I watch JJ too and I don't trust Sylvia Browne either sm

Posted By: me too on 2007-01-29
In Reply to: I watch Judge Judy and am not a crazy and do not like Sylvia Brown! :) NM - TM

If you go to YouTube you can find video clips of her on the Montel show where she totally messed up a reading for a woman. I believe her husband or son died in 9/11 attacks on the WTC and Sylvia said he drowned. Uhhhh whatever. There was another that can be found regarding parents and the loss of their daughter.

Sylvia sticks her foot in her mouth again.

By the way, if she has "saved" so many people, why don't we ever hear of any success stories? Just that SHE says she has saved them?

I'm a skeptic and I want proof.

Sylvia Browne
What does she do at her seminars? What's her format?
Sylvia Browne
First off, if you intend to speak of someone at least spell her name correctly.  It is Sylvia Browne with an "e".  I have watched/followed Sylvia Browne for many years.  Yes she makes mistakes -- they all do.  Even she admits she is only about 80% correct and no person with these types of abilities is correct 100% of the time just as we as MTs are not always 100% correct all of the time.  Bottom line is we are all only human.  She is right much of the time had has solved crimes, found missing children ect.  Everyone makes mistakes.  No one person is perfect.  I have done some of the exercises in her books and they have worked for me.  There is one in particular where you write a letter to the Universe/Spirit Guide and then burn it.  Everything and I do mean everything I asked for came about.  Don't knock it until you try it. Yes, I take everything with a grain of salt, but you cannot put aside all of the things she does get correct. 
Sylvia Browne
I did indeed watch that show you are talking about with the person who was killed in the 9/11 event.  However, I think you need to have heard the entire story.  Yes she said he drowned -- from the large amounts of water which was sprayed into the building to try and put out the fires ect.  Yes, it is possible to drown in a burning building from water ingestion.  Are you an MT -- research it.  A person can drown in as little as one inch of water. 
sylvia browne seminar
First off, better get there early cause there are a few hundred, at least in Los Angeles, and hard to find parking.  She talks about her experiences with the after life, spiritual word, her experiences in life..The stubs from your admission tickets are put in a bowl and she picks out about 20 or more (each time I have attended it has been a different amount)..then they call the numbers and each person stands up and asks a question..She then proceeds to answer the person about their life, looking into their soul and predicting..Its great..She got it right quite a few times.  The woman is great, a wonderful caring lady.
Glad you liked the post, I saw Sylvia Browne
here in Atlanta last year and she is due back next month again. She really makes a lot of sense when you listen and most of her show you are listening to her talk. Very intelligent lady, very insightful. I took her advice about the toxic relationships one can have around them regarding a son. I am far too past the age to let anyone, and I underscore that anyone, talk down to me, disrespect me, abuse me, disparage me. I say what I want because I tell the truth and find that is a good way to live. You say the people speaking to you are related to you. They, most of all, should be giving you a boost rather than saying hurtful things to you. You say you have her books. Read them carefully. I have even seen her on Montel say exactly the same thing she said in her show about toxic people. My son, his wife and their children live less than 30 minutes from me but I do not call, do not go that way, am so much happier now. I did everything I could for them and finally just gave up and threw in the towel. They know where I live, my phone # and if they want to, they can contact me- otherwise I am just a happy clam here in my home. Good luck and get that chin up!!
I watch Judge Judy and am not a crazy and do not like Sylvia Brown! :) NM

LOVE ER!!! I watch the re-runs every day, and watch the new ones on Thursday night!!

Ms. sylvia
What a quack! Guess she'll always having a loyal following of crazies! Bet these are some of the same people that watch judge judy, cheaters, the jetsons, etc etc.....
Sylvia

Just checking back in to say that I respect your right to admire Sylvia Brown. I am a democrat in the land of the free -- thus I have no desire to condemn someone for thinking differently.  the original post caught my eye and I just wanted to comment. Be happy!


 


Sylvia Brown

I have never trusted that woman. She answers too quickly.  Other psychics will stop and listen, or honestly say they don't know.  S. Brown has an answer for everyone. I think she just wants to sell books.  I heard that she told the kidnapped Missouri  boys parents that he was dead between two rocks. She said the culprit was dark, Hispanic, and had dreadlocks. That is a horrible thing to make up and tell parents who have a missing child.  I prefer the guidance offered by Gary Zukow. He is not a psychic but he talks about living your life in harmony also.


