Good for you!. That lady must be happy at Wal-Mart (sm)
Hmmmm...I have thought the same thing, transcription hasn't been that great lately. What a relief it would be to just put the computer in the closet.
Happy for you that you found the good stuff...sm
Happy that you found a better man than the first husband. I, too, was married to a controlling (though he didn't get far with me in that regard because I cannot be *controlled* and since I'm a teenager) french frog whom I divorced 15+ years ago for my SANITY. My sanity became an issue and I became my own Hero........and have been V_E_R_Y happy DAILY without him. *L*
I will never marry again....fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me. I believe marriage is NOT normal...but hey, that's just me.....I believe marriage is an institution and I do not need to be institutionalized. 
It's great you've got a good system; I'm happy for you! nm

That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

Orthodox Easter
What a great celebration we have! Our Easter falls after Western Easter (different calendar). We take our food to church in a basket and have it blessed, then share and enjoy to break the fast. The basket contains things that have meaning, i.e. a candle (Christ is the light of the world), eggs (new life), salt (salt of the earth), special bread (breaking bread), kolbassi or ham or both (breaking the fast having not eaten meat for 40 days), cheese (also breaking the fast of dairy product), honey (the sweetness of Christ is Risen), red beats with horseradish (the bitterness of crucifixion), and various other items depending on what part of Eastern Europe you came from. It is an incredible celebration.
Easter recipes sm
It is very difficult for me because my children married different faiths and it used to be that we (before they married) would go to church and then to a restaurant (our favorite) as a special treat for family style soup, salad and main course. Of course, the "new" family had to kill this plan since the other side did not like our Church. Too bad. I started to cook brunch after service which included: Coffee or tea, lots of different juices, bacon, ham (spiral), fried potatoes (home fries), waffles (finally woke up to buying prepared and frozen), lots of syrup, butter, fresh strawberries and blueberries, some favorites of the grandchildren (one liked cantaloupe, another's favorite was my homemade sugar cookies, another liked my peanut butter cookies). I cook for days but it's worth it. Know how I got rewarded? The "other" moms got so jealous, they started to offer "brunch" instead of the traditional dinner (ham and all the trimmings, sit-down style).. I was frustrated at this, but I still try. Why don't people realize that "life is temporary" - whatever works for you. Since someone "stole" my brunch idea, I offer nice foods still, at whatever time their schedule (allows) them to show up; not necessarily breakfast, but some rented "childrens movies" with no pressure. As long as we build it, they will come. However, my brunch was sooooo popular, I'm glad someone "stole" it from me. It's kind of like having MT account "stolen" from you, it's not the same quality, but you have to realize that copying you is a true compliment and you should enjoy it. BTW (by the way) I have a bit of Polish in me, so I thoroughly enjoyed the kielbasa aspect of Easter, I slice it up and cook it first in a little water to get rid of the grease. Then I recook it using currant jelly and slice it, put wooden toothpicks in there and let them munch. Easter should be fun, no matter what religion you are in or out of, "He" would just like you to have fun on His special day, or more especially a family day, never mind what you believe in or choose not to believe in. It's a fun day!!!
Easter dinner
Honey glazed ham, sweet potato soufle, corn, butterbeans, deviled eggs, sweet potato biscuits. Honeybun cake for desert. Yummy~
Passover and/or Easter....*S*....sm
Whichever you celebrate, just want to wish everyone a happy Spring holiday season!! Passover commences Wednesday 4/12 evening, and Easter Sunday is this upcoming Sunday!! Enjoy!!!
Easter Dinner
Hi there...We usually make a smoked ham for dinner with potatoes, carrots and angel biscuits but this year my kids want an Italian Easter. So I guess I'm going to be making lasagna and a side salad with garlic bread. We also make my grandmother's homemade Italian sesame seed cookies, coosidadas and amaretti cookies. Have a great Easter and happy eating!
Hoppy Easter!
Here's hoping a very happy Easter comes hopping your way!
Hmm, so is Easter anti-biblical?
The word "Easter" itself appears nowhere in the bible because its roots have nothing to do with Christianity:
Easter is a time of springtime festivals. In Christian countries Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. But the celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that are pagan in origin and have nothing to do with Christianity. Scholars, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe the name Easter is thought to come from the Scandinavian "Ostra" and the Teutonic "Ostern" or "Eastre," both Goddesses of mythology signifying spring and fertility whose festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox. Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. The Christian celebration of Easter embodies a number of converging traditions with emphasis on the relation of Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, from which is derived Pasch, another name used by Europeans for Easter. Passover is an important feast in the Jewish calendar which is celebrated for 8 days and commemorates the flight and freedom of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin, were brought up in the Hebrew tradition and regarded Easter as a new feature of the Passover festival, a commemoration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets. (For more information please visit our Passover celebration - Passover on the Net). Easter is observed by the churches of the West on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the spring equinox (March 2I). So Easter became a "movable" feast which can occur as early as March 22 or as late as April 25. Christian churches in the East which were closer to the birthplace of the new religion and in which old traditions were strong, observe Easter according to the date of the Passover festival.
What is your idea of Easter dinner?

