Teenagers good to be home with - I did the same thing
Posted By: nm on 2005-08-03
In Reply to: I do, because it pays well, I know it inside and out, and I'm home with my kids, - even though they are not babies anymore. nm
 Once had an argument with my boss working in the office, because my hours were supposed to be 7-3, or 3:30. I was on salary (can you believe that) at the time, and she expected me to stay till 5 or 6. She herself used to practically live there. I told her no, I wanted to be home with my kids, and she said they weren't babies anymore and didn't need me. Well, I left everyday after that by 3:30, and believe U me, it is a very good idea to be able to monitor your teenagers, and I would do it again (God forbid I ever had teenagers again) They are all grown now.

staying home w/teenagers
 Can not agree with you more. Where my preteen & teen hated that I was at home all the time, their friends loved it...duh, guess which mom was there to haul them around before they got their drivers lisc. Still think they should be 30 before they can drive
Good thing you work at home
Hopefully one day when you need to vent, you at not treated the way you treat others but what goes around does come around.
Maybe that's a good thing - it's a reason for the Indian docs to GO HOME

I do the same thing except they are home
with me all day. I have the skills to do my job and take care of my children w/o shoving them in daycare. Social graces? From daycare? Okay! The point we are trying to make is that some of us have the ability and patience to raise our children at home and maintain a career at home. If you can't that is fine, but no reason to be negative towards us who can and try to discourage someone else from doing it.
Some prn at home with own equipment, is there such a thing?
 Don't know which board this should go on, as I am looking for some company or practice who will allow me to use my updated equipment, ref. materials, etc., but allow me to "plug into" their system when I have the time as long as I put in a certain amt. of hours per week. I have the experience and the necessary equipment but my circumstances do not allow me to commit to certain hours or days of the week, would just have to play it by ear and be glad to have the chance to work. At one time there was a local company (in NE) which allowed a friend of mine to just "plug in" when she could to relieve them of some of the backed up dictation. She was retired and could only give the a few hours here and there but they were glad to have the help. Is there such a thing anywhere today? Some of the things I read on here make it sound like there's a pretty rigid commitment and you almost have to be "chained" to your chair. Anyone out there allowed to work ad lib to help out a good company in exchange for a good worker? Don't laugh now, it doesn't hurt to ask. There are days when I could give them 4 or more hours and days when I can't type at all. You never know. No nasty posters, please. If you hear of any such setup, let me know, be it medical or otherwise.
teenagers
I am glad to hear that some people still set boundaries for teens. My son is 13 and I am strict wtih him compared to what I see almost everywhere. So far he hasn't rebelled but it wouldn't surprise me when you see how wild how so many are these days. No bedtime, no curfew, no manners, skipping school, very foul language, destructive of property, oh man, I could go on an on. It has crossed my mind more than once if/when I will handle these situations. So many of the parents don't seem to notice/care. Glad to know some still do. Keep up the good work. We're following in your footsteps.
tell her if she really does have PP depression, coming home won't fix a thing.

The first thing you learn about at home jobs is
When my kids were teenagers,
 they had to do their own wash, along with a few other things. Many days at first, their clothes and wet towels (used once) were on the floor of their room. When there were no clean towels left (I kept 2 for myself), and one morning, no clean shirts that were up to par for my son, he never forgot to do the wash again. Ever. You have to be strong and not give in, even though it's hard. But his wife is sure happy and tells me that she's glad I raised a son who is not afraid to pitch in and help with housework and even knows how to run a washing machine!
Most teenagers are irresponsible
and some are just LUCKY. And they're all having sex. So there.
As I said, doctors want to get teenagers
to try out the new drug, so, whenever they get hands on one, they try to 'push' it on them, as the OP stated.
It seems to me that the doctor started with this issue as the OP did not mention anything about her previous cervical cancer.
And, BTW, there is a heightened risk for certain diseases to be hereditary, but it does not always occur.
At this for 30+ years. I think the thing to remember is yes, it is a business, when I am home to w
working. One thing I do to start off is treadmill every morning 30 minutes, just walk, no vigorous jogging too old, just enough to get those endorphins working and then start with my cup of coffee. I don't answer the phone for anyone unless its my mom. She only call is if something is wrong, otherwise I let the machine pick it up. I will if I have personal calls for myself take time when no work or do that rather than lunch for 40 minutes or so. I do the hour stretch. I also use weights, free weights by my desk I use to lift and stretch out my neck and arm muscles. I also use a ball twice a day to lie on and roll out the shoulders. This enables me to keep at it. No house chores. After I am done I do those. My kids are raised, but this job always enabled me to be here at home for them. I worked nights for a long time too broke up my work time when they were younger. So everything at home is workable with the right approach. Just remember, you are working, just because your home don't take personal calls. I don't think I would have done this for this many years if it was not work the $$. Be creative in your own routine have fun with it and make it work enjoyable. We can go out and have coffee in the sun on the deck in our PJs for our breaks, so remember the flexibility factor there.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! All teenagers need to work for
My mom and dad bought me a $1000 car which I had to make payments back to them to get it paid off. I got a job and did just that!! If you do this, you will learn to appreciate what you have!!! Teenagers have too much handed to them on silver platters these days!!! It is ruining our teens!!
Do you believe parents should GIVE their teenagers a nice new car?
My 17yo claims the parking lot at school is FULL of nice new cars that were given to their drivers. I think she's exaggerating, like teenagers do. She has her grandmother's old car that we have made her either pay for or work off by cleaning her grandmother's house... Value - 500 dollars. I'm a little disappointed in my daughter who seems to be crying the blues here and making me feel like a negligent parent. Heck, I didn't even HAVE a car of my won until I was 19, and I bought it with my dad co-signing and made payments on my own.
Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.
Good one, Home MT....
I had been using www.healthgrades.com but you have to go through a long convoluted trail of clicking through specialties and cities and agreeing to disclaimers.
I like your site. It is straight forward and takes partial names.
Thank You!!! 
Good idea, esp. if in your home...nm

