Have any of you heard of this? It is auto insurance charged by the miles driven. I got a quote online for myself and it is very reasonable for me but not for the 17-yo.

Texas drivers
I live in TX and have never heard of this. Have ins through AAA, just renewed last month in fact. No mention of this. Where did you get your quote?
16 year old drivers
In our state you have to be 16-1/2 to get your license and for the first six months you cannot have anyone under 18 in your vehicle unless there is a 21 year old driver or older sitting in the front passenger seat and you also cannot drive from midnight until 5:00 a.m., as they believe 16-1/2 year old kids get in many crashes. I think this is a good law, especially with all the kids racing around, talking on the phone etc, but adults do this also. I think when they are younger they tender to lose their concentration on the road (not all but some), talking with friends, etc, so this law makes sense to me. My sons were older when they first got their license and I am glad. They both went through driver's education, but even that has changed and they want the parents to take their children out on the road more and more each year, which is a good thing if you can handle that. I could, so it was okay with me. Every one knows their child's maturity and being on the road is a scarey thing for all parents.
Gee, don't know :o(. Have you installed all drivers?
I don't have an Ativa. I wish I could help!
You're welcome. Most sites will have the drivers
available for download, whether it is a printer or digital camera. Sometimes it takes a bit of looking to find it though.
I won't let my kids ride with inexperienced drivers.
On the other hand, my sister just let her daughter drive a 300 mile round trip with friends and no parental supervision. My niece has had her license for less than 4 months and is only 15 years old. The parent is trying to be the "friend" instead of enforcing rules.
FWIW, the only car accident I was involved in was with a girl who only had her license for three days. She didn't use turn signals or her brakes, just geared down and decided to stop on a 55 mph two-lane right in front of me with oncoming traffic.
Where I live, lots of nonlicensed drivers
in this state, heard 1 out of 10 this morning and if and until I hear a big part are actually legal and licensed, am not worrying this "pretty head" as my mother used to put it. I am really not as worried about his as I would be with this type of work UNLESS I were a lot younger and having to have a really good income. I have my time in, he is younger and still has his time to work but not worried about his job. It is one of the bigger companies on our roads and I think if legal and GOOD driving record, anyone else could hire on. Our jobs are the ones that we know are going elsewhere....
Well it said there are no drivers or anything else and I have no idea about loading a driver.
It works fine in DQS so I dont know about this. I guess I will just forget the job because it is a very long test and to do it with key controls is horrible.
I just checked on HP website, and it says all drivers/software is up-to-date.

I'm in GSO too, about 1 mile from PG. nm
I have about a 20 mile drive
There are a couple grocery stores in that vicinity. I won't shop at Target, either, as they will not support the military and will not allow the Salvation Army outside their stores at Christmas. They are a big supporter of gay and lesbian causes as well. So far, I guess it is K-Mart for other things. Around here, Wal-Mart is trying to build a super center practically on every street corner, trying to run everybody else out of business. Really sad-- Sam Walton is probably spinning in his grave.
I'd pay $10 an hour plus 0.35 a mile. GL. NM

60-mile drive
I used to drive 50 miles one way for my transcription job. It took me four years before I got to go home, and then I still had to drive back and forth to pick up the tapes, until they got me on the system last March - so now I totally work from home. So nice, but you are the only one that can determine whether it is worth it for you. I need/want the bennies and was willing to do it. With a sickly husband at home, it is so nice now to be at home working. Don't know if I would go back to working outside again.
Hi Amanda from WV (I once lived in Morgantown!). No drivers to download, has a USB optical device.
:)
35 cents a mile???? UR kidding???...nm
Gov. pays 44.5 cents a mile, will probably....sm
go up to 48.5 cents over the summer. That's what we claim on travel vouchers.
I used to drive a 100+ mile roundtrip....SM
I did it for over two years to be able to work in the office of my mentor and get the experience I needed to be a good MT. Most days I didn't mind, but did try to avoid busy times on the freeway. A lot depends on traffic too and not just gas. I have always enjoyed the time alone in a car, which is something I rarely get.
Thirty miles isn't that far. Good luck!
I think there's a difference between going the extra mile
and not going at all. I used to spend lots of time, probably way too much time, looking up words in the pre-production days, but those days are over, and those kinds of questionable words get left as blanks. That's not the same thing as not trying at all.
Hubby has 30 mile drive to work (sm)
so he bought a motorcycle and rides that instead of driving his truck.
My DH lived 1/4 mile from my childhood home,
can't you tell I'm a country kid. I thought he was a geek when he was younger (he knows this), he was a looker in high school but had a steady girlfriend and was subsequently engaged, then she left him and he went in the service. Once he came home I was totally surprised at what a great man he'd become, a hottie and a really nice guy too! Her loss was my gain and the rest is history as that was 26 years ago and he's still the love of my life!
My DD has to ask me for money, still lives with me. I moved less than a mile SM
from her college (since I work at home) for her sake, the things we do for our kids.
K-force, yes they still do. They offered me 11 cpl and 40 c/mile in San Bernardino, CA. nm