Easter Dinner What are you making?
For those preparing an Easter dinner, what are you making this year?
My son's birthday is on Easter this year
he will be 8. On Saturday we are going to have his birthday bash at the bowling alley...he is very excited!! On Easter we will be going to my parents house. They just moved into a brand new, three story home. They sold about 13 acres of land in the city limits of Greensboro, NC. That is a hard thing to come by. The developer will be developing 302 townhomes on the property. It will be very strange to see that when it happens. My grandmother lives with my parents 6 months out of the year. The other 6 she lives in Florida. She's home right now because of the move, so she will be making Easter dinner. I don't know what she will make, but I'm sure there will be ham. Her cooking is so good that it doesn't really matter what she makes though!! Since it's my son's birthday, (and my birthday is two days later), it will also be another birthday celebration...so there will be homemade birthday cake! Can't wait!!
So none of you holy rollers are eating on Easter

Has anyones account seemed a little slow since Easter?
Just does not seem quite as busy?
Best Wishes
I wish you and your son all the best in the world and I am sure you will make the right choice and giving your son the right to make choices for himself is the right thing. To many parents today live through their children and not for their children.
My son wanted to do this and I agreed to it. Even though it is very time consuming, but at the same time it is full of rewards.
God Bless and Best of Luck
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!
:)
Best wishes to you, too! (nm)

I feel like I should point out that (in the fairness of all) the God messages should be on the relgious board, it is a little presumptious to think we all believe in God.
That said, best of luck.
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!
What about where you are?!
Thanks for the feedback and well wishes
I am preapproved for a loan but the payments scare me. I've never owned a home on my own before. I'm also cashing in my small 401k to use for it. I'm young yet, under 35, and know that that is not the smartest of ideas, but my NOT-darling, boyfriend, father of my youngest (2) (have 3 total) is prone to violent behavior. I've put up with his rantings for 3 years, NOT anymore. If I can just get through the next couple weeks .......the house is empty.....so hoping if things go okay, I can move in, maybe before closing. PRAY for me!
No problem! Best wishes!!
:-)
Can you believe it? Time sure does fly! Thank you all for the well wishes!
We're not planning to go anywhere anytime soon!
Best wishes to you on that plan, but
I have to admit that I was (and still am) an RN first. With all of its difficulties, I have to admit that I would prefer to be an MT than return to that extremely stressful situation of RN bedside nurse. The one good thing that I can say with regards to nursing is that the pay seems to be really good, though, and it does not seem difficult for a new grad to find a good niche in which to begin working. One piece of advice that I give is to work towards a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and possibly move on towards a Masters degree or even a PHD, before you are 50. Find a job that you can continue to do until older age, when your body may no longer be up to the physical stress required for direct patient care (especially when it includes lifting, turning the patient, etc.) Get into a specialty where you can use your brain more than your muscles. If you are not already doing so, get into an exercise program and take good care of your musculoskeletal system. If I were not almost geriatric, I would take my own advice. My big mistake was starting out with an Associate Degree and not continuing my nursing education. Believe it or not, I cannot even get a job in a doctor's office, as they prefer LPNs. I even called my state board of nursing and asked if I could get an LPN license by just being an RN and taking the LPN exam. They told me that I would have to complete an LPN training program first, which I am not inclined to do. I know it was a strange question to ask them, but I had to ask...Best to you..
Like it or not, she is a legal adult and can do what she wishes.
You can tell her your opinions, but you really have no control over this. Just as you wouldn't want someone forcing you to have an abortion because they believe it's right, she likely doesn't want you trying to force her to keep it because it's what you think is right.
All you can do is be there for her if/when she needs you. Yeah, it may stink that her beliefs are not the same as yours, but there's nothing you can do about.
Awesome!!! Congrats & best wishes! (nm)

Consider it done! Jenny is blessed to have a friend like you. Best wishes to all. nm

Can anyone tell me the best company to work for if one wishes to do only do op notes...sm
I have 30 years experience in MT work and for the last few years have been able to do exclusively operative notes which is what I love. I have been very happy with current company but have to start my work day early in the a.m. and now my account has been overstaffed to the point there is no work in the morning. While there is plenty of work late in the day, there is nothing in the morning and so I feel I must look for another company for at least part time op work initially and if it works out I could go full time. I have left my email address so please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
How is your daughter doing now? My thoughts and best wishes go out to you and your family - sm
I have a 5yo daughter and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Hope everything is better now.
Thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers. It is much appreciated.
You are all great!
Cool staff. Thanks for the warm wishes.
Hope everybody here had a good Mother's Day.
Prayers and well wishes are just as important as financial help...
sorry you don't see it that way...
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm
