with a mullet and bleached blond hair who drink beer all day and let their kids run wild, your little trailer park heart filled home becomes a bit of a headache because of the neighbors who may not have the same ideals or morals/ethics you do and they are SO CLOSE you can't shut them out of your world. Cheap housing brings in cheap people and in trailer parks you pretty much get what you get neighbor-wise. So my heart may be in my little trailer but my neighbors are part of my homelife.

lucky to live in a trailer park where she has to defend her way of living?
I would pack up and move if I had to defend where I lived and I would not consider myself lucky.
hey, how come you don't live in a trailer park? if i'm a snob, there are millions of snobs w
live in a trailer park. why do you think people make fun of trailer parks on tv or called clinton's girlfried, paula jones, "trailer park trash" when trying to dismiss her sexual lawsuit against him. trailer park trash is not a joke/phrase others have to wonder about. they have an image and it's pretty much well earned.
Trailer park dwelling
Fine if you want to live in a trailer park, but you should have to pay property taxes. If you want to be treated like everyone else, then pay taxes like everyone else. We had this issue in our community, and we did fight against having a trailer park, because that means the surrounding community has to subsidize the schooling, police, fire, garbage pickup, and all the other services for a trailer park or manufactured home community. I found all this out during months leading up to stopping a trailer park developer. I do believe trailer park dwellers should be treated like everyone else, which means they should have to pay property taxes like everyone else. Currently, in Michigan, they don't. That's not only wrong, it is preferential treatment for manufactured home communities. I'm sure you're as respectable as you say, so start paying your own way instead of making a community subsidize you!
Well, all that is true where I live too, but you STILL can't park at the mall

How dare you? I used to live in a trailer and was not a skank
trailer parks have long been the but of jokes about the people who live in them.
You know that. If you choose to live in a trailer park that is certainly your right but sorry the stigma is there and I nor the OP created it. There was a running joke about Paula Jones (Clinton's "friend") being trailer park trash. Why? I don't know as I do not live in trailer park nor do I want to because I don't want the stigma. I was looking at property in North Carolina and there was no zoning regulation so the property was across the street from a trailer park which brought property values down. I am not making this up nor do I create it. It is what it is. Oh, BTW, there is a new show coming on MTV, a parody I think of the home improvement shows, where a gay biker type grit, tries to rehab trailer homes. Hilarious. Again, I didn't make it up nor stigmatize trailer parks. Someone took a concept of their idea of people and their trailer homes and ran with it. There is also the same idea in Blue Collar TV with Jeff Foxworthy on Comedy Channel.
Bottom line, there is a stigma to living in a trailer park and you have to learn to live with that. I personally can't live with the stigma and do not entertain the thought of moving to a trailer park. I think it would be hard on my kids to have that trailer park stigma on them as they enter school.
well now there's a trend. doesn' t everyone in auburn, alabama live in a trailer?
what college do the trailer park students attend?
That is hysterical!!!! Do Barney and Betty live next door??? LOL. nm

Home is where the heart is....no matter what type of structure!
Some people are so judgemental and know no better!
Don't worry about it, everyone has their own opinions and you can't change that.
Home is where the heart is no matter what structure it is.
I hear such mixed thoughts regarding getting accounts by going door-to-door soliciting yourself.
Is it worth it. Are there many people out there that have landed new accounts this way? Most MTSOs that have been in business for a long time say it is by word of mouth, but what about MTs like me who have been doing this five years. I feel I'm ready for my own accounts and am not sure if this is the best route.
Any opinions?
Do you want to live in the home?
If you want to stay there, you would probably be eligible for what the govt is offering, as stated. You need to make some phone calls. BK 13 is also an option if you want to save your home, can modify loan and make those payments. My neighbor lived in her house for over a year before they forclosed. Everyone worked with her, agent, bank so she and her young child could relocate (her husband had just been arrested for a white collar crime and left her on her own).
Don't feel alone, people like you are everywhere
Consider calling in to the Dave Ramsey Show or Suze Orman. You have some options.
Everything is dated and to the hour: As in: 1/30/2009 at 12:01 AM, the property at ___ will be auctioned. BK 13 would put a stay in place, and freeze any action which would buy you time. But future income will determine everything.
I am sorry this is happening and I know the stress as I have been there before once myself and hope it never happens again but you know, it's possible.
Late charges and finance charges and interest and penalties are what beat down people in this boat. It makes no sense to punish people who don't have enough cash as it is at this time in history.
"I would rather be from a broken home than live in one"
Please get out of the situation you are in. You are not doing yourself or your children any favors by staying with this man who has great potential for violence. The best thing you can give your children is a healthy, happy mother. You do not deserve to live under threats all your life. Make plans and get out - you and your children will be grateful!
Trailer's and trailer parks
Saw on the Travel Channel the ones in Malibu...I HAVE a home appraised at 239,000 and only wish I could sell it, get rid of all the sniveling neighbors and move into a nice trailer & park, where I could actually have the time to enjoy me neighbors and live, rather than work  my butt off for this "brick house"
Keep your attitude, and enjoy your home. My bro lives in a fantastic "mobile home estate" and has just the best community. He had emergency surgery,quite unexpected, but you can rest assurred there were meals at his door, which was swept off and his yard and garden well tended. 
If he has a sudden bronchospasm at home, he may not LIVE during the trip to the ER. He needs to go.

