Yes, it's a game to play. Santa has secretly posted a giveaway for you to enter. When you find the post, click the email link to enter.  A winner will be drawn and contacted. It's that simple.  It doesn't cost anything to participate. 

I should make it clear to everyone that gifts being given do not have to be.  MTStars and sponsors come together every year so that we can offer MTStars Santa's Bag gifts to US MTs who visit the MTStars website.  I am seeing disturbing posts that are somewhat condemning when all we're tyring to do is spread some Christmas cheer.  To those who have complaints, just don't play or ruin it for others who are enjoying the fun and festivity of this annual event.

bring a magnet
whenever you go to look at a car. A magnet will not stick to Bondo.

I have a magnet, about 1/4-inch thick, looks like a SM

really big, flat doughnut. I have it on a metal filing cabinet on the vertical side - like so I can't accidentally drop a tape on it. I just rub the tape back and forth over that and it's erased.


I'm sure you could buy one somewhere (used to know an MT who used a cow magnet for the same thing) but I got mine from my husband's shop. Have been using it for 12 years.


 


standup comedy....My magnet says...sm
I have a magnet on my fridge that says:  If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.  *LOL*
Couldnt they just run a magnet up his body

magnet bracelets ? what brand, or do all brands work ?
My sister said a magnet necklace worked well for her neck pain. I have seen these as little as $5 and as high as $100+. I am allergic to most metals like the brass copper twisted strands bracelets so which one is working so well for you ?
Thanks for your info.

I think she's pulling your leg sm
what she is claiming is next to impossible! Sorry, I don't believe you!
lol, not pulling your leg (sm)
I really did try the avatar months ago with no luck.  However, this time I did go into edit my information so maybe it "reset" something.  Glad you can see my butterfly wings............
Hair pulling day
Same doc on two notes.  Left 26 blanks total. 
RE: Pulling my hair out
I have had 2 people working for me for almost 5 years and have to repeatedly check over their work. Should I get rid of them or is this is the norm.
RE: Pulling my hair out

I have to read over each report that they send me because of careless errors like putting the month of June on the notes instead of July.  Of course, blanks are always going to happen from time to time, I realize that.  I am referring to the careless things that happen with the incorrect spelling of medications, etc. Why I still pay keep them I guess is because I am too nice, but it is wearing off very, very quickly.


Pulling my hair out
Yes I do give them very good feedback and every time these errors appear I am in contact with them all the time. This is an easy account with clear dictators and it is the same account they have worked on for some years so it is just time to do something. I have tried being patient, correcting, but I will do the next best thing and alert them that they are on probation; if they don't straighten out then I will either start deducting for these careless errors or lay them off.
Again, I am pulling for you. Please dont let me

i think the little guy is pulling out his hair!!
Interesting post. I thought it was just me, after MTing so many years. First of all, i was told 30+ years ago to try and sit off-center from the keyboard and see if it helped my accuracy -- it worked wonders!! I tend to sit a tad to the right of it and angle the right upper corner of the keyboard up a bit too. I find i have less arm fatigue and less strain on my carpal-tunnel-feeling nerves to be closer to the board. Sometimes i even put the keyboard in my lap -- and it really does seem to help the comfort alot, just a bit of a bother to situate my keyboard when i get up and down from the desk tho. I also find, contrary to smart-people thoughts, that i do better with my keyboard low enough that my arms are not at right angles to it. we MTs are a bit finicky eh?
Are you pulling in templates? If so,
you will have to check and make sure they are set on 100%.
I think you must tell your mother why you're pulling away from her. sm

It can't be fair to her that she does not know why you're treating HER like this.  She's done nothing wrong.  You need to tell her how you feel but point it to the fact that for your emotional health and safety you can't be in situations with your stepfather.  Talk to her about keeping close to her without him  and if she's doesn't want that, then you'll not be seeing her for awhile.  I don't believe your mother is not strong enough to know the truth and it could possibly kick you in the pants in the end.  It certainly may feel like a "darned if you don't, darned if you do" situation, but why make your mother feel that she's done something wrong, point that finger where it needs to be pointed, you're uncomfortable with him. 


