what does the yellow flame next to msg mean? I see it is on the "let's rebel msg"

You aren't alone. I have wondered too what that was. I guess now we know. LOL.
Yes, Susan, this is your new friend
You can E-mail me if you would like as I am able to get mail from my regular ISP E-mail address in my Yahoo web site. I use my ISP address for my work and I am working today so this is a PTIB when trying to stay in touch, asking questions, etc.! :D
I think the confusion is that there are two flames!
One: A flame picture shows up to the left of a *hot* post or one that has been viewed I think more than 200 times.

Two: To be flamed, is an expression, like if you post something and a bunch of people post back in disagreement etc. It has nothing to do with the other.

I got a kick out of the fact that you thought you were being *flamed* (flame #2) for your post!

I'm pretty sure that's accurate and hope it helps!
Susan C. -- Faith E. is looking for you!! (sm)

  I used to work with you when your husband was stationed at Offutt. I sure would be interested in hearing from you wherever you are??


 


 


 


Thanks for all the help tonight.! I'm a different Susan

What happened to Susan?
Missed a few epis last season and I don't think they had summer reruns. I don't think she's been on yet this season. Did she get written out?
What do the little flames alongside

Are you talking about the flames?

If so, those indicate a "hot topic", meaning it has more than 200 or 250 views, that's all.


Susan Ronald

Got a strange message from "Mrs. Susan Ronald" with "hi dear" in the subject line generated from something I posted on MT Stars.  I just deleted it.  Weird.

Susan


No flames here. The neighbor was definitely in the wrong. sm
I am a dog owner, too, and mine do not go outside of my yard without being on a leash and I live in the country.
Thanks so much for your help, Susan! Please check your email...nm

Do you know what caused the ....sm
water damage?  Is it something that could happen again like flooding??  I would certainly wait until after inspection.  Personally, though, I would probalby keep looking.  Do you have a realtor?  They could answer your money questions.
But where are the Brad Pitts, Susan Sarandons, etc.etc.
They were some of the first to stand up and beg for money for tsunami victims.  Where are they today?
"facility's" preference before the flames start lol

I think this post was put here to brag and incite flames.
You know from history that every time the big money makers in this field boast about how much money they make in how little time that the thread goes downhill fast. First, somebody doesn't believe. Then someone is offended at the insinuation of lying. Then someone says other people could do it, too, if they were any good at MT. Then everyone is defending themselves and name calling. Why start it? Especially during the week before Christmas? Do you really need to rub people's noses in their lousy paychecks when some of us don't have enough money to even get gifts for the people in our lives or pay our bills because there was no work this pay period? People who need to tell others how much they make suffer from low self-esteem and misplaced priorities. There are more important things in life than money.
If I had that high of an IQ, I wouldn't be doing this for a living. Please, no flames. NM

That is hysterical. When I say flames I mean "no mean posts to me." It's just a saying. nm

Susan Youngblood of Pensacola, FL you won the USB Footpedal.
Email admin@mtstars.com with your full address and we will ship your USB Footpedal out to you.
Got 3 from Susan Poe, same context. Please post website here
because the emails are being generated by these looney tunes from this board. If others have not seen it yet, they will.
I received an email from Susan Poe, too. TO MODERATOR: SM
How should I handle this? With all due respect to ajc0197, I do not know who ajc0197 is, so I'm wary to contact this person. Since this scam email came from MT Stars, perhaps it is MT Stars who should and would prefer to handle it for us.

Please advise with ID. Thanks.
Susan.....I recently bought a new keyboard,
one of those ones with two separate halves with tenting, supposed to be ergonmic (love it BTW)....the first, I'd say 3 days, I actually thought I'd have to send it back because of a slight difference in key location, kept hitting the wrong keys, etc. However, after that time, I got used to it and no longer was hitting wrong keys.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can get a switch that turns a USB into a round and vice versa. You could try calling a computer/electronic store or googling.
Please don't expect answers; bound to start flames
Every job is different, every company is different, every account is different, every MT is different.  You are trying compare apples to oranges and it just starts a huge flame war.  No one believes the big buck people anyway so it's not even worth posting.
It means hot topic (flames). After a certain number of people

I bought one of those cat fountains and it caused
A brown area on the white fram around the plug. I sent it back and got my money back. Most of this stuff is made in China now and I think they use cheap wiring. I was glad I was home and noticed it because it could have melted the plug and started a fire.
Did try - it caused my supe to giggle :{ NM

I am pretty sure braces CAUSED my DD's TMJ
She never had it before she had braces, and has had it ever since.  I started to do some research on the web about it, and it seems it is pretty common for orthodontists to line up the TEETH, but not the jaws - which is kind of a DUH thing to me.   I mean, you would expect an orthodontist to know they needed to have both in line, right?  My DD's teeth look beautifully straight, but her jaws click and sometimes get stuck.
caused me to go severely in debt
that 10 years later I am still recovering from - was writing checks on charge accounts to pay mortgage - this was local and when I would go to her house to pick up and drop off tapes I was seeing boxes from QVC yet she said she wasn't getting paid.  Still angry. 
I have heard that this can often be caused by stress.
In the early years of my first marriage, my husband soaked the sheets nightly. He was in the middle of a nasty divorce and child custody case. When those issues resolved, the night sweats disappeared.

Here's a different perspective on what really caused lung cancer.
http://www.vialls.com/transpositions/smoking.html
That is what caused me to be unable to transcribe anymore.
I have to do QA now and it is a good thing I like QA, but I cannot do anymore transcribing due to the mess it has made of my back and to my hands/wrists. I also did minimally 2200 lines in 5 hours and have done as many as 3200 before. Those were the good ole days. Do it while you can because at that rate, it takes its toll on our body.


Apologies all around, we experienced a glitch that caused
the content on the inside of the post to not belong to the original job ad post. The error has been rectified.
chapped lips are caused from dehydration in the beginning and sm
chapsticks are a chain reaction causing continual need.
I read a book once that burnout was caused by being out of balance. sm
Working too much and not giving time to other parts of your life is the culprit in the job arena. Variety is the spice of life, so focusing on balancing your job, your need for a good cash flow, with times to enjoy yourself is essential.

It takes work, and fortunately I have an S/O that demands that I take time for us to have fun and for "me" to have fun as an individual.

Mwahahaha. Just call me the dealer that caused the shuffle. SM


I'm like you, I couldn't understand how this particular subject could cause such a ruckus.  I got a little picky about how the question should be answered because there are many variables when talking about line counts.


So I'm just going to give my answer and hope that this helps you.


I work 8 hours a day and my line count is based on a 65 character line with spaces.


In an 8-hour day, with very few interruptions, I produce 1800 to 2000 lines a day.  If the kids are home (as they are today), my production will slip to around 1500, sometimes even lower, but let's not talk about those days! 


My headaches were caused by a bad chair! My boss told me about the same thing and sm
I went out and bought a new chair. No more headaches. That was 4 years ago and it still ticks me off that I had a headache for 5 months that no one had a reason for. Turns out that my chair was tilting funny and I was over-compensating for it without realizing that it was off balance.

Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work.  I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone.
Sounds like Rodney King after he wreaked havoc and caused a great race riot.
Quit calling people FOOLS and then asking if we can't get along. 
All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest
