breathe, too, but they are pesky little anoying things. And no, I don't think the killing of thousands of dogs in China was right. It was despicable. But you can't let this thread get carried away by stating that no living breathing thing should ever be killed. JMO.

Ok is it just me or is that mosquito ad the most
Didn't even see the ad for awhile, first thought something was wrong with my PC.
Mosquito Ad
Thank you administration. I heard it for the first time today. I still had my speaker on as loud as it can go because of a soft spoken dictator and I practically flew out of my chair when I heard it.
What do you do when a mosquito lands on you?
nm
I used to do that until it killed me almost! I now do QA.
I did it many years though and with 99% accuracy. You go girlfriend and do it while you can. :)
Tried it, nearly killed me. Unless you want to be

tied to your desk 24/7, not see your family and then if you do you're too tired and cranky to enjoy each other, have no other life, don't mind a messy house, etc. I wouldn't do it. 


You just cannot be productive working this much and especially if all 3 formats are different, plus you'll have to learn new docs, etc., so you will actually be working more hours and making less money, not to mention the stress.   You might could do it for a couple of weeks until you could get a feel for what jobs you like best, but any more than that and it is just too much. 


Get to a Dr. ---my mom had this and it was CHF--it killed her quick-
get checked out.
I tried it last week and it almost killed me
I tried a 5:30 to 9:30 for one company, noon to 4 for another - and squeezing the other work in between those two times - and I was stressed to the max.  If the companies can give you work 24/7 and you can work your own schedule - and it can vary - I think you could do - I just had down time and unpredictable times when doctors would submit work - and no could do!!
pit bulls killed Maltese
I am so sorry about your puppy.  I saw a pit bull attack a German shepherd in our off-leash park.  The owner showed up right after the police -- I and the shepherd's owner were screaming, "Call 911" -- and he gave a fake name and address.  He had another loose pit bull, too.  Then another of my dog-walking acquaintances said she saw a pit bull kill a dog in that same park and the owner then proceeded to kill the pit bull by bludgeoning him/her.  I read that one of every two dogs killed at our animal shelter is a pit.  I have a neighbor who drove 1000-1500 miles, to a breeder's place in California, to get a pit bull to protect his wife, that the breeder claimed was completely gentle, just looked scary.
second job killed me on taxes, so I found a job
that was just money in my pockets without having to claim it - an extra $600/week. Did it until I burned out, which wasn't long - 8 weeks. But it definitely helped!!!!
I would go with vinyl. We have tile now and I think it killed my dog. -sm
She slipped and fell on it when she slopped her water. I almost did too. She could hardly move. I think she might have broken some ribs. At the least they had to be bruised. It was actually my husband's cousin's dog so he took her to the vet and they put her to sleep on me. The vet said she was in severe pain. She was my little buddy. I never had an animal that loved me so much. (And I've always been a cat person.)

Tile is very slippery, hard, and cold too. I found the vinyl a lot easier to clean. Our tile is a mess. It cracked, the grout is dirty even though it was sealed. It's mostly because of the dogs that it's so yucked up. I can't stand going over by the front wall. It's soooo cold there, but I'm really intolerant to cold.

Our vinyl lasted a lot longer and was more comfortable than the tile. Not to mention, we had to cut all the doors besides.
Pit bull dogs killed my lab
About 2 a.m. my husband let our two dogs outside to do their business. Our dogs have squeezed out under a spot under the fence before ane we have put big rocks, a pedestal, etc. in the hole and barricaded the gates, etc. My lab, Shadow, is 1.5 years old and 75 pounds. My mixed dog, Flash, is also around 60 pounds. They apparently got out and got separated. Flash found his way back to the front door and my husband woke me up and said Shadow was missing. We proceed to go through the neighborhood for two hours looking for Shadow. Eventually, we go out the back gate (it is very overgrown and wooded) and two pit bulls come up through the woods and attack Flash. My husband and I are throwing rocks everything we can get ahold of and my husband manages to get the dogs off of Flash.

Long horrific story short, Shadow was killed by these monsters and was found by my husband and a police officer in the woods not far from our back gate. Flash survived. These could have been someone's children. Animal control had been called three times this week on those dogs. We called the police and animal control and the dogs are to be picked up today. We live in the middle of a city and our dogs spend 90% of their time inside. These were our "children", as we do not have any children.

