in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!)  If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two. 

Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind.  Love it.  I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke).  I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P. 

I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day.  Anybody else? 

She is almost 20.  Her fur is matted, cause she doesn't groom herself anymore, I've cut off what I can without cutting her.  She doesn't hear well, and I have noticed in the past few weeks that she doesn't see well either.  Thankfully, she is still eating and yelling at the dogs, so I guess she feels okay, but I cry just writing this, cause I know I will be kind of lost without her when the time comes. 

could be the end of the week or the end of the month or the day that the company calls the insurance company to cancel them. You cannot depend on thinking if you quit in the middle of the month you will be covered through the end of the month. You have to find out exactly from your company. Also for COBRA benefits you are eligible for up to 18 months or perhaps longer in special circumstances but yes you have to pay the premium all by yourself, the company doesn't chip in at all. The plus side is you are still in a group plan. You cannot get individual insurance unless you have NOTHING at all wrong with you, no high blood pressure, no depression, nothing. It is very important to not have a lapse in coverage greater than 60 days. If you do, you will lose coverage for any preexisting conditions when you go to your next GROUP insurance (this is the other part of HIPAA - portability). If for example you are covered for high blood pressure and you don't choose COBRA and your insurance lapses for more than 60 days, when you get on the next group plan, they will not cover your high blood pressure M.D. visits or medications for up to 1 year.

You can get relatively cheep individual coverage if you choose a high deductible, to carry you through. That is, if you can get it. Good luck.

People who grew up with it and have moved have it sent to them now or stock up when they visit Louisiana.

Ham, chicken pastry, chicken salad, deviled eggs, collards, sweet potato crunch, cabbage, corn, butterbeans, peas, homemade buiscuits, cornbread, and lots of dessert.

Then the kids have a big Easter egg hunt!

Well, I kind of liked the OPs thing kept a secret.  Now get ready down the road for more people hopping on the OPs bandwagon and there will be less to go around. Some things are just left better unsaid....especially publicly.

...Some other unsuspecting MT is signing a contract with these folks. 

Believe me, I felt the SAME exact way as you back when I was fooled by D&L.  I gave them the benefit of the doubt for over a month, and actually believed payment would be sent to me.  I didn't talk badly about them, well not until PA Dept of Labor decided there was nothing they could do for me as an IC.  Here it is, 1 year later, and I still haven't been paid...either have 20+ others who were all just suddenly *let go.* 

The only loyalty you should ever have in this business is to yourself, your pocket and to a fellow struggling MT.  Don't be scared to let others know the name of a company to avoid. 

Good luck dealing with PA courts/magistrates/Dept of Labor, etc.  I hope you get your pay.

Whole bean and grind it yourself.  It blows away the stuff in the can already ground.

I buy what is on sale, because it all tastes good when you grind it yourself.  But I prefer 8 O'Clock Coffee, which may or may not be available in your area. 

Whole bean all the way.
