tissue paper snowball fight
kleenex, tissue, butcher paper and/or cotton balls.  then you can "build" a snowman with it - which coincidentally gets it all picked up:)
frosted jars with tissue paper and glue..
like we did in kindegarten class. You could use white tissue paper, watered down glue and a clear sealer. I can't say that I have tried this technique on plastic. Hope this helps.
Does anyone know of a way to make a tissue paper (or anything else cheap) wreath using handprints?

I am trying to come up with something cheap since I am the only one footing the craft bill for 25 kids!! I have all of their handprints and was thinking it would be a nice keepsake craft to have them make a wreath with them. I was going to use foam, but it is way to expensive to buy enough to make a wreath for 25 kids! I was thinking of using tissue paper and just cutting about a zillion handprints of each kid out and putting them together to form a wreath. Any ideas on how to make that work? A few years ago the class made the other kind of tissue paper wreath where you just wrap strips of tissue around the hanger and it turned out pretty nice. This would be nice too, since it would be with the kids' handprints. Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks everyone and Happy holidays!


Somebody give me a tissue
I am going to cry!

One of my mom's friends has a whole closet with nothing but toilet tissue in it.
It seems like there is ALWAYS a reason, it's just hard to figure. I'll do that sometimes, come home with a whole bag of something, open the cupboard and realize i already have it!
Here's an "etible" craft!
Make Hamburger cookies.  Kids of all ages like this.  You just need vanilla wafers, which will be the "hamburger buns" and then you use different colors of frostings/icing for the ingredients.  You can have brown for the "burger" and then yellow for "mustard", red for "ketchup", white for "onion," etc.  Make them as tall as you want with as many different colors as you want, and then the kids eat them up!
craft ideas
I used to teach preschool and one year we made wreath banners using large white paper and green paint. These have to be quite large.  Trace a circle in the center and then have the kids dip their hands in green paint and place them around the circle until it looks like a wreath.  After it is dry, they can use red paint and their hands to make a "bow" at the bottom.  Fringe the bottom with scissors and use a string to hang.  Another idea is to use small squares of green tissue paper and a cut out circle.  Using the eraser of a pencil "twist" the square and glue to the cut out until it is covered with green tissue twisties.  Decorate with red ribbon. 
there is a craft pen - permanent -
I have one in gold. it was used on glass x-mas ornaments we made and dated, and it was used to autograph a guitar (Alice Cooper) because of its permanent nature. Neither rubbed off.

Came in gold and silver, not sure what other colors. This might work.

Also, I agree below, clear fingernail polish on the next new one before using.

Soft tissue work with chiropractic care
Moving/manipulating the skeletal system without addressing muscle/tendons/ligaments is useless because the bones will misalign again if adhesions, etc. in muscles (from previous injuries, bad biomechanics, gravity's effects on our up-right postures,etc.) are not dealt with. I'm in my late 40's so I speak from experience. Muscles are often the culprits that pull bones out of proper alignment. Stretching muscles with adhesions is moot. Consider most of the time we are bending forward in our daily lives; psoas muscles get stronger but back muscles (S.I. ligaments) do not.
Soft-tissue work is essential. Chiropractic care alone doesn't complete the job, hence, need for repeated visits over months/years.
Hope this helps.
Me too, what is it? Craft or exercise? I enjoy

BFA in Jewelry/Metals, did craft shows here and there but did not make a living -sm
goal though for this Fall or soon that is, is to get my work done by noon, then spend 3 hours at least 2 x a week in my studio which I have not touched in about 6 years.....see if maybe I can get the ball rolling again with that via local shops, studios, etc. Used to have reps that sold my jewelry in Philly which was quite nice.
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

Does anyone have any good craft ideas for 5th graders to do during Christmas party? sm
I am usually in charge of my younger kids' classroom parties, but this year I am doing the 5th graders. I need a good craft for them to do during their party. Something easy and fun....but you know...not too baby-ish. Any help is appreciated!!!
I use a craft glove with an extra long wrist band
purchased at wal-mart and they help ALOT.
Put it on paper

I was drowning in debt a couple of years ago.  I finally bought a book by Dave Ramsey about getting out of debt and I must say, this man is a genius!  He also does a radio program daily where he takes calls and gives advice.  I now do a budget on paper where EVERY penny is accounted for.  It is amazing how much of a difference this has made in my life.  No, I don't reuse foil or sandwich bags ... LOL!  I have paid off my credit card debt and installment debt.  At this point, I'm working on the mortgage. I highly recommend the plan Dave Ramsey pushes for "financial peace" as he refers to it.


