I did not refer to Obama or McCain and the political side of it, I am interested more in how it is effecting us in the United States. Everyone else is posting here about their jobs and that is what I am talking about. I don't care about policies right now, I am wondering how every day life is going to change.

And, no, I am not being rude, just explaining myself.

    As always, political posts should be posted on the Politics board.

    I think she's already there on the political board, being nasty to
    anyone who responds to her, for a couple of postings. I don't understand people sometimes.


    Take the political banter to the Politics board.

    Posts about political topics go on the Politics board

    If you are talking about President Obama's stance, action, statements concerning offshoring - it is political.  It goes on the Politics board.


    If you are talking about healthcare industries and what Congress, the Senate, the GOP or other leaders are doing or not doing about - it is political.  It goes on the Politics board. 


    Thanks,

    How is this political? This is a state of living, not bickering political points. Truth hurts...NM

    Are you the one who posted on the Ask the Dr board?

    I go to "The Stop Smoking Center" for online support.  I quit for eight years, but this past 13 months have been so crazy that I relapsed exactly one year ago.  I've been peeved at DH and stressed over a lot of stuff, so I lit up one night while out with a friend.  I quit again for three months using Zyban, but relapsed yet again after stopping that.  I do OK during the day with not smoking, but DH smokes outside at home so it's tough to stay quit being around him.  I just keep making excuses to not quit.  That means I'm just not ready yet.  People handle their emotions and stress fine without smoking.  I handled everything fine for eight years without smoking, and those eight years were pretty hairy, too..  For me, it's a question of replacing my bad emotional crutch with a good one.  (Exercise!)


    Good for you for making the decision!  You can do it!  Google the support board I told you about, and I'll probably be around here if you want to buddy up or anything.


    This is posted on the job board:

    ...7 cpl for a 65-char. line with room for increase. Please send resume and place "ESL MT" in the subject line. These are very difficult accents...


    Is this serious??  THAT is why there is nothing left to this profession.  Applying for and accepting jobs like this is what has been the kiss of death for MTs.  I hate to think what they would pay for non ELSs - 5 cpl?


    I have posted this before on another board
    My DH cousin jokeingly said to be a Transcriptionist all you have to do is know how to type and spell. I said "okay, spell pterygoid muscle." After a long blank stare he said, "There is no such thing". Like I said he truely was joking but so many people think there is nothing to this job.
    Look on the job board, someone just posted a weekend only job - nm

    It should be posted on the Company board, please.

    On another board here, I posted a news
    article which actually identified this New Zealand company as being owned by a HUGE American national....everyone laughed at me and said this was old news - offshoring. But it was sure news to me that it was my company and now in New Zealand. Personally, I'd love to transfer there. Lots of nice sheep and trees.
    Silly me, you posted t his on the Gab board too - sm
    I got confused!!!!!

    Someone posted abbreviations before this board went
    bonkers and I had copied it down. When site went down, so did my copy. Does anyone have a good site for abbreviations? Thanks.
    If you are the OP, you also posted this on the Company board
    As being a position with Keystrokes. I didn't think KS hired ICs?

    Color me confused but...?
    At the top of the Company Board is posted ....s/m
    ' Don't make your decisions based on someone else's recommendation - Administration '
    One guy posted on message board, saying he was on his laptop in the car.
    He said they are doomed if they do not open up the highway going the opposite direction, as you said. And, fuel is an issue, needless to say.

    Mandatory evacuation should have been ordered soon, they are saying, as opposed to voluntary.

    Hi Donna. I posted to you on the autoimmune board

    Other people have posted about the ad on the company board--
    --but the posts were deleted. I'm not sure what's up with that.
    Administrator I posted my name for looking for an MT job on your job resume board and I dont see it
    there.
    We have not moved this topic to the Company board. Perhaps you posted it
    there initially thinking it was the Main board.
    Re above message - just posted on technical board. Need help badly.
    Thanks.
    Posted another quick and good one on recipe board for you.

    Posted on the Gab Board about name suggestions for my cookie business if anyone would like to help
    I'm not sure how busy the Gab Board is compared to this board, so I thought I'd post here as an fyi. Thanks for any help :)
    Sorry to disappoint you but I've never posted on the newbie board!

    I agree. And as someone posted on another board here, it's hard to care about it when the dictat
    Being these are pretty darn important documents, it's equally as important for us to get it right as it is for them to slow down so we can truly actually hear what they're trying to say. It's a joint effort that often falls short on their end for whatever reason.
    On job board. Some goof posted 11:50 hour for 2 years experience

    To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
    was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.

    Thank you.
    MT Week prizes are posted on the Main board. Watch for them and then
    follow the directions to enter. If you see a post that has a winner announced beneath it, that prize is no longer available.
    This was posted earlier today on the Gab Board and now I am reading this statement from this Pakista
    MTSTARS.COM DOMAIN NAME HAS BEEN HIJACKED!

    NOTICE


    The mtstars.com domain name has been hijacked, so this website will probably go down and then come back up with old information (not current posts). We are setting up at mtstars.net and taking legal action to regain the mtstars.com domain. Please do not post at this site further as the domain has been taken over by an offshore entity.


    Thank you for your loyalty over the years, but know that we are not gone. We plan to have mtstars.net up and running very soon ...

    Not to make this political, but...
    Next time you vote for the Democrats, please realize that the ACLU has their hands ALL OVER the Democratic party, and the ACLU will fight to the end for the rights of those such as child molesters.  Just Google the case about the boy in Massachusetts who was killed by a pedophile who frequented the NAMBLA website, which actually gives tips and information on how to gain access to little boys and actually condones sexual relations between men and boys.  While neither political party is perfect, I find the actions of the ACLU more of than not to be unacceptable and I don't want anything to do with them.  They used to do good work for the rights of others, they've now swung WAY too far in the other direction to the point of "stupid", especially when it comes to the rights of obvious criminals who would harm our children.
    My political views
    You need to take my political views with a grain of salt.  I really don't know enough about politics to even be on here running my mouth.  Furthermore, I don't hate President Bush, I do so enjoy picking on him; but I know he has a very difficult job, and I bet money he is a lot smarter than me.

    political? I think this is pertaining to life
    I think this turned into whether or not you spank your child not what is happening in the schools/govt.
    The posts that were removed were political. (SM)
    It started discussion about which President was at fault for what and political views.

    Stop jumping to conclusions over a reminder.

    Not political but re Senator Kennedy's OP:

    Wouldn't that have been a great one to transcribe?  Not because of who it is, but just due to the type of the surgery he had--open brain surgery with intermittent wakeful testing.  I've been an MT for about 27 years, majority in acute care (now clinic--boring), and I absolutely love doing OPs.  I really enjoy doing long, complicated, interesting operative reports like I'm sure this one was. 


    Gruesome?  Maybe , but well wishes to the senator in any case.


     


    Ahh, your post sounds political
    Why not keep the snappy remarks to the other board? I doubt he was the original one to think this up. Get over it.
    I'm not the other poster, but speaking of TV and political correctness.
    I can't stand those stupid shows where the guys are just big dumb oxen that everyone belittles and puts down.  I won't watch the old TV shows where women were portrayed as ignorant either.  Especially Archie Bunker.  I see no humor in that character.  Lately, all the men on TV are gay and the women are all foulmouthed tramps.  I pretty much don't watch TV any more.  Just because you watch it on TV doesn't mean that's how society truly is, either.
    Are we discussing talent or political persuasion?

    In my unbiased opinion, I say Babs has a better singing voice.  I also think she's a good actress.  I think Celine is wonderful, as well; I just think Streisand's voice is stronger and a little better.
