreciated. I see the free downloadable calendars, but I amm afraid of those. Does windows or microsoft office come equipped with this? Again, any info appreciated. TIA
desktop calendar Cozi Central
Check out Cozi Central on the web. I LOVE IT! You use a different color for each family member, so you can see everyone's schedule at once. Or you can select one person's schedule. You can schedule a year in advance, if you want. There's a web version and a PC version. The web version can be accessed from any computer anywhere you go. Cozi Central gave me my life back! It's so easy!
Need suggestions on a desktop calendar software for my PC. SM
I'm looking for something that works similar to the calendar feature in Outlook. I want to input appointments and reminders and have a little pop box come up to remind the day before.
Any suggestions for a good program?
Yahoo e-mail has a calendar that will send reminders
I have been using this for a while and love it. It will send as many reminders in a day as I want. I can even set it to send a reminder the day before and again the same day.

It varies by county in NC
I live in Randolph County, NC and the high school kids here can miss no more than 10 days of school per year before they have to start making up time. The elementary kids can miss 20. If this kid has missed that much school, the school should be contacting social services or someone to get involved. In NC parents can be held responsible and even be put in jail for their children not attending school like they are supposed to. It is truancy and it is illegal.
I'm in Cobb County. We were originally....sm
supposed to have started Monday but so many parents beat up on the school board that they delayed it a "whopping" 2 days.
At least our school board didn't get by with spending the $100 million on laptops for students! It's a shame it took a judge to block them and put an end to that nonsense. Speaking of which, I would expect that Apple will be having a huge sale on laptops soon since they've been blocked from selling the 63,000 laptops to the school system!

Westchester County work
Joanne,
Yorktown isn't that far away from you and if you don't mind being an independent contractor, Phoenix is a good place. Nice people who will treat you right. They pay high line rates for well experienced people on an internet platform. They have a lot of hospitals from Orange County down throughout MH and into Conn too. You can earn enough as an IC to afford your own health insurance. There are also a couple of other companies on the West bank of the Hudson where you could work from home with hospitals on both sides of the river.
email me if you like.

County mental health
If she is on state or county aid she might find something available. But I am not being mean but how can you expect to receive "free services" - would you do your work for free? Again, unless she is on welfare or something like that or perhaps through your church you might find some help but even then you usually have to pay on a sliding scale and don't get it completely "free". If she is suicidal or there is a chance she will do harm to self or kids, she can go to ER and they will set her up with something but again it would only be so many visits. Does she work? Does her husband work? Do they have medical benefits? Again, don't mean to sound mean or cruel but not much in this life is free as if everyone gave it away "free" how would they pay their bills. But look through your county/state directory or go to your church and see if they can help.
If you know the county that he was divorced in, do a google search
for that county's public records website. Where I live, I can access the county's public records via web and lookup by last name and first name and these are free searches as they are public records. If he had any prior record of domestic violence, it will show up there.

county vet versus in-town vet. . . I have noticed(sm)
the change over the years since our vet's practice has grown tremendously. About 20 years ago when they first opened up they had one small converted farmhouse and three doctors. We live on the suburbs of a small city. When this vet came into practice there were a bunch of vets in town but everyone seemed to flock to my vets because they were good, inexpensive, really cared, and not pushy about extra services. HOWEVER, in the last year or two they've built a HUGE new building (basically a small surgicenter), added tons of support staff (at least four gals behind the counter checking people in and out versus one), each doctor has his own "assistant" that comes into the room with him now, there are computers in every exam room, the waiting room is the size of a small hospital lobby, etc., etc. The minute the building was finished I noticed that prices on basic services (shots, special food, exams) went up. Then came the push for the "extra" services (blood work, teeth cleaning, etc.) I only call these services "extra" because before the new building and huge practice the only time anything extra was mentioned was when I had to take in a sick animal and then it wasn't "extra" it was necessary. Now it seems they're pushing a lot of baseline things that they want us to "think about having done" even though the animals aren't sick.

Great to have a computer spouse handy when system crashes!
In our county, 10 days lands you in court sm
excused or unexcused. They found the schools were failing NCLB criteria mostly on attendance. Now you have to show a judge the reason your child was absent (hospital records, etc...). Above a certain age, it is a truancy issue that the student is held responsible for. Below a certain age, the parent gets in trouble.
They put out a very wide net in order to catch the people who simply don't feel like taking their kids to school on certain days and the families with joint custody who simply yank the kids back and forth between different schools. Unfortunately, many people who have valid reasons for the absences are having to go prove themselves in court.

Sorry, this absolutely depends on the county you live in. Going through
She was just told they won't even look at expunging her felony drug conviction until she has a clean record for 10 years. In the meantime, she has had to fess up in a couple of interviews and hope for compassion. She finally got a job she lives but she's always afraid what will happen if she loses it.

have ya'll seen this movie sm
called Napolean Dynamite? If you have teens, maybe you have heard of it. If you wanna rent a movie this weekend that is totally mindless and just plain funny, rent this one! OMG, my 14 YOD has watched it four times since we've had it. It's just funny!
So are you saying you actually saw the movie?
If you did, then you would know they would never have gotten married if society had accepted their lifestyle and they did not have to fear for their lives.
