She could probably sell the purse on the street for cash, then use the cash for drugs. nm

I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
What about my cash flow problem?
She owes me for 2 weeks work.
Good for you!! We are the same as far as paying with cash.
It was (and still is occasionally) hard to be patient and save for what you want instead of using credit, but it is so, so, so worth it!! Nothing like peace of mind and not being "owned" by creditors and employers. Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing. 
Is it unheard of to cash in PTO with national?
I have 75 hours of PTO and wonder if the national I am with (starts with an S and ends with an S) would allow me to cash it in? This thought just occurred to me so will call HR when I have time to but just wondered if anyone has done this and is it an unreasonable request.
Thanks
Yeah, i need the extra cash
my husband passed away in january. I need the promotion or I have to get a second job and I thought to work at home would be good because I still have a 15 year old at home. Oh well, I was trying to get prepared, but God will provide. I'm sure it will all work out. The hospital I work for has been very good to me so I count my blessings there. Thanks!
The difference between a refi with cash out and a
home line is there is a variable rate with a home equity line of credit. The refi with cash out finance rate is 4.625% right now.
Ew. My DH listens to Johnny Cash and the Highwaymen.
I tell him it's canner music. I've listened to AC/DC for 25 years, but I listen to a lot of other types of music, too. My kids were surprised because they didn't know I listened to AC/DC and they like it, too. They don't like Johnny Cash or the Highwaymen either. At least AC/DC isn't rap or thrash metal. (Angus rules!) My son's learning to play electric guitar and he likes all those old rock bands.
Unless you work in a bank or at a cash register,
doubt they would do a credit check. I remember telling my employer during my interview about my Ch13, explaining the surgery, the divorce, the agony...she sat there and then said "we don't do credit checks." This was at a major hospital. Background checks only.
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
I havent had insurance in many, many years, I pay cash and like SM
the poster below I usually get a 20% discount, but you have to call around to find out who will give it to you. My DD had to have an MRI last year and I got a big discount on that too by calling around.
Originally, insurance was intended for hospitalization, not regular doctor visits. I dont know how it evolved into this monster we have now, but it sure has driven the cost up.
hey if you can afford it and a supervisor's approval means more to you than cash, have at it.
i want the luck of the draw. you think your supervisor is going to pay your bills when she routes crap to you and it takes you twice as long to do a report? all you do is make her look good and she gets a raise.
It's true that if you cash a check, they are no longer liable, but
with direct deposit, we are not given the choice to cash it or deny it. Wonder how that direct deposit affects that choice.
But you have learned nothing. Ever hear of paying cash for what you want, instead of financing?
Buy him a Johnny Cash CD, my kids are singing their hearts out right now to JC.

Hey if you have the cash more power to you. Obviously the rest of the country doesn't.
Everytime I go into a Walmart I see poor folks shopping and I never see poor folks in high-end stores with la-de-dah staff snubbing them. We just can't afford the prices independents need to charge the consumer.
Seems to be getting paid with a cash "card" instead of a check. Done at other types of

For extra cash I just started donating blood plasma SM
to BioLife, owned by Baxter. They pay about $50 a week for this (put on debit card). Does anyone else do this, and what other things like this is anyone aware of? It's not as gross as it sounds, just like giving blood, and they separate your plasma from the blood and give you your blood back.
slow periods, seek alternative extra cash? sm
Docs, like us, have busy family lives. I found that after Hannukah and Christmas (or sometimes with a break from family stuff) they "catch up" on dictation. Hopefully, this is what still happens. I have a son who is a professional and he likes to go in on Christmas Eve morning because it's so "slow" that he can get a lot of paperwork done. So hang in. Another aspect of today's world is that docs are carrying laptops now as is my family PCP and they are all doing their own notes. I think it's a "wait and see" thing, the world is changing and hopefully there is a survival tool for us somewhere. We are all being replaced by technology, sadly. Only time will tell. I was told several years ago that I should go into "scoping" which is kind of like editing, etc., you go into public stenographers machine gibberish and make sense out of it, kind of like making sense out of what comes back from India. I was offered this but refused to clean up someone else's "mess." Everyone should be thinking of alternative ways to get by, it's never easy. It's sad, as I have put a lot of time and $$$ into a profession that doesn't appreciate my knowledge. From your posts, Blondie, you have a good heart. I hope things get better for you. Try to have a happy holiday. How did you make out with those dogs you took in? Did the owner take them back or at least pay you? This may be an alternative few extra bucks for you. You seem to be an animal lover and a caring person.I don't live near you, but I would rather leave my Golden with you than some kennels around here. Thus, I do not go away if I can't take my dog. Hope things pick up for you work-wise.
I agree -- check, cheque, chex, etc. -- who cares as long as you can cash it? :-) sm
It is rather disappointing to see a bunch of professionals bickering over such a trivial issue.
I keep the minimum amount of cash in the bank. I may sound paranoid but I fully
there to be locked up. The banks are scampering around if you notice. They have written notices that they can raise your interest rate to 28% or more for just about no reason on the credit cards. I think they have let way too much money borrowed out be on the books, and now the little man is having to pay either with money, or his financial credit.
If you read about GOLD, gold is selling for a lot, all over the world, even in this supposed stable time. That's a sign they say that things aren't as steady as the powers that be want you to believe.
Do you have time to waitress? Would be fast cash if you're willing. And home health aides get pai

I can use the deduction now, and when old and ready to sell, hope sell price is high enough won't
matter. Also, I think there is a time frame of not working that negates the job deduction factor.
Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone! 
The one about the expensive purse. Can't you tell? nm
:
Actually, you can get one for about $500+ depending on the purse.

