Haven't heard in years. Supposedly making it harder to get money

Yoko Ono wears designer clothes and shows up at all the fashion shows. Phony.

sure i was. i'm making fun of the people who are making a case for background checks, etc
to do medical transcription at home as if they may do something AWFUL with the info they receive. So if you want an invasion of privacy let's REALLY invade it and make sure fat chicks don't transcribe because they are so busy eating they can't get the work done, they mess up the keyboard with food and if they are provided health insurance they will raise the rates for the company sky high because their health risks are higher than others. Then there are the psychological issues overweight people bring to the table. After we eliminate fat people, we can go on to eliminate diabetic people who may have low blood sugar while typing and go into a spell and type the wrong thing. I could go on and on through the process of elimination. How about prescribed medications that may cloud your thinking? So you take Ambien to sleep but you have an Ambien groggy hangover when you are transcribing? Should they transcribe. How about your teens are on your last nerves and you take a Xanax? Should you be allowed to transcribe?
The first season...
comes out on DVD on Valentine's Day. What a great gift that would make! I don't watch much TV myself, but I try to never miss an episode of Grey's Anatomy or House.
i go through it too - hopefully the season where
you live is almost over - thank goodness mine is - hope you feel better soon!
favorite season

Hi


My season is definitely fall.  I am up here in northern Maine and it is so pretty with the leaves changing, etc.  Of course then comes all the snow - and I don't even mind the cold or the snow but since I am getting to be "old and brittle" I am scared of the ice.  However, I really am looking forward to October. 


 


Season 2 out on DVD Aug 30th!

Recap for the first season (sm)
It really is a great show. Love the chemistry on the show between the cast & the story line is never boring. Can't wait until next week!
I have only been at this for about a year so this is my first tax season as an IC..how much SM
income do you have to report as earnings or do you have to report everything? My first job was with a company that was really really hateful. I only made 60-70 dollars from them and then I quit. Do I have to claim that as taxable income or not? I go to H&R block and they charge per form that you turn in...that would bite to pay 100 bucks to claim 60 or 70!!! Thanks for the input!
I think this entire season is going to be -
while he is in the hospital and how the business continues without him.  We won't know if he makes it until the last episode.  Gotta feelin' he won't.  The show will die with him.  - 
funny cuz I think this season was....NM

ER t.v. show; is season done?

The last one I saw was the shootout and have not seen any since.  Did I miss one or was that it for the season?  (If I missed one don't tell me what happens.)  Thanks!


I do too, but the season premier was a let down.
d
Give me any season that the temperature is

75 or below all the time and I love it. I don't like hot weather and can stand the cold much better. After all, I can always put on enough clothes to stay warm but I can't necessarily take off enough (not legally, anyway, LOL) to get cool.


Anyone who would watch this season again would be masochist!

another hint for loney this season

After your little one gets off to school, head for the nearest Mc'D's or Burger King..lot's of nice working guys stop in for breakfast on a regular basis. 


My sister actually met her new hubby by doing this and he gathers with his buddies every morning.  He is an awsome guy and of course, working


Height of hurricane season is Aug-Oct. (SM)
A friend booked a FL vacation during September. Told her don't do it.  She still did.  She had to cancel the entire vacation and "could not believe a hurricane hit."  I always told family/friends to never go anywhere in the Atlantic, Gulf, FL, islands during hurricane season but they book it anyway because it's cheaper, then they complain about hurricanes ruined their plans.  DUH!
Monday's season finale
I taped Sunday's show and watched it tonight, and immediately watched tonight's show. I can't believe what Izzie did. I certainly was glad I could buzz thru the boring part about planning the prom so I could get to the important parts. I thought Denny was safe, but not so fast. Very tender how what's-his-name intern picked Izzie up and held her at the end. I'm furious that Meredith and Derek are back at it. She's weird, self-absorbed, childish, ugly, and slutty, so get over her already, Derek! You so don't deserve your wife!

Glad I don't get overly involved in mere TV shows like some people, hehehe.
I agree that it's weak this season...sm
and if Katharine wins I'm going to need a barf bag. I can't imagine she'd sell records to anyone other than the guys who want to look at the picture of a pretty girl. She always looks so stuck-up and stuck on herself and my fiance and I still think that someone in her family line made Simon & Randy apologize to her when they did 3 weeks ago. I hope Taylor wins but doubt I'd buy anything he'd record either.

In order to keep the voting fair they really should make it 1 vote per phone number - that way we'd know who really was liked by the public and not who had the most people using the automated programs to vote hundreds of times for them.
Just stay away from Florida during hurricane season. nm
:)
I was a recap of the first season to bring you up to date.
Another show did that recently too.  Next week starts the new season and yes, she lost the baby (ectopic if I remember correctly).
I watch the season DVDs through Netflix.
If I start watching a series, I really get frustrated when I have to miss, and I cannot be certain I will be able to watch it straight through.  My life is so hectic I am not certain I could watch a whole show without interruption.  I watch the season DVDs through Netflix.  I get to watch them commercial free.  Yes, I watch them later than everyone else, but it is less frustrating for me this way. 
Yeah and it pretty much stinks so far this season.

The 2-hour season finale is on tonight! nm

anybody bored with this summer? favorite month/season?
too hot to do anything.  give me late september or early october please.
Totally not MT related, but where is the new season of Fear Factor on NBC? nm

We have propane and hubby pre-orders and pre-pays for the season, sm
Most economical way for us to go. Turn temp down to 65 overnight and use lots of blankets overnight. Use humidifier. The humidity helps the air feel warmer.
I agree also - I have quit watching this season altogether.

Sports - 1 sport a season. Fall = football for son and volleyball for daughter. sm
Their class load and homework is enough; however, the love sports and are great at too. So, I allow one sport per season, meaning Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Fall = football and volleyball.

Winter = swimming and winter volleyball.

Spring = Lacrosse for both.

Summer = whatever they choose.

They choose what they want and if they choose not to do a sport any particular season, that is fine with me. They do not go out on school nights and their weekend activity is limited due to their sports. It works, and they stay out of trouble and both are on the honor roll.

Too many activities is just too stressful both all. My kids will tell me when they feel burnt and need a day off and I am fine with that. I tell them to stay home that day from practice.

It works for us.
You realize by doing that they're making more money & you're making less? You should reconsid

'Tis the season for fresh asparagus, steamed or roasted, or spinach sauteed with garlic. Yum! nm

I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
I can't see where that shows that at all....
xx
Boy that shows you what I know
I though it was only the MALES that sprayed.
shows
Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Lost, Alias, Medium, The Amazing Race.  I'm with you will really miss Judging Amy, American Dreams and Joan of Arcadia.  The new Ghost Whisper looks like it might be good.
Yes it does because it shows us where you are,
x
It will be new shows. DH saw a
commercial about it a couple of weeks ago.  I couldn't figure out the show this past Sunday.  I only saw a little bit, but I didn't remember some of the events.  Can't wait for it to start back.  That is the only TV program I watch during the week. 
No I don't like any of those shows or that
dumb Maury Povich. I am sick of all of these paternity tests and all of that screaming, cursing and violence.

This isn't entertainment nor does it represent most of our country.
Shows

I tried to get tickets to O but they were sold out.  Thank you all for your suggestions. 


I usually do not like reality shows, but this one I
have to see. I love that show!! I do feel sorry for the wannabe chefs dealing with Chef. I gotta say I am watching tonight, the finale!!
Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
AAMT BOS shows 250,000, as does

Talk shows

I thought about it as I do quite a bit of transcribing different types of seminars but when I saw what they charge people for a transcription of the show I thought boy they must not pay much as it does not cost much to get a transcription of a show, less than $20.  So they must have some type of automated transcription as for a 8 hour seminar I get anywhere from $500 to $750 and for a three day seminar I get close to $2000.  Per line charge.  But is frustrating to do sometimes as the audio is not the greatest at time.


But that was my thoughts on the subject.


Maybe if they shows some respect
There are plenty of good MTs out there who are constantly getting robbed by the poor pitful management people you are defending. They ship our work overseas, leaving me without work which takes money out of my hands. They force us to take on bad accounts that they committed to and have to lie about because they are so bad (bait and switch) and I can't get my lines strictly because of poor management, unsympathetic management, unprofessional management. I would love to stay with the same company, but I'm forced to leave because I have bills to pay and management does not give a xxxxx about that.
They put this on and took off good shows like (sm)
Joan of Arcadia, they also took off Point Pleasant for those of us pulling for the good in Christina. Shows over good and evil have been going on like forever... Hello people. But Book of Daniel just deals with life today in a cynical way. Joan of Arcadia said something.
When will the reality shows end?? and...
Who keeps paying for them? Come on America!! How about quality not quantity? Shameful, I think.
When they have bad/boring shows
it seems like there are new bottom 3 people chosen.  I thought Mandisa had a good voice, but country was not her best (as the case for many of them).  Also, poor song choice.  Next week they sing Queen songs.  I've been recording the shows because they're just not as good as they have been.  I think Paula needs to cut down on her medication.  She's beginning to slurrrrrr her words again.
