handsomeitaliano @handsomeitaliano (1050) • United States 1 Jul 09

I live in NYC by the way. I got my EMT certification in May 2008, I've been working for a private EMS company for a year now, I currently make $11.50/hour but i'm "supposed" to get a bump in raise in a couple weeks, have to be...

cbantly Just be thankful you don't live in SC. I make minimum wage as an EMT, but we actually work 24 hour shifts so we have 8 hours of overtime one week and 32 hours of overtime the next week. You could probably make more money going back to get your paramedic, as...

mylot improvements - limit the number of discussions

khayshenz @khayshenz (1384) • United States 2 Jul 09

Do you think mylot would be better if they limit the number of discussion that members can start to 5 per day? Why or why not? I think mylot would be a better place if the numbers of discussions that are allowed per member is...

cbantly I wouldn't think that a limit to the discussions posted would be necessary. Rather, a limit on the minimum number of words may be more effective for your purposes. Maybe discussions with no responses should be deleted by the system after 48 hours or something...

cbantly As a former investment banker, I will give you a little bit of advice. There are two types of money market accounts, but the type that applies here is basically a savings account. Your money is safe, and there is no investment risk. HOWEVER, that being...

SC Governor Wife May Forgive Affair

LeavaoDe @LeavaoDe (349) • United States 2 Jul 09

Hi. Ok first let me say that forgiveness is divine and helps in the healing process but I am a little confused I guess. He has a affair, says he won't when he gets caught by wife and continues to do so. I understand his wife...

cbantly It's not like this is the first time she has had to deal with his infidelity, and that is what really bothers me about her response right now. He has repeatedly shown that he is not loyal to his wife and family, so why "forgive" him now? OR is the forgiveness...

cbantly I think that most people who make excuses (the dumb ones anyway) for their children probably do it out of their own embarassment. Imagine how he must feel as a father to know that he raised such a potty mouth. In other cases as well, you can see that the...

Ruth Madoff's 2.5 Million

browneyedgirl @browneyedgirl (1264) • United States 29 Jun 09

Does anyone else think this is ridiculous? I think that's way, way, way, way, WAY too much for this woman be left with!! Who needs 2.5 million dollars to survive? I think she should have to turn every bit of that over except...

2 responses

cbantly She was not involved with the scams, and even the prosecutors stated that she should not be penalized. 2.5 Million dollars is really not that much, especially considering the fact that she will need to live on it for the rest of her life. Most people think she...

handsomeitaliano @handsomeitaliano (1050) • United States 29 Jun 09

So I'm trying to find a way to make at LEAST half of what I earn from my weekly paycheck at work. I make $380 a week at my job. I figure if I can get at least $200 from online a week then I won't have to continue looking for a...

cbantly I too am an EMT, and I work 24 hour shifts. I drive to a neighboring county because it is a much slower system. With such a low call volume, I actually have time to work on online ventures while on duty. As I write this now, I am at Medic 5! I also write...

cbantly Younger children seem to make friends easier, so even though she already has two best friends there...I'm sure she'll make lots more. It makes it so much easier to leave your child at daycare if you know that they are going to enjoy themselves!

What is your opinion on the press conference with Mark Sanford Today ?

Wvgal_5165 @Wvgal_5165 (121) • United States 24 Jun 09

cbantly I think his behavior was despicable, but he was not traveling on the public dime. That was an argument that has been put to rest here in SC. What blows me completely away is that his wife and children knew about the affair! They knew the old friend turned...

cbantly Neither one is correct and here's why. February only has 28 days and some other months have 30 or 31. The correct way to fairly compensate an employee on a daily basis, is as follows. They offered you 1,000 a month. Thus, they offered you 12,000 a year....
