To Cher / Moderator
I just explained to you that I n e v e r sent her an email. I n e v e r do this. Why should I ?
I post all my comments on the board.

addendum: I think Moderator Cher is one of the
nicest, fairest and most dedicated.
Just gottah share. I read in our local paper about a 3 y.o.battling neuroblastoma sm

a deadly form of cancer. She has undergone 5 chemo treatments and undergoing major surgery on Friday to remove a lemon-sized tumor on her kidney. This story broke my heart. In the article it read that she will undergo 2 stem cell transplants costing 300,000 to 500,000 a piece and her family needs help.  They do have insurance, but they will be stuck with whatever insurance does not cover.


So, I forwarded the article to everyone on my email list (plent of them) along with a note stating that if everyone in the city and surrounding city in which we live just gives 25.00 to 50.00 (those who CAN give, not those who simply can't), then we could take care of this precious girl and family!  It's times like this when you see the true nature and heart of a person. I have a sister in law whom 3 years ago wrote me this NASTY email after I sent her and many others a email stating that our soldiers were looking for certain items during the start of the Iraq war.  She told me NOT to bother her with such nonsense.  How cruel can one be? Anyways, I did not send her this article and I won't let idiots intimidate me when all I want to do is help this poor girl!!


I even went so far as to contacging a local web hosting company asking them for a free website for this little girl so that those all across the country can give to this family. And I also thought it would be a great way for the family to share with family and friends across the globe on Chloe's progress and updates!  We'll see.


 


I am going to contact the familyl (after praying about it) and ask if they mind me doing such a thing! I don't think she has a website....
The story broke my heart and I just feel compelled to DO SOMETHING.  I have 3 precious children.  The thought of any one of them dying from cancer is too much to even bear!   I will keep you updated on what the web hoster(s) say about me wanting them to provide a free Chloe website! Cross your fingers and pray for her too.


recommend adware, free, but if you can do a system RESTORE, it is much, much easier than battling it
i used to spend days trying to get crap off my computer. learned to back up to system restore from a few days prior to when i noticed everything happening and works like magic!! so much of an easier solution. but several tech support have told me adware and i run it weekly.
Simon Cowell
on Larry King tomorrow
I'd rather hear what Simon has to say anyway (nm)
/
I agree, Simon is just being realistic!
nm
Simon calls that the X factor....
n
And yet when he moves and does what he does best, Simon bags
x
Simon did apologize, he said so last night. nm
x
Simon has corrected himself in the past. sm
Actually, I have heard Simon say in past seasons that after watching the playback it was not as bad as his review, which is, of course, what he did with Katherine.
And she can't stand Simon to get a cohesive sentence, either.
She should zip it when it's his turn to talk, already.
RE American Idol. In the past Simon has said (sm)
America got it right.  Do you think he will say that this year?  In my opinion, these are the two WEAKEST contestants of this entire season.  Taylor is very lounge-y and Kat is completely inconsistent.  She'll do well with one song and not the other.  I think Kat is more marketable and I think, somehow, Taylor made it in under the radar.  JMO.  What do you all think?
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order
:+
I thought it was ridiculous, and was glad Simon agreed with me. nm
x
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Imagine that!!
My DH just got a promotion at work.  It is a pretty big promotion.  He sat down and talked to me and told me how happy he is to have me at home working, because he feels he is where he is because I pick up so much of the slack with the kids, etc. and he gets to focus on his career.  For a while I was considering getting out of the business (major burnout), but now I'm here to stay!!!  He told me now that he is making more, not to worry about working so hard -- take some more time off for myself!!!  Am I lucky or what!!!!
Imagine that.....
You are blessed with a great fella! And, indeed, you are a lucky lady. Something tells me that you deserve this, however. :) Enjoy!
Imagine this...
You are in charge of let's say 50 MTs... and they all want to chit chat. I don't think that would make a very productive supervisor.

Does it bother you when you are working and someone, either in your home on on the phone, wants to chit chat?

With all the changes and consolidating offices, I'm sure the supervisors have more than their share of stressors. Just look at the supervisor turnovers we all speak of. They need to do their jobs as efficiently as possible and being chummy with MTs is counterproductive to that end.

