So did a lot of people, but they didn't grow up to be skanks.
She's gross.
A lot of people who grew up without privilege ended up skanks too
Money or lack of money has nothing to do with it. It's whether the person has any value system, lines they will not cross, and standards set for themselves regardless of financial status.
My rant re: "a match made in trailer heaven - two skanks in a crud"
Let me FIRST say that I do not usually rant, I am not a ranter, if something bugs me I take a deep breath, look at the offending item in the grand scheme of my life and realize that most of the time it isn't that big a deal. However, these condescending trailer park references that I run into are a bunch of crap!
How can you make a derogetory referrence regarding people who live in trailers? If it had something to do with race or sex you have been flamed by the whole board. I am sick and tired of generalizations directed basically towards me! I live in a trailer in a trailer park and I MOST CERTAINLY am not a skank. I have heard it all, white trash, trailer trash, skank, etc. when people talk about parks. My town even named it a "Manufactured House Community" and hid it where you can't see it! I am here because I can afford it here. The average price for a house in my town in Maine is $250,000 ++. While we do just fine, I cannot afford that on my MT salary (been MT for 6 years) even though my husband works his butt off at 3 jobs. Oh sure, we could probably get a loan for a $300,000 house but I refuse to get in over my head in debt just to convince people like YOU I am in your league! I also LIKE it here. My neighbors are the best I have had. All of our homes (trailers) are well maintained, the lawns are spotless, and there is not a single car up on blocks that I can see anywhere!! Don't even bother to tell me that is not the norm for parks because there are 300+ trailers in this park and they are all just as well taken care of!
Another thing that irritates me is the word "skank". I have never understood why women have to tear each other down using trashy descriptions like that. Of course I am sure there are those out there who DESERVE the title but most of the time women seem to judge based on the look of the offending party.
You may think your comment was tiny and I am blowing it out of proportion, but I am not! It is comments like that that makes people like my neighbors ashamed to even tell people where they live.
I have said my piece and I await the flaming. When you drive through my park (yah right) and see me standing on the nice, green lawn in front of my pretty trailer with my 7-year-old in the yard, my toddler on my hip, looking very pregnant in my cutoffs and tank tops, you can THINK "skank" all you want. I KNOW that I am a strong, educated, well-employed woman with a nice little family who refuses to put all our happiness and our hard-earned savings on the line to prove that I am EQUAL to people like you!
dress
Wow, no disrespect at all, but you call that "rebelling"? You're very lucky! When I was a teenager in the 80s, I dressed in "punk" gear; however, I was a straight A student, didn't smoke or drink, and was basically a "good girl" - that was just my way of expressing myself. I personally see nothing wrong with letting teens dress to express themselves even if it is in a way we personally aren't crazy about (unless of course it is obscene or too sexy or involve lots of piercings). Wearing lots of black, dying and cutting hair in "alternative ways", things like that I believe are basically harmless ways of kids expressing themselves and, like your daughter basically pointed out, showing their individuality. You really need to look at what is going on INSIDE them instead of on the outside. If all is well on the inside, don't worry so much about the outside. They'll outgrow whatever fad or trend they are experimenting with. I did.
The OP is in the US. Let's try being a little nicer.

I bet most of them were nicer when
all the MTs worked in house. I've only gotten to work alongside radiologists, and it was great to be able to actually talk to them. Most were extremely reasonable in person (and radiologists tend to be much better dictators because they need every word to be right).
Dress him like a smurf