Nothing was missing. She did not take a purse. She only had her ID (to drink) in her pocket.
Everything else was in the hotel room. If she drowned she would have become shark or crab food.
She is only getting the money once. She bought an expensive purse SM
That was her decision. Now she has no money left for food and/or necessities. She has to live with that, not you. Obviously, very foolhardy but you and i do not have control over the situation.
A moldy leather purse, black with different
colored "patches" on it. Something like a 90-YO would carry. I figured she found it while going through her garage. She lived 4 states away so I didn't have to put on an act.
Then there was the time my DH gave me some nightgowns, which I needed, but he bought 2X and I'm a medium.
Love it. I wrote it down but hope I can remember it. Would lose impact if I had to look in purse for

What street?
RadGuy, what street is this Arby's on? According to an old post of yours on MT Stars we live in the same city, and I would like to stay away from that Arby's. Sheesh, what will they think of to offshore next?
There is one right down the street who gets out (sm)
He is cute, but the post office just sent us all a letter to keep our dogs in. I hope he didn't chase the mailman.
Not street names, but how about....
the STUPID names they give the different models of new homes... When we bought ours, they were things like El Capitan, El Sonoro..... etc. We bought the smallest and cheapest model and my DH always said that we bought the EL CHEAPO!

Used to work on Blue Rock STREET...lived with my folks on Blue Rock ROAD...which has about 3 blocks of what people think are Cheviot Road...goes back to Blue Rock Road....then 5 miles away, next street over is OLD Blue Rock Road Road....creates havoc for delivery people
Street names
We have Easy Street and Boardwalk in our subdivision.
I was across the street from his house sm
on a public sidewalk. I kind of think the officer is wrong, too, but I can still file a complaint. Luckily, I had a witness who saw the whole thing, too. I just might go ahead and do it. This hand is hurting where the leash twisted around it. I can move everything okay, it's just pretty bruised.
Street signs
We have a road named Creedmoor Road. You will see signs with it spelled that way, but also Creedmore and Creedmoore. Oy! Hey - I wanna spell it "Criedmore."
Sesame Street! How appropriate.

I am one. Can I change my tune? Maybe I'm across the street.
I won't even use words to describe you - there are none.
My neighbor across the street did that...sold
I was dying to ask her how much she got for her house but didn't want to be too nosy, so I didn't. She was pregnant with twins and near the end of her pregnancy and not able to work full time anymore, and her husband had lost a good job and was working at a lower paying job to just try to get by, and the house only had 2 bedrooms and they already had a son and were having twin girls, and she didn't say but I think they were having trouble paying their mortgage.
Anyway, although I don't know if they got a fair price for their house I know the whole transaction was very fast and easy. She told me that THEY were allowed to set the date that the house changed hands; it was totally up to them. The whole thing was done in a just a couple of weeks, because they wanted to move and get settled into a place (they rented a duplex) with more bedrooms before the twins were born.
She told me that part of the reason they sold it like that was that the house needed some work done to it before they tried to sell it, and they just didn't have the time or the money to do it.
But, I have to say the company that bought it didn't do anything either. She told me they told her they were going to go in and do work to it and then rent or sell it. Well they didn't do a thing that I saw - no one was ever there working on it. They put a sign in the yard that it was for sale or rent and within a couple of weeks someone bought it.
You're full of sh*t. You should see the house across the street...sm
where they live. It's a total DUMP, and this is a pretty nice neighborhood. They've been arrested for selling meth supplies. They dump their garbage behind our house. They dump big pots of ??? (cooking oil, I think) down the storm drain in front of their house.
We tried being nice at first, but with behavior like this, I'm done. These people are just rude.
This is not "being prejudiced." This is having to deal with rude neighbors who are bringing OUR property values down with that weed-infested DUMP over there.
I don't believe you're Indian, just posing as one to stir the pot.
That's the word on the street - hijacked. We'll see. I like

*Ebonics* refers to the street slang, etc. (often heard in -sm
rap music, etc. Lots of white people, Hispanics, and even some Asians (all gangsta' wannabes) speak Ebonics as well. It's practically a second language in itself, so referring Ebonics-speakers to ESL isn't off the mark at all.
Reminds me of transients on street...Will work for food!
Working for 4 cpl and 2 cpl is the same as working for free. To make a measly 40.00 a day, you'd have to type 1000 lines, not to mention that whopping 20.00 you'd make at 2 cpl rate with 1000 lines a day. MT is not easy work regardless of if you have experience or are fresh out of school. Heck, is there even a guarantee you would be given 1000 lines per day?
I can only imagine the portion of the total rate that is pocketed by SS. I will guarantee it's a lot more than 4 cpl she is keeping for herself and charging to her clients.
My advice to anyone considering this internship: Hit your books a bit harder, visit LWW.com, Stedmans.com, obtain reference books with samples, look on MT-related boards for folks offering to mentor, look for MTs needing help with their overflow work, and most of all, have a bit more respect for yourself and don't sell yourself short.
By the way, a minimum wage job pays better, and a tank of gas still costs more.
Sorry for the negativity, but ever since I saw that ad, I've wanted to puke over it.
I'm really sick of the stupid suburbia street names recently too
Trying to sound so woodsy and rustic. Meanwhile the houses all are different shades battle-ship gray and look like they've been stamped out with a cookie cutter. Really lame.
Lady across the street says she wears a "J". I asked does that stand for "jugs?" lol

Idaho case was botched in that a convicted sexual offender was out on the street to
kidnap this little girl and her younger brother. This is what the Arubans were protesting when people are saying they botched a case when this stuff happens in America.