I'm not saying they should shrug off any pertinent MT problem that has to do with work by any means, but if work-related conversation evolves into anything else, I can see why the supervisor would want to get off the phone.

I've had about 4 supervisors since being with MQ, 3 within the last 6 months, and I correspond by email mainly. I find that much more efficient, but when I return their calls, they are very helpful and nice. I am a talker so I avoid the phone at all costs because that would totally take away from work time or fun time ;-)

And I'm just wondering... what kind of favors?
I can't imagine
They generally schedule 1 patient every 15 minutes to make up for those who don't show. With outsourcing they still have to dictate so I don't see how that would let them see more.
I can't imagine...sm
My highest day ever was 2600 lines and I couldn't sleep that night, my hands were so painful. I rarely do more than 2100 lines in a day because my hands just can't handle more than that.

I do yoga and work out by walking three miles daily, and if it weren't for that, I don't think I could do this for a living because its murder on the hands. And I'm only 42 years old.

I dont know how you do it. Kudos to you!

Yes, it is, but I imagine you could

Can you imagine?
Can you imagine Taylor's reaction if (when, fingers crossed) he wins?  He seems to appreciate everything so much.  Vote, vote, vote!!!!
I cannot imagine
I cannot imagine my reports still having to be checked after two months, I have never gone more than two DAYS before being released from QA.  Are you SURE you are not making legit errors?  If you truly believe that your reports are 100% accurate, then I agree with the previous poster - you need to look elsewhere for employment. 
Imagine that....
Someone has a job that consists of constanly making changes. I guess that requires a Master of Arts in Changology degree.
I would imagine she would like to
inserts a period, spaces appropriately, and capitalizes the first letter of the next sentence.

If you are not familiar with VBE, the easiest way to create a your new macro will probably be to type a few sentences without punctuation in a Word doc. Place your typing cursor at the end of the first sentence. Go to create new macro, name it, and assign the shortcut keys you would like to use. The macro recorder should then show on your screen.

Insert a period at the end of the first sentence and space the appropriate number of spaces. Then capitalize the first letter of the next sentence. Turn off the macro recorder. Go to the end of the next sentence and try the assigned shortcut keys.
I would imagine most do...
If they require you to do these during your normal work hours so you are losing money to attend the training/conference, etc. Heck even if you do it outside of work hours, you are giving up your free time to do it and thus should be paid IMO.

I was curious to see if most of the companies do pay, as mine doesn't and it really steams me.
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Just imagine-- no worries
I would love to wake up every morning and have no worries about gas prices going up even higher, whether or not I can afford my utility bill, whether or not I as a single woman will be able to find someone to help me with heavy work and things I can't do by myself, etc.  No matter what state of chaos the world is in, they just go on about their daily routine, just like they always have.  They also help each other-- what a novel idea.  Their lifestyle is sounding better all the time-- a big plus for me is that I already have a horse.
Same here!! They get so nutz on here. Could you imagine
what it would like to put all these same women in the same room? It could go one of 2 ways..sweet as pie to one another OR .......AAAH!! Oops i think i splt thgs rihgt up three!! LOL
I just can't imagine what these people are going through.
I watched a CNN clip on the net this morning and can't stop crying.   I'm going to try to pull it together and work a bit extra today so that I can have extra $$ to send to the Red Cross and I'm going to pray a lot.
Very original!! Can only imagine what it would be
hahaha
Absolutely - I can't imagine doing anything (sm)
else (despite all it's faults). 
Imagine. And I really liked your posts.

Sorry to see you go. I must admit I was shocked at some of the stuff that was thrown at you in this female dominated environment.


So sorry to hear about your uncle. I'm very close to my uncles (my mom's brother and brother-in-law). Just lost my mom in April. It's been really rough on all of us.


I actually heard Ringo across the airwaves in our teeny tiny local supermarket today. I'm pushing my cart and singing, "Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, let me help. . . ." :)


I asked the fresh faced clerk if she knew who it was singing and she rolled her eyes and said, "I have no idea."


I did tell her that it was Ringo Starr, one of the last 2 remaining Beatles and though she obviously was not the least bit interested, the woman behind me said, "You got that right! These kids need to take music appreciation classes."


