should've been good laugh not could laugh

I hate to admit this, but the one good thing I learned Focus Infomatics
was the Escription platform. Trust me, that is the only good to come of it. I think even if you get a few months under your belt, you'd be better off for it.
Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.

Need a good laugh? Here goes...

My friend e-mailed me information on this guy posted on a singles dating site.  Here's the scoop on him:



  •  Hasn't worked in over 2 years but "looking as I've run out of money."

  • Wife died theoretically suddenly in September.

  • He's losing his home next month to foreclosure and is looking to move anywhere he can. 

I reckon' that since he has a pulse he considers himself a good catch, eh ladies?  Sounds like a true moocher to me who is looking for someone with a home that he can move into and probably expect you to pay the bills!   I'll stay single forever as opposed to letting someone like that into my life.  I don't know many people who have a spouse die suddenly that are looking to hook up with another person within 2 months... much less the other red flags!  My friend wasn't serious that I should be interested in him - she just thought that I'd appreciate the fact that at least I'm not THAT desperate to hook up with someone!


I pop on there now and then when I want a good laugh. Most of

the videos posted are absolutely ridiculous.


Nobody posts there, but we should. A good laugh is
essential for well being.  I've posted there, but it is obvious that nobody bothers to check it out.  So fellow MTs.  Add your stuff to the Comedy Stop and have a good laugh once in a while.
Thanks for the good morning laugh! LOL. nm

Just laugh - and say oh, good luck with that.! nm

LOL! Thanks for making my day! I have never had such a good laugh as I did when reading those

.


A good laugh - life is still precious!
If this doesn't make you laugh - nothing will.

Okay-I admit it!!!
I to have been known to try and give advice based on what doctors have recommended to family members but by no means do I say "do this, do that"--I just say this is what some of the doctors I transcribe for have recommended.  I guess it is my nosy nature-I think that is one of the reasons I love MT.  I can be nosy without anybody really knowing-haha.  Actually, I dont call myself nosy (my husband does), I just tell him I am aware of my surroundings and there is nothing wrong with that. 
I must admit...
My lawn IS looking "perkier" now! LOL. Maybe we'll get some of the "bluegrass" back from the "crabgrass"...
They do have a TON of ESL and admit it! nm
nm
But the pay is too low you have to admit
nm
Yep, they admit it.
z
I admit it, at least a pot or more. nm
nm
lol, just admit it already ;0

Unfortunately you admit you are not the
*best spellers or *and expert in grammer* and this is a big part of what MTing is all about. A great MT has an excellent or above average grasp on the English language, grammar and a knack with spelling/words. Perhaps this field is not for you.
I admit, I do not know a ton about these two, but - sm
can you, as a work around, copy them onto a word document and then copy them from word onto the new platform?  It is just a thought, like I said I do not know a ton about either, but I thought I would throw that out there.
I have to admit...
I'm not cranking out the lines like I usually would. I'm doing my one fussy account, but the other one I'm letting get a little behind. It's hard to work up the motivation to work when you aren't getting paid, you know?
I am glad to see this I have to admit
I was beginning to think I was the only one out there who thinks this company is just like all the rest, including pay, platform, accounts, etc. They switch me without asking me and I refuse to do the work. Not for that lousy pay!!
Altho I must admit...
Barbra actually did that duet with Celine, so perhaps even SHE likes Celine better! I can't win!
I'll admit this only because I'm

  I actually have a little TV just to the right of my desk. I'm always at my desk it seems, so I have the TV on all day long. As hard as it is to admit, and like I said, I'll do it only because I'm anonymous, I have the "judge shows" on my TV all day long. I feel like admitting that I read the Enquirer or something, lol. I used to have Starting Over and then the ABC soaps on, but I needed a change of pace so I hang out with judges all day.  Right now, I'm working and watching Dancing with the Stars...and I'm usually sitting here working and watching Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, and other favorites.


admit what??? get off my back and look to yourself.
nm
LOL! We sure date ourselves when we admit we know
s
If I were you, I wouldn't admit to that.
Merry Christmas, dear.
seriously, you must admit there is some truth to what is said; there are many like that.
nnnnnnm
LOL ... have to admit I get a bit of evil satisfaction from that too. :-) nm

OK, if you'll admit to it. Are you a smoker? sm
................and if you quit, how did you do it? 
i guess it's easier for you not to believe me than admit you are wrong.

i don't follow all your posts so i don't know if you like girlie men or not but in any case you are dead wrong about trolling and you can wrap your brain around that.  i have no reason to lie on an anonymous board to anonymous people.  on the other hand you have a reason to not believe me because your ego is involved.  too bad sometimes people can learn if they push their ego and need to be right at any cost aside. 


