and contact the Dept of Labor.  If they were stupid enough to put their broken promises in writing, you have every right to start a lawsuit.  We all have complaints about different companies, but what they've done is downright illegal !!!

That's what cracks me up

and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. 

A lot of my weight problem is medical, but I think more so is my emotional state.  I have a very emotionally abusive husband.  He rides me all the time about my weight.  When I was thinner (wearing a size 7 - - now wearing a size 28), he would badger me then about my weight.  It got to where I was sneaking food and of course what happened?  Now it is even worse.  I try, I really do.  I am definitely an emotional eater though. 

My husband rode me and rode me and TOLD ME to get the bypass surgery.  I had everything set up (this was about 5 years ago) with the surgeon who brought bypass to the United States.  I felt totally comfortable with him, and to top it off he is my regular physician!  Then my husband totally freaked and said that with MY LUCK, something would go wrong and he would be stuck with an invalid for a wife, and DEMANDED  that I not do it.  So, here I am - - a total of 160 pounds overweight -- and need to lose 70 of it by the end of February to have insurance.  I get so depressed sometimes that I do not even want to get out of bed.

I am going to look into Alli and the liquid diet mentioned.  I really appreciate your help and suggestions. 

I definitely think I need a support group, but I don't know who that would be.   

Anyway, I am going to look into these things.  I think I will try the liquid diet and see how it works. 

AGAIN, THANK YOU!

I really am starting to feel better about it now.  My biggest fear was that my company wouldn't wait for me to get better.  I don't mind doing the hard work, putting in more time, researching blanks, listening over and over and over, as long as they don't mind getting many blanks for a while ;)

I guess only time will tell. Thank you for the encouragement!

but I seem to operate about 90% on 'muscle memory' , which is why changing accounts is such a problem for me. 

I learned to type in high school which was a loooong time ago.  So after 40+ years of period-space-space I'm supposed quit it because some dilbert decides so?  If this becomes a QA issue, it might be the hill I choose to die on. 

for the feedback and encouragement.  Cranky, I started off on a typewriter too, many moons ago :-)!  I will keep plugging away at it. 

By the way Cranky, what in the world is in the picture.  I have looked and looked at it and I cannot figure out what is in your picture - lol!

Favorite small appliance.  I have 2 jobs now, love my crock pot but am looking for something a little more versitile... Something I can  throw everything  into in the morning and just set it and forget it! Any suggestions? Thanks!

Our jobs that are limited as it is?  So when we all lose our jobs to people in India, China, etc., can we assume you personally are going to share the money from what used to be our jobs with us so we can keep our homes and feed our families?  I think not.  Transcribe for your own damn doctors and leave the American patients to us.

Our Rottie had puppies Saturday morning!!!!!  11 in all,  6 girls and 5 boys.   We lost a baby girl yesterday morning, but the rest are doing great.  We're exhausted, but they're fine.  They're sooooo cute.....

"She wil be put in an Aircast splint and with crutches and treated with Motrin 800 every 8 hours as needed for pain with food."

Like, I applied for coding and ended up being recruited as an MT (and they never DID fill the coding position as that department was undergoing "internal issues").

Although it is a major slam when you apply for clerical work you get pushed towards being part of the janitorial staff!  Do you have very little MT experience?  I could understand if they offered you something in medical records, but wow, that's quite a leap to think you'd want to wash dishes!

a local college has a job posted for an ESL instructor. Any takers?

Very small neighborhood.  Houses are very close together.  We've lived here almost 7 years and we all know each other and chat and the neighbors help each other out, no matter what. 

These people just scare me because everything is drawn up tight and the "skinny" woman of the house seems very nervous.  I've only seen her "husband" once and he looks as if he may be the thing that makes her afraid.

I have gotten to the point, however, where I will make some phone calls.  The poor dog finally stopped barking, but my daughter went out back with her friends to swim in the pool (behind an 8 foot stockade fence) and all you can hear is "yap, yap, yap."

Geeeeeesh.

To work a split shift, example 6-10 n then 3-7, OR would it be less painful to get it all done at once so you have more time to rest fully?  My hands kill me constantly.  I've tried everything.  Don't want to be in more pain if the split would end up being worse.  Thanks.
