I have gotten rejected in less time than it took to get an interview with some of the other places I applied. Just TODAY, since lunch even, I have heard back from the job where I interviewed for the second time two weeks ago. Still no job but apparently they aren't in a hurry to fill it. Fine with me. I'm patient. I think in the field where I'm looking--administrative and accounting--there are plenty of applicants so nobody is in a hurry to hire. In fact, some of them I wasn't really sure they WERE hiring or just testing the water. No truer words were ever spoken.

There are various levels of membership. Non-paying members Paying members (I think this level is pink) who paid a smaller amount for their membership, have a smaller PM box and fewer "privileges"/ Paying member, level orange, who paid a higher amount for their membership but get more perks. Paying member, level black, who get lots of perks, a larger PM, the ability to edit their posts for a longer period of time, etc, Then there are several levels of commerce members. The standard commerce member is probably the highest level of business membership available. FYI, I

It really irritates me to hear my husband talk about how easy it is to find jobs. Yes, maybe back in '05 and '06 but not today. Unless you are in a select few industries and have some sort of connection. My husband still says that he could go out today and have a job by tomorrow. I keep telling him, he wouldn't even have the resume read by tomorrow, much less a job. Nobody seems to want to let you drop by to put in an application anymore. One job I applied for it took SIX weeks for them to contact me about an interview. Another, it took two weeks for the first interview and another

Don't care for Tybee. Don't care for Savannah. Don't care for the mountains. LOVE the Florida Panhandle and Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Like Dauphin Island pretty well. Wouldn't pay a dime to go back to the Louisiana and Texas gulf beaches. Would give almost anything to go back to Oregon, to Seaside and to Maine, particularly Bangor but would like to go to Bar Harbor again, too.

I can understand how even the news media might get the impression if it is said that her CHOSEN method of pain control is meditation. Many people connect meditation with religion. I'm glad she's getting the pain meds now. It has to be painful beyond belief. Pain is very physically and emotionally stressful. She needs to save her energy for healing.

So glad to hear it's not just me who felt that way about Tybee. I thought maybe because I was navigating on an unhealed fractured foot awaiting surgery that it seemed pointless.

I work with small, mom and pop businesses. I have done so since 1995. The small business world is vastly different than it was even five years ago. Business owners are scared they won't be able to afford to stay in business. I KNOW that feeling! I'm fortunate in that I don't have employees or overhead of any kind. Anyway, yes, jobs are out there. I can't tell you how many I have seen, and in some cases applied for, that paid $8-$10 an hour. Jobs that a few years ago paid $12-$14 an hour WITH overtime and benefits. Now you're doing good to get $8 with nothing else. It seems as though

If we're talking FIRST job, mine was doing ironing. I got paid 10 cents an item. I burned my stomach really bad with the iron one time and stopped ironing in a tube top after that.

I agree 100% with you on that. It's just that she isn't in a coma with no hope of survival and IS AWARE of what is going on and making decisions about her own care. In that situation, her family can't pull the plug on her. I expect in spite of her suffering, she will SURVIVE and live as well.

She's not in a coma with no hope of survival.

That's one of the BETTER side effects of morphine. I didn't think it was for religious reasons either. All pain meds change your personality, some more than others, and maybe she didn't like the change and knew it was happening. She is a tough young woman. I admire her.

Send a PM to Pubby. You can pay through Paypal also. Costs nothing to set up an account with them and then you can use your credit card or debit card to pay through them. But Pcom is not set up to accept credit or debit cards. They accept cash, checks and Paypal. Yes, members can post pictures they take. There will be a button SOMEWHERE when you go to post and it will say "upload photo". Follow the instructions. If you have problems, let Pubby or one of the mods know. The mods can be found on the Pcom index page, near the bottom where it says "moderating team". Welcome!!

My daughter graduated in 1999 from McEachern. She knew most of the football players, so she probably knew Trey. Yes, I've met Britaini. I'm so excited that she has the bookstore. I know she will do great with it! At such a young age, too.

Out of curiosity and not to get into a deep discussion about religion, but why would you think her refusing the pain medication is for religious reasons? Hubby and I rarely take pain medications and that is not based on religious preference. Nor is it based on having no desire to get addicted to them. It's based on our belief that we can endure almost anything as well by having our full faculties with which to work and not having them dulled by pain medications. She may very well have felt that she had no life or could not get on with her life as it is now as long as she was taking pain me

YAY!! It's public now. :yahoo:

Did you happen to see our mutual friends? There for a brief moment I thought you might be the mom of one of my daughter's friends from high school but then I realized the last name is different. Though I did know a young man whose last name was the same as yours when I was in high school. And oddly enough, he lives somewhere around Powder Springs because I see him once or twice a year at the grocery store. Based on what I know about your husband, it is a possibility that I know him.

Others with disagree with my assessment but that is the worst kind--LIVE. I hate snakes, only good snake is a dead snake. Same goes for spiders. Only good spider is a dead spider. I hate snakes. Snakes are evil. Oh, did I mention I HATE SNAKES? I've actually considering moving to Ireland.

Oh man, I LOVED Putt-Putt. I spent a lot of time on that course. My dad and I generally played 3 rounds every single day. I got good enough at it that I was asked to go pro. My parents wouldn't let me because I was still in high school and neither of them could take time to travel with me and they wouldn't let me travel with anyone else.

My parents wouldn't let me work until I graduated from high school, so I didn't start working until the Saturday before I graduated on Monday. I covered my mom's shift so she could go to my sisters college graduation. About two weeks later, I took the morning shift permanently. I worked there until they closed when my mom and I went to visit my brother late summer 1974. They closed for that two week period and never opened back up. My mom took a job at Windy Hill Hospital (then called Urban Medical) for about a month and never again worked.

I made minimum wage, $1.50 an hour, at the Health Pantry. Most weeks my total take home pay was around $25. When I got my first job in a doctor's office in 1976, I was making $450 a month. Like you I in high cotton!! BTW, one of my sisters in law used to work at Southern Bell. She was an operator at the Mableton office.

You missed the point. You're wanting banks to have INTEGRITY and to take a hit because the home buyer's purchase lost value but you're not wanting the home buyer to honor their agreement. Where is the integrity in reneging on a contract? You certainly wouldn't want the bank to come back a few years later and say "hey you owe us more money because your house is worth more than you agreed to pay for it". Who would? Can't have it both ways. You can't hold GEORGIA accountable for their collective integrity without holding the individuals accountable as well. I don't have to be tol

I'm getting tickled at how many of you had your first jobs in the 1980s. Mine was in 1973.

Our paths crossed yet again! We ate there quite a bit in their early years. Attended a fund raiser for Buddy Darden there.

Guess what, TP, INTEGRITY also means honoring YOUR obligations especially your legal, contractual obligations such as mortgage, car payment, various types of loans. It doesn't mean wanting to pay less because what you bought is worth less than when you agreed to the terms. And unless I am mistaken, a homeowner would NEVER under any circumstance have to pay more to the bank than the terms of the mortgage states, i.e., the difference between what the home brought upon foreclosure and the mortgage amount. In fact, I've been researching a particular house in Florida (which has more "integrity"

The Health Pantry in Smyrna. Small independently owned health food store. I worked 9:30 to 1, my mom worked 1 to 6. Six days a week.
