In Reply to: My doctor told me I have all the symptoms of "Andropause"... - RadGuy
I asked him if he had his period. He took the slightest offense at anything, the tone of my voice when answering him, a look on my face, boy it was a fun night. He apologized later, which is a minor miracle in itself.....He suffers from depression as it is (untreated unfortunately) so he is already a bundle of fun to live with. Oh well, another thing to look forward too.

ooh touchy touchy - eTime is merely online...
No never, I'd procrastinate if it was on. My husband comes in the bedroom at night after dinner,
and turns on the TV, the minute he leaves (generally after watching it for 5 minutes) I turn it off, otherwise it would just be on and he'd be at the other end of the house watching TV in the LR, waste of electric and distracts me to no end. But I can relate with getting motivated, I am not as devoted as I should be but plan to really get serious in the Fall when school starts up again. I had planned to buckle down this year but life did not let that happen unfortunately. For now I plan to just work late, get up early.....the kids do not allow much work during the Summer, at least not all day.....I can squeeze 2-4 hours in during the day but it can be tough. Just do the best you can.
touchy, touchy
If an artist cannot perform a song made famous by a singer of the opposite gender then she certainly doesn't deserve to be called the American Idol. And you blame Elliott for Kat's shortcomings? Come on. Goofy, I think not. He doesn't come across as "Look at wonderful me, me, me!!!!" like ~some~.
Not really touchy, touchy
Ah well, thank goodness we're all entitled to our opinions. Wheher Kat goes or stays, I think she'll have a recording contract, which probably could be said for the remaining four. ;o)
Touchy
I think it is a darn shame that so many posters on this board take any and every opportunity to jump down each other's throats. Some folks seem to delight in picking apart everyone else's posts and 'reading into' them and then coming down on the poster and nitpicking them apart. We should be able to vent frustrations in here without being called 'unprofessional' and attacked by our peers. JMO.
Touchy, I never mentioned your age
You call attention to the fact of being retired in all your postings.
Goodness! This has sure been a touchy subject!
Just my 2 cents since everyone has has put theirs in too... As I posted earlier, I have 2 small kids (6 and 7) and 1 teenager (15). I had always worked "outside" but got laid off while working as an LPN and went back to school for this to specifically work at home. I do like what I do and do feel privileged to work at home. It is hard to juggle everything, but it was also hard to juggle everything when I worked outside of the home as well. It is what it is. My husband thinks my job is great, but he doesn't comprehend how difficult it is to deal with the distractions from just being at home, as I think it is difficult for anyone who doesn't work at home to understand that. People don't respect work time when you are at home like they do when you are at a place of business, be it friends or family. I also think that people do sometimes look at this profession with these rose-colored glasses because we "work at home" and forget that we have to actually work! You just can't do housework and cook and whatever else for 8 hours and get in 8 hours of work at the same time. That being said... as I live in Minnesota and it is like 15 below 0 outside with lots colder than that windchill... I am grateful that I can work at home even on my most worst days! 
You said it correctly, very touchy subject
as the majority of people working from home apparently get upset when I say MTs are coming across as being unprofessional when they write about being "supermoms" and yet complaining about how to fit time in for their babies, housework, cooking, washing, etc. while doing a job. I have never complained about my salary, my hours I spend working, the bosses I work for, just do my job. I, like you, worked outside when my children smaller but if I wanted to provide for them then, that was something we had to do, had no choice, just what you do as a member of the human race. It is probably a good thing for a lot of the people writing into this board to be able to "work" from home, otherwise I don’t see them making it in the "real" world of employment. I think your post was excellent and said exactly what I have been saying for some time. Try telling that to the moms who write in. I am not now nor would I ever say I was supermom nor super anything for that reason, not a "single" mother as to me that designates someone who wants people to feel pity for them because they have a child(ren) they are supposed to care for, only a woman who has raised her children to adulthood and ones any mother could be proud of and I did it, well just because that is what a mother does. I don’t look for any pats on my back. I have a strong work ethic and I applaud you for yours.
I didn't mean to sound touchy. You misunderstood and
whether or not you MEANT to reply to my post, you did. What else was I to think?!
I don't have all the answers but I was quite aware of that information already.
No offense taken by me! Just felt like you misunderstood, that's all!
Why start such a debatable touchy topic?
x
I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
Touchy feely versus show me the money sm
I keep trying to say, over and over again here, that LINE RATES ARE ARBITRARY!!!!
Having the right MT job is a matter of three things...courteous people to work with, a decent platform and enough understandable dictations to make some money. I can PROMISE YOU that if they are paying a lot, they expect a lot. If the situation was more pleasant, they could hire MTs for less than that high high line rate.
Now, I am not saying I'd work for 7.5 cents or even 8, but I did take an employee position for 8.5. I accepted this for other reasons. You all might think that companies owe us benefits, PTO and so forth on their tab and that we should STILL be paid top dollar. There are companies who do and can, but they work their MTs very hard and I know this first hand.
Benefits, PTO, 401Ks...these are NOT free! There is no free lunch with this stuff. Remember that the only people in an MT company who are actually GENERATING income are the MTs. The QA people, the team leaders, the IT people, the MT manager, the owners...they all suck on bottle ONLY WE fill with milk. I am in favor of fewer office people being around to suck from that bottle, and a wise company has as few support staff as can be managed and at the same time, charge as much money as they can get away with. If they offer benefits, those benefits suck the bottle too, but they make cheese out of it and hand it back to us. That means less cream for pay, but it means having cheese. The bottle holds a finite amount, after all.
My taking less money is because from all I have read, this is an excellent company. The benefits are low priced and the company pays part of this for me. The PTO pay is the most fair and reasonable I have ever even heard of, and there is plenty of it even in the first year. The QA is all promoted from within, they still type on a daily basis as it should be, and they all have at least 10 yrs of experience. The platform is a dream come true. Even at 8.5 cents, I stand to earn over $30 an hour that I could not earn at 10 cents a line because I didn't have this much support.
DH is dear husband or any number of colorful adjectives preceding husband. (no message)
;)
I totally understand but if your husband is like my husband... sm
When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"
Him: (shrug)
etc., etc., etc.
Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
65 at night - 70 in day

