when I got a divorce -- see message

Posted By: Patti on 2007-12-11
In Reply to: How to price an MT company for sale? - sm

Whe I got a divorce my husband tried to make me put a price on my small business and there basically was no value as most of my clients would probably not go with a new owner.  Most of the value was in my computer, printer, etc. which after a year is worth nil.  It is mainly an income and not much else as you cannot quarantee that when you sell that your clients will go with the new business.  Sometimes it can be valued at a one month income.   There are real estate agents that sell businesses and she can check with them to see what they say.   I worked for a small MTSO that sold and what they did was to not tell any of the clients that it was being sold, ran under the same name with some of the same people there and it went okay but that is touchy.  You are selling more the name of the business than anything else.   Again, she needs to contact a real estate agent that specializes in selling businesses.   She is selling her client list and name mainly and hoping that they all go with the new owners which is a gamble and not one I would take.    Good luck.

Me too. Been there, done that, got the divorce.

For those of you who have gone through a divorce...sm

My husband and I have decided to go our separate ways after only 2-1/2 years of marriage.  I have no idea where to start and what to do because we bought a house together, bought a new car together, have credit cards together, etc.  This is a mutual decision for both of us to end our marriage so it's not like it is a bitter divorce or anything.  We would like to NOT involve attorneys but how do we separate all of our stuff?


Thanks


You have a point there. I wonder if it's the divorce?
It's like Tom Cruise not aging well also.  And have you seen Robert Redford?  OMG.  His face is ravaged with time and his neck..... terrible.  But you get Paul Newman he he does look better as he ages.  Guess it's in the genes? 
Not due to divorce, but our family went their
separate ways after both of our parents died.  Strange, because I always thought we were close before that, but it could have been wishful thinking.
He was my divorce attorney
.
My attorny put in my divorce that I have to take him
to court to enforce any part of the divorce agreement, he has to pay fees for both of us.  To the best of my understanding, it's very difficult to have something changed once it's been a legal and binding contract in a divorce.  The judges normally stick to what the original agreement was.  Good luck. 
Well, if it's due to divorce, you DEFINITELY want an actual

real estate agent.  You are thinking of the money you think you could save, but what it will end up turning into is a bigger mess.  If you sign a 60 or 90 day contract with a for sale by owner agent (i.e. Help-U-Sell, Assist2Sell, BuyOwner) and all they do is plunk a sign in your yard and give you a lock box then you're not getting much.  They don't do a lot of advertising other than on their own website and they might print a few flyers for you. 


With the market soft right now, unless you price the house really low just to get rid of it, expect it to sit for 90 to 120 days.


She hasn't filed for a divorce yet -

Because the state she lives in does not recognize legal separation, she had an agreement drawn up by her corporate atty.  This agreement handed the house (quick claim deed) and business over to her, while her "future ex" draws his pension and moved to warmer weather (California).  This all happened when things were friendly. Now she wants a divorce so she can get on with her life (with her new beau she is buying the house with).  BAD idea since she has not filed for a divorce.  Anyway, thanks everyone.  I think I'll be visiting her in jail.    


I guess I was wondering how a divorce could have been
the agreement or been before the judge with your lawyer to dispute something in the agreement. People with nothing to dispute rarely have to appear, as they have already signed the documents that the lawyer presents to the judge. I don't know if you signed your portion of the agreement without having read it to ensure your wishes were followed...hope you find some resolution.
And they say divorce is less traumatic on adult children....
Unfortunately, this is NOT the case. Adult children whose parents divorce quite often end up just as you have described. They are old enough to form their own opinions which are quite often colored by their life experiences and how they relate to each parent as an adult with adult biases and opinions. Divorce, regardless of the age of the children, always affects the children and people who are "waiting until the kids are grown" are only deluding themselves.


Each state has different divorce and family laws; however, sm
ex-hubby is not entitled to anything after the date the divorce was filed. So, if she filed for divorce on January 1 and hit the lottery on January 2, he gets nothing!

