all in a row.  Plus, the divorce surely is adding to that.  As far as Angelina, don't blame her.  If Brad was in love with his wife, he wouldn't have strayed.  Plus, it obviously isn't just an "affair."  It seems they are developing a relationship.  Also, don't forget, Angelina was the victim of a cheating husband and had her heart broken, so she knows that pain.  I think Brad and Jennifer spent too much time apart.  And he does have a history of falling in love with his co-stars - Gwyneth and Juliette to name two.

    Woolworth's 5&10, Sat.afternoon at the movies - 2 movies for the price of 1

    We actually had some old 8 mm movies...

    put on video (some years back) and they must have thought we were a bunch of hicks because to go along with our vintage 1960s era Christmas morning movie, they put the movie to music, of all things, Turkey In The Straw.  I actually went on E-bay and bought an old projector that plays 8mm and super 8mm and we watch all the old movies on an old projector.  It's fun, but I know they will deteriorate eventually.  Nothing more weird than seeing my mother at age 27 (5 yrs before I was born), dragging on a cigarette.  She quit when I was 3, so I have no memory of this.  Old movies are so much fun.


    He has been in a lot of movies and was
    voted People Magazines Sexiest Man Alive this year.
    movies
    That's a difficult one - probably would include From here to eternity (the original), i'm telling my age!   Cape Fear, urban cowboy!
    fav movies
    1. The Frenchman and the Beautician
    2. Top Gun
    3. Meet The Fockers


    movies
    I also loved history of violence, I didn't think I liked that main guy in an old movie, but he was quite good! And I think william hurt played an excellent mean person (is that a compliment??)
    Seen any good movies lately?
    I liked The Pacifier and National Treasure.  We are planning on having an outdoor movie night using a white sheet nailed to the side of the house and a projector to the DVD player on the computer, but I can't think of anything good to rent.
    Scary movies
    Creature From The Black Lagoon.

    The original Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney.
    Pay per view movies
    Our pay per view channels are the 100's.  Your system might be different.  Our system is supposed to be connected to a phone line always, but a lot of the time it is not.  We can usually still order movies with our remote.  My SIL only has a cell phone now, so I do not know how she does it.  We select the channel with the movie that we want.  Press info.  You can arrow up to exit if you do not want to purchase the program, or press menu to purchase the program.  Our system is older, so yours may work a little differently.  W have learned to be very careful because it is easy to order a movie that you really do not intend to.  Sometimes you can go into purchases and cancel.  With some things, you cannot.  My husband, who is very technically challenged, sat there one night and accidently surfed where he did not belong and accidently rented some kind of special adult presentation.  We immediately tried to cancel, but were unable to do so.  You can also go online to rent a movie, which is also easy, or you can do so by phone.

    geesh - I'm older than dirt.......*LOL* 


    Drive in Movies sm
    I remember as a kid going to the drive-in movies with my mom hiding us in the backseat so as not to have to pay for all of us.

    As a kid I remember the amusement truck coming around and we could take a ride on the "whip" for $0.25.

    I remember when it was legal to open the fire hydrant and get wet during hot summer days. (Yes, I lived in a "city").

    I remember "Happy Days" was the hit show when I was a teen and the boys tried to look and be like the "Fonze".

    I also remember as a teen, a bag of Doritos was $0.25.

    Can you guess my age?
    (Hint - between 37 and 39) LOL.
    I love old movies too...

    Gentlemen Prefer Blondes


    Barefoot In The Park


    Gone With The Wind...I love them all!


    Well, I like his movies, so neener.
    /
    i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
    that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
    How do you order movies from Direct TV?
    I'm a fairly new subscriber to Direct TV and up until now when we wanted to watch a movie, we would just go to the video store and rent one.  I know Direct TV lets you order those movies from them and they put it on your bill and you get to watch the movie when you want to.  Do any of you do this and do you find it more convenient/more expensive?  Also, do you have to have a phone line to do this?  Exactly how does it work?  Thank you for the info and feeling a little dumb having to ask!
    what are your favorite top 3 movies of all time?
    1. A River Runs Through It
    2. The Notebook
    3. Bladerunner
    Some older movies, but good ones...

    The Life of David Gale...excellent movie...Kevin Spacey, I think...


    Mona Lisa Smile...Julia Roberts...I really liked this one, so did my teenage daughter...


    Forrest Gump, of course, one of my all-time favorites...we all know who he is (and the soundtrack is awesome)!!!


    Have a lovely weekend...