I don't care how they dress.....sm
I know that customer service is sorely lacking, especially in bigger cities (forget what they wear) - where they act like they are doing YOU a favor instead of realizing that we, the customer, are THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER. Customer service has been sorely lacking in central through S. Florida for a long, long time......it's really sad.
There was a program on TV recently, think it was 20/20 (not sure), but it was about HOW AMERICA GOT SO RUDE....and 20 minutes of this show was spent on cell phone usage.....and I concur. I believe the cell phone, while necessary for some, is the bane of the world. People became incredibly self absorbed and don't you just LOVE the people waiting on you in any customer service who CHAT ON THEIR CELLPHONES while they are waiting on you? Or who do their jobs with their cellulars attached to their ears on personal phone calls while working (not emergent phone calls)? It's nauseating.......
Here is an even nicer way to handle it!
I totally agree with having her over in YOUR space and being nice to her. Tell her you can hear everything through the walls and celings (blaming them was a good idea) Tell her other things BESIDES her that you can hear. Tell her what you do for a living and what times you work, and how those "other" noises are so distracting. You don't have to tell her she is too loud; she will surely get the picture if she has any sense at all. If that doesn't fix the problem, then I would go to the manager and ask if there have ever been other complaints about her first. He/She may already know this is a problem. You never know how people will react if you tell them you would appreciate it if they would be quiet, no matter how nice you say it. I would have her over for snacks and a "chat" real soon though or you will go insane!
What you said is so much nicer than what I was thinking (nm)
x
Well, let's hope they are nicer than you.
d
And maybe you both should pur forth a little effort little nicer in the AM. What I said was
at being a little bit nicer in the AM. What I said was possible Adware. What a sally that you think I would allow that type of trash to rear its ugly head on any of my PCs. NO NO NO. I have far more superior PC knowledge than to allow that to happen to me, but I have received e-mails from others who visit this site and are perturbed by it.
My post was for the benefit of MTs who have little or no knowledge regarding safeguarding their PCs and are not afraid to ask for help.
Therefore, if this does not apply to you, MYOB. NO need for argumentative posts, nor do I have the time for those who are habitally and perennially in that simple-minded mindset.
Have a great day all!
I don't let my kids dress like that! My son will wear
anything I buy him, usually athletic attire, like Nike or Addidas T-shirs and carpenter jeans that fit!
My daughter likes jeans and t-shirts (kinda tom-boyish). So, I am lucky in that regard.
If they were difficult, they would never be allowed out unless they dressed properly.
I have a fit if my daughters shorts are too short. You know, how they roll them at the waist and the shorts go up their butts - well, that is a no-no to me. I don't care where we are in public, I pull them down to a normal length. Other than that, their dress code is fine.
Teenage dress problems...
Okay, I hate to ask this, but I need some unbiased opinions. My almost 18-year-old high school senior has of late been dressing in a lot of black. It's not weird stuff at all, other than a couple of camisoles that I'm not wild about, and she always wears a jacket with those. The thing is, she's happy, outgoing, going to school without trouble, doing her homework, happy around the family, planning her future, doing her own laundry, keeping her room clean, everything you could ask for. She calls us when she's out and keeps us posted where she's at, and works very part-time at a drug store. Her hair isn't dyed, she's not wearing weird make up, and isn't doing the weird jewely like dog collars or any of that.
But it bugs me! When I ask her she just says that she doesn't want to dress like the typical Abercrombie crowd. She does have some tan pants and a colorful sweater she wears here and there, but she really does love the black primarily. I'm a worry wart type and am just worried this will escalate into the look I spoke of above. She swears she's not interested in tattoos, piercings, or any of the rest of it. Should I just back off and leave her alone? Is this uncommon or just typical teenage "testing of the waters." She's never rebelled in any way before.
Teenager dress problems
My oldest graduated last year and started dressing in black (mostly black t-shirts and jeans) in his junior year. This drove my DH absolutely crazy and still does! We never had any trouble with him in school either; good grades, part-time job, never ran with the wrong crowd, always called to keep in touch when he was out, etc., just like your daughter. We let it go. He never wanted any tattoos, collars or piercings (although he did buy a bracelet with the metal points once. He never wore this to school however.) The biggest problem we ever had was the kind of music he liked to listen to. We did forbid him to buy certain types and bands after we listened to them, but he didn't argue. He is now in college and is doing great. His grades are high and he still checks in a few times a week just to "talk."
If I were you, I would let the clothing thing go, as long as it doesn't change into anything concerning. Most teens need to express themselves somewhat and this really seems pretty innocent. My DH and I are really pretty conservative. We found that it is best to pick you battles. There are certainly a lot more horrific problems out there to be concerned about than dressing in black. Your job is to just keep an eye on things and if you see any drastic changes in her (grades, personality, friends, etc), that is the time to step in. She seems like a well rounded young lady with a good head on her shoulders. You seem to have done an excellent job in raising her. She will soon be a legal adult and you now have to start trusting her judgement. I think she will be just fine! Good luck!
Nicer option inside sm
Why make the cashier feel awkward for simply trying to be nice?
Mother's Day doesn't have to be about being a mom. It can also be about YOUR mom. Accept the cheer to have a nice day and HAVE a nice day!
My 5-year-old daughter in a dress-up outfit.
dress in black and ugly jewely
we did with 2 homes - SM
my only advice is to wait (if you can) until you can take advantage of 10% off or free padding plus 12 months same as cash deal (or if you open a new HD card for the 12 months free financing sometimes you get 10% off your first purchase). Hey, it adds up. Had both berber and plush installed 3 times by HD and they did a super terrific job - measuring, installation AND clean up. They did better than my mom's "professional" carpet business LOL for much, much less $$.
big homes do not mean
that a doctor makes a fortune. People who are wise with their money etc can have large homes too. Doctors do not make a killing doing what they do unless they have their practice plus teaching and research positions. They do make good money - but our problem is not them trying to bilk us out of ours. lets keep to the problem, due to what the doctors or hospitals considering off shoring our work for a bigger profit because of their expenses, we are losing out. Everyone wants to make money, many NEED to make money - does not matter whether you are a regular Joe, a hospital or a doctor - it is the way they have to go about it that sucks. Insurance, malpractice and otherwise, nonpayment of bills, equipment etc causes their complaints of not profiting on the work they do.
If the government would put a stop to the Pharma companies and research blockades etc, a little more normalization would occur. The only other thing is that they eventually will find that off shoring cost more when you add in the cost of editing and poor quality.
But then many big nationals off shore the work so the doctor do not see it.
Check out many of the web sites for all of them. you will find something on most on accepting applicants. And if you don't check out some overseas freelance sites, they advertise there. I will stick to the smaller ones and hope they do not go off shore as well.
I have vinyl but I think ceramic tile looks nicer.