 


I also hear Sylvia say the boy
was dead.  I also heard her say when Michael Jackson was on trial that he would be found guilty, she announced it on Montel's show.  Well he got off and is traveling the globe now.  Also I heard her say something about Elizabeth Taylor not living out 2006.  Well she is still here also.  I am disappointed with Sylvia.  She answers too quickly and I don't think any one person has all the answers that she seems to have.  I think she is making a bunch of money. 
So what do we do, not trust?
I too went cross country twice at 17 and 19.  Met lots of good people.  It is just an unfortunate thing that happened and you cannot blame the girl.  So what do we do, not trust men anymore?  This boy and his two friends know what happened.  My prayers and thoughts are with Natalees family.
Hi Trust Me...
If you send me your e-mail address we can talk off-line. We have been with MDI about the same time. Do you do radiology or acute care? I do acute care and this winter we had a lot of weekend bonuses on my account which was short staffed. If you post a question like below on this site, you will not get the answers you need. I am sure I can help you if you send me your e-mail.
Trust me, there is nothing
that anybody can post on this board or any board that would make me feel any less self worth.  If anything, reading some of this idiotic remarks gives me a feeling of increases self worth.  Furthermore, the name that carries over with each post can be changed at any time. 
DO NOT TRUST JLG
Don't trust JLG, they are very dishonest and present themselves as above board. But they are not. Beware!!
You don't want to know....trust me
YUCK! JMO
Trust me when I say
That there are some MTs out there who DO NOT care. They do not take pride in their work, do not do the research and no matter how many times you tell them specific websites to use and other tools to use, they WILL NOT use them.

Most MTs are not this way and I think most QA realize this, but you have to understand that there are a handful of them (I deal with about 5 out of my 60-70 MTs) that are just ridiculous.

Yes, I can put in perspective and realize that it is part of the job but it does get frustrating sometimes!

MTs complain day in and day out about their horrible dictators and I think that you have to give QA the outlet to sometimes complain about the careless/non-caring MTs that they have to deal with as well.

There, I'm done. :-)
You act like that's the only job out there. It's not, trust me.

It will get much better, trust me on this. sm
It's much easier to relearn a skill than to learn a new one. You're just out of practice with your typing speed, that's all. And from what I hear, VR involves a different (very) use of an MT's skills than straight typing. As for the ESLs, some are better than others, and some good ole boy Americans are worse than any ESL I ever ran across back in the days when I was working.

Give yourself a little time to adjust to all this. If you find after a certain period of time--say, a couple of months?--that you still loathe the work, why, you can start looking for another job. :) Or check and see if you can start doing VR at least part time with your present company. Best of luck!
No one would trust that everyone
else would stop working too, so no one will do it. It was one thing when factory workers in a specific plant would decide something of that nature, but we are all over the place and have no contact other than this. How do you think that would ever work!?
Trust your instincts. You know best
what your needs, abilities and interests are. If you need or want to explore another career path, why not?
I would suggest some vocational testing either online or in person. Check around your city for vocational services. Whatever you do, don't let yourself feel trapped. Good luck.
Trust your instincts. If you don't think
they have their act together and can't find any other info, keep looking. Good luck.
Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM

You can't always trust websites. I have
googled something and have 3 or 4 spellings come up, therefore having to do more research. Books are your best get.
How well do you trust management
I would be concerned that they are getting their ducks in a row to outsource.
I hope your trust proves to be well placed.
And I'm glad to know you have looked into their background so that you can feel more comfortable with your decision to be charitable. Keeping you in my prayers. I wish you were my neighbor. For one thing, I like Shelties. For another, you seem like a person I would be proud to call a friend (and you'd set a very good example for my family--me included!).
Trust me, I thought about it, but yappy seems mean.

I don't want to get bitten.  And who knows what the "door lockers" would do if I actually stepped foot in their yard.


I'm giving it another week and then I'm calling the animal control officer that works for our local Humane Society so that he can come over and talk to them. No names involved that way and I've had neighbors all around tell me they can't stand it either.


Poor little pup.  I can't imagine tying my dog out like that.  Like I said in my earlier post, I wouldn't even get a dog until the backyard was fenced in.  He also has a "doggy door" and has been very well trained.  Even if he does get out of the fence if someone leaves the gate open, he sits and whines (not barks) at the door as if to say, "Helloooo, I'm not supposed to be out here."


AND, despite the fenced in backyard, we take our dog for walks too. The yard is only so big and he needs regular exercise. 


Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have a dog.


I don't trust myself. I set the clock or I know I'd wake up 4 hrs later.

Also, wondering if people trust him...sm
The mayor said he said, "get out," but alot of people did not. Don't know too much about this mayor, but maybe his people don't trust him. But then again, maybe the people in that area just hear the words "evacuate" alot, and nothing really happens, so they ignore the warning.

