Pat Day retires from horse racing -- It is a sad day for race fans everywhere! We wish him the best
in his retirement, although I hear he's going to stay busy behind the scenes with the chaplaincy program at the horse tracks. We're gonna miss him here in Ky--
Racing Stripes is really good

Of course you may get the motor-mouths. Not good

I vote for a very pastel raspberry with red racing stripe of varying widths.nm

Electric motor repairman. I'll never match his pay.
But the more you make the more you spend.
I was told my Pontiac had a Toyota Corolla motor
chances are--you aren't really. Girl don't feel guilty...go on and work for who makes you happy!
Here in North Carolina they get to operate a motor vehicle at age 15 when accompanied by
a licensed driver. No, they do not state WHO has to be the licensed driver (i.e. friend, neighbor, etc) or how long the licensed driver needs to be licensed, but at 14.5 years they start driver's education in the schools! It is ridiculous to me, as they are children operating a very dangerous toy and I pray they up the age before my children reach it, as I do not feel children possess the maturity and forethought to drive at such a young age.
significant other
My boyfriend or significant other drives a sweeper truck for an individual company and sweeps parking lots like Wal Mart, malls, etc.
Are there significant changes in 3rd BOS? sm
How many changes do I have to learn now? Does it ever end? I guess buying #2 and the CD was flushing money down the drain. I know - whatever the client wants - but they didn't agree with #2, so we shall see how #3 goes.
sorry, don't think it's either new or damage control
wow! do you know if it was a significant amount?
Floor damage
I know a lady who sold flooring for years. She advised me never to use rugs with rubber backing on vinyl (sp?) floors for just this reason. We never went into how to repair the damage if it happened, though. You might try calling someplace that sells and installs floors.
he underestimated the damage it
No one thought it would actually be this bad. I'm shocked at what i'm seeing on the news. When they said it was coming, I thought they were for the most part blowing smoke. I never knew people could just be left to die like this in the U.S. Its hard to comprehend in this day and age and country, that WE could be wiped out by a natural distaster.
She was just trying to do damage control (for herself of course)
and you're right - she was told to leave, she didn't leave on her own volition. She just wanted to make it look that way to save face.
Wow! This REEKS of damage control!
What kind of damage that far in? I am not really worried about
the house falling in on us. The only thing that reall concerns me is the possibility of tornadoes. When Alicia came through, she was only a 3, but she had around 30 tornadoes. That is what concerns me.
How often do you talk by phone with your significant other? (sm)
And one who is not living with you?
Is it every day, every other day?
I'm pretty annoyed with mine right now as he was supposed to call me LAST night, someone calls and hangs up and leaves no message. I only stepped out for a moment, excuse me! This to me is immature and as much as I hate to ignore people at Christmas time, I think he deserves it.
I have been annoyed with this dope for 2 days now. Honestly, I think if you care about somebody you should talk every day unless there is some kind of explanation. 
I bet there are a lot of MT's on this board living with significant others (sm)
Is one sin worse than another? Maybe we better take this to the religion board. You've got my dander up now.
I have noticed an significant increase
in the cost of living. I do not know whether to attribute this to the cost of gas rising or Hurricane Katrina and the gulf ports out of commission but items on the shelf seem about 15% higher in general than just 1-2 years ago save for paper products.
I do not know how a family can do it and not go into severe debt and I really do believe that is how many are making it, using their charge cards to pay day to day expenses.
No Ernesto damage or evacuation here either!
Whew! Another close call.  Today is a beautiful, sunny (and muggy) day!
Wishing those in the Carolinas the same good fortune
What kind of water damage is what I would like to know sm..
Was it leaking from basement walls into basement or did someone leave water running and cause a flood, or was it sewer backup, or what is a natural flood? Any kind of water damage really stinks!! We had the unfortunate situation happen to us years ago when their was flooding all around us, but we did fine, that is, until the sewer system backed up into our basement about 4 feet high! This was so gross, I don't think I'll ever get over it, however, we had it professionally cleaned and disinfected and threw EVERYTHING out, so hopefully that solved any health issues, so we are told. Anyway, we invested $600 into a backup valve so that it will never happen again. I have wanted to move ever since just because it was so gross and I can't get the image out of my head, but 4 years later, we are still here, kids and all. So, the moral of the story I am trying to get at is this....they were supposed to be upfront and honest about the water damage problem and they were not, which leads me to believe that they have something to hide. Therefore, you should potentially be able to get any money back because of this if you can prove that it was withheld information on the contract. If you just love the house that much, go ahead with the inspection and find out what kind of water damage it was. If it checks out with inspector, I would strongly suggest you have it professionally cleaned/disinfected to be safe, and expect it to maybe happen again and consider that thoroughly. Personally, if we ever go to sell this house, I will be up front about it because even though we seemed to have fixed the problem, it is very possible it can happen again. Hope this all makes sense. Good luck.
Only if you have health benefits from your significant other.....
would it be beneficial. If you need the health insurance, than keep the employee status.
I do contract with hospitals; however, I have insurance through my husband, and it works out very well for me; however, if I had to pay the premiums for health insurance, I would be looking for an employee-based position.
I have been contracting with hospitals for 18 years now. The pay is sometimes higher on production, but not always. If you have a good thing going, try to keep it.
Yes, there seems to be a tremendous amount of damage control on her lately by MQ. What is going on
 and they are just as nasty as my office has been becoming lately with everyone worrying about their jobs now that our accounts have been switched to the NE region out of the local office.
Ah, Jeez Louise, damage control again (sm)
Psychology 101, name calling will get you no where. 
She is single but has a significant other named “Mark.”
Are you really dealing with a weight issue that significant?
Cable is still faster, though there isn't a significant difference.
My DSL goes out frequently and for periods of time. When my cable went out it was only for about 15 minutes at most. I had cable through Time Warner and they suck big time, which is the only reason I don't still have cable. It will take a little time adjusting because you will notice a difference, but it isn't significant and you'll get used to it.
CT of head - No significant collecting system dilatation??
Is the radiologist going to sleep here or is there collecting system structures in the brain (such is vessels)?
Thanks in advance!
IC's and SE's without spouses or significant others (benefits question), please read ... sm
I've scanned the archives and either I'm not searching correctly or there's no substantial info posted on this.
For those of you who've made the career choice that either IC or SE is a good fit for you and who don't have a spouse or significant other on whom you can 'piggyback' for benefits, what provisions have you made for your medical, dental, and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and retirement funding? In addition, if you've found a way to provide for this, how and where did you go about finding coverage for yourself as an independent?
I'd really appreciate any help that you can give in this area as I have a once-in-a-lifetime SE opportunity available to me that I won't be able to take unless I can figure out a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
mostly trees limbs causing damage by falling on wires and rooftops
much minor roof damage and blew signs down around in those towns, enough to tell there was a storm, but NOTHING like further south!
It's gonna take more than one person to change things. Until all American MTs realize the damage
things will keep going downhill. We need to all write letters, inform people, push for legislation that will prevent American patients' protected medical data from being offshored. We need to boycott any MTSOs that offshore and we should not accept peanuts for our skills.
That's what it will take, but with MTs like you who call us whiners for voicing our frustrations, concerns, and opinions and who sit around doing nothing, we will all lose.
Thank you! I don't really know how many fans it has.
It is a fairly new computer so it probably has more than one. It vents through the side through a long slotted vent the entire length of the computer. I'm going to try the canned air from Wall-Mart to see if that helps.
Y&R fans...
or 2...
1st: How in the world is it that Jill and Katherine are mother and daughter????
2nd: Is Brad Ashely's baby's daddy? Or is Victor? Or does she even know for sure?
I have just recently started watching it again after about 4 years off and need a little catching up...
Are there any 24 fans out there.
This has got to be the best show on TV and I can't understand why everyone is not watching it. Jack Bauer is awesome.....
Any Y&R fans out there?
Is it me or have they gotten hookie? It's almost like they're making this up as they go along.
Any ER fans?
I've missed a few episodes as it just wasn't pulling me in like in the past. I love Sally Field and remembered she was guess starring and turned it on but 1/2 hour into the show. But now I'm lost! What happened to Sam? And is Luka leaving?
Do you use one of those pc fans ?....
I would love to be in sun, hear the birds chirping away and still be able to work.
Thank you for responding. I appreciate it so much..
They do have fans but ....sm
I heard that it is good to also have the ones they make to go under the laptop. The laptop sits on it and plugs into your USB port and it runs that way.
computer fans
I had a noisey fan on my computer, filled with dust. Computer tech told me every month to dust the back of the tower and make sure that the fan does not have dirt/dust on it. He did this with computer unplugged and then he took a little vacuum and vacuumed the fan off of dust. Of course if you have cats in the house or dogs, that makes it worse. Hope this might help you as a simple solution, otherwise needs to be replaced.
Any Big Brother Fans?
Missed tonights show - who got evicted?
Any Starting Over fans?
Season 3 started yesterday - but I'm afraid I only watched season 1. Anyone hooked on this show? I loved the first group of women - except for Nyanza!
Any Nip/Tuck fans out there??nm