I just wanted to let you know about these types of "pets". Google "labrador" and Google "pit bull" and tell me which one you think is a better choice. These people breed these monsters and teach them to attack. It is a wonder that my husband or myself did not get attacked in the process. Please do not let your children around these animals. It is not safe.

Who do U think killed JonBenet Ramsey?
I think her parents did it...
Pit bull dogs killed my lab
Thank you for your messages. I have read every one and I can see the point of each. I am trying to deal with this the fairest way I know how, but I am heartbroken and do not want anyone else to have to deal with this kind of thing.

Thank you for responding. I really do appreciate every one of your messages. OP
he hasn't actually said, "i killed her." He has only stated, "i was with her when she d
i think he is totally obsessed with the case. whether he did it or not, i am not sure. he can't give details?? the puzzle i am not fitting is the 118,000 ransom note that patsy new about. he has admitted it was a hostage gone wrong. i am wondering if maybe somehow he and patsy worked together on this one and now the reasoning it is coming out since patsy is no longer here. he lived in Georgia where they did but jonbenet was a baby at that time. it states that were vaginal abrasions but no semen? maybe that was a cover up to make it look like an intruder but they kinda left out an item called semen to make it real. makes me wonder if her hymen was intact. he is saying he drugged and raped her but yet autopsy says no drugs in her system.
If only air conditioning killed fleas!! No way!!
I rescued 2 kittens about 6 months ago, and they blessed my house with love and fleas!! I wasted 6 months using Frontline on kitties and dogs - forget it! Infestation crisis! I finally had the sense to switch to Advantage and its a miracle. Much less expensive than Frontline, and way more bang for your buck!! After the initial application of Advantage on 2 cats and 3 dogs, just had to reapply after 2 weeks, and now we are on top of things. No more fleas, though I will continue to use for months more. I hate using this toxic stuff, but my dogs are flea allergic. Nearly killed them. I would give Advantage a shot once just to make sure you didn't miss any fleas. And we keep our house frigid - doesn't bother them one bit. In fact, I picture them laying around in floor cracks and furniture, on little flea lounge chairs with pina coladas!!
Ya know, you probably just killed that patient with your missing period! SM


It's ridiculous when you put it that way, isn't it?  In my opinion the MTSOs and the QA people who work for them have gone way over the top.  I've worked both in the hospital and at home for the MTSO and I can tell you the HIM Director at the hospital and the docs at the hospital could care less if you forgot your period.  When QA tells you that they have had complaints from the client, it's a bunch of garbage unless there are blatant errors such terminology misuse, mispellings, drug dosage errors, etc.  The are absolutely NOT complaining about your missing period.  It sounds to me like the QA department where you work is just looking for every little error they can find.  Some QA editors are on power trips and love to ping you.


I wouldn't worry about it at all.  Use your Expanders like the others suggested.  You could proofread everything you type, but it's easier and more productive to pay attention as your typing. 


 


why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion.  lovely trees and lakes all around.  maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall.  but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
Is anyone watching Court TV and/or following case of 16-year-old who killed parents.
My satellite went out during sentencing and just wondered what her sentence ended up being.  I was hoping life w/o probation. 
People get killed EVERYDAY by making bad decisions. If you go to work
driving while you are intoxicated or sleepy you are more likely to get in an accident. Do you deserve it? I dunno. Maybe people should just use their brains and they would not become victims or killed. Your logic is flawed and you are comparing apples to oranges. How about this? If you wear skimpy clothes and get drunk and hang out with drunk people instead of dressing a little more modestly and keeping your mind sober, who is more likely to be raped? It is logical that consequences of your behavior will decide your fate.
Had a Sony hand control years ago, then my thumb killed me! nm
..
A hyphen never killed anyone but a left and right error did and I catch plenty of those as the MT.
blah - these aren't rules, they are decisions made by a circle of anal retentive MTs. Dorland's and a grasp of the English land and basic sentence structure all make it happen but a love of medicine is what makes an expert in this field because they follow the doctor's hands, eyes and mind.
You seem to forget the HUNDREDS of thousands Saddam killed, execution style.

Yeah, I used to years ago but no heavy usage, what killed by brain cells
not getting high. Granted if I had done it a lot, maybe so, but I have 1 good friend who got high every day, she has a Master's degree and is a respected Speech Therapist, though we tease her about her specialty, "swallowing".
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution.  That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks.  Population is dense and near manufacturing.  So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend.  There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others.  Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas.  You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas?  They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution.  I don't know.  I didn't stay long enough to test the theory.  My mental and physical health is way too important to me. 
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.