I have seen ads in the paper where...
Radiology MTs are paid that per hour. Maybe some of the others are too. I applied at a temp agency to work as an MT and asked for a minimum of $12/hr. I didn't get the job. I was not tested or anything, so I felt maybe they didn't want to pay me the $12/hr.

If you get on with the hospital, not sure if you will eventually be sent home or not, but most hospitals where I live send the MTs home to work. So, maybe try at a hospital near you? However, even though they pay hourly, they have a line count they want you to maintain. I think when they pay hourly, they really stick to the line count minimum to make sure they aren't paying you to do nothing. The minimum line count depends on the hospital.

good luck.
It also says on my paper...
…You may decide to continue working beyond your full retirement age without choosing to receive benefits. If so your benefits will be increased by a certain % between your full retirement age AND age 70. If I did not draw before age 70, I would have an 8% increase in the amount I would get at age 66- whatever that would be, don’t do math.
maybe you put too much paper into it, so that
the printer cannot 'grasp' it, or you put the paper too far away.
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.

FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??


Does anyone else get overwhelmed with all the paper
that's constantly thrown at them?  I just spent an hour and a half cleaning off my desk.  It was covered with mail, books, bills, school papers for all the kids, papers I have to fill out for DH and our oldest, papers to be shredded, stuff I have to do for other people, account specs.  This was all just from the past week.  I always thought I was a pretty organized person, but this place is a mess.....
What about scrapbook paper?
I know Joann has a big scrapbook paper notebook.   It would look cute with a lot of different design/similar color paper hands.  We actually did this with a turkey projected and covered the turkey with fall paper.  I don't know what your budget is but the notebook is about $10 and you'd probably have a lot left over for other stuff.
I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must

paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.


Sticky paper

Like I said below I buy my sticky paper through a place that prints up forms.  You will need to do some calling to see.  It is a little expensive but I provide that in my price.  Just do not buy the boxed stuff from Viking or Office Depot or Office Max as they do not not have the perforations on the sides so that when they peel the note it is smaller than the paper and fits on a piece of paper.   E-mail me if you have any questions.   But if you are in the Seattle area, there are a lot of paper places up there.  If you are doing overflow then the main MT should be able to tell you where to get the paper.  Also they might provide it as some accounts do.  Everyone is different.  But CONGRATS -- the first step is the hardest.  Knew you could do it.  Be sure to ask for lots of examples when you start.  Keep me informed.  Any questions you can e-mail me.   Patti  typing without glasses hope don't have many typos.



You can get Sticky paper
You can get sticky paper from Medical Arts Press, get the quick peel that has perforations on the side so it fits on your regular sized paper. It is expensive though, I used to buy the large box, approx $90.00, so if you can get your client to supply it, that would be great. I always had to supply my own.
Sticky Paper
Does any one have any suggestions on a type of paper that can be printed on and then stuck into a patient's chart?  I would like to find a lable type to fit in a certain space.  Brand names would be helpful.  Thank you in advance
Sticky paper

I use an 8 1/2 x 11 label size paper that has about 1/8" inch that peels back on each side so that it is smaller than the paper you place it on.  The clinics use it to put the chart notes in the charts.  I get it at a form place that makes it.  Avery makes 8 1/2 x 11 labels but you have to cut down the sides before you peel back the sheet to place it on the paper and it doesn't have great peel backs either.  Call local form places and sometimes they will have perforations 1" or so but I don't like that as you waste a lot when you have to begin another chart note and you have to be sure it is below one of the perforations.   Have been using this for 15 years now.  Did go with some national companies but the shipping got to be too much.  Again, call local paper and form places in your area and see if theymake it.  E-mail me wiht specific questions.

