with my 14 year old Cocker. Strange how it all happened. While I was suffering my own loss, the poster, Laur, was doing the exact same thing at the exact time with her dog. I truly know what you are going through. I have since gotten another Cocker but he will never replace the one that I lost, even though I love him dearly. they are so different in many ways and so alike in others. My kids laugh because when he gets to barking too much, I call him the other dog's name. I'll never forget her.

I did the same thing nearly a year ago. sm
I got sick of talking to Abduleebadabaabah..
"And many tank yous for calling "company name" and how is it I help yous?
I had one foreign guy figure out that I was on the east coast and he said, "You musta be happies with the snows, yes?"
It was August and 98 degrees.
I got shut down with that major company at least 5 times a week. I made sure that they knew that my biggest gripe with their company was that their tech "support" staff was not even in our country.
I've been with a reputable local company for almost 12 months. I have not been shut down once and the only time I did have to call tech support, I talked to a guy named Mike who knew that there is no snow in August. 
Just had to do the same thing this year--sm
I got a letter from the company that I was an employee due to IRS guidelines. For what ever reason they did not tax $24,000 earned in first part of year. Called IRS and they told me to fill out the form. Just heard this week that they were ruling in my favor--not only for 2005 but going back to 2002 when I began working as an IC for them. Have not heard from the company yet though.
I did the same thing this year
I'm also employee status, tiny mortgage, hardly any medical expenses, and getting soaked by tax prep for the last couple years. I was nervous this year because I made more money than I was accustomed to and didn't know if I'd have to pay in, so prior to tax time I did an online free tax estimation with turbotax. I was surprised to discover the standard deduction gave me a better deal. So I looked over my taxes for the last 2 years and sure enough, that's what the tax preparer used. But since they had crunched all my itemized numbers to SEE if itemizing would net me more, I realized my whopping tax prep bill was due to the time they spend doing that.
From now on I'm crunching my own itemized numbers in advance. This year I did my taxes online with OLT, took the standard deduction, and paid a whole $30 to electronically file both fed and state and had both refunds in early February! The IRS website gives a list of recommended companies that will let you use their online software for cheap or free (some age/locations/circumstances restrictions apply) and that's the way I'm going from now on!
All these tax prep places have lost my business, there's no point in paying huge fees for something I can do myself, and in my experience many of their employees don't seem to be very professional or knowledgeable, in that they had to have a supe walk them through half my stuff over the phone! I think as smart as most MTs are, we can figure this stuff out as well if not better than these so-called expets who are basically only temps.
Sickest thing, I made more money my first year as MT as I do now, for working
zz
Funny thing I see the same errors repeated for over a year now of training no matter how many times
you correct it. I think you had better get your facts straight HON.
I know what ya mean April
I left my now 13yo with a babysitter for 2 years while I worked in house. Now with my 2yo twins I have been at home with them the entire time. It is well worth the *bad* stuff IMO. There are crappy things about any job....why not deal with the crap at home, with your kids. LOL :)
Since April 1978

and the other 8, I pay all taxes in April only...nm

quarterly, now I just pay it all in April...nm

Actually no insurance until April 1
Our cat, who has been missing since April
He is a little thin, but otherwise looks to be in good shape. The best news is our new dog (stray -somebody dumped her on the highway by our house) who loves people/hates every other living creature, just walked up to him, sniffed him, and paid absolutely no more attention to him. It's a good day
21 years in April :)
3 years multi-specialty doc office
4 years radiology
14 years acute care (11 working from home)
9.78 cpl
Good luck!
IRS never penalized me, pay once in April
100% for us this past April. nm
Yes - she was in jail for this activity I believe in April -
Administrator knows about her and just last week pulled a post she placed for a C phone. I think we just need to get her name out there so people are aware of what's going on.
Rule of thumb in the NE is October & April when
the time changes. Daylight Savings starts in April and Standard Time in October. It always works for me. Change all the clocks and change all the batteries.
For those who haven't done so yet, though, better get changing.
April, my 5-1/2 month old bichipoo puppy.

Get the April 2006 Consumer Reports magazine...sm
It gives you a rundown on all vehicles as well as which ones have held up well and which ones haven't over the years. It's in the stores now or your local library should have a copy you can look at for free. :o)
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.

After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm
to pay him a cool 1 million dollars. You can check this out at the Medquist website. I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.
P.S. This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc.
Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.
I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.
Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.
Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
Individual IC - own account(s).
Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

46/F I have a 9-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.

Got $$$$ back last year but this year
I have to pay them, sold a property I never lived in but I had enough sense to set aside $45,000 so just waiting on them to send me my WT2s so I can get started.
Best thing - I am my own boss and my own emloyee, worse thing - I am my own boss and my own
:P
A "man" thing? What the heck is a "man thing?"
"I was told it was a "MAN" thing and everyone does it (i guess all men)"
whenever anyone takes an action and relates it to a whole gender and then tags on everyone does it....well, I guess there's your answer
Ask me next year. sm
I quit as an IC telecommunting for a hospital where I was making $35,000 a year, and started for a national as an employee in April. So far, only made $4600 with them. Big OUCH! But just getting the hang of expanders and the 4 accounts I have.
Can't wait to see my end of year :(
less and less every year - sm
Used to be about $35,000, now is about $30,000
Can RAM die? I put in more RAM last year so I should have 768 -- but it says 256 now- sm
anyone have any ideas? I am positive after I put in the new card back in early 02/2005 it read 756. So if anyone had any insight or suggestions I'd appreciate it.....might explain why my computer has been a bit slow lately...we have also had a lot of power surges/outages lately, but I do have battery back up now (after it wiped my work out 2 x), maybe it got fried from that? TIA.
About a year now. Don't like it. NM

3 year old
I am very glad you have a happy ending. A friend of mine, who is an MT, had the same thing happen to her with a tragic ending. Her son had drowned in a pond on their property. He was also 3 years old. They just don't realize the danger.
Make sure he removes his make up before he goes to sleep, LOL.
Big S does. For one year.
I am actually thinking of dictating the information into a microcassette and then hiring a typist to type it out for me.
year-old
I believe I put it in Autocorrect as -yo and then expended to -year-old and it finally worked.
I kept a log my first year but never again. NM

-year-old
When you save -year-old in your autotext check the formatted text box NOT the plain text. This should work.
I did it one year...sm
I lived in PA and was losing about $300 a week because of being out of work. It wasn't really worth it because they only gave me $20 a week to make up for it. I did it over the internet, so paperwork wasn't a factor, but keeping up with the check-in dates got to be a pain for so little money. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is much help for us during the slow time. Unemployement isn't just for the totally unemployed. If you are losing work due to things beyond your control, that still counts. Hope this helps!
Well, I did get a cat the next year...
so Dorothy was treated to those three cans of cat food! However, she didn't like 'em.
Maybe next year
she can blind carbon copy everyone and nobody will be the wiser.
Anyone else with an 18-year-old
My son is pulling the "greater than thou" attitude. I don't know if this is his way of getting me to kick him out of the house or what. He is to start college next year and we had told him he could stay here to save on rent, but I don't think it is going to work out. Also, what obligation do we, as parents, have as far as assisting in college payment?
> 1st of the year I think she said. nm

My ten year old said to me the other day, sm
Mom, you look like a Saint. I said, "a Saint"? He said, "ya a Saint Bernard"