At least that is how it is in PA. Don't know about other states.
This is not illegal in most states. Sometimes it's in the divorce agreement.

Divorce will be final in 2 wks, can I stay on my ex's health insurance?

My ex is willing to leave me on his health insurance.  Is it legal to do this?  Will we get ourselves in trouble if he doesn't take me off? 


How true, mine is trained quite well....before we married he asked if I would ever divorce him -
abused me in any way. So far so good after 9 years. He admits to cheating on his first wife a couple of times though as she did not like having sex (not the reason of their divorce and long before I met him which was 2 years after his divorce). He is germaphobic so it's amazing he ever cheated in the first place....but I think he was actually trying to get her to divorce him (subconsciously)....took 12 years for it to work though. Luckily they had no kids. She did not want kids either, at least not then. She has since remarried too (a month after he did) and her 2 sons are very close in age to my 2 girls. Weird. Men can be such weenies though. Now to just train him to throw out his used paper towels instead of leaving them all over the kitchen counter (my dad does the same thing too). Oh well.
I'd hire an attorney and do a quickie divorce. They're cheap and well worth it.
If it's uncontested the attorney can help you amicably sort through what needs to be split and do it fairly and according to the laws of your state. This will avoid potential problems later.
After divorce, child chronic illness, involuntary job change, parents illnesses and death, was force
I frequently regret it, the changes it has made to my life, but when life hands you horror, at least there is this "final solution" to your financial situation. I must admit, I sleep better, and I can finally hold my head up, and I no longer feel hopeless. Find the attorney you can work with,get your free consultation and DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO. If you have doubts, see a 2nd and a 3rd attorney, till you're comfortable with the person you choose.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line.  It makes it easier when reading these messages.  thanks so much and have a nice day everyone. 
small message. nm means no message
see?
Flame=200 views, sm=see message, nm=no message

sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.

sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
nm
or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.

it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.




sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.

You NAILED it on the head. The rest of these women just don't get it. Good post.

You messed it up yourself.  Why are you blaming the recruiter?  Your test was not good.  You prematurely sent in a resignation.  Do you actually think it was someone else's fault?

Boy!!!!  I'm glad I woke everyone up today; bet you feel more energized, don't you??? I am not making light of this horrible tragedy.  I would have been devastated if it had been my son.  There is a saying out there, "chance prefers the prepared mind"; in other words, at least think ahead and try to prepare; of course no one can be right about everything all the time.  I have just seen and read about so many instances where the parents or "caretakers" of a child were negligent that resulted in irreparable harm to the child or children.  I still cannot blame that driver without further info as to exactly how that happened.  If I were driving that car and did not see that 2 year old and ran over him, I would actually be a victim as well because that is something I could never, ever forget!!

See where the X to close out the Word window is?  Right next to the ruler bar for the margin there should be an up arrow (for scrolling).  Right above that is a little line.  Put your cursor on the line and move it up to the top. 
So.....see message please
You asked. I'm answering.

It's not worth it. Run away as fast as you can and find another profession.

My 15yo got this.  Tried all OTC products.  Nothing worked.  She has very, very thick hair!  Enough for 3-4 people. It is also below her mid back.  We used Crisco oil and Joy dishwashing liquids.  She slept with the Crisco oil on her head overnight (roughly 10 hours) and then we washed it out with Joy (OMG at the amount of nasty lil bugs in the tub!).  Waited 10 days and did it again (mainly just for her to feel better).  She has never had them again.

Many, many dance studios offer adult classes in levels from beginner to professional. I've taken tons of them. I will be signing up again as soon as we can afford it! Where are you located?


 


Hope this helps!

I know that years ago Dictaphone had a hand-controlled pedal which I had used.  You might want to contact the Dictaphone Company and find out if this option is still available. 


As far as I know, you cannot hook a C-phone pedal to your computer.  However, I may be wrong about that; although I would think if it could be done it would be quite complicated. 