Sticky Paper

Hi, I have always used plain computer paper for my reports but have a new doctor who prefers me to use the "sticky" paper.  I was wondering if I should charge for the paper, since it is an added cost, and also if anyone knows where to purchase this paper.  Thanks.


sticky paper
I have a great supplier Forms & Filing Systems 800-472-0171.  Costs about $120 for 1000 sheets.  I pass this cost on to my docs. 
sticky paper
I'm not sure about the colors.  But it is laser quality.  It comes in different label sizes.  I use a full sheet lable. 
Sticky paper
I get mine from a local form company and it comes with 1/4" inch strips on the sides so that when they peel it off to put into the chart the note is smaller than the paper and fits better.  I pay $28 per 300 sheets. 
Paper version
I don't like having all that "stuck" on one PC just in case they crash. Good luck!
the paper shuffles and
the conversatons chatting to the nurse or, to me even worse, the minutes of absolute DEAD time when there is NOTHING! Although actually it all adds up to the same thing. Wasted time and mney for the MT.
Yes, but TELL him you need paper. Employer

Paper Trail
True True.  I have the papertrail and the pay receipts and trail of if it was cashed that go together.  Each earning invoice for ICs have pay stub and proof stapled together. 
gas, time away from PC, ink, paper

I think 15 is good.  When you are away from your desk and delivering, you are essentially not generating income, so.  Plus don't forget the INK, it is costly.  Better include a notation of extra costs for:


Hunt up reports and reprints (that can really be abused)


If they want a faxed copy stat


if they cannot locate a report and you need to research (TIME) and reprint & INK & PAPER and deliver.  No this is not piddly things, it is time, lost income, cost of supplies.  


 Just like if a patient came back and ask for a quicky relook, they forgot something, after they just left, this is reset up of exam room, find the chart, chart notation, staff time, physician time and they want it for the same price.  See what I mean.


If they want a stat report (you are stopping what you are working on to do their STAT report.  Indicate the quicker Turn Around Time charges in writing so they don't forget .....(other than the agreed to time)


 


sounds good on paper.
but absolutely makes no sense in applying it in the real world.
Oh, I do exactly the same as you, but I hate all the wasted paper. nm

Yep, it all sounds so good on paper

either way I look at it, the problem is, there is nothing to rent here. If my #1 lender falls through and I have to go with #2, it may be possible the seller MAY let me rent for a year, maybe even rent to own. If lender #1 fails, I will be asking. All they can say is no. Originally seller purchased home to rent it and changed their mind, it has been for sale for 2 years, sold twice but financing fell through for other parties.


I'm am going to try for 50/50 with the father of the children as I will need him nights, and he will need me days so we don't have to pay daycare. I will be covering insurance for the kids so yes I will need him to pay some extra to me.


Paper mache lanterns...
On this morning's second episode of the the Carol Duvall show on HGTV they had some cute stuff including some paper mache lanterns that would be inexpensive and simple to make. I always prefer homemade stuff, 'cause kids learn how to make things rather than buying everything at the store.

why need see if you can make a header on your paper sm
to put their preprinted info on there rather than having to worry about a new printer, different type papers, etc. this sounds like it would solve all if agreed upon and aren't that hard to set up in word. then you could have that set in your template when you pull open your work.
What is a 1013 paper in psychiatry? Thanks! nm

I only use paper towels so I can pitch them.
 
I forgot about those pieces of paper sm
but we used those in high-school and when I got my first job as a senior in HS, we used those. I worked high school "office co-op", we got credit and worked tooa ND I worked in the personnel department of a hospital. I remember the pink and yellow also.
Is that why their Bounty paper towels
than in the grocery store?  Because they are trying to save me money.  HA HA HA!  I don't THINK so!  They used to sell Bounty for $1.38 a roll.  Now they are charging almost $2.00 a roll.  The grocery store price went up too, but not as much as Walmart!  Puhleeze! 
But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .

because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.


Red Kool Aid.


Absolutely. Maybe a paper needs to be written for (sm)
JAMA & other MD publications. Most of them are in the dark about who often does their dictation (India), and what that's doing to higher-quality US MTs. If we all get forced out of this business by below-minimum-wage pay, there will be no turning back, and ALL their clinical documents will be done offshore. Their malpractice insurance premiums would have to go considerably higher to cover all the botched diagnoses & care that could result from that.
I detest that sticky paper.
IF you want to do it, raise your rate, charge them an extra fee to do so. If you don't, tell her that is not part of the service that you provide.
Do you think Dr. buys paper for office or do

I can't wait! I made a little paper chain...lol. :o) NM
