Snail Mail Holiday Cards

Do you send Christmas cards or other holiday cards?  About how many do you send out?



I thought only snail mail letters were noticed?
I've emailed the govenor's office to check out our food stamp application before..but I thought for a petition/protest type of thing it had to be a phone call or snail mail letter to be noticed?

Centurion mail will encrypt your email. (nm)

Yes a SCAM, huge email fraud..they would notify you CERTIFIED MAIL or lawyer would call
   I get 2-5 of them a day...ALL FOREIGN using yahoo or hotmail.
I've never even hit this, so I'm top snail here! :) nm

That is great! My best so far is about 1600 but I am a snail compared to most - nm

Thoughts on snail's pace feeling/dizziness w/IT
I'm not sure there's a solution for your dizzy feeling looking at both the lines and the advisories. My own advice to the people I trained to use IT was that (a) you have get used to it, so use it first day maybe an hour at most, then go on with your day, doing a little more each day and (b) don't think of the advisories as static, but rather fluid. The program is asking you "Do you want fries with that?" so don't stress out over the choices. if you don't choose one of the options, no biggie, kwim?

Also in my own experience and that of what others have told me, at first you feel like you are absolutely crawling along, losing speed and time, and yet if you stick with it, gradually advancing your time with it and trying to relax into its phrase system, eventually you find that you are doing more.

The first couple days with the IT, the advisories really stressed me out, but thinking of the "you want fries..." question helped me to relax about it some. I look down when I feel like it, and not when I don't or if I'm feeling rushed or something.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.

Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by

Block her E-mail, return mail unopened

On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not  -- and if they are blocked  they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable".  If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted.  But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone.  If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.


Cruise - Especially if you don't have to fly to get to one.
Best value for the money out there.
cruise
I wish.  I have a radiology account and three separate doctors who have been with me for five years....  Have taken one vacation and left on Friday and came back on Sunday.....  Everyone wants they work back the same day.  I have these people spoiled rotten...... and it is all my fault too... 
cruise
Thanks for the info on the $$$$$....I guess I will have to get busy training someone local to help me for that one week...
Now Tom Cruise also...
I can't stand HIM!!! Freaky...but now Matthew, that's a different story.  He's *dreamy*
I second the Tom Cruise boycott.
Didn't know about Johnny Depp, but he's way better looking than Cruise.
It's an OPINION Cruise has.
He is entitled to an OPINION isn't he?  Just as you THINK you "survived" PPD.  Think of the damage people on drugs who have PPD have done, like the mother who drowned her five kids.  She was on drugs. 
cruise and work
Has anyone ever taken a cruise and worked off of a laptop while doing so?  We have just been given the opportunity to go on a cruise, but I have not had much luck with finding someone to help me out for such a short period of time, so I was wondering if anyone else has worked while on the cruise?  Is there access to e-mail on these ships?
Tom Cruise gets squirted!

Cruise information - SM

Would appreciate any feedback on which cruise and/or cruise line you have experienced and if you recommend them.  Would like to stay away from Disney, as it will be just hubby and I.  All the websites are so full of "perfection" I would like to hear "real comments."   TIA for any input everyone. 


I think Tom Cruise is a total whacko- sm
I actually thought it years ago but then he was kind of reclusive and didn't speak out so much.  Now that he's opened his mouth again and by his actions, he is showing his stupidity.  If you saw him on the Today show with Matt Lauer and the things he said, he was unbelievably pompous and arrogant about things he obviously knows nothing about.  Why do these "stars" think we want to hear what their opinions are?  Who cares?  All they are are paid ACTORS.  Tom Cruise only has a high school education and he acts like he is the most brilliant person in the world.  Look at Nicole Kidman - she got out while she could.  I pity Katie Holmes.
I am a PPD survivor and boycott Cruise nm

Tell that to the cruise ship industry.
dd
Tom Cruise?!? Ick! I only liked him when I was in high school.
Apparently that is still the trend! How old is Katie????? LOL!
YOU CAN EVEN CRUISE/TAKE ROAD TRIP

I'm leaving again next week on a cruise, and can take the work with me.  As an MTSO, I don't have to transcribe, but could if I needed; just download via ship internet to laptop and type offline, then send back.  I use to move files, answer emails, and JUST IN CASE, have the ability to transcribe should the world fall apart while I'm gone!  Also, if you get an AIRCARD, you CAN download/send files while traveling where phone signal is available.  Life is good with flexibility!!!


If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.
s
I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
I refuse to validate the idiot Cruise
or to enrich him with one penny of my hard-earned money. I will not be seeing his movie or any other project in which he is involved. I feel the same way about Johnny Depp since the horrible, hateful statements he has made about America and Americans. They are free to speak their minds, but I am also free to choose not to reward their hatefulness.
This wasn't a thread about Cruise's opinion which

some of you think he doesn't have the right to have.  I don't care HOW ridiculous it is, it is HIS opinion...just the same as we all have ours that he's nuts. LOL


Yes, I think he's really gone out there making the ridiculous claims he has...but, it is his right to think the way he does.  Just as you have the right to think differently.