Been there, done that. Faisal is one of the nicer hospitals in the kingdom,
I was out there from early 80s to 2000. You live by their rules, you will LOVE it...the experiences you acquire, the people you meet are like NOTHING you will experience in the states. Money is not as good as in the past, but opportunities for travel and exotic shopping still abound. Faisal is run better than some hospitals in the Kingdom. Believe me the ordinary Saudi is nothing like you hear on the news. They are just like the rest of us. Riyadh is no less safe then New York. I had to retire there, but if I was not retirement age, I would still be there in a heartbeat. Go, and enjoy yourself. If you could get on at Aramco in Dhahran, life would be even better for you as an expat.
Naw, not nicer. Moderate just quicker to delete

where do you live? Sounds like the dress code in Florida
Out of her dress today (instead of out of her dressing) but I caught it when proofing.

Does anyone know if Nursing Homes have MTs? Thanks.
Nursing Homes
I used to work for a clinic consisting of 6 doctors and they dictated their nursing home visits along the rest of their dictation once a week. Good luck:)
Mobile homes are many here in NC, and
they are not a good deal, IMO. Every tornado heads straight for them like they are magnetized, and they seem to burn down a lot. Now I had a townhouse that I lived in for 11 years, and I made quite a nice profit due to the fact they were attractive, had a bit of land and nice landscaping, and were in a good location. I think I paid $85,000, and sold it for $119,000 11 years later. Not bad for a townhouse.
My old country homes
In my home in Iowa, I have Hughes Net and seemed to do okay with it, although, as noted, lag times are a bit more than true broadband/high speed. At my SO's home in Missouri, it comes from some rinky-dink company called Midwest Data Center, although I'm sure they must get their feed from somewhere else. Again, for general surfing there is only a minimal lag time between page loads. However, when working via a VPN, I have had prolonged waits during anything that involves swapping data with the outlying mainframe. This would be cc's, demographics, and final saves on ExText and a couple other proprietary sites I've used. Being production oriented, if you get a lot of short 1-3 minute reports, the wait times really start to add up paycheck-wise. I'll also note that I've had very little trouble with audio files, although, again, a 25 minute report is going to take a bit longer to download than a DSL customer is used to. There have been a few VPNs over the years that I was not able to connect to at all and had to use my standby dialup; however, somehow they for the most part self-corrected in the last six months or so and now I can go pretty much anywhere I want to stick my little VPN. Hope this helps!
which makes it nicer. either way, not a fight site anymore. sm
as it should be. Should have been all along.
This is the only way my husband and I have sold our homes. sm
And it was very easy despite what naysayers may thik or say. My husband is very knowledgable with real estate law, so that helps us a great deal. He has all the forms you need on our computer, etc. He can communicate well with others, etc. He asks for earnest money and he does ask if they have already been pre-approved or if their house if for sale, etc.
Since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, I can go anytime and show any one of our homes for sale.
You can definitely do it yourself. Don't be afraid and don't let others intimidate you. My parents "lost" 30,000 in real estate fees in Alaska. Basically, they went to an agent who put their house up for sale. The agent never showed up to the open house, my mom had about 15 people come and look that afternoon and she had no idea what to do. One of the guys who attended was an officer in the military who wanted a contract signed THAT DAY. My parents state that the only good thing her real estate guy did was provide an office for the paperwork to be signed. There was a high demand in her neighborhood at the time (about 3 years ago).
Transcription For Funeral Homes
Hi
Does anyone know for sure what type of medical transcription funeral homes would use? I don't think they would be autopsies, but someone told me they utilize this service.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks....Kymee
I had the same problem. Our neighborhood is very close and there are a lot of homes.
I looked up the neighbor's phone number after I saw her name in tax records. I called her and told her I was a neighbor and that her dogs were disturbing the peace. I told her she may not realize it but some people were sick or had small children who were resting at various times of the time and she could not leave her dog barking all day long. I told her we were all talking about calling the police (which I had already done to establish the law and found out you cannot leave a barking dog in your yard in our neighborhood no matter what time it is according to the police) but I decided to phone her instead of bringing the police in at this point because she may not be aware of the dog's disturbing others. She said thank you for calling and the dog has been brought in when it barks to go in. Find out the guidelines from your local police department. A barking dog is disturbing the police no matter what time of the day it is.
I agree. I used to finance mobile homes.
However, they had to be on a permanent foundation with the wheels removed, and the interest rate was scary.
No way. I would run group homes for special needs folks and

