I saw the show with Sarah Bernhardt and she was a *guest* and was treated so poorly by Star and Elisabeth that day.  Star and Elisabeth didn't like Sarah's politics or view and attacked Sarah....Star by saying *I'm looking too cute today to be bothered by the likes of you* or words to that very effect....and then the Honey line by Elisabeth......

Is this the way people treat GUESTS?  I think not.  The show reached it's lowest point on that day, in my opinion.

I think the show will not survive..........whether or not Rosie or anyone else steps in.  It's time to retire the show.  It's beyond *leaving gracefully* now.  And though I hate to say it, Barbara Walter's credibility is now pretty much shot to heck......because of this show.

refuse to work for companies like this. I've said it many times before. I have worked at two hospitals as an at-home employee. Many accounts for other hospitals, fill-in stuff, doctors' offices.

The company I work for ow is pretty large, its employees national, from PA to Alaska.

We do have account specifics. But somehow, some way, the MTSO has always kept our "welfare" first and foremost, except for some niggling problems with turnaround time that *I* don't agree with. They are fairly minor, I just get aggravated over the hospital thinking they own us.

We are assigned a certain number of minutes a day...whatever we've asked to get. If we do that in 15 minutes, wonderful. We just made a jillion dollars an hour. If it takes us 10 hours, well, we made less.

We can plan our lives. We make decent money. She absolutely does NOT let anybody pull the above crappola on us. There's somebody else on this board who works for the same person. I imagine she feels pretty much the way I do, but I can't swear to that.

Please tell me if I am wrong.  I told my husband that I need an ergonomic keyboard now as my hand and arm have been sore and achy recently.  I am going to do whatever I can to avoid CTS.  Well, bills are tight, of course.  The thing is I asked him IF we can swing it anytime soon, can we get one.  Here's the thing:  I take $100 out of my paycheck every 2 weeks for spending money, i.e. going to lunch with friends, w/ my kids mind you.  He tells me to use my spending money to but the keyboard instead of going to lunch.  Okay.  The thing is lunch every couple of weeks is the only time, and I mean only time, that I get to go anywhere due to time/money issues.  HE on the other hand constantly goes to his dad's after work, where all the boys hang out, and comes home after a couple/few hours of hanging out.  That does not bother me.  What bothers me is that he doesn't get that it will always cost money for me to go out because either we pay a sitter or I have to pay for something,  Lucky him that the beer is provided.  Must be nice to have your freedom.  I don't think he really gets how good he has it.  I am the only wife that doesn't give him an earful when he comes home after being out with the guys. 

Am I being a shrew?

I find that after a certain amount of hours, say 4 or 5, my arms and hands turn to jelly, and my body gets sore and fatigued from sitting in a chair. It is to the point where I actually dread working. And it's not because the work is hard, because it isn't. It's because it takes a lot of of me physically.

My question is, what are some tips to help fight fatigue? It's almost to the point where I want to only do MT for 4 hours and find another job to do for 4 hours a day, one that doesn't demand so much physically. Although I wouldn't mind doing this until I retire, what it does to your body pretty much has made that not an option for me.

Said he is going to fight against that medical records thing.  Didn't mean offshoring, does not sound like he has any idea about that happening to our medical records.

Why would they deny it?  Unless it's an unauthorized procedure via HMO.  Bleah.  I'd also talk with your daughter to see if she has concerns.  Be patient, though.  She'll talk to you if she knows you'll talk with her instead of yelling at her.

I'm fighting a bill for several thousand dollars that has been denied three times now in the past 18 months.  However, I legitimately had dual insurance coverage at the time, so I shouldn't have had to pay anything out of pocket.

seeing one of those earlier Star Wars movies, maybe the first one, and some guy next to me had a little about 2-1/2 to 3 with him.  That kids are TERRIFIED, keping asking "what's that Daddy, why's he doing that Daddy, DADDY DADDY!"

Have people lost their brains?  Kids can't process all this stuff.  Let them watch Thomas the Train or Little Bear and let them be kids.

to whiney MTs in their quest for the bottom line profits.  There are too many other people who will happy to work for less just for the opportunity to work at home and then again there are those offshore who will work for even less for the opportunity to simply work, any where, any time, any place.

And as far as battles go, who you going after and how do you prove you were wronged. 

Then factor in the MTs who are getting the good reports.  Are they going to fight the cherry-picking unethical battle with you.

Sorry it's a lost cause and it is the nature of the business.  Maybe 10 years ago you might have had a chance.  Nevermore.  That is reality. 

in he political system.  These politicians are bought by special interests.  Many of the people with special interests are corporations, insurance companies, etc.  They have major money to contribute to run a politician's campaign.  Both Democrats and Republicans take this money.  So if both the politicians are in need of money to win an election and you and I can provide the money the special interests are going to be heard above and beyond the little guy with a beer in his hand who is working 8-5 and wouldn't know how to organize a revolution if he had an instruction book.  Besides he is too darn tired and has to mow the grass, take the kids to the movies, etc, etc, etc. 

So you got both parties taking special interest money in return for favors granted (or the funding is stopped and the party can't win) What is the American public going to do?  Not vote?  You only get two choices and the system is corrupt.  What do you do?  Once again, you are assuming the American public is intelligent and united.  If you read posts or editorials anywhere you will see the American public is divided led by sound bites or blind loyalty to a political party.  You aren't going to see anyone overthrow this government in this lifetime.  People in power are not going to give it up to let Joe-Six-Pack run the country on his $100 day budget to campaign.  It is sad but true.  We have been led down a path that it is too late to turn back.  While the politicians were passing these laws to allow offshoring/outsourcing, we were watching TV or busy with daily activities of living, thinking this will never affect me.  And it's the same deal now. 

Anybody agree on who should be president?  How about Iraq war?  Anybody agree on forcing the national companies to pay us more for MT?  Come on.  Be real.  You can't unite this country on the smallest issues.

also coughed and hacked and made all sorts of snorting noises after drinking water.  She, also, did not actually vomit.  I have her on Benadryl twice a day and that has seemed to cut down on these "attacks" after drinking water.  She is also a rescue dog, is about 10 years old (as far as we can tell), and is a Lhasa Apso.  She is healthy and happy so I do not worry about the coughing/hacking spells.

BTW, as far as rescue animals, I believe they are the BEST.  The two dogs and one cat that I have right now are all rescues.  It is as if they know what their fate was and every day they are appreciative to you for sparing them and giving them a loving home. 

You will be rewarded for your kindness!

Shock collars are cruel. I feel sorry for your dogs.

I just took my one Shih Tzu in (I have three), 12 y/o, for shots he was due for and discussed with the Vet some concerns I have with him. His weight has not dropped but I feel he has lost muscle mass, his hair has thinned on his back but I attribute that to the liquid flea med I applied there as it happened soon after that (which all three of my Shih Tzu had reaction to these applications BTW-neurological symptoms, so everyone be ware of this possibility!). He has quite a bit of eye discharge, yellow sometimes and I use eye wash and artificial tears on him daily. He doesn't drink or urinate excessively. If anything, I get concerned he does not drink enough. I asked about "dementia" in dogs as we feel like sometimes he is "lost" if you know what I mean.

Right now, he has an anal gland infection and I found out that the small scabs he developed on his back is staph! I just thought they were "hot spots" which are common in Shih Tzu and I was treating them with Triple Antibiotic ointment. I feel just awful now. Anyway, he is on an antibiotic that will take care of these two problems.

My concern now though is the vet stated that a lot of his symptoms s/l they could possibly be Cushings! I told her I wanted to investigate this further and wait until we have his current medical issues taken care of and then I will go and have lab test run to check for Cushings.  What type of symptoms does your dog have that has Cushings? Is testing and/or meds expensive and/or what treatments do they offer? What about their comfort and life expectancy of a dog with Cushings? I am just sick to think he may have this. I can only imagine how you must feel.

 3 boxers, 1 rottweiler, 1 miniature pinscher, 1 English shepherd, 2 mixed breed.  We live out in the country.  My 21 YO daughter is home all the time and really loves having the dogs.  Most of them are hers.  She has mild cerebral palsy and has not been able to find a job locally, so this gives her something to do.  She plans on becoming a boxer breeder.  We alternate letting the ones living outside out of their kennels to exercise.  The one living in the house gets to go out often as well.  She is trained to go to the door when she wants to go potty.
