this maybe a short thread!.
some smells are frowned upon.. which secretly do you like?.
Yeah, I'm with avishai, I like the smell of gasoline too. Yes, and skunk, if it's faint. Also, raw garlic on someone's breath and cigar smoke in the house – but only if they're fresh.
I know exactly what these smells have in common, too: they all resemble – slightly – the salty funk of leather.

i'm trying to learn it on my own billing mostly medicare and medi-cal.
i don't know where to start.
i'm trying to learn on my own w/out taking classes.
So your fiancé is a doctor? Cool beans; he should know – so if he says you don't need formal training, he's probably right – especially if he's had self-taught billers before and been satisfied with their service.
But you think you need a little more education? You know yourself better than anyone else can –so you're probably right. Looks like you have the situation well in hand. I wish you all sixteen different kinds of good luck :)

I'm not a biller or coder, but I do work in a nice big hospital. If you work in such a place, it's likely that they would pay you to take courses in billing or coding, because it would make you more valuable to them. Ask your supervisor, or the human resources, or see if there's a Benefits Department.

if you're here, it's likely you were once fooled by what the jws believe.. back then, i expect you thought you were smart.
you thought you could tell if you were being lied to.
yet, they got past your mental defenses and sucked you in.. knowing this, how can you be sure your current religious beliefs are true?.
Yeah, but now I won't be penalized when I have to adjust my beliefs to new information. Being a worldling sucks far less than being a jaydub or other cultist, for that reason alone.

1. a "shower" as in "baby shower" or "wedding shower" was when a bunch of people got together to take a shower together.
which didn't go over well with me when my mom wanted to go to a shower without my dad.. 2. when my father said to my mom that he was going to marry somebody, as in do there vows or something, i thought he was going to marry somebody else and start another family.
i almost fainted when he told me that he was leaving to go do that.
cognac,
5. I used to talk to satan at night and beg him to say sorry to Jehovah so that they could be friends again and this whole argument could be over with.
Awww. Now that's just cute.
You're a universalist now, right?

i've had something happen to me at work and i just need some opinions .... i work at a store where i am the only female employee.
we were short handed these past two weeks because someone quit and the new guy doesn't start until monday so they got a guy from another store to come fill in.
i hardly know this guy except for him talking to me about business related things.
frankiespeakin,
It's the little boy in me that likes to use obnoxious terms,
Do you bring him to work?

one upon a time , joe witness stumbled onto an "apostate" internet site - and his curiosity got the better of him.
he couldn't stop .
reading and went thru a wrenchingly painful weekend in which his deeply held beliefs were shattered.
We're all familiar with the concept of doublethink, more or less --
"'Doublethink' means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed.”
What most discussions of doublethink fail to consider is that it is DAMN HARD WORK, and may even take a certain minimum level of intelligence.
I think some fun-damn-mentalists* simply have more mental stamina than others. They stay in longer.
*of which JWs are but a subset.

Eighteen, and the only jaydub in my family! I was engaged to be married to the first person who had witnessed to me . Six months before the wedding date, my dad told me that if I wanted to attend the convention that summer, let alone get baptized, I'd have to leave home.
So I did. Stayed with my Bible propaganda teacher the week of the assembly and moved my wedding date up to that weekend. Moved my stuff into my new husband's apartment that Friday, got baptized that Saturday morning, married that Sunday night after the last session.
We're still together 33 years later.
We left the Spoof a dozen years ago.

chicken.
it's just starting to taste so chickeny, everything tastes like chicken now.
even catfish tastes like chicken, scrambled eggs taste like chicken, sliced turkey tastes like chicken.
changeling said:
Mmmmm...Popeye's. We don't have one here.They have the best red beans and rice and the most awesome onion rings!
I like their little okra poppers, too. But the chicken itself ain't all that -- too greasy.
Anyhow, Pioneer Spit ...
Head on over to Netflix, check out Invader Zim, and watch the episode "Gaz, Taster of Pork."
You're welcome
