One of my mom's friends has a whole closet with nothing but toilet tissue in it.

It seems like there is ALWAYS a reason, it's just hard to figure. I'll do that sometimes, come home with a whole bag of something, open the cupboard and realize i already have it!

I'm in my bedroom closet, too! (sm)
Didn't wanna say that cause it sounds weird, but it's big, has a window, and shelves. It's quiet and out of the way. I can close the door and forget about it when I'm not working, but can't quite remember when that is!
Wow, I really don't feel so alone now! 
sort of, I'm in our bedroom closet.
The three other bedrooms are occupied by our kids. I used to have one of the bedrooms before daughter moved back home, but I rather like the closet, it's very quiet.
Somebody give me a tissue
I am going to cry!
Unfortunately I don't. I've had it for a long time in the closet. nm

tissue paper and other craft
Hi: try www.kidsturncentral.com and click on Christmas to see if there is anything there you could use for the kids. Hope you find something. Happy Holidays.
tissue paper snowball fight
kleenex, tissue, butcher paper and/or cotton balls. then you can "build" a snowman with it - which coincidentally gets it all picked up:)
I took the doors off a big walk-in closet in our bedroom and set up in there. Cozy, cute, out of

frosted jars with tissue paper and glue..
like we did in kindegarten class. You could use white tissue paper, watered down glue and a clear sealer. I can't say that I have tried this technique on plastic. Hope this helps.
Soft tissue work with chiropractic care
Moving/manipulating the skeletal system without addressing muscle/tendons/ligaments is useless because the bones will misalign again if adhesions, etc. in muscles (from previous injuries, bad biomechanics, gravity's effects on our up-right postures,etc.) are not dealt with. I'm in my late 40's so I speak from experience. Muscles are often the culprits that pull bones out of proper alignment. Stretching muscles with adhesions is moot. Consider most of the time we are bending forward in our daily lives; psoas muscles get stronger but back muscles (S.I. ligaments) do not.
Soft-tissue work is essential. Chiropractic care alone doesn't complete the job, hence, need for repeated visits over months/years.
Hope this helps.
Does anyone know of a way to make a tissue paper (or anything else cheap) wreath using handprints?
I am trying to come up with something cheap since I am the only one footing the craft bill for 25 kids!! I have all of their handprints and was thinking it would be a nice keepsake craft to have them make a wreath with them. I was going to use foam, but it is way to expensive to buy enough to make a wreath for 25 kids! I was thinking of using tissue paper and just cutting about a zillion handprints of each kid out and putting them together to form a wreath. Any ideas on how to make that work? A few years ago the class made the other kind of tissue paper wreath where you just wrap strips of tissue around the hanger and it turned out pretty nice. This would be nice too, since it would be with the kids' handprints. Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks everyone and Happy holidays!
I have a greyhound that absolutely hates storms, hides in the walk-in closet for at least an hour
after they are over. She shakes, also, and if this gets bad, I give her Dramamine when I know a storm is coming up. You might do this when storms are predicted, shouldn't do anything but calm them down and make them a little drowsy. Also, be sure and give the medication for the first time when you are going to be around in case your dog has an adverse reaction. Check with your vet for dosage -- Have a greyt day and hope this helps!
My production went in the toilet....