Doesn't change the fact that he is a fabulous actor and a box office sure bet. 


I don't subscribe to his perspective on PPD or drug therapy or psychiatry at all.  I'm sure he doesn't subscribe to my perspective on sitting at the computer all day to type out reports about other people just to make a few bucks. 


Now, there are people in this world sadly enough who will not seek help because of what he said and for those people I am truly sad for.  Those tend to be the same people who VOTE according to what their favorite celebrity says as well.  LOL


I believe in complete autonomy so if these people must mess up their lives because they have the right to - then let them. 


I won't boycott anyone because I differ in their opinion about treating problems.  He's not a criminal; he's not a child molester; he's not a sexual offender; he's not a thief; he's not a tax evader; he's not .. he's not any of the things that I feel I SHOULD make a boycott about it. 


The movie was fantastic.  You're missing out but, hey, that's your right!!  LOL 


Enjoy your evening!


Tom Cruise has always been manic. He has always been what he is, you just haven't noticed it.
He was always cute and now he looks haggard and it seems like he is trying to recapture his youth with Katie Holmes.   Whatever.  He did make some really good movies and I think he is extremely talented but no heart throb. 
MSNBC said today cruise ships are on the way now SM
They said it takes a little bit of time to get there, but Coast Guard works closely with the cruise lines.
I found you the link of the cruise line...
Here's the latest I found of what they stated. Just seems to me like they are "buying time" so as not to use their ships for these "poor" people. They don't want to give up one of their 21 American owned ships for use, though, from what I have heard....While they work out the "legalities" people are continuing to die in MS and LA. What a darn shame.

Although I did hear on CNN that a GREEK cruise liner is on its way as we speak to help some refugees!

We'll see....

I haven't had any excitement since my last husband sent me on a cruise...
thru the Bermuda Triangle. There's something missing from my life but what, what, what could it be? I have everything a woman could want - a beautiful home, financial security - and I have two, two, two mints in one. But I don't know, somehow something is still missing...
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Could be the yellow hair but his eyes are puffy too, like Tom Cruise.
Bring back the old fun loving Brad and Tom. 
We used to cruise the main drag, race on the old highway, and
stop at the burger joints to see where the parties were.  The kids don't get to do that any more because the cops bust them for loitering, curfew, etc.  In fact, that's the first thing DH and I noticed about each other was our cars while cruising the drag.  He had a red AMC Javelin and I had a red Dodge Coronet.
Cruised Mediterrean in 60 passage cruise ship
South of France, great food, great wine, wonderful shopping, ancient ruins, Michaleangelo, so much more. Well worth 10 grand.
Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write. 
Used to be Tom Cruise but he stopped being irresistable when he became a lunatic. Lost all respect!

That has already been brought up by the govt.They asked Carnival cruise lines sm
to bring a ship into port and allow some residents to board the ship. Carnival says they will "consider" it. Carnival is owned by a Florida company...I can try to find the link for you where I read this.

I am irritated because "they have to think about it." If I owned the ship I would be more than happy to let the homeless use it for a while - at least a month - until they can get on their feet - get insurance stuff together, etc.

Carnival is taking WAYYYY too much time "thinking" about it as people lay dying in the streets of New Orleans
We did the cruise to the Bahamas out of Cape Canaveral. I absolutely LOVED it sm
We went on Royal Carribean and they have their own little island with tiki bar, beach volleyball, snorkeling, etc., that you can go to for free once they dock in the Bahamas. That was the best part.

We want to go again. We also did a snorkeling trip that went right past Atlantis....It was gorgeous. Can't give you any info on the Atlantis, but I can the cruise.

Of course, if you've ever been on a cruise the best part is all the great food. We'd be eating our 4 course meal at dinner and our waiter would be announcing that at midnight there would be a pizza buffett on the upper deck! We were like, ugh! But, if we went dancing that night then we'd go for a bite to eat around 1 in the morning. I was so bad on that trip!
We also did the Bahamas/Carribean cruise and toured the Atlantis. If I had my choice..
The Atlantis is the most gorgeous resort/casino ever. Our kids loved the underground aquariums. The cruise was the best thing we ever did..We usually go to Florida every year and do the Universal Studios thing and then onto something else. After seeing the Atlantis, our cruise line offered a tour, we think next time we will just fly directly into the Bahamas and stay there..It is spendy to stay there but they do have specials so check out their website for those www.atlantis.com. Good luck
C-phones
Are C-phones worth the trouble and expense of getting one? I work for a small company and now the docs want to go back to them! I thought they were rather obsolete. Also, what kind of cost is involved in unlimited long distance plus do you have to have a separate phone line for these?
