Fluoroscopically target starting at level I - Arabic of Roman? - Anne


Posted: Jun 26, 2015

Also this is treatment for renal calculus, I guess lithotriptsy, but in the name of the procedure he mumbles something starting in what S/L "He______".  Any ideas. 

Thank you!

Feb 09, 2014

They might scan places that post resumes.  Perhaps there have always been this many scams but with more MTs out of work more are catching them and reporting it.  They can also sell your personal information to other scammers so beware.  I have tried to get law enforcement to sting some of these and offered to be their bait, but none even get back to me.  Then I send them all my personal info (fake), bank account, SS#, etc. with a nice letter asking if they can get back to me ...


Grocerystores, Walmart, Target
May 26, 2014

wondering if anyone has any idea what the starting pay is for these places, does it vary by state or do they have  pay system that starts everyone at about the same.  I have been doing this for 40 years.  I wanted to work a few more years before retiring.  The company I work for recently cannot meet payroll,they are either late or pay in installments. This has been going on for several months and it is sort of a regular thing for them now.   I need my pay all a ...