We had that last night.
I was just bored today since I'm not working. I like cooking different foods as a hobby. LOL
yes, I got it last night...sm
sure do wish they'd make up their minds. When I first started on DQS, from Cottage, I got "yelled" at about NOT putting 2 spaces, now I'm used to 2 spaces, and they go and change it again. Oh, well. Guess I'll get read to get "yelled" at again! 
About last night...

last night
This was a great article. I think she hit the naile on the head in her assessment of each one of them.
Tks for posting the link.
Just on TV last night sm
I'm in California and DPSS Department of Social Service did this exact same thing and did not want to shred so out in open to recycle, 93,000 people to be notified. Shameful disregard, no wonder so muc IF theft. The TV station esposed this happening.
AI - CNN Last night
They had something on CNN last night where they had four people talking about Chris being voted off. One of them was an AI contestant from last year and she wasn't pulling any punches which was nice to see. She told it like it is. She didn't side step any questions like some people. She said Katharine should have gotten voted off instead of Chris and she and all the others said that Katharine would win, not because she was the most talented, but because she was the most marketable. One reporter said Chris got voted off because he was creepy! Of course, it was a man.
Get a PT job at night, then if you like it and - sm
they will let you got FT, then go for it. Never quit a job before you have another in the bag.
CSI NY last night... anyone see it?
So, on CSI NY last night, MAC sure did a good job using a shoestring to tie up that agents artery, didnt he? Even if he WAS in the service, I was impressed. Although, he's no Grissim. Speaking of which... CANT WAIT FOR TONIGHT! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/ if you click here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/producer_picks/ you can watch the producer's favorite episodes for free on your computer. :D
Yes, I saw this last night
My husband is one of those Vets that could potentially have his identity stolen. :( Very concerning!
Other night job
I dance at the local "Dancing Bare"and am known as the cellulite Grandma.
up all night?
Has anyone ever pulled an all-nighter and typed through the night after your shift during the day? Please tell me how you did it! A strong pot of coffee is a given and some carbs are probably a given.
Also, those of you who work the midnight shift, do you have any tips for staying alert when the house is quiet and the neighborhood is fast asleep?
Thanks in advance!
up all night
This will really mess with your circadian rhythm and make you crazy. No kidding. That is why they outsource now to India (among other things) because when we sleep, they are having their morning coffee and are ready for their day.
up all night
I've been on nights for over 20 years. I suggest keeping yourself well-hydrated - tea, whatever - and every 1-1/2 hour or 2, get up and do a tiny bit of QUIET exercise - walk door to door, make some jello for tomorrow, sort a laundry basket, etc. Amazing what you can get done in those 5 minutes and it boosts productivity. It may take me a week, but I've cleaned out cupboards, etc. a half-shelf at a time and I've stayed awake.
Had one last night
I'm typing a chest/abdomen/pelvis for a MALE john doe. The resident mentions a missing uterus. Then he makes a big deal of making me go back and change that to a "very small" uterus. Wonder what it really was?
What Night Owl said! :)
Bah, humbug! Greedy, lying jerks.
70 degrees day and night

