as landlords, you give notice, after that, you put lock on door, with all their stuff inside, if they don't pay up, sell their stuff. get rid of the gas hog suv, do much 4-wheelin? or why do you need that thing in the first place, cause everyone else has one? being 1/2 mexican and 1/2 italian, you eat pasta, 60 different ways, or you eat tortillas and beans. cheap. I remember having 2 teenagers, no income whatsoever, found a can of V-8, and a box of pasta, made sauce from the V-8, my kids later asked me to make it again. had a dollar to last me for 2 weeks, lost the dollar and cried like a baby, FOR A DOLLAR! and last but not least, things can always be worse. buck-up and do what ya gotta do.

You have it write Broke!!!
You are exactly right. Ooooh let me buy that huge TV or put a brand new Lexus in the driveway. please. Christmas is about giving not about receiving and it is not about giving presents. It is our time and our love that is needed most, especially this time of year. We do the same here. Make presents for each other, make the decorations for the tree, donate our time and our money to those who need it. Soup kitchens, Salvation Army, local homeless shelters, etc, etc. We have never "not" been able to afford going crazy on Christmas presents for our own families, but really just never wanted. Our entire family feels it is much more important to spend on those who most need our help. Kudos for you and a very merry Christmas!!!!!!
First co went broke, so went to second, which sold

Several MT companies are going broke SM
and I anticipate them either folding or being merged into several other companies.
There is not enough of the pie to go around.
I do think there will always be some work for young mothers, who want to earn extra money, while working at home. Just not enough money to be made by the rest of us.
I broke into the field with a 9-mo baby....
I quit my office job (not MT related) to be at home with my daughter when she was born. I had left nursing several years before, but because of that had medical knowledge and had taken terminology. I began working for a small service ran by a friend of my mother (a definite break) and since my mother was an MT too, I had her AND my mother's friend to call any time I was stuck. I spent 2 solid years calling on the phone about 50 times a day. Fortunately I was married and didn't have the stress of being the only one making an income. That took the stress off. That baby is almost 18 now and I'm still here, having working my way through 2 more babies. I've worked in-house a couple different times for short periods, but I never enjoyed it. I've been home so long now that I don't know anything else. I love it. It's almost more crucial to be "hands on" with your kids as they get older and into their late school age and teen years, than it is when their needs are more simple. With all that's out there to corrupt our kids, I think they're better off spending as much time with family as reality will allow.
another one is Broke Back Mountain
I already knew what was going to happen ahead of time. I think they must have been going for the *shock factor* of two gay men in a film, which has never been done, because the rest of the movie was at a standstill. Altogether nonconvincing!
The STRAW that broke the CAMEL'S back!!
 Can you believe there is trainee from India, living here in the U.S., who has been training on my primary account for the past TWO months at least....the problem is all she wants to do are the good American dictators and she is ALLOWED to skip, pass over, cherry pick past her own countrymen's bad dictations.
I've watched my line counts go down now for quite awhile wondering if all the decent dictators on my account were hijacked somewhere, now I know why!! How long should it take a person to get used to transcribing ALL the dictations???
This, to me, just adds insult to injury....first all we seem to be getting are the terrible dictators from India....now even if we are "lucky" enough to have a transcriptionist from India living here in the US transcribing on our accounts, all they want to transcribe are the good American dictators. I've turned my cheek more than once but am beginning to think enough is enough!! What say you????
I tried the Wellbutrin and broke out in massive hives

Oh, my MT's aren't going broke -they are very happy with their accounts...sm
I haven't had an MT leave me yet because they found better work at a better price even though I come right out and tell them: if they can make more money working for someone else, please take it. (so sorry to ruin your pity party :) though). I have also taken on newbies and trained them into the business. I have worked with my MT's when they found an account that they wanted to get for themselves. I've talked them through proposals, sent them some of my paperwork, and even some of my advertising. I've always told them I feel there's enough work in this business for all of us and I can always find someone to work on my accounts to replace them if they get their own work- so if I can help them land an account of their own- more power to 'em! You know, you can do the same thing I did...just go out, get your own accounts, buy equipment, set up a file transfer system, bid a good price and get the doc to take it, find some good MT's, train them on the account, then go out and get another account and do the same thing. And then get more accounts. As was said before, anyone can do it -- it's just that most people won't.
I have an HP and the power jack broke in less than a year
I had to buy a battery charger and an extra battery and run it off batteries. Seems to be a problem with HP. Don't want to get it repaired because local guys will not guarantee motherboard won't get damaged and it is cheaper at this point to buy a new one than send out.
Hilarious name for a gay movie. Broke back mounting.
Gays love it. A play on words.
Can't wait to take my family.
Mother fell and broke hip Sat, sent home by ER doctor
who said it was only bruised. Hospital calls Tuesday afternoon and says she actually had a broken hip and needed surgery. In the 3 days before the nursing home found out it was broken, she fell again. Has anyone ever heard of the radiology dept taking 3 days to read films? It was Memorial Day weekend, but even so I don't think it should have taken so long.
Can anywone recommend a good vacuum cleaner? My old one broke and has to be replaced. Thanks. NM

Well, if you broke your right hand and were right-hand dominant, can you see how this might be a fac
It may not be relevant at the time of dictating a physical exam or social history but in the future it would be good to know if the patient breaks the finger(s), wrist, hand, arm.
