How could a grown man be in love with a child....
but they way she was dressed with the hair and make-up, etc., she looked about 25. Too many perverts out there and he definitely fits the image. I don't know how or who would hire him especially around some kids. He has pervert stamped all over him.
I agree - my kids are grown and gone.
The house looks great, but I do miss the days when they were kids and lived here.
Agree. Next time may be YOUR child with

I agree - keeping any child - especially a 9th grader
Removing someone from their peer group at this vital stage of development is going to do nothing but make him think that the best way to solve a problem is to hide from it.
Do you use child care so you can work? Write

Child sexual abuse cases - used to do them sometimes where I used to work - sm
now do a lot of Trauma ER, it used to bother me a lot, but not anymore unless its kids. Guess I am getting used to all the gunshot and knife wounds in the city nearby, that is sad in itself.
Go to NBC10.com - Our local news has "Wednesday's Child" which is a child for adoption.
Every Wednesday they introduce a child who needs a home and a family. There should be some information there as these kids are up for adoption.

Hope that helps!
WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.

Is that clear enough for you???
Why would a grown
woman think that what you are doing is fun? What is wrong with you?
Yep, even though she's grown and married
, he still gets it anytime he wants it. The molestation has never stopped.
Yes, a daughter, all grown.
I married & divorced very young. Have 2 roommates (friend and her boyfriend). Couldn't afford this house otherwise. LOL. I live in an area called Lone Mountain Vistas, not far from Summerlin.
Yes and grown-ups and do not cry like a baby

over some lost time on a newbie!  Business is business.  Why cry baby about it on this board!  This kind of thing happens every day.  People do get better offers and this OP wants to cry baby about some lost time!  She should have picked someone who was experienced instead of trying to CLAIM she was helping a newbie!  I bet if this all came out in the wash, she was only paying a small cpl and wanted a whole lot!  I'd bet she's more upset about the fact that she has to do her own work instead of making more than half on someone else.  I just don't think a "grown-up" should make accusations of "people stealing information" or try to slander someone's name simply because they cannot support the account.  That kind of thing happens every day.  If you feel sorry for this OP, you need help more than me.  Misery loves company!  I'm bitter, but the OP isn't?  Who really needs to get over it?  Me or the OP or maybe even you!!! tsk tsk on the OP and you!   People quit, people make changes, get better offers, cannot put up with being micromanaged, and that is no reason to slander someone!  Making false accusations regarding stealing information can also result in a lawsuit.  Poor taste in this OP and I hope I never take a job with her and want to quit for any reason!  JMO.    


My children are grown and now
I am still working at home.  Get to be grandma now.  Don't forget $3 for a gallon of gas also.
Grown-up daughters - say nothing unless asked. And then don't say too much. nm

So since YOU don't have to worry about it because your kids are grown

Have you ever ONCE tried to put yourself in someone else's shoes or see something from someone else's point of view?  Have you ever, in your entire life, had an open mind about anything?


Apparently not, from what I've seen here.


As a parent of 3 grown men, I'd be real clear with him
on the reason for quitting. This is not the norm for most of these players, especially after playing for so many years. After this time it's usually "in their blood" as some would say. You really need to keep an eye on him and see where he really focuses his time now that he's not playing. Since his GPA is 4.0, it just throws up a flag to me as I read your post, and I'd be sure to keep a close eye on this young man. BUT, for your P.S., his team may nudge him back into playing and I don't necessarily think that would be a bad thing. Hopefully it's not a people problem that's caused him to want to quit, i.e. people picking on the little guy (wink, offensive linemen usually aren't too little, are they?). Just make sure you stay objective and keep an eye on the bigger picture if that's possible.

I remember when my now 25-yo was the tight end in pee wee footbal, lots of practice and lots of fun. He totally loved it but quit after midgets because he couldn't get along wth an upcoming coach. Ahhh, those were the days. Thanks for making me remember some good times.
I understand when the kids are grown, so I started over!
My youngest was turning 17 when I got pregnant with another. I guess it is called empty nest syndrome. I'm now 48 and raising a 7 year old beautiful little girl and I remember when my oldest children were growing up I'd think it was never going to end. Now I wake up every day thinking she is growing up too fast! I sure appreciate her more, now that I've seen how fast they will be gone!

Guess you're not ready for grown up humor then.


Absolutely, any parent who does less is negligent! Glad my kids are grown, my baby will be 18 in Ju

I agree 100%. I had so much work
this morning that I already got my lines in!!!!! I guess I will keep working and do extra! They can keep complaining, it is giving me more work. Maybe MQ found out who they are and are routing their work to us. LOL!!! LOL!!!! LOL!!!!
AGREE - I used to work as a QA there
was promoted. Anyone who cannot construct a logical sentence or spell common words, much less edit a medical report correctly because she has only 2 years of MT experience, has no business running a QA department. When people are promoted because they kiss a$$ and threaten to go on strike, whatever that means, if they aren't, is working for a company that has dirt-low standards. I am much, much happier at Amphion.
I work M-F and I agree with you. There are SM
several MT's on my team who are addicted to over-time and will not stop.

Isn't there a way work can be routed to you and cut off to others who do not belong on-line?

Never agree to work w/o spaces. No way.

I agree. As long as you have the work
option to give work to another IC.  I has a client that used other ICs.  Just because I transcribed for one physician didn't mean I could expect to receive all of their work.  Being an IC is being your own boss, not your client's boss to tell them who the can and cannot contract with.  JMO.
I agree....some piece of work....sm

The children today (NOT Generation X as they were products of the 1980s)......have enough to be frightened over in this world that has changed dramatically....we, as parents, don't have to make them more scared and more scared.  Parenting is an art - there are lots of free classes in early childhood development or PET (parent effectiveness training) which I took when my child was 4.  It was also taught by a psychologist with a degree.  There are sooooo many good positive ways to raise children where one doesn't have to *resort* to *submission* and still get super positive results. 