God we're getting old. :)


For what it is worth, we have 2-year-old twin granddaughters and their favorite song is "Love Me Do."


My husband and I married with matching Lennon rings engraved with "Imagine" and he does the candle thing every year on the anniversary of John's death. This year was hard, marking #25.


All John was saying, was give peace a chance.


Too bad about the people on this board that will never see beyond the scope of their own insecurities.


Godspeed RadGuy.


Peace!


 


I can't imagine why my note
has all of these hits, especially since it wasn't a general question and had nothing to do with transcription. Must have been a slow work day :)
I couldn't imagine.....
...holding the baby while typing. I have 15-month-old twins and THANKFULLY neither gave me that problem. I think if they had I probably would have tried every different toy bar for the bouncy seat or swing until something worked. Something comfy for her to lay against maybe. If nothing works and you can't manage typing and holding her then adjusting your schedule for when your husband is there would be my only thought. Good luck. Mine are giving me CLIMBING issues at the moment, oh brother!!!!!
No, it doesn't pay better, but I imagine they take the job...

as an MT while looking for a position somewhere as a doctor.  There are a lot of doctors and not enough open jobs for everyone there.  It's hard to find a good job there, because you'll probably have thousands competing against you, but MT jobs seem to be in high demand now so they're easier to get, especially if you're already trained in the medical field.


I've never been myself, but I can imagine it's
gorgeous by what I've seen in pictures and stuff. I would love to visit one day. Have you spoken with her? From what I could tell just on TV, they both seemed to have loved each other so much. I know that must be hard for her and the kids, especially something so sudden.

Hopefully she will continue some of the things her husband did, such as the zoo. From what I read, it seemed he did a lot beyond his TV shows.
better yet, imagine a MT who is professional!?

Imagine what a joy they are to live with
I bet their spouse wants to strangle them daily.  I know I do.
I imagine he enjoyed that
after the Cialis
can't imagine you'd be so forgiving if it were your money she took! nm

What comes around, goes around. I imagine one day this person will find
zz
Well, its' not only that, but the money you must pay - I can't imagine it'd be worth
working for anyway. Let's say you have two children at 110.00 a week a piece. That's almost 800.00 a month. Where is the justification in that? I am with the above poster too. I have raised 3 doing part-time MT early in the morning and then late at night after they go to sleep. It's worked like a charm for our family and I praise God for MT at home!
That is tragic. I can't even imagine. You are right, they don't know their boundaries...
and one of my greatest fears is something like that happening. Fortunately, we have no standing water like that around here. I think the very worst that can happen are stray dogs attacking our children since we live in the country. I can only pray my dogs would defend and get in the way of them/us before then...but that would be tragic also!

You just never know.
I was heartbroken to the core last year when an 8 year old was accidentally run over by his mother's mini van while playing on a driveway with a hill. The car went out of gear. I just sobbed like a baby for those parents and siblings..
The dangers are very real and something I don't like to think about...
it's very drying to the skin, and I can't imagine
making my puppy or dog uncomfortable with dry skin.

Just try it, wash your hair or body in DAWN soap and you will be itching like crazy. It dries your hair out horribly, leaving you with flyaway frizzy hair. But talk about itching, OUCH AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

Sorry, but that's just how I feel.
People don't tell because they like having enough work, I imagine - also, sm
Josie Blowsie over there may not make the same line rate I make. That's subbing, of course. I don't tell what I charge my local contracts because I don't want to be underbid.
and imagine being his patient trying to figure out what he's saying !

I agree. I can't imagine having a BR that large.
I don't even think my family room is 600 square feet so I can only imagine what an 850 square foot bedroom must be like!  When I win the lottery (LOL!) I'll have one!
imagine it's very sad for Anna Nicole....sm

Imagine if every patient in the country
If patients put as much pressure on medical facilities NOT to offshore their information, as when they do regarding other things these facilities do that are not in their patients' best interests, someday they would all have to sit up and listen.

Even if you didn't have the wherewithall to physically CHANGE DOCTORS, making it understood repeatedly that you will NOT BE AMUSED if you find your records have been offshored (insinuting ever so gently about the possibility of legal action), that could be just as effective. Those guys are all scared-to-death of being sued.