toilet mouths
I live next to two toilet mouths. They are constantly getting "divorced" and never do. They yell the "f" word at each other and have used it on both my husband and I if we go outside to sit on our deck. He thinks if he goes out to smoke a cigarette, we shouldn't be sitting there. He thinks we are "watching him." We have never said anything to them about this as they are incapable of a decent conversation. Once my husband did ask them not to throw stuff on our property because if a leaf off our tree falls in their yard, or as much as a stick off a branch, they throw it back in ours. Once he threw a shovel of acorns back on our property and when I knocked at the window, he told me to go (you know what) myself. How do you tell this to the cops if they're not present? I have to bring the grandchildren in during their "f" word fights, as their parents would never use foul langugage in front of them. I am not a saint, but I'm sick of having to close my windows. She goes out with her girlfriends and they come home drunk and hollering at 2:00 AM but just enough to wake everyone and then they go in and finish their night out. He tells her he is "way far up from her" whatever that means, and he goes out with his buddies.He toots the horn if the girlfriends park in his parking spot at 2:00 am, how do you explain this? Things would be quiet by the time the police arrive.  Apparently she wants to buy him out but can't get a mortgage, so they both stay and fight. We have never in 18 years seen them go out together. How can you call the cops and tell them you don't want to live like this? Am I the "word police" or what? I'm tired of living like this. I plan to stay where I am but honestly hope there is a typhoon or something that will blow that house out of my back yard.She yells constantly that she has a right to "live her life." She has an expired CNA and calls herself a "private duty nurse" although all she does is clean peoples' houses and take them shopping. At one point she took an 81-YO Alzheimer's patient home with her and offered him some wine and used the "f" word on him because she apparently sleeps there a few nights a week while his people go out to the casino and he wakes her up singing. Other than record her, which would not stand up in court, how do you deal with this type of behavior? I am sure the police have better to do and need more evidence. I would love to get some of these long "f" word fights on tape and end it all and get them arrested, especially knowing people pay her to care for their loved ones. She brags that any money she makes goes "right in here," pointing to her bra. Where are the laws to protect us and to protect people who prey on the elderly?
They can ask you to scrub a toilet sm
if they want to. You have a warped way of looking at working.
It is definitely a BOY thing w/toilet training..nm
Friends, really miss Friends :-(
Joey just isn't the same for me 
Cleaning the toilet. I live with five males.
Why should I have to clean it? I don't miss!!!
I disagree. If you ALLOW this industry to go in the toilet and move to another
with the next career and the next and the next? When will it stop? When WE put a stop to it! It's common sense.
No self-respecting prostitute would clean someone's toilet either
Such low expectations. Sad.
My mother in law has tons of toilet paper too!
I mean probably 30-40 rolls at any given time and always feels the need to get more. She says she does that because she was poor as a child and she feels secure when she has a lot of something. She also buys tons canned food, shampoo and soap. Everbody has their reason and it really probably is all about feeling secure having what you think you need.
I would do ANYTHING else. Cleaning skids/splatters/pubes off in a stranger's toilet

I've heard worse. I had one doc who dictated while on the toilet and didn't even wash his han
Mine used to vomit with the toilet flushing or while in the shower. Never made any noise at all.