 


ps:  you are 100% dead wrong on me trolling and i really don't think you understand the concept.  once you accept you aren't that smart, you can continue to learn grasshopper.


I must admit I would resort to something like that. Love my dogs and everyone else's but enough
enough. We have 2 dogs and neither are barkers. I think that is the first thing I teach them. They don't even bark to go outside, just sit by the door. We did have a German Shepard once who was a terrible barker, the neighbors called the police, etc. We bought one of those shock collars, put it on her when she was out and wow, what a difference. She only wore it during the day when she was out. We brought her in when we came home, the collar came off, and she stayed in during the night. Unfortunately for us, our neighbor, 2 doors away, worked midnights, so it bothered him. It didn't stop her completely but it sure helped the incessant barking. Of course, the neighbor didn't want to make any noise, period. I wouldn't recommend them for a small dog or older dog, though. As far as the hose goes, congratulations. My neighber has a dog who ambushed both my dogs, bit the older dog and terrorized the puppy, twice. The next time that dog was going to get the hose as I knew there would be a dogfight. The owner would have gotten it too, I have enough guts for that. Big brother golden retriever hates it when another dog comes by his little cocker spaniel brother. We resorted to a fence and now the dog doesn't even come in our yard. Darn, couldn't try the hose.
I have never heard anyone so outright admit to prejudice like that..sm
I used to live in Virginia. I am not prejudice, BUT what I experienced there taught me some differences. I noticed that quite a few black people DID have attitudes and were actually quite prejiduce themselves. I was very amazed at this. At one time, we had gone to a video store. All blacks running the store. Our family and another white family were there and they REFUSED to wait on this. Now, while I understand the issues of the PAST, I think it silly to blame THIS generation for what was done by ancestors in past generations. I ended up calling the district manager and the entire store was RESTAFFED from Manager DOWN. I also had a lot of black friends in Virginia. I think what it comes down to is no matter what race you are, you got some people who are ***holes and some not..black, white, asian, etc. You also have people who are prejiduce..blacks against whites, asians against black..it doesn't matter. Its very sad.
I hate to admit it, but ME TOO! That is the only TV show I watch.
Gotta keep basic cable so I can watch my one TV show per week.
JD was definitely a cocky one, but he was clearly the best performer, IMO. And I hate to admit that.
x
Yeah, I have to reluctantly admit that could be the case, but SM

I'd bet my last dime this is not something that's being dictated intraoperatively. The sentence IS bad to begin with and the whole thing could have been said so much more clearly, like: "...further bleeding would necessitate a hysterectomy" or "further bleeding would result in a hysterectomy"


Your point is taken though.


