    Thank you! To answer your question...I constantly referred back to my desire to overcome this challenge and not let them win. I used my anger/resentment/ advancements in education as energizing...

  16. @FixIt44it would...I guess it is all about the lexicon and context used when signing on with the company. Kickback, incentive, sign-on bonus--all terminology that could determine the legality vs...
  17. @jancon201 I'm an RN in nj...and yes, FSS is a platform that I could have created in high school computer class. They should have established and refined their site and company before going live; it...

    agreed--I guess I just found the change from paper to gps to be a bit intrusive. @SpankedInPittsburghdo you also use FSS (I know they are based out of PA)...or do you have affinity? or neither