I also live in Georgia - how did they find out you work from home?
NM
I think I misstated it - the at home people live within an hour of the hospital - sm
this is what the hospital is absolutely positively trying to avoid - having people all over the country doing the job. If the equipment breaks, if there are meetings, etc. - these cannot be done with transcriptionists all of the country.
Yes they are!!!! OSi and SoftScript are neck and neck
There are MUCH better companies out there. Please, for your sake, do not go there with SoftScript.
Can you give us a ball park?

oooh! I have one!! Cherry-Picker Park! (nm)

My friend and I are going to the amusement park first day of school..

I park my six kids in front of the EE-lectronic babysitter
for 12 hours a day while I work. We got cable TV, videogames and DVDs up the old wazoo to keep them mesmerized. Every now and then, I throw a bag of chips and a six pack of soda in there for 'em to chow down on. Heck, I always know where they are. They aren't a bit of trouble for me. Iffen I keep the curtains closed, they fall asleep a lot, too. They do all the housework for me in the evening while I sit on the porch drinking a cold pack of Schmidt beers and smoking cigarettes with my latest boyfriend. Then we go to the bar while his four kids and my six kids watch movies until closing. We was thinking about renting a Winnebago to go camping, but the kids don't want to miss a single episode of their favorite shows.
Yep, 8 hrs in a hot kitchen on the burger broiler, at an amusement park.

We are talking about DisneyWorld Transcription, not theme park. Something else entirely.
:+
Also plan on getting a cooling unit to park laptop on
they run anywhere from $30 to $100 depending on features. Worth it definitely to run a laptop for 6 hours or more to keep the unit cool.