Average Joe Won Last Night!
 There's hope for me yet!
I saw it last night--it was great!! sm
Vince Vaughn was hilarious!! I loved the movie and highly recommend it.
Try again Monday night.
I'll keep trying.
We had it last night. It was wonderful.

Yes, I wish I could get them to sleep at night, too.
I had one kid wide awake until after midnight, and another one woke up at 4:30 this morning with a bad dream. This was after one of their friends pestered me every five seconds yesterday so I had to get up early this morning to finish my work. It was, "Hey, watch me. Hey, look at this. Hey, look what I can do. Hey, look what I built. Hey, hey, hey." Tap, tap, tap on the shoulder. How 'bout, "Hey, go bug your own Mom because I'm working"? 
Well, I did watch it last night
I thought sure it was going to be Claire. Can't imagine what they could do for the finale. They've already done it all. I hope they don't kill anyone else off. Nate sure did leave a mess, like you say. Makes you think about yourself and not wanting to leave such a mess when you go yourself. Maybe I'm just being maudlin, huh? Anyway can't wait for next week. Really got kinda nervous, though watching Brenda and Billy. Glad it was just a dream - whew!
1st night on 3rd shift and still
but i started at 11 p.m., and notice that my line count for first hour was credited to yesterdays work. so -- is this just a fact of life for 3rd shifters?
Wow, that's great. I was just in awe last night sm
watching them chopper those little critters out of there. They had dogs, puppies, kitties and even a bird. It was great. The Humane Society said they were even going to go in and get the displaced gators and snakes and whatever else that was in there and take them to safer ground.This is a great place we live in, everyone chipping in and helping out.
BB Thursday night.
It was Howie (sniff). And Janelle is the new HoH.
Good night.
Good riddance, bite the big one junior.
Good night to you, too.
Oh, believe me, there are no stables in my life. That is all about you. You and your animals. So in love! So, happy together.
Night splints
Have you tried wearing rigid wrist splints at night to keep your wrists from bending while you sleep? That really helps me when my wrists are hurting.
Good night all!

Did anyone see Primetime last night???
I was shocked and horrified! If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about...if not, here's the short version...
A 16 or 17 YO female employee of a Kentucy McDonald's was strip searched, beaten, and sodomized (sp?) for over 2 hours...by her well-over-40 manager and the manager's bald, fat fiance! The manager got a phone call from someone claiming to be a police officer, accusing the young girl of steadling a customer's purse...the manager proceeded to strip search the girl, have employees come in to watch the girl, then called her fiance to come in and watch the girl. They talked to this person on the phone for hours and he was giving them instructions on what to do to the girl...the fiance sodomized the girl, hit her repeatedly on her bare behind until she developed whelps on her behind, then forced her to perform sexual acts on him...all under the direction of this person on the phone!
This is the short version, it goes on, but I was so shocked, I could not believe it! The manager, the fiance, and the caller are all being charged with various crimes against this child. It is just sickening to think that grown people, adults who are supposedly halfway smart, could do something like this to an innocent child. And the manager was on the show, claiming total innocence in the whole thing...the manager was a female, if I didnt mention it already...
Sorry this is so long, but I am still shocked. If anyone else saw this, please add your thoughts! 
It worked for me last night, but
I have no idea how to grab from the bag. I paid through Paypal.
Thanks I tried that one last night too and it didn't get it either
I was born at 1:17 am, Night Owl here.