OK...I am secret Days fan. I would never admit it to my family.
She is right!  I would toss his rear out too.  I just hate that Chelsea.  What about Belle and Shawn??  Phillip is an idiot.  Will Mimi tell?? dun dundundunnnnn :)  If my husband or kids knew I watched soaps they would laugh me out of the house.  I would never live it down, but it is fun.  Now I started watching Passions too.  No wonder I can't seem to get anything done
Would love to help newbies, I was one myself (way too long ago to admit to)...
but set hours might be hard to do, I'd want to know that I would have at least 3-5 hours a day with a newbie in order to make it worthwhile. If she learns and works out - raises of course. I've been there too!
I don't think it is cruel to admit your remaining parent - sm
into a nursing home. Those that think its terrible are just concerned with appearances I think, that and guilt themselves if they ever thought about it. My mom put her mom in a nursing home after she could not care for herself. My grandma actually thrived there. They got her off all her medication and she was felt a lot better, even got engaged to get married again, but broke it off shortly before she died. We lived in PA and her mom in FL. My mom's (adopted) family thought she was such a terrible person for putting her "mom" in a nursing home. My mom's adopted parents did not treat her well at all, would never tell her much about the adoption when she eventually found out about it in the 1950s (smell of scandel somewhere, this was 1935) and my grandparents never really ever wanted children. Needless to say my mom has a less than ideal childhood but she took care and upheld her "responsibilities". Some people take in their parent(s) because they want to make sure the $$$ if there is any stays in the family (or goes to them). I know that is the wheel turning in my DHs brain about his parents, though he says they would never re-marry after the death of the other. His mom has told me she will not remarry, but you never know do you. I think he is wrong about his dad though, I think his dad would do the exact same thing my dad did, i.e. remarry within a year of the mom/wife passing and say bye-bye to any substantial inheritence on a re-marriage. In my case I will "lose" (my husband's thinking) out on about $140K which my husband deeply resents unfortunately. It has caused a lot of distention in the last 2 years between me and my DH that is. I am cool with my dad, it's his life and money; and I have pointed out to him a zillion times that inheritence is a gift, not a right. But yes, to be honest it is disappointing, but as my DH expects to get close to $1 mil from his parents I think we will survive (in a way I hope they disinherit him). Greed can cause all sorts of problems. Along with responsibility comes motive in some cases. I do not want to take in either of my DHs parents, but his fear/greed will induce him to have whichever one is left move in with us probably in the next 5-10 years (they are 76 and 71 right now). Sad.
There's no way I'd even admit paying someone 2 cpl. I'd be moving out of your office too!l
2 cpl?? You should be ashamed. If your newbie even typed 250 lines an hour, which many seasoned MTs don't consistently do, that's only $5 an hour, not even minimum wage! These people just spent thousands to go to school! How do you sleep at night?

I have many MT friends, newbies and veterans and I have NEVER in my life ever heard of such a pathetic wage, if you can even call it that. In fact, two of my MT friends were hired by a hospital at $11.00.

I know a lady who has her own company that hires new grads at 9 cpl! She said she knows in 2 wks whether or not they have what it takes.

Maybe you should outsource to India because slavery ended in this country almost 2 centuries ago.
I will admit slim pickings, but boy, you sound angry.
zz
I agree with her 100%. sounds like you dont want to admit QA needs to fix things
No one is saying you are a bad QA person, just that she is getting conflicting results and it should be one standard, not 2 or even 3.

No one is bashing anyone. You are bashing yourself by saying you stink. I have been in this position before and went straight to the QA person and talked about it. They explained to me that sometimes its a preference of style.
And will you admit there are plenty of wannabe service owners also?
nn
His/her posts are annoying to you, becasue he/she knows more than you and beats you, admit it....nm
nm
QA means knowledgeable, not infallible or perfect -- As a new QA'er, I will be the first to admit
have things to learn, even though I've been doing MT for a long time. 
Kind of ashamed to admit I threw daughter's card away
I know some will call me petty. We haven't ever had the best relationship because she has been a difficult kid since grade school. Just really, really hard to deal with and nasty much of the time. I keep trying and trying and trying and trying. I help her out financially when I can, watch the baby every day while I'm trying to work, too.  I had tears picking out a card for her, and I put some money in there with a little note to treat herself. Yes, I took the money out and tossed the card. I know it sounds harsh, but I feel like I keep putting forth the effort and barely get a thank you in return. Instead, I get a "what's your problem?" Now my son..I can deal with. At least he treats me with some kindness and he tries.
Please don't laugh....sm
Do not use suppositories vaginally......

If you are not vomiting, also, try something oral. If you are, patience I'm afraid is the only answer unless you become dehydrated, at which time you can receive something IM or IV.

But, a definite NO on the suppository question.

Feel better soon!
A little laugh

I told my 18 yo son today about a close family friend and his wife had a baby boy today and that he called me right away to let me know because he was so excited.  My son looked at me and said, "Yeah right mom, really, he had a baby today."  I looked right back at him and said, "Yes son, it takes both people to have the baby, a girl certainly can't get pregnant by herself!" 


This is funny to me because I know my son not sexually active yet (remember I know his girlfriend) and I certainly didn't expect to hear something like that, just reminded me of the little boy my young man still is. 


For a laugh
and to see if any other MTs had times where they didn't want to disturb their beloved pets during a workday and made the same sacrifice. Lighten up. Was just a funny moment, that's all.
laugh
great1!!! loved it!! he he he. LOL.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh!