Obviously in whatever was said about trailer parks,
nobody was referring to you and you seem to have taken it too personally. No flames here. Just understand, trailer parks got their bad name long before you came along. Yes, there are some nice ones out there, but the majority that get into the spotlight get there because of bad things. So, don't take it personally unless it applies to you and hopefully now that you've had your rant you feel better.
Trailer "trash"
I also live in a mobile home but not in a park at the present time.We have our own five acres of land. We get this slander type of talk all the time. Half of my relatives live in nice double wides. Who cares?? At least we are not paying big bucks per month for a house payment just to keep up with the Joneses. When some of the people who live in fancy houses lose their jobs, their house will be the first thing to hit the auction block. We owned a huge house in a nice neighborhood but since being retired, who needs all that upkeep plus the high taxes???
I say live and let live. I personally like mobile homes, trailers, double wides,manufactured housing--whatever you want to call them.
Trailer parks
My neighborhood will allow it, but they have a lot of obstacles -- fortunately. I don't even thing trailer park developers or landlords care about the folks they sell to. Trailers DEPRECIATE in value, unlike standard housing. Banks won't even lend money to finance or mortgage them. You have to finance them through other means, usually with high interest rates. Not a smart investment.
Trailer Parks
Where the heck have yu been? I know may peple with great educations.. problem is the job market is pathetic. You sound like a person from SNOBSVILLE.. you ought to me up with my ex. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about living a mobile park. and for your information lady, you bettr have good credit and a good recommendation or else the will not take you in some of the trailer parks. You are a snob and an arrogant woman. Where you from NEW YORK? Have you ever lived in a a mobile home park. Most low income could NOT afford it, after all when you have to pay 500 bucks a month for lot rent. you are so full of it....I live in a mobile home court and Love it. it's clean, with security, and there are no old mobile homes in this court. Get off your high horse...GEEZ.. THEY DO REQUIRE CREDIT CHECKS MS SMARTY PANTS.
Don't need to be cleaning no trailer.
Y'all can jist haul it off and git you a new one iffen it gets dirty.
I would rather have someone haul it than me with a trailer (sm)
We had to rent a trailer to put behind out pickup one time to go pick up some jet skis. It was only about a 90 mile drive, but it was a horror. We went through a lot of construction and the lanes were narrow. I wasn't driving, but if I had been, I would have crashed. DH was even amazed that he got them through without scraping the sides. Even if it costs a little extra, I think it would be well worth it to have it hauled for you. They will insure it. I know it has "special value", but I'm sure it will be fine. Good luck. Let us know how you make out.
Lived in a trailer for years
The only reason I'm not still in one is because I moved in with my boyfriend who had a bigger house. If I was by myself, I would buy another trailer. I was always perfectly happy in mine; actually, I loved it, and could afford it, without going into serious debt. I would buy a newer trailer right now if my boyfriend would agree, because I hate a 2-story, but haven't convinced him yet.
A trailer would be an improvement over my house.
I would love to be able to afford a nice trailer. At least most of them have two bathrooms. Right now they are out of my league. I live in an older house on a farm (170 acres that we have paid for). I am not sure I would enjoy living in a "park", but more because of the lack of privacy than for pride. Now there are really nice upscale communities of manufactured homes. Of course there are still a lot of snobs around who look down at their noses at anyone who does not live up to perceived standards. My brother works for a dealership. I have visited and looked at those homes. Some of them are out of this world. Some are made up to the quality of a regular house and cost accordingly. With some of the shoddy construction I have seen in new homes lately, no one really can honestly say that these houses are any better than a "trailer".
The trailer I had was not on a permanent foundation,
the wheels were removed, and the interest rate was not outrageous.
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
college kids in trailer parks? where?
that's a new one. i never saw a trailer park on campus or even near a campus.
Trailer Fabulous is on MTV tonight at 10 where they makeover trailers.
A glimpse into the real trailer parkers. Really they makeover real trailers for real trailer park residents.
So you DO have a moose-head hanging from the wall of your trailer?
walked right into that one, Ellie Mae!
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Agreed. I always found them to be a match made in trailer heaven
trailer parks and low level housing is where criminals generally go.
not too many criminals have good jobs to afford a nice house. i know of child molester filled neighborhood because there are no restrictions, no HOA and the houses are low income homes. no this doesn't only happen in trailer parks but crime statistically happens more often in worse neighborhoods and more ex-criminals statistically live in lower level neighborhoods.
okay, i create a nice living with my meth lab. now what. i move to a trailer?
create a crack house?
how do you even get through the door with --sm
that big head of yours?! keep up your attitude and one of these days someone is going to adjust it for you. then we will be LOL

I do woodburning as a hobby and when I bought my woodburning tool, it came with a *hot knife* attachment, which is a small blade that screws into the woodburning tool and heats up. It cut through this fairly thick plastic quite well. It took about a half an hour, which was less than having tried to cut it with a utility scissors or knife. worked for me! :^)
What's behind door #3?
I'm in it because I have an interest in the medical field, but I'm too squeamish to do the hands-on stuff! :-P I won't get rich doing MT, but so far it's paying the bills.
AT&T is going door to door here trying to get
for cable, internet and phone. They knocked on my door and told me how much less it would be per month if I went with them. No way. I don't trust AT&T back from the days when they were a monopoloy and I had no choice but to use them for my long distance. I swore if I ever had a choice I would NEVER use them again. Time Warner may be more expensive than AT&T, but I'd rather pay more for Time Warner than give AT&T any of my business. And I don't trust them not to jack up the prices. I've been a happy Time Warner customer for many years now and unless they jack their prices up drastically, I'm staying with them. My internet is NEVER out more than just a brief period, and that rarely happens. The phone service is cheaper than AT&T and the cable is fine (DH uses the TV part more than I do).
Well you can always strap one around your neck :)
Think about it. The possibilities are endless when you learn to be "without hands" doing this job.
If it is lunchtime, cutting a sandwich into 6 individual pieces and stabbing each piece with a toothpick works very well as you only have to do one bite at a time and your keyboard doesn't get nasty from touching the bread.
For dessert, don't buy Reeses peanut butter cups. The "Popable" Reeses fit nicely into a small cup that you can toss a mouthful from whenever the urge hits you.
I don't recommend anything that you actually have to pick up with your fingers, i.e., Cheese Doodles, Doritos, salt and vinegar chips, etc., as the keyboard gets really icky and you lose time that way or you have to wipe the residue on your pants or a leftover coffee filter.
I've also found that a straw works well with coffee once it has cooled down to tepid, as it usually does before you expect it.
stiff neck
What do you do for a stiff neck from working at the computer too long? Mine is killing me today.