Good ideas - but most want to be at home! sm
I work more being at home, albeit not in 8 straight hours, but I get more work done at home with more lph working in 2-hour shifts throughout the day. Working in the office would not cut it for me. I have been working at home for 16 years now, no way will I go back to an office. So, if you are looking for the seasoned MTs to work in the office with the newbies - good luck with that!
I think you have great ideas and it will work, you just might have to modify a few things along the way.
Best of luck to you!
Good to know. Thanks. I hope he has someone at home sm
who can do that for him. He'll just have to keep growing! Thank goodness no one has thought 20" is too small!
It's a good thing
Finally, the animals win one. Every time some "little darling" mangles a dog or a cat and they get bitten, scratched, it is always the "mean dog's fault". I'm glad you had your camera on for proof. I had two collies that were behind TWO locked fences and one of my neighbors called me up, screaming that my female had bitten her 2 yo toddler. I asked what her 2 yo toddler was doing running around loose outside without supervision and what he was doing on my property in the first place. I told her about the two locked gates and chain link fences, and she said he managed to stick his hand between the posts and the gates and was bitten. She thought I was going to "come apart", but instead I went on the attack. I told her she needed to watch her kids and keep them out of my property and she wouldn't have a problem. Her 2 yo was trespassing on my property and I wanted him kept off of it from now on! She backed down in a big hurry. People make me crazy!
Good thing this is my day off
I meant "way less errors," not "way more errors." LOL
no, would not be a good thing....sm
would end up making you look bad......
move forward - for every door that shuts, another one opens, I promise....*S*
Yes, it is a good thing.
My parent's church helps with it and my parents and other people in the church have brought from them. It is not a scam. It just helps with fod. There is no way you can buy that much food at the store for what Angel Food gives you for $25.00. Are you thinking of signing up?
Good for you! I think this is the right thing to do.
You've got to take care of yourself to keep making your money. If he has a problem with that, he'd be in for a rude awakening if you woke up and decided my hand hurts and I CAN'T work. I'm glad you're doing what you need to for your own pain's sake. My best to you!
Is this a good thing?
QA that is 'easy on you'?
It can be a good thing if.....
you treat it like a business - learn the law, get everything in writing, charge enough rent to cover the hidden costs. I've been landlording for several years now and I highly recommend nolo.com a site with good legal information for non-lawyers, especially a book that outlines the landlord-tenant laws in each state in layperson language - It's been very useful to me, kept me out of trouble at least once.
Or just call a realtor and let them handle it and add their fee to the rental as mentioned above.
Which is why MT can be a good thing for ADD sm
Days when it is hard to focus will take longer to reach quota. Personally, hormonal fluctuations tend to drag me down and make my day go on forever. Being able to stretch my day out longer as long as I get the work done has probably saved me from losing my job at times. Working all day long is not the ideal, but the perseverance is there to get it done anyway and keep my job. When I worked in-house, I was constantly late and had so many warnings because it was hard to stay on task, couldn't work extra hours, etc. So for me, working MT at home, while not a breeze, is the best fit for me and probably many other MTs with ADD.
Does anybody have a GOOD home remedy for fleas...
I have two "sons" (shih tzus), one has long hair and the other has short hair. My short haired baby has fleas that I cannot get rid of. I have tried all kinds of over the counter medicine and I have done everything including cleaning this house top to bottom and bathing him 3 times a week. One would think the long haired one would have them worse, but he doesn't. He enjoys being groomed though and brushed daily whereas my short haired guy thinks the brush is a toy. I used the Zodiac line last year and had absolutely no problems at all but it is just not working this year. Any good ideas would be appreciated!!!!
Another good idea is Home Depot
My friend used to work in the travel industry, which has also gone down the tubes pretty much as a result of technology.
She's a very talented Martha Stewart type of person and always has a yard that's the envy of the neighborhood. She's seriously thinking of applying at Home Depot's home and garden department to give people advice about their yards. She said it pays well and the same with the benefits.
If you're talented in any type of home decorating, home repair, or horticulture I'd say apply at the Home Depot or maybe Lowe's!
Good for you. I love my local at home job.
can't imagine doing good work at home
(no buddy-help) without MT training, and getting good QA scores. There's too bloody-much detail anymore, ie, all the BOS rules, on top of account specifics, terminology, accents, etc... I have seen a couple people pick up the terminology and do well with only on-the-job training in the hospital setting, but that seems rather rare.
The only thing good is Shorthand and you can get

I can't believe you thing those are good reasons.
I cannot believe you think these are valid reasons to do your dog a dis-service like that. Yes, it is your laziness that doesn't want to go have to get up and let him outside. As far as fleas, if you cannot afford to care for a dog properly, you shouldn't have one. The cheapest part about owning a pet, is the initial cost. Your expensive flea med excuse is like saying, "Gee, I am short on cash. Get the dog doesn't get to eat this week." There are expenses that go with owning a pet and that should be considered before you bring one into your home. And the digging,,, just don't leave him out for hours at a time and the digging won't be an issue. THis poor dog. I unfortuneatly can see this dog's future. Either he will end up put down like the other poster's dog or he will be placed with strangers. If he is lucky, it will be with a responsible dog ower. If he is unlucky, it will be with some one who won't take the time and he will either end up outside all the time or be passed to yet another stranger. Poor pooch.
Good post but one thing.....sm
you said you'd wait until you become financially secure before getting married so you could then could leave him and be okay $$-wise.
I left after 13 years of marriage and we pretty much had nothing....my sanity being numero uno. The stats are this....that after 5 years of divorce, women are in better shape than men financially and emotionally. That's what I've read and that's how it also happened for me. I was in better shape than him 5 years later. So, don't undercut yourself. We can make it on our own whether we have a man in our life or not!!!! It's an old wives tale from post WWII I do believe that women are not *complete* without a man and that is a total crock of s**t.....in my mind/heart/soul.
Good thing we all get to have an opinion!

