Okay home is where the heart is but if you live in trailer park next door to red neck grits
with a mullet and bleached blond hair who drink beer all day and let their kids run wild, your little trailer park heart filled home becomes a bit of a headache because of the neighbors who may not have the same ideals or morals/ethics you do and they are SO CLOSE you can't shut them out of your world. Cheap housing brings in cheap people and in trailer parks you pretty much get what you get neighbor-wise. So my heart may be in my little trailer but my neighbors are part of my homelife.
I hear such mixed thoughts regarding getting accounts by going door-to-door soliciting yourself.
Is it worth it. Are there many people out there that have landed new accounts this way? Most MTSOs that have been in business for a long time say it is by word of mouth, but what about MTs like me who have been doing this five years. I feel I'm ready for my own accounts and am not sure if this is the best route.
Any opinions?
Betty Crocker
Yes, the creams are the same, however, if you have seen the Betty Crocker Chicken Marsala dinner (in the pasta aisle), give it a shot. It has the wine and everything you need in the box minus the chicken. I'm not one for prepacked dinners, and this one has a few steps, but wow is it delicious!
scalloped potatoes-Betty Crocker cookbook
The Betty Crocker Cookbook I have has a good recipe, comes out exactly like my mother's of year's ago. I thought I would never smell that smell again! Have to follow the recipe almost exactly, and let cook long enough, yummy.
Barney seems okay
I agree with you. I think MQx4 is making it difficult for some of us to post in fears that we might be "attacked" for no reason.
I saw nothing wrong with Barney's posts.
Because Barney is MQ Whiner from below
You will see her venom and hatred. Innocent people do not have to fear being attacked here - she is the one who started attacking all MQ MTs this morning.
Nice try Barney aka Zipper

Buh-bye Barney/Chucky/Frankie Boy/Zipper

HIPPA is a joke - who here really believes there is ANY SUCH THING as privacy these days in the good old US OF A?
Come on! You're being watched 24/7 - they probably know how many cavities you have for pity's sake...
Another huge beaurocracy just to give the ILLUSION we still have a scintilla of privacy left.
OMG - that's hysterical! - nm
:D
That is hysterical!....sm
Ain't it great we're wordsmiths with vivid imaginations!!! You turn a phrase very well. Mind if I share it with some other friends?  Cat
lighten up, I think it's hysterical
It's the family / abdomen part that I'm really cracking up over.
I think it is hysterical how things have changed since I - sm
graduated HS in 1983. My parents did not send annoucements (for me or my 2 older brothers), nor did we get super extravagent gifts, I got a suede jacket I wanted (about $80), my brother's I can't remember, I think my one brother got a new car stereo because the one he had had been stolen. On the night of graduation, my parents took me and my best friend (who was living with us at the time), and her parents (have moved a month before graduation) out for ice cream at an ice cream parlour at the mall. That was all we did to "celebrate" as a family. I received no $ from anyone nor did I even think to solicit it. It is just amazing how everything these days has to have a reward, graduation Kindergarten, graduating middle school, graduation high school, college, etc. It never ends. I did not even attend my college gradation, I felt no need to force my family to sit for hours while the went throught the hundreds of graduates to watch me get my diploma. I had it mailed to me. For college I did get a used car (before I graduated) but only because I was working 3 jobs, had wreaked by bicycle and my dad's car he was letting me borrow (the brakes failed so it was not my fault in terms of being reckless or stupid). Plus all my money which amounted to $200 a month went to art supplies and feeding myself. I went hungry now and then too and had to borrow from the University on short term loans so I could eat. My parents had the money to give me but I wanted to take care of myself. They paid my tuition and my rent (about $5K a year altogether). I just think the attitude today is horrible. Kids expect everything handed to them, a car at 16, money to get gas, buy clothes, go out with friends, all handed to them, mucho money on graduation HS, etc. All we are doing is raising a bunch of lazy kids who will think the world revolves around them, and when (if) they actually get a good eduation and go out into the real world, they will be in for one heck of a shock unless mom & dad continue to substidize them, etc. then of course the kids will expect you to live frugally so when you die you leave them $500K or a million so they don't have to worry about anything (or to blow it). Sorry for the rant, but graduation annoucements, etc. just really rub me the wrong way. Since you don't even know the person who graduated, (and even if you knew them well) I'd just send a nice card and say congrats, have good luck at college and work hard. If you do send $ don't expect to be thanked, that is another social grace lacking today. I'm only 40 but boy it's amazing how manners and good taste have slipped through the cracks in only 20 or so years.
That is hysterical. When I say flames I mean "no mean posts to me." It's just a saying. nm

I thought it was hysterical that she slept with her head by his feet! sm
In my house sleeping w/ your head anywhere near my husbands feet is a fear factor stunt all on its own!!!
OMGosh, The "I Shot the Sheriff" guy was hysterical! (no message)
You still looked??
Absolutely Hysterical!! We did not stop laughing. My side hurts. nm