    Movies that are so bad they're good.
    I'm gonna check that one out. I love movies like that. Nicholas Cage in Vampire's Kiss - same story, very young, bad movie, but boy did he give it his all. Talk about over acting.
    Jack Nicholson movies
    He is my favorite actor and starred in two of the funniest movies I ever saw: Goin' South (which he also directed) and The Fortune (with Warren Beatty)--both hard to find but absolutely hilarious!
    You want strange movies - check out the
    Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn was really a good one.  Also, I happened to come across a movie about 3 or 4 years ago that turned out to be one of my favorites - Last of the Dogmen with Tom Berringer and Barbara Hersey - I HIGHLY recommend this movie - It's not a war movie but I don't want to tell you what it's about because it would ruin the surprise.
    Typing Captions for TV&Movies
    Does anyone here type captions?  I want to know more about this, as I was watching TV w the captions on and wondering who types the words.   I wonder if you just get to watch TV and type what you hear all day long...that would be so sweet. 
    totally agree on Heston movies....nm

    Top 100 inspiring movies on tonight, CBS, 8-11pm. nm
    s
    I was watching one of the Freddy movies where the girl was pregnant.
    Anyway, I slept in the basement and my parents slept upstairs. It was about midnight when I was watching this Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Our dogs were in the kennel next to my bedroom and started whining. I heard something thump in the ceiling of my bedroom, so I hightailed it upstairs to sleep on the couch. The next morning, we saw what looked like a coiled up snake inside the fluorescent light fixture in my bedroom. It was a studded dog collar and a rusty butcher knife inside the fixture. How it got there, we don't know but it wasn't there before I watched the movie. We can only guess that someone or something was after me that night. I stopped watching scary movies for about 15 years after that. Now, to see snippets of the Nightmare movies, they're so lame and fake.
    Watch the original, its funny too- one of my favorite movies - sm
    George Segal and Jane Fonda-- curious about the remake.
    Same theme, but CBS on Wed. is to review the top 100 inspirational movies. Should be good! nm

    How could you forget Tom Hanks?? I've loved all of his movies

    I used to love scary movies but now I can't even consider watching them. Guess I've changes i

    Yeah! We would go to the movies for 75c - triple feature horror flicks -
    Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Of course, we were too busy 'making out' to watch the movies! That is, until the usher came by a shined the flashlight on us!
    I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)

    If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference!  Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?


     


     


    because they are not as bad as they are made out to be sm
    I would be willing to bet the majority of people posting negativity about MQ have been fired by them! I've been with MQ for over four years and am very, very happy. My check is always on time, sometimes early, I always have work, my coordinator is great, I can't say enough good about them. I would recommend you at least give MQ a chance. I admit, I was disappointed when they called me, but at the time, I just needed a job, so reluctantly I accepted their offer. Now four years later, I'm so glad I did. Everyone has their own opinion and experience about each company, and the same is with MQ. Not everyone will be happy there, but I certainly am. Good luck to ya!
    made some changes...let's see

    yes...you made my day..:-)
    Thank you so much...works like a charm.
    I have definitely made more
    Plus, it saves on the hands and wrists. I never want to go back to straight typing. Still enjoy straight typing, and do about 70% VR editing and 30% typing. Love it.
    You have just made me $$$
    Yea!!!
    I have to wonder if this is made up BUT if you are
    be appreciative of the opportunity to become a superior MT by the QA guidance. If you allow yourself to fall into that pit of self destructiveness by playing 4th grade _the teacher hates me/likes me more than you_ routine, you only do yourself harm. Ask yourself...by having the information that someone is _getting away_ with something you can't, how can you _win_? You win by your superior skills. You learn and you thrive and if you need to, you move on. In the meantime, you learn things that you should have taught yourself as the proper way to transcribe 15+ years ago.

    Someone who has been around for 20+ years and this was standard back then for quality MTing.
    5 yrs ago, I made as low as $26 K, as hi as

    Thank you. This just made my day.

    probably made her day! (nm)
    /
    But maybe if she made that $500
    AND talked to her mortgage lender....offered the $500....then maybe they would be more likely to work with her. It was a suggestion, and a fine one. Lets just help the girl out. OK!
    There are several. Most of them are made by
    Infinity, but can be wired to work with various systems, so just because it is Infinity doesn't mean it will work with one particular system.  If you don't already have a job that requires a pedal I would wait until you do.  Some pedals are configured to work with proprietary software and are only good for one program.   Some companies require serial port pedals, some game port, and some USB.  You can get adapters to switch them, though they aren't always easy to find. 
    Made changes
    Yes, I have made the changes you outlined. Unfortunately, stuff like wthi and placentia have gone right on through. I work with Instant Text and the Expander will not run at the same time as Instant Text. Even if I turn the expander on, the first time I use the IT, the expander shuts off. Thanks for the suggestions!
    MADE IN THE USA
    One more thing - does naybody else rememebr those commercials - made in the USA, and "buy American" - I do, instead of outsourcing lets bring back the USA pride, If I could I would use USA instaed of my initials on documents I transcribe.
    Sorry I am in a bit of a tizzy about outsourcing - just ranting, but mean every work of it
    YES!! I made $15/hr at my first MT job...
    and that was with excellent benefits back in 2001. I live in the midwest where the cost of living is very reasonable too. So, $12/hr for an experienced MT is awful! I only had experience as a medical assistant before becoming an MT and made more than that.
    I used to do this but made more as MT. Now I also

    LOL, you made my day. nm

    You just made my day:) sm
    You don't know how much I personally appreciate hearing you say that. So many people (even family) think that all I do is sit home in my jammies and straight "type." It's good to see someone who has an appreciation for how indepth the MT field actually is. You are awesome for making my day!
    THANK YOU! You made my day nm

    Most of us know by now that it's mostly made up.

    yep, that made my day. NM
    Thank you!