A little help from my *friends*
I have been doing this for 36 years and I have used word expanders and normals for more than 20 years. It sure helps when you are typing *the patient* practically every paragraph. I just type tpt and viola...same with the headings, Review of Systems, etc. Every little bit helps. To those who dont use expanders and normals, just think how much more money you could be making and how less tired and sore you would be at the end of the day. *Long live the expanders*.
friends
My daughter is 20 and I still can't stand her friends...........
friends.
Excellent post. Your kids are lucky to have parents like you and your husband.
One of my friends did that...
for the exact same reason. However, their first ceremony was private, and they did not expect anyone to give them gifts for both weddings. But in your case, I would think a gift for the first wedding would be more helpful to them since they may not have all the things they need for their home together. I certainly would not feel the need to buy for both ceremonies.
have many friends? lol
lololol
Looking for old friends
I have been trying to locate some people form my old High School - Figured with all of you out there someone might know someone and pass this on. I went to Garrett Hign School during 1977 thru 1981.
Sonia Suppan Bugher and Carissa Babson Snyder
Lost track of them many years ago, and there are so many people looking for them now - we were all concerned when they disappeared. Last I heard Carissa was in NC and Sonia in Oklahoma. Tried classmates.com and theya r elisted as "missing" LOL. Who knows maybe they are MT's too.
You are in need of some friends.
Q
I have friends here in ND who say it too.
And, I grew up with an English teacher for my mother, so I know what you mean. Always corrected but now I have a great grasp of the English language.
I'm not saying I want to be best friends with my supervisor,
I rarely take time off unless its an emergency, in fact its been a couple years, and not too long ago there was an emergency with my health. My supervisor only told me she needed me on working asap, did not inquire about my health, wish me well or to get better. Its just work work work...which seems kind of cold to me.
When I worked for a local office and knew them for years, as for favors, meaning i'll work my fingers to the bone, settle for getting no raises whatsoever, not complain, just give me work that i'm the most proficient at so we both win, like predominantly operative reports or maybe even psych.
friends and family to appreciate me at my job?
I doubt you're getting raises and I doubt you use your money for "others" and you as well are a poor judge of character. This initial post was about supervisors interacting more with their MTs so we can put a face with the name and feel like we have someone in our corner, being that we are so remote from coworkers. Obviously, we disagree, lets agree to do that much. You just sit and type away and collect your paycheck.
Oh, I don't know. I've got way more friends now than ever before.
I know all the parents at the school. It's so funny. When I used to work fulltime outside the home, nobody ever waved to me at the schools and hardly anybody came to the kids' birthday parties. If I had a day off and picked up the kids at the school, I'd watch all the other parents talking together but was never included. Now I'm part of it all. I get invited to go to the gym and do coffee or lunch. It's great! I never had time for any of it before.
Going into medicine. I have 2 MT friends
who are already in medical school. One MT I worked with at a large hospital is now an anesthesiologist making about $300K a year. Hahaha Should I hope to do so well. Hahaha
Know 1 who is a psychotherapist now. Know 1 who got her MBA and works in government contracting and 1 who got his MS and works for JCAHO.
Lots of things to do out there! It's much easier to decide what you want to do now that you're experienced in life and know what the real investments and rewards are. I'd go on to commercial flight school if I weren't going into medicine. I have a private license. Would LOVE to be Lear certified! Would love to fly a medical helicopter. You can get funding for those flight programs, too! Not a traditional classroom setup. If I don't get into med school, I may be doing that! Hahaha
why does she invite the friends?
what if it these 2-3 couples that she invites over do not have family that they can visit during the holidays? that could be why she has them over every holiday.
lost friends
Have you tried Reunion.com?
My best friend in high school found me after ten years recently. He found me on reunion.com, and then found my phone number on superpages.com and contacted me. We had both been looking for each other for ten years, and finally he found me. Good luck!
Or his kids' friends...LOL

I have plenty of friends...sm
that I know from different places, clubs included, but that doesn't mean that I'm having an affair with any of them...male or female! Before I was married my best friend and I went to a particular club to dance...it was great exercise and more fun than going to a gym. I made several friends there who are strictly friends. We were all single, enjoyed each other's company, and liked to dance...nothing nasty ever went on. In fact, many times my male friends made it easy to shake men whose attention I didn't want. Sometimes people go out just because it is more fun than watching TV. Hubby and I went to the club a couple of weeks ago and I introduced him to people that I knew there. I would hate to think that because I introduced him to people that he would think I'm having an affair. I don't know if I'd be more hurt because he didn't trust me, or because he thought I was dumb enough to take him someplace and introduce him to someone I would have an affair with!
I would also hate to think that my husband would search my cell phone and check the numbers he didn't recognize. My son is in the military and at times his friends have called because they consider me a second mom or are trying to get in touch with my son. Nevermind that just about everyone has had someone call their phone and it has been a wrong number!
If someone gave me a real reason to check up on them, I probably would, but to check up on someone 'just to be sure' is insulting. If someone I care about can't come to me and talk rationally about their fears, then we don't have much of a relationship!
So, you are friends with his wife?
I loved watching his shows...so sad. Hope his family is making it through this okay.
OH... wasn't it! My friends and I were all saying that.
It was like that's all we get after all that anticipation! lol! But it is getting better already. I just love Bailey.
Did you see on Fox & Friends this morning...
or the news in general, that the group from Kansas that has been protesting at soldiers' funerals is coming to PA (that's where I'm from) to protest AT THE FUNERALS because of something Gov. Rendell said about them?
Yay! I have friends! Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm just trying to keep it honest. nm