Aladdin is a nice hotel, nicer than Excalibur but comparable costs.
And it's in the middle of the Strip, so if you plan to do walking you have the Bellagio, Paris, etc. close by.
The only person that bothered me at my wedding was the one who wore a white dress. Black is fine.
I actually hope these innocent pets get homes more than I care

The prices of homes are high, but the RE taxes are a bit lower.
Welcome to the East Coast! There is really nothing "cheap" on this side of the US.
Good luck - hope you have a smooth transition!
you know as couples go, angelina and billy bob were perfect skanks for each other. perfect!
i suspect they may get back together because they are both so skanky no one else can keep up. that is unless she decides she wants her brother more which is skankier.
I beg your pardon. I have elderly relatives in nursing homes who are constantly in and out of
hospitals. The elderly especially need our reports to be ACCURATE, as nobody gives a hoot to "talk" about them, let alone doctors getting to actually know and remember patients. EVERYTHING about their acute care in hospitals is taken FROM THE PAPER MEDICAL RECORD, and also when they get bumped back to the nursing home. The caretakers take ALL info from the transfer sheet. Reality check for those who need help most - elderly who cannot rattle off their histories themselves.
If there are MTs losing their homes and can't get presents for their kids, they aren't living
Sheesh!
Nursing homes/care facilities aren't all they are cracked up to be (sm)
I have a sibling who just lost their spouse. Every time the spouse was in the nursing home, they became ill to the point of needing hospitalization. Dehydration? They weren't giving the poor thing fluids!!! Kidneys shut down and then they died.
I think I'd rather die before being put into a nursing home and I think I will add that to my advanced directives living will.
If you say I am rich and beautiful...will I be?

get rich quick
i'm looking to make extra money without having to do much. I've researched online and am even thinking of buying that book from that question mark wacky guy "free money from govt." Some programs that I have saved are secret shoppers and some other things, like real estate investor. Can anyone recommend anything out there that is NOT a scam, where you can make thousands in a month, not spend any of your own money, and has anyone bought that crazy guy's book about getting free money?
GET RICH QUICK..
Thats just for the lucky people that come upon something by accident. lol. If your looking, it will never happen. If you ask most rich people how they got rich, they will say I worked real hard for it, or I just got lucky... I tryed looking in to a few of the get money things, but they all seemed to be SCAMS to me.. If you do find any though, let me now.
Yes, if he was rich and good-looking.
cars
What colors ....Any corvette is great but that stang is it
cars
I leased for 3 years and then bought a brand new one! Love the concept, that way I knew exactly what i wanted to buy!
rich men versus poor men
I would take a blue collar over a white collar any day. Blue collar men are more down to earth, can take care of things around the house, do not worry so much about their looks (thats my job), are way more attentive and treat a woman like a lady, all the while being rugged and in charge. White collar men are metro, cold, corporate, skirt chasers, insensitive, arrogant. Love over money all the time for me. Even if I sit and wait for it until I turn gray, I will never settle for less than that.
eat foods rich in zinc
Not having enough zinc can make smelling and tasting things like a festive holiday meal a real challenge. Here’s why: The cells in your tastebuds and nose that help you to smell depend on zinc. In fact, cells in the salivary glands make a zinc-dependent protein called gustin that is secreted into your saliva. An important contributor to your sense of taste, gustin helps develop cells that can distinguish among different flavors.
Although zinc deficiencies are pretty rare in the United States, it’s worth asking your doctor to test for a deficiency if you are experiencing taste and smell loss. Many things can lead to a deficiency, including poor eating habits, alcoholism, certain drugs, kidney disease, and the stress of surgery or serious burns.
"If I discover a zinc deficiency, I typically recommend 25 milligrams of zinc picolinate twice a day to start," says Dr. Silbert. Of course, you can also eat more of the foods that contain zinc. Your best bet is seafood such as cooked oysters and crab. Meats such as lean beef and lean pork also provide zinc, but they’re not really recommended because they are high in saturated fat. Other sources include eggs, whole grains, nuts, and yogurt. If you plan to take more than 20 milligrams of zinc a day, it’s best to do so under your doctor’s care.