Hey, Steelers fans!
Check out this link - wierd but cool
GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!
Any fans of The Office ?
Can I just say that I LOVE this show!!! I think it is so funny and well-written. Steve Carell is perfect in that role, and all the characters seem to be perfectly cast. You gotta love Dwight! This is my favorite show to come along in quite a while! My husband and I both laugh out loud, and not too many shows do that to you anymore.
laptop fans
do you know if some already have a fan built in? This is all new to me. I just ordered a laptop from Dell and would also love to be outside at times doing my work. I want to feel alive too! thanks in advance!
This was sent out to Atlanta
employees, not personalized to one MT.
Any Atlanta MTs?
 I am getting so frustrated with this office. The supervisors have turned into a bunch of robots. The only explanation you can get for what is going on is "I don't know, that is just what they told me to tell you." Who is THEY? Why are statutory employee being allowed over time and the full time employees are NOT allowed over time? What is going on here? Why has the whole atmosphere and morale changed? I don't mind typing the crappy accounts or working the crappy hours, but I will not be treated like a no count and be told things on a need to know basis. I just don't understand... and who is over the Regional MT Manager??
DSG in Atlanta, GA (nm)
Atlanta, GA
Atlanta, GA
about 12-13 cpl/gross line
about 17-18 cpl/65-character line
I'd go to Atlanta - nm