I have friends who feel the same way
Not necessarily just MT friends, but in general. Some enjoy the independence of working for themselves. I on the other hand don't think I make a very good boss! I for some reason prefer mostly to be a cog in a machine. I'm glad there is something for everyone. Sometimes trying different ways helps a person figure out what is the best fit for them.
Going fishing at the crick with friends.
Having a BBQ and fireworks with the kids. Then we're having a big birthday party for a couple of people in the family.
For parents, what do you think of your kids' friends?
I am wondering if it's ME or if it's my kids' friends that's the problem. I just can't stand barely any of them. We have little sailors running around cussing, compulsive liars, thieves, two-faced "unfriends", blackmailers, anger management problems, slobs, and perverts running around here. And the violent and graphically disgusting games these kids try to play. Is this everywhere? Or am I just overly sensitive? Parents can't choose their kids' friends because the kids'll rebel against the control, right? I just feel like I can't have anyone over here because I'm constantly correcting them and cleaning up after them. They don't listen worth a darn anyway. I certainly don't want my kids to go to their houses if these kids behave this badly here.
I tried going into details, but this post got so long. I don't think it's our neighborhood either because we have to drive for playdates with some of these kids. What, do we just attract the people with issues? I try to tell myself that these are just kids or perhaps their home life isn't in line with the same value system as we have. I try to be tolerant because some of these kids have had problems in their lives. However, having problems is no excuse for bad behavior. I'm no perfect prude and neither are my kids. We've had our share of problems. I also know I can't "shelter" my kids from the outisde world. But geez, it's just ridiculous. Whatever happened to the days when parents were parents and kids behaved? Children should not be cussing, stealing and telling horrific stories of murder and incest.
To give you an example, one of these little punks even told the whole neighborhood that my husband and I were druggies and dealers. We found out about it when our elderly neighbor came over and told us. We've always been totally against drugs, not even experimenting with them when we were teens. Plus, we both have to go through yearly drug screening tests at work, too. What is with the world today?
Love your handle, Ma of 4 and their friends and
I can relate. I was mom to my kids' friends, too. I swore many time to claim them as dependents on my tax returns. They practically lived at my house.
One of our friends' child just passed away.
What do you do for someone in this situation? I know to send a card and go to the service. I don't think flowers are a good idea because people send so many that it's just a hassle to find somewhere to put them until you have to throw them away. Money, a cooked meal? I spazzed out and didn't know what to say to them except we're here for you. I can't believe I got up this morning griping about my own situation when so many other people have so much that's worse.
Yes. One of my best friends -- she began seeing married men
which was intolerable to me. I tried to look the other way. She wouldn't even try to hide it from me...wanting to talk about it, wanting me to MEET them. I finally just told her that I loved her very much and enjoyed our friendship but that something had changed so drastically for her to believe it is okay to live like this and it was in direct conflict with everything in my life. I just could not support someone who was intentionally pursuing such a hateful, devastating lifestyle. These weren't mistakes. She saw men she wanted and it was a game to her.
It hurt me very much. Many people who didn't know the reasons behind it blamed me for being a horrible person for dumping my best friend.
It was hard not to discuss her lifestyle to defend my actions.
I feel for you.
you ask all your friends to email you rather than call. nm

I used to work in a clinic, and have friends who do now.
7 years ago I worked in a clinic and lost the job when the clinic joined a larger physician group who outsourced transcription. I went to work for the company they were using then. With that change I almost doubled my income. That MTSO later went out of business. Ironically, now I work for the MTSO who currently has that account. Some of my coworkers with the first company have gone to work for a large clinic in the area who has brought some MT work back in-house. They took a cut in pay but have better benefits and much better hours. I have found that you pretty much have to be in the right place at the right time, or know somebody. The first clinic job I got was when I went to apply at the local hospital and the director at the hospital sent me over to the clinic. Almost all of the opportunities I have gotten over the years have come from knowing someone. Sometimes the best thing to do is to ask around. I know a lot of transcriptionists in the area, and several people who work in clinics in the area. This is where I get most of my leads.