I guess if there's one good thing...
the police got to the school so quickly that he was unable to carry out the *rest of his plan* thank God...those poor children suffered enough, thankfully he didn't have the chance to inflict any more harm on them...if you know what I'm talking about...I can't write it...it makes me sick to my stomach!
What is this world coming to when parents feel afraid to send their children to SCHOOL? We don't even let our 7 YO son play outside for 1 second alone, and we live in a quiet subdivision, and know all our neighbors...guess that's just it though, we THINK we KNOW them...anyway, it just breaks my heart and scares me to death...WE NEED TO BRING GOD BACK INTO THE SCHOOLS...we've *kicked* Him out...time to bring Him back...
Change is a good thing.
You’re signature gives you away—typingfool.
Some people need change. Change is good. It’s good for the soul, good for the spirit, and not to mention one’s well being. Some people need to grow and if boredom persists, this is a sign that it’s time to pursue new fields. If everyone held your poor outlook on life, there would be no dreams met, no business owners, no success stories, no hope and furthermore, very unfulfilled listless lives.
We can all compare ourselves to those who are in war, struggling in life, in humdrum jobs but this is no reason to not attempt to fulfill one’s own potential, no matter what that may be. It’s just a matter of decision, as scary as it may be, to try something different. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I am so thankful that I was not born to you, with your attitude—so stifling!
It is a very good thing for lots of the MTS
to not have lived, say in the 50s on through the early 90s because they would have been out of luck with jobs and the ability to stay home. Those 2 just did not go together. I remember the last job where I worked in house fulltime (92) they told you not to have family/friends on the hospital property to visit- not allowed on the work place at all. I love working from home but I think the choice of this job should not be #1 you want to stay at home because then like I have said before the profession comes off as nonprofessional. I do not care how MTs look but others apparently do as they post these concerns all the time- iether neighbors and/or family thinking they do not really have a job, even a post on a board stating her husband telling her all she did was sit on her a___ all day long, not being taken seriously. I think a lot of MTers hurt their own self when they post their reason for doing this was just to work from home. Just what I read on these boards.
Wow... sounds like it might be a good thing ! -sm
It also makes me wonder about talking to MY vet. She's at a large clinic near my home. As vets see more and more patients, and the procedures become more complicated, maybe that's a new job possibility for some of us. If you take the job, I hope you'll keep us posted on what it's like, etc. Good luck!
Need a good recipe for home brew flea dip
I have a shih-tsu and 120 pound lab/blue tick hound. Needless to say, Savannah would cost me an arm and a leg with conventional dips. If anyone knows of a good home brew I would surely appreciate it.
What is a good inexpensive small home printer.

Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Thanks. It's a local rad company, so it'd probably be a good thing.
IF I can even do it.
Good thing they're so cute or we'd really get mad at them!
Sometimes cuteness is a life-sustaining mechanism, especially for my 6 previous little fur-ballz.
You poor thing. Good luck to you.
I've been there but had to work outside the home. I had a slug of an ex who paid child support when "he had the money." I learned how to shop and ate whatever the kids left over in their dinner bowls. To this day I will not touch a Spaghetti-O. :)
First and most important is be a parent to your kids. Have fun with them, but set limits with them and be a mom and not a friend. That's what they need. And NEVER, EVER, say a bad word about their father, no matter what, even if he bad mouths you. My kids figured out what a slug their dad was on their own. They are both adults with kids of their own and I still refuse to bad mouth their father after nearly 20 years.
Thank you. There is such a thing as good business sense
and doing what is right. Those who have messed with people need to think about that and those businesses know who they are.
white bread - not a good thing to eat but...nm
IC good thing is no more office politics.....nm
Good thing I proof read LOL
I was just proofreading my reports before I send it and instead of typing that the lady hit her head on a window, I typed she hit her head on a widow. Ha Ha. I thought to myself - hope they weren't on the way to the funeral. Okay, having way too much fun here.
Good thing you didn't have to test sm
and it's especially a good thing if they had waved/waived as a question on the test.