I go to my mom's and flip through and don't miss it at all.  All of her stations and hardly anything on to watch.


OMG - how do you live without TV?....I'd die
without my sports! Football season is here, college all day Saturday, NFL all day Sunday, and Monday Night. As well as NHL is back. I would die without my TV.

Not to mention 24 hours on Monday night, Boston Legal on Tuesday night, ER on Thursday night, Law & Order and CSI other nights, as well as my HBO and Max for movies.

Don't know how you do it, but bless you!
Where do you live?
I'm tired of it, too.  I would love to be able to go outside without getting heatstroke!  My animals are in the house all the time, too.  Too hot for them to be outside.
Or go live over there with them
:)
Maybe you could go live in NO

You only live once....
No, sorry for you! Wise up and have some fun - you live only once you know!
Actually where I live...

Where do you live?
In the Northeast? 
I don't know where you live, but
in Houston, illegals are a real problem.

That is the problem though. They come in the food stamp office driving 30,000+ cars! I cannot get my daughter in headstart because we make too much money. We do not get reduced lunch, and I am fine with that. I would like to have her in the same school as my son though. I even offered to pay for it! Every parent during my son's orientation, everyone, who was sitting there getting their reduced lunch approved and were in there for the headstart had kids wearing Air Jordans and the like. My kids had Wal-Mart shoes on! I see people using food stamps who are wearing Hilfiger. It is crazy. They should be held accountable. If you get on assistance, you should have to, mandatory, complete job training. You should be required to prove you were looking for a job. If we have to, they should do home checks! They say you have to look for a job, fax resumes, but it is not consistently followed up on. They have job training, but it is not mandatory. We should hold them accountable. If we did, it would not be so easy to live off the system.

My mom didn't get any assistance either. The only thing she applied for was the counseling, which she could not get. That is it. She worked 2 jobs as long as I can remember. We didn't have anything either. I got teased many times for my clothes. Then she finally got us out of the bad neighborhood into a good school district and I was going to school with kids driving cars worth as much as my house. That is okay though, because it made me a better person. It made me respect the value of a dollar, work hard for what I want, etc. My mother taught me those things through the hardships she had to go through and me seeing her work so hard. When you have a welfare family, that same mentality is only passed on. Until we do something to change that and hold them accountable, you are just breeding more and more that will expect the same things.



I live.....
I live in NY state!
She was asking about a SO that does NOT live with you.
 
live and let live
People who judge others are insecure with themselves. So a person has a big house up on the hill. I bet they have a big morgage with the bank also. Probably two jobs, children they can't raise due to their addiction to needing more. Listen to Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman", she says it all!
Live and let live
Has anybody seen the bumper sticker F with me and you F with the whole trailer park?
To each their own.
Hey I was just trying to find some information on the antibiotic I am on because of the flu. Why in the world are people here judging how others live? Well for those who are being nasty, I just breathed on you! Once you get this you will have better things to do then to try and hurt another living being.
I don't know where you live, but
dental hygienists in metro areas make up to $300+ a day.
Your husband might want to take that into consideration.
My father is a dentist, and I have worked chairside myself.
It's an interesting and challenging career, and I don't rule out a return to it myself.

Not to tell you how to live, but the only person you need to depend on to succeed is yourself. Please don't let anyone (including your husband) hold you back. Good luck in your new career.
I live in PA......sm

All local wages are low. I tried the school district, $6.50/hr; the local banks, around $7.50 - $8.00; and even considered traveling 45 minutes to the nearest industrial area but it wasn't worth it for the $9.50 an hour they wanted to pay. The hospital in that area paid the whopping $8.50/hr for MTs.


I ended up lucking out and getting a job with the DoD, Army. Luckily, they have put us on the same pay scale as New York City, so I get paid well for the area. I don't know how families here do it, my salary alone is more than what most families with 2 people working locally make, and I have much better benefits. Got paid fairly well for the area when working MT from home, but DH is also self-employed and we needed the benefits desperately. My benefit package is probably worth 2/3 - 3/4 of my salary if I add it all up.


 


Do you still live in Ok?
;-)
Used to live in WA...
I can vouch for you, it's a real place! LOL I live in Arlington until moving to PA.