You are hysterical Purple!! Made me laugh at this late hour!
Thanks, chick!
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
how do you even get through the door with --sm
that big head of yours?! keep up your attitude and one of these days someone is going to adjust it for you. then we will be LOL
door--sm
I do woodburning as a hobby and when I bought my woodburning tool, it came with a *hot knife* attachment, which is a small blade that screws into the woodburning tool and heats up. It cut through this fairly thick plastic quite well. It took about a half an hour, which was less than having tried to cut it with a utility scissors or knife. worked for me! :^)
What's behind door #3?
I'm in it because I have an interest in the medical field, but I'm too squeamish to do the hands-on stuff! :-P I won't get rich doing MT, but so far it's paying the bills.
AT&T is going door to door here trying to get
for cable, internet and phone. They knocked on my door and told me how much less it would be per month if I went with them. No way. I don't trust AT&T back from the days when they were a monopoloy and I had no choice but to use them for my long distance. I swore if I ever had a choice I would NEVER use them again. Time Warner may be more expensive than AT&T, but I'd rather pay more for Time Warner than give AT&T any of my business. And I don't trust them not to jack up the prices. I've been a happy Time Warner customer for many years now and unless they jack their prices up drastically, I'm staying with them. My internet is NEVER out more than just a brief period, and that rarely happens. The phone service is cheaper than AT&T and the cable is fine (DH uses the TV part more than I do).
And one more I told the LDS at my door (sm)
I do have a question! At the end of the earth when God meets us in the sky, how do you think we will get there, in spaceships?
(They haven't been to my door in a long, long time.)
Best Buy does it too- was 2 feet from the door, guy saw me pay, still had - sm
to show my receipt, which I had already put away in my wallet. Pain in the butt!
THE SIGN ON MY DOOR
WE ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE DOOR TO UNSCHEDULED CALLERS. PLEASE PHONE AHEAD. No soliciting. No trespassing.
I may peep out the window to see who is out there, but they cannot see me and I will not answer it. Later on you can always tell them you were in the shower, bathroom, phone conference, etc. and did not hear the door or could not leave your meeting.
Ask yourself -- would people let you walk into their office building and interrupt them on their job if they were at their desk on the phone with the boss or a client? NOT.
Just curious - how did you cut the door out? nm
x
Could one more person slam a door?
Could one more person talk in the hall right outside my office?
Could you turn your music up a little higher?
Could you come in and interrupt me one more time?
Doggie, could you whine a little louder? (has to stay in my office -- long story).
Could ONE more doctor dictate from a speaker phone?
Sheesh... now I know why I work the red eye!!
Anything that "The Girls Next Door" say
Sure, go for 12 cpl IF you want to get laughed out the office door!

My next door neighbor cleans ....sm
every other week and charges $70 to do my entire 1800 foot house. She does a great job, too - and is trustworthy. Before that I wouldn't trust anyone because of the stories of services/people not cleaning or stealing from you.
Sometimes I need a *Do Not Disturb* on my office door
I can't break myself from being always available to my kids, and I guess I shouldn't complain because they're 25 and 18 and both still love to stop in my office door and stand there and talk anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour in the afternoon, but it really makes me so unproductive in the afternoon. This is especially rough when I know I'm behind and need to be pounding the keys, but HEY, I know the day is coming when they don't stand here and talk to me, so I try my hardest to listen when they want to talk. It's really tough though. Anyone else have trouble with this? When the talk dwindles I do tell them I need to get back to work and they're generally good about letting me, but I can't stop them when they feel the need to be here talking to me. Guess I wish I had 2 sets of ears so I could work while I listen to them too.
Gevalia - its the best and delivered to my door
monthly by the UPS guy! Amaretto is the best and regular is #2. Great coffee and prices are better than buying premium in the supermarket. Keeps me going...
It can be hard to get a foot in the door
but when I was starting out even though I didn't have the experience I would ask them to at least let me test for them, and once I did I was almost always hired. I have never worked as an IC, though- I have only worked in clinics and now 2 hospitals.
The hospital I work at now has a mentoring program where they will hire students just out of school and let them learn on the job, starting out as MT I's. Of course, they have to demonstrate some ability, but that is the way it should be. It seems to me if you are good you should be able to find work, especially with the all the complaints these days that there are not enough good MTs out there.
Something PORTABLE... while I'm running out the door! - nm

Over the door lock boxes
I pick up work from a local family practice and our schedules conflict a lot of times. It is hard to be there exactly when the doctor finishes his dictation and they forget to give me a 30-minute warning since I am about 30 minutes away. Sometimes I have to make a trip every day to fit his schedule. Does anyone know where I can buy an over the door lock box (like what Lab Corp uses to leave blood work, etc.)? I would love for him to leave the transcription tapes, etc., in the box and I pick up and drop off on my schedule so I can get to the work faster and also pick up after office hours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I actually am on my way out the door, thanks for your concern! but the situation will not change

Gotta shut the door and zone out and get it done
Been there, still go there sometimes. It took me a long time to just focus on the work, because at first I thought, "This is so coooool! I don't have to actually go to work. I think I'll go make brownies and come back to it later." WRONG!
Had to make myself a schedule, as the kids were getting packaged brownies and the dishes were never done. It's tough at the beginning to and when I started a year ago nobody was home. Then school got out and I realized I had forgotten to factor in the summer part, which was a nightmare! "Mama! You're not WORKING, ARE YOU?" Ended up starting at 4:00 a.m. and then working again after everyone was settled in bed.
Now I'm back on schedule. Good luck. 
If you quit answering the door and the phone...