There are also obedience schools for learning how to raise animals.....the poster should check into these things.....


Pedophiles always use *scared into submission* when they are about to steal a child and do nasty things.....TO THE POSTER WHO BELIEVES IN *SCARED INTO SUBMISSION* - you keep on doing this to your children, and maybe some perpetrator will also play on that reaction your children now have from being *scared into submission*....HEAVEN FORBID!  But when you make a child scared into submission, they then tend to be scared into submission by any ADULT.


Check yourself on this one......


Totally agree . It is all in where you work.
I make 50K plus a year working 8 hours a day. Still love this job after 25+ years.
I work as an IC and when I agree to take work, I have to
have it back to them by 6 a.m. the next morning, but, I let them know when I can work. It is definitely not an every day thing. She does not tell me when to work, only the TAT.
I agree. Love Canadians, but we need our work here.
What about their socialized med system? No work for them there? Nope, I love Canadians as our neighbors, but I agree we need to keep it in the USA.
I agree. It's a great place to work,
most places are very slow around the holidays. And the owner is a great lady.
I agree -- go for it. After all, 9 cpl is not all that great for IC work, and it sounds like you nm

I agree, it depends on who you work for BUT also the account
and how long it has been on VR. If it has been on VR for a few years, piece of cake. If it is just starting out on VR - tedious work, low pay as it takes longer to edit than to just transcribe it.

I have been doing VR editing for 4 years now with an account that has been on it that long also...can make up to $50 an hour, and some times as low as $30 an hour when we add new dictators.

Hope this helps.
Agree---and work on those expansions..it stinks at first
but it WILL pay off in the long run. Especially once you're familiar with the doctors and you can *almost* type what they're going to say before they say it. When you're that familiar, it makes for a fabulous line count:-)
I agree...I have been busy with work all summer

I agree, and I work for MQ! Sooo boring, soooo old, and
you would think they'd realize how idiotic they look - whining and whining and predicting doom and gloom! Honestly, MQ and Philips is BOOMING in the business world right now.  Huge advances the last few months - HUGE sales of products, advances, awards in the industry.  I get email alerts daily on the HUGE growth of MQ - and these old sea-hags just sit on here and cackle about DOOM.  Boy, do they need a reality check, or what? All is fine in MQ world, and always, always will be!  As long as you're willing to work and have a brain, MQ is a great place to work! Oh, yeah, and I'm mgmt - making 6 figures and even remotely interested in sea-hag opinions! That is just soooooooooooooo lame, too! Or maybe I'm the same poster from below who always uses CAPS! That is sooooooooooo funny. Cracked up at that analysis - some of these women have way toooooooo much time on their hands rather than hitting the keyboard! Analysing posts to compare typing styles. Give me a break! What a hoot!
Totally agree with you. Often compare my work with that of a painter
You give him a job, give him a price and if he does not perform - you find another painter!
Totally agree. My husband has been out of work for 1 year. sm.
In that time he has graduated college. We have applied to close to 100 places with NO responses. I work two jobs (one of which just got cut back). Its tough but I don't ask for help. It drives me to the point of wanting to hit someone when they say "Tell you husband to just get a job". I just took out 30,000 in student loans to help him get a "career" because that is what they tell us to do in a recession but guess what..NOBODY IS HIRING. If you have a job, your lucky, keep it. If you quit your job just because you want state aid, your a fraud and a liar and a poor parent. HOW could you teach your child values, responsibility and work ethic, if you have none yourself.

I have to agree that cherrypickers will be out of work when VR takes over, since the harder reports
Even when I worked inhouse and had the opportunity to cherrypick, I didn't. Even now, I am finding out that ESLs are probably easier than than some of the American doctors in the long run, because they get down to business and dictate their report. Most times, they say the same thing over and over. Learn the doc, know his quirks and bang, you are done.
Thank you. I agree. Lack of enthusiasm in my work is bound to show up

RE: I totally agree!! I work at home can came make upwards or $25+ per hour (sm)
Where outside of my home could I make that money, not have to pay gas, buy extra clothes, etc.  I am very happy right where I'm at.
Yes, I agree. Free is a good price and Express Scribe will work just fine for you. (nm)

I agree. I work for an exceptionally difficult university and those people dictate on cell phones in
trains, in cars, everywhere and they cut out and they just have an exceptional amount of residents dictating on anything imaginable. My blanks are never for words I dont know they are for crappy dictators or those that simply dont know what they are talking about.
Are you the one with the ill child ???
If so, please realize that the stress of an ill child can be devastating to a marriage. Unfortunately many men deal with this kind of thing by drinking.  My best friend in the world went through 4 yrs of fighting leukemia with her little boy who became ill at 12 months.  Her husband turned into a total and complete jerk, drinking, and eventually becoming abusive to her.  A major medical illness can pull people apart.  On the other hand, it sometimes draws people together, but less often.  I had our third child extremely premature and she was critically ill for 2 months and then spent another 2 months in the NICU, 4 months total.  It was a big stress, but fortunately we weathered it okay.  Some people are not so lucky.  My first thought is that all this nonsense with your father, and his mother, and wills and money, and all the rest is just something to fixate on.  It may very well NOT be the source of the current friction in your home and your marriage.  Maybe some counseling if you can get him to go, would be in order.  My best to you and your family.
