It is odd that she wants to tell you what to do with clothing that she "gives" to you.  That is horrible!  In my opinion you did the right thing about telling her that you don't have anymore room in your clothes.  She does know why you are not accepting the clothes anymore.  If that does not make her change her tune then nothing will.  So, I think it is best, even though you two are missing out on a good thing, to have nipped this thing like you did.  You may be losing out now but if it would have kept on and perhaps all of you been at the same place at the same time with your friend wearing "your gifts" then it could have turned out to be sour.  Now the only thing sour is your "friend" that has an abundance of clothes right now.

BTW - what kind of a friend does that to another friend?  Hopefully, no friend of mine...

as long as it's his 5 pairs of shoes by the door, his clothing draped over the chair in the dining room and his misc. "stuff" piled on the dining room table (yes, the dining area is also by the front door) then it's invisible to him.  NOW, if it's mine or the kids' stuff anywhere - the house is a "disaster."  I intentionally leave all his stuff wherever he leaves it so that I can point it out to him whenever he starts to complain about the kids' toys in the living room...    

Young people can have heart problems.

I've been in a panic lately because my left-sided chest has been hurting off and on.  I've had two abnormal EKGs in the past.  I went to the doctor two weeks ago and he blew me off.  I'm in my early 30s, too.  I have high school friends who have had heart attacks and coronary artery grafting or died.  Oh, the doctor just treated me like a hypochondriac again.  I've got kidney problems, too, but they won't even do a urinalysis.  Evidently, none of my symptoms are serious enough to warrant workup or treatment.  Never mind the fact that diagnosed "reflux" was actually a hiatal hernia and diagnosed "constipation" was actually large kidney stones blocking my ureter.

Long story short.  LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.  FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.  Get thee to a doctor and be persistent, for you, for hubby, for your kids and for your peace of mind.

I know exactly what you mean. We see it in E-mails all the time where I work. Although they aren't enforcing it, they do ask that we work our full shift AND get our lines in. I know Dictaphone Extext tracks your typing time and you can see that when you check your line count. It gets really depressing on the speech editing because actual typing time is a LOT less, so it takes longer to get my time in.

This is another way to get more out of the MTs. I think it's all crap, especially since if you were to go over 40 hours a week you won't get paid!

Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google.  (I love the Internet!  No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.)  I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet.  Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.

For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice.  I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly.  You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish.  I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.

I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls.  I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil.  I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts.  Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp.  Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.