I say that about her being strong enough, but in an entirely different situation where my dad kept secrets about my brother, after my dad died my mom found out about these secrets which my dad felt she was not strong enough to handle, and it caused great harm to the relationship between my mom and myself.  I can only hope that one day she can get over the deception that she feels we all pulled on her, even though it was at my dad's request because of her health.  I truly wish I had told her a long time ago to save myself the mess that I deal with now by myself because my dad's not here to take the blame for us keeping secrets from my mom.  


Why distance yourself from your mom without it being for the truth?  Is it really not that important?  You'll have to decide.  My best to you and yours.


OMG! Pulling my hair out here! Venting...


I have an ESL who speaks very fast, but when I slow him down, he sounds like a very drunk ESL.  He tends to speak rather softly until the last 3 or 4 words of his dicatation, when he actually speaks into whatever he dictates into and I can hear those few words very well.  This guy has been a pebble in my shoe for far too long!


Ok, venting over.  Ignore the crazy lady.  


Your mail carrier was pulling yer leg
jokes on you!
If US MD's were pulling stuff back into US pay would be going up. It's going down.
because of offshoring and because of other replacements for MT (VR and EMR), pay is going down. Face it. There are cheaper alternatives for US MTs. The quality is not as good, but it is good enough. Yea, yea, yea "lawsuits, bla, bla, bla." Nice theory but ain't happening.
My MTSO recommends not pulling up more SM
than 3 documents. For reports in storage, I found that's about half a minute or less total to pull up 3 of them individually, scan, and move on. Google searches somewhat more but not more than a couple minutes at most to find an answer or realize it's hidden and move on. The point in this case being that they want a conscientious effort made to produce high-quality documents with few blanks but haven't found it cost effective for us to spend more than a minute or two on filling a blank.

Timing an actual minute while you to a search is revealing; it's actually a pretty long time that you could be using to churn out...what? 160+ lines with the help of your expander?
30 years and I'm still pulling my hair out sometimes

no but these remote companies have a habit of pulling the
Tell you one thing and do another once youre under lock and key.  I don't trust them anymore, so I'd rather stay right where I am.
i'm not an editor pulling my hair out or hollering at anyone. You are.
what a joke. you think you are superior but when i make $25-30 an hour with no sweat, no problem, no hollering, no pulling my hair out, and you are left hollering with BP in the too high digits, who is dumb? bwwwaaaaaahaaaaaaaa

Santa
The Santa's wife had written a book a few years before about a little girl who was killed and found in her basement. I have always suspected him.

Santa's House
Is anyone else getting an error message when trying to make a donation to Santa's House?  I have been getting an error page since yesterday evening.
LOL. Yep, like the Chirstmas Santa

Too funny.  I think she just wants attention and this is not the place.  I'm sorry for her situation and glad she has done something about it, but really...enough already.  Sheesh! 


She needs to learn to make some decisions on her own.  She says she is supposed to type 500 lines per day on her job....she types that many lines here on MTStars per day...telling everybody her personal business and wanting folks to feel sorry for her.


who was the Santa Claus?

Santa house?
I must be dense or blind or something, but I see nothing about a Santa house - only how many days and seconds until Christmas - and nothing to the left of it that says to post a new message. Am I supposed to see that at the top of this thread, or at the top of the main board - doesn't matter, I can't see it either place!
Secret Santa?

Is the link on this page the right link to enter? 


Thanks MTStars and Santa!
What a wonderful and fun thing you provide for us MTs.  Indeed, it is we who should be thanking you for the opportunity to come to this board and network with fellow MTs throughout the year.  I am very grateful that you are here in spite of all the grinches who try to ruin it for the rest of us all year long.  Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and care in giving us this respite from our difficult jobs and stressful holiday season.  It is MUCH appreciated by most of us!  God bless and Merry Christmas to all of you who do the hard work of monitoring and providing this outlet for us all.
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Santa Monica
I live in Santa Monica. Although I am not in Ventura County, I would be interested to hear what you have to offer.
Thanks! I am close to Santa Barbara and will go there.
Will keep you posted. It will take six months to save up the money. The clinic in Santa Barbara is well known.

I left the information you needed as a reply to your post below previous post.
Found Santa - no posting box.
I got to a new board I hadn't reached before - and there was the Santa house. I still don't find any box about posting, though. I'll keep searching. Ithas to be there somewhere!
Someone is not in the holiday spirit. Santa won't like that.