Would you make a 60 mile round trip every day
I have been driving back and fourth to a hospital for over a year. It is 30 miles away. I have to put two small children in daycare close to my home because it is more affordable then the ones close to where I work. This is another issue. If I have to take them to the doctor or if they have anything going on at the daycare that I can attend well, I have to take a full day off. The pay at this hospital is only 9 cpl so the pay is not what is really keeping me it is the bennies. $65/month covers my kids and I. It is excellent coverage too. We also have a 401k plan where they match. We also have flex spending, PTO which is about used up because we keep running out of work. We are only allowed to get sick 5 times a year, that includes family too if we have to take off. I have asked to work at home because they have home MTs. I used to be one of them but they moved me in house they did not like my slow internet connection. Now that we have cable internet available I asked if can go back home and they seem to give me the run around like it is either "not in their budget" or “maybe in a month or two” but that never comes. These outsourcing companies keep dancing around. I just really want to be back home closer to my kids and so I can eat lunch with my husband again. I do know that any job I get there will be pitfalls. I am just afraid of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
I wore mine on a 900 mile drive
to florida. Didn't leak a bit.
I begin my day, every day, with a nice 2 to 3 mile walk with
This gives me time to think, alone time, fresh air and of course exercise. I love to walk and it seems that since I began doing this I am less stressed out. Have you had your thyroid checked??? Just wondering if that could possibly cause hair loss. I wish you the best.
I bet other insurance carriers have insurance for their employees. Why not Wal-Mart? nm
:+
It was a $1 a mile, not hour! Made good noney back then. nm

Ok, I invite you to hop on a bicycle for 15 mile ride in below freezing weather, snow, ice, etc.

Check your USB drivers. The printer works off the printer driver. The pedal needs a joystick
driver in order to work. You have to configure your USB port for this.

I think she is thinking of the one in Austin, I believe. Don't remember when it was, but I do remember someone shooting at the students on campus, was it University of Texas?
Don't come to Texas either - UGH
Texas A&M
West Texas A&M but currently on scholarship to study in Japan for a year.
Texas weather
We haven't hit 100 yet, but i'm sure it is in the near future. Thank God I'm not in arizona!
TEXAS school
Does anybody know of a good MT school in Dallax, TX
Texas School
Stay away from the "trade" schools and business colleges - nothing but a waste of your or the governments money - I know, I worked for one. Try to find a community or junior college with an accredited program. The noncredit courses are also mostly a waste of your time and money - unless you already have some experience and are just wanting to brush up. Hope this helps.
TransTech in Texas does them. nm

lived in Texas too
I posted to you about where to look. We also lived in Dallas and they are overpriced too. You don't pay a state income tax in Florida, but there are a lot of hidden sales taxes and such. The problem with living on the water is you can't get insurance and if you find it, it's extremely high. We left Florida and went to Biloxi, Mississippi and it was about half the cost of Florida and we were 1 block from the beach. We had planned to go back but it will take a few years to be rebuilt. In the meantime, heading to TN as they do not have a state income tax, a vehicle tax, and the property taxes are much much less.
Was this company in Texas?

Pecos, Texas
is where I was born...a hot dry dusty place. Lived around Ft.Worth area growing up, then got married and raised a family around Cleburne, TX....I currently live in Arkansas, where it is beautiful and the people are more friendly. I have 20 acres in the woods, so could not be in a better place for me. I have my two dogs, three cats and together we are a pack, with me as the leader of course, ha ha. Kids have grown and left home, are both in their 20's. Gotta get back to work. Living out here is the perfect place to work from home, but I cannot just work all day in a nightgown, have to get dressed except for shoes (like to use footpedal barefooted) to get in a mindset of "going to work".
Hope this is not a doc in Texas. sm
I had a podiatry doc that did this and it was not worth doing as he only wanted to pay 3.50 per page but the margins were 0.25 on each side, 9 size font, and 0.25 top and bottom margin. Awful, awful, awful!
Is this OUR GEORGE E FROM TEXAS???? nm

Nope--I'm in Texas

Live in Texas....
I'm on balanced billing since I like to know exactly what my bill will be every month. It is $238/month year round. We have a family of 4 and keep the house at 75 all the time with all the fans running as well. My DH would like to keep it cooler, but that is cool enough for me!
MOVING TO TEXAS
Stay away from the D/FW area and Houston - too much traffic and illegals. Drugs, gangs, etc. Try to find a small town or country setting. It is HOT and the concrete of the cities just increases that heat. Also the pollution in these areas is bad so if you have any type of lung or breathing problems - stay away. However, if you do not mind sitting in traffic for an hour to get to a job 10 miles away - then you should move to a big city. If you are planning to work from home, remember that internet is not available everywhere in Texas. Personally, I wouldn't move to Texas - I would choose SC or FL - much better options.

Is it the Texas heat?
I think we may have worked for the same lady! She never had the AC on in her office except for a unit in the room with the phone equipment to keep it cool, so my husband used to say that it must be the heat frying her brain cells. If it isn't the same lady, it's a real clone. I don't work for her anymore, either!
Actually, in Texas the employer must have
if they do have such policy, they must follow it.
I checked. :)
Texas Coast
just had the CBS affiliate on here in Miami and they are saying Ike is now a Cat 1, but expected to strengthen to a Cat 3 with landfall either in TX or Mexico by Saturday morning.
I had the same problem with a Texas Co. Email me
I'm just wondering who the company is and if it is the same one I worked for. I eventually got paid but they used the old "check got lost in the mail" routine.
sleet and snow in texas!
what a nice change. We went from 88 to 20 degrees, it's awesome!
fort worth, texas
Still here too!