Another option you might want to think about is to re-record your dictations to your computer and play them back as .wav files.  This can be done through the sound recorder with a connection that you can buy at Radio Shack for about $20.  I have done this in the past and though the sound quality was not the best, I could still hear and understand the dictations.

So, are there 15 openings because MTs have left?  If so, that seems like a lot for just one hospital.

The spellchecker is Dorlands.  It came with the hardback Dorland's Dictionary.  The spellchecker came on a CD which you have to load into your computer.  You also a password to get access to Dorlands.com for research, etc.   I bought mine from Amazon, but I think 49.95 is the going price about anywhere.

my, but you are a vindictive person aren't you.  Like I said, if you don't mind a background check, go for it. 


If you hire a painter/plumber/handyman and do a background check, you will have to do the work yourself.


I'm out of here.

My son, now 15, had major problems with reflux when he was baby that wasn't "corrected" until he got really sick.  He would vomit what appeared to be every ounce of formula he took in.  The doctors told me to put rice cereal in his formula and then put him on his stomach on a bed pillow so that the formula would stay down.


Yeah, right.  Just ended up washing more blankets and bed pillows.  It wasn't until he was 5 months old that someone finally did something.  Poor guy had pneumonia.  We took him to the ER and he spent 4 days in the hospital.  The diagnosis was pneumonia from aspiration.  He was vomiting so hard that he was sucking the formula down into his lungs.


While at the hospital, he had a barium swallow ultrasound that showed that the opening into his stomach (sorry brain cramp for the med term) did not close after eating.  They put him on Reglan (metoclopramide). I was told that this medication relaxes the spasms in the stomach opening so that it will close properly.  I was told that most children will grow out of it before they are 3 and that some will have it longer or may require surgery.  My son was on this medication until he was 5 or 6.


My son still gets occasional heartburn at 15, but it's very rare. It's usually when he eats something like a whole pepperoni pizza, which is to be expected.


Sorry I took so long, but my advice to you, if you haven't already done so, is to talk to your pediatrician about a gastro consult or ask your pediatrician to order a barium swallow, etc., etc.  The medication your child is on only quiets the symptoms and obviously isn't curing the real problem.


As sick as your child is, there is something wrong with this picture.


Good luck!

I was more worried about the damage to my self rather than the computer.  I live in the Ozarks (Missouri).  I woke up yesterday with no power.  Thankfully everything is still up and running, but living in MO, a surge protector is a great idea.  Thanks everyone!!!

Check 'em out! I'm working on mine too for the same reasons you are.

There are better careers out there than one that:

1. Keeps you so isolated from the world that your only friends are cyber ones.

2. You have no way of budgeting because your pay is never the same twice, and not enough to live on in the first place.

3. You get no respect from employers or anyone else for that matter. "Oh, do you still have that little typing job of yours?"

I'm with you, sistah! This job is crap and I'm so outta here.

Best of luck!

1. They are transferring people on the account over to another system and you are not on that system yet, or, for that matter, the hospital accounts are being put on another system and it takes time to accomplish this.
2. The account you are on is in NY or some place and you live in LA or Chicago or Seattle. They do not wish to use long distance anymore. They are going over to another system.

This is just speculation on my part, but have been in your shoes with another company. They do not care about you. They may bitch and moan about not having any "qualified" MTs, but they could give a poop.

I am truly sorry for what you are going through.
Sorry, will do (no message)

I did some searches on what you told me to check --RTKING, JAY VANCE, STOP STOP TRANSCRIPTION and could not find anything except for Vance to set up security, any additional info so I could find these sites.   Also do you  ise one of the Internet based call in systems where you pay by the minute of dictation -- do you p ass that onto the docs?    Just curious how that works.

It is


The patient's last clinical breast examination


I type tplc and the sentence comes into advisory to top line.  I hit [ which should expand it but after only three words, "the patient's last," it fizzles.  Sometimes it throws out mumbo jumbo, sometimes two words, never the full sentence.


 


THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.  What is it I am doing or not doing!!!!


ahem...thank you