I can understand how alot of people did not leave. I'm talking about those who did not have cash, access to a car, or those who have no relatives elsewhere. I've got a family now, but in my single days, faced with those restrictions, I probably wouldn't have known what else to do but stay.

The people I'm wondering about are the ones who rode that horrendous storm out, have flooded houses even long after the hurricane passed, but still want to stay in their house, and not be rescued. I don't think they really know the conditions or understand the problems to come.

Just me, but did anyone else cringe every time the major said the G-D word? I can stand most curse words, but G-D is my most hated word. I understand that this mayor wanted to get his thoughts emphasized, but I don't think there's ever a reason to say G-D, and on public TV no less!
Trust me, I wouldn't transfer -
I just wanted to know where this LA la land was. I wasn't trying to be nasty. I am very frustrated with all this BS going on. The the majority are unhappy and a handful of happy people - doesn't make sense. If they would operate every office the same, it would certainly cut down on the unhappy versus happy MTs. I'm glad your happy and got an awesome account - I felt that way about them for many, many years. I am not miserable with them, I just think that we should be treated as people and every office equal.
For one thing, no car until she gets a job AND EARNS your trust and the car.
If she's going to lie and teach her little brother to lie, she's setting a bad example and needs to be punished, not rewarded. As for drawing trashy boys, does she have low self-esteem and dress and act trashy? She reaps what she sows.
He loves me despite my faults and I know I can trust him.

I don't trust disk cleanup

A lot of times it will list files for removal that really shouldn't be removed - I would rather err on the side of caution and remove things myself.


But that's just me.


That is weird. Sounds like there are trust
s
I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
Talk about inviting trouble in the door!

I don't like Vista's search either. I don't trust it. sm
I am using Google Desktop and I have used Copernic. Both fast. As far as the Help feature in Vista, it isn't good because the help feature in XP wasn't and they didn't do much to improve it. Otherwise, I like Vista fine. It just takes some getting used to like switching to any new operating system.
5 cpl is an excellent rate to do VR. Trust me...
I have been offered anywhere from 1.5 cpl to a whopping 4 cpl, even with years of experience until I found Transcend. I like my job with them a lot and they pay the best for editing. The work can get sporadic on a few accounts and I suspect this is because they sending it to India. This is something they do not hide. I'm not anti-India or anything, but I would like assurance that I have work, which is tricky sometimes.
Well then probably you need to find a group of MTs who you know and trust...
because unfortunately when you get people who don't know each other this will happen...
I am a supervisor and trust me you don't just send emails and
take it easy. There is a lot of responsibility to it and it is a stressful job.


Trust me I would if it didnt feel like someone took a hammer

Don't trust PayPal as they took unauthorized money

out of my checking account causing checks to bounce, overdraft fees, etc. that gave me no option but to close my checking account and open one in a different bank. It took 9 months of paperwork before I was finally reimbursed by my former banking institution for all fees as well as the monies that PayPal withdrew from my account without my authorization.


PayPal, however, took no responsibility for their error.


I am in hopes that there is another way to donate without giving your information to a site that is unsecure, such as PayPal.


Several programs out there. You have to trust them or do a hand count! :) nm

I was going to say to trust yourself and not re-read everything you type, but within the time
it took me to read your post and then go check my mail, I received my monthly QA report and had two errors where I didn't pay attention and put "female" instead of "male".  Talk about feeling like a complete airhead!  Just goes to show you that you're going to make dumb mistakes no matter how long you've been at this or how much you trust yourself.
De-identifying my eye. I don't trust ANYTHING that AAMT does. Nice try, but I can't buy.

I could NEVER trust myself around 10,000 candy corn, or even 100! they'd be gone in no time

but I would lie and say your wart is very becoming on you....in return for maybe 10 candy corn and about 5 of those pumpkin things


They have always done well by me. I don't trust the computer phone systems. sm
If my computer goes out, them my phone goes out and how will I call them?  I prefer to have my eggs in several baskets.  Computer and TV cable on the same line.  Phone on a land line, Verizon.
Good communication, help with problems, trust -
and when one employee does something wrong, address that employee, don't email everyone as if everyone was guilty.  It gets so depressing when all you hear is complaints.  By the same token, when someone does something right, when an account is happy with their work, let the Transcriptionist know.  All we get is bad feedback, what mistakes we've made.  Most of us are pretty isolated - would be nice to have positive reinforcement for a change. 
good communication; trust on both sides; and --sm
not doing everything possible under the sun to cut the transcriptionists line counts at every turn. I get REALLY irritated with that. I need to make a living too.
very substanard, and don't trust the character line.

actually I buy I bonds, can't trust myself with a savings account

Thanks, I did Google it but trust people on here as you are all "experts" - Thanks!!
