Oprah show Monday-have you let yourself go?? sm

I must admit this is me ever since I started working at home 6 years ago. Too easy to do. 6 months since a decent haircut, too many kids to look after and too much work to get done. I thought others might appreciate thesubject matter. Happy watching.

I wonder if Oprah would show this?
Nobody gets the country outraged like she does!


I really do not like Oprah or her show! Who cares? !

Just e-mailed the Oprah! show
I just finished posting a comment to the Oprah! Show.  If/when (I'm an optimist!) I get a response, I'll be letting y'all know.  Happy Wednesday!  
I e mailed the Oprah show about a year ago sm
I got an automated response and that was it. I have always loved Oprah, but she is into helping kids in other countries, not so into helping here.
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

I think we should go on Oprah!
What a great idea!  I'm sure she also has healthcare experience.  I'm going to go on the website and see how to communicate with the show.  LATER.....
Just saw Oprah today. Dr. Oz said
no sugar, no enriched flour, no hydrogenated anything, no saturated fats, and I forgot the other thing.  Also walk 30 minutes every day, even if the world is coming to an end, you need to walk 30 minutes a day.  If you go to Oprah's website there may be better info there. 
what will India do now? on Oprah

just happened to catch a small piece - Indian women are surrogate mothers for women in US who cannot/will not get pregnant - 6000.00 going rate.


I am scared at the simple thought that this record goes straight from the doc (whom we all know can say/type wrong thing, i.e. right versus left) and no one to catch errors - straight to record.


Or Oprah! That would spread everywhere!

oprah and david letterman
From what I could see on the Today Show this a.m. they showed Oprah and David and they did kiss and make up and everything is fine with them. David Letterman even walked Oprah to across the street where she was appearing for something at the end of her appearance on the Letterman Show, both smiling away at the cameras
Nor I! He sure stepped in poop when he met Oprah!...nm

Lady on Oprah today who was

set on fire by her ex-husband.  It's an amazing story and brings tears to my eyes to hear her talk about how thankful she is to be alive and that beauty comes from within.  We could all take a lesson from her.


Amazing!


Matthew McCaughnahey will be on Oprah

Healthcare - Today's Oprah
THURSDAY'S SHOW: Sick in America: It Can Happen to You

For the first time on TV, the director of Sicko, Michael Moore, and a respected insurance lobbyist face off in a healthcare showdown. Then, Lisa Ling puts some insurance companies on the line. And a discussion of the one question we all need to answer.


It's Monday
I don't know about the rest of you, but I come here to gain insight, vent, laugh, commiserate, learn, and share.  Maybe we can start the week by ignoring the few that come on here to attack, belittle and chastise.  Constructive criticism is great as are differences of opinion. Isn't that what this site is supposed to be all about?  Name-calling and bullying are what we teach our children not to do.  When it happens TO our children, we tell them to ignore it. 

Monday was my day too!

Hey all...


Yes, it was a bad Monday.  I also was told they were replacing me with a service.  She had said that it would be easier with having the same service do the two doctors that I did, and would that be okay with me.   It made me sad because yes, I count on that money to make ends meet, but rather than beg and plead, I said okay, and she said it will be a month before changing over.   I was just hoping there might be a way I can counter offer and keep this account, but I haven't a clue how I might access the hospital system's dictation as an IC....they are wav files.   I do have my Start/Stop player.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.   I try to believe in the philosophy of when one door closes, another window opens....and that is a good way to think, but right now I am very depressed because this economy and surviving is getting so very tough.    Thank you....ps, I have been doing MT for 27 years now, so pretty late to start over elsewhere. 


I don't need to watch Oprah to know the answer to that question

years ago, I heard that Oprah Winfrey...nm

Try again Monday night.
I'll keep trying. 
Wow, a party on a Monday? Can I come?? (sm)
I'll bring food too; I'm a good coo, I swear I am!.
Monday Goals

I thought that it would be good if we use each week as a chance to improve ourselves.  We can each set a goal (it doesn't matter if it is big or small) and then we will share it with everyone to get us more motivation to complete it.

Here is my goal for this week:
I will do the dishes at least once this week.


A little background on this goal:  I hate housework.  I don't want SO to feel like I take advantage of him so I am going to try to make more of an effort around the house.


Anyone else with a goal and background for it?


Monday blooper

It was dictated as Allergies:  Sulfones. 


I transcribed "Allergies:  Cell phones"  . . . . until I realized what I'd done. 


Somebody beat me with a wet noodle!


It is NOT Monday, darn it!!!!
But it's going to be one of those days!  I had a doctor give the date of service as 4-8-05, and now I have one of the very worst ESLs ever dictating a colonoscopy, and he says the throat was sprayed with Xylocaine!  Think these guys have been hitting the eggnog a bit early?
I knew about the Killing Oprah On Her Couch thingy...
but never saw him get squirted! He simply was not happy with that man, wuz he? Ah, fame and fortune - it must B a drag!
Monday - I will lose an account

I just did the stupidest thing.  I could cry but it would not help.  I will lose this account due to my carelesness and not thinking.  I accidentally just erased two "undone" tapes and kept two "finished" tapes.   So on Monday I have to tell the doctor and if I were them I would fire me.   They have been my account for 4 years but have been patient with me at times through some personal problems -- yucky divorce -- and I do a good job at a very reasonable rate but I would not blame them if they fired me.  I just want to take myself out and beat myself silly.  But there is nothing I can do right now and so oneward and upward -- I guess.  But this will hurt as it is my largest account and I am a small MTSO so I will be out pounding the pavement for something. 


Thanks for listening.

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.
Thx for the laff on this dreary Monday! :) nm

well, I interviewed for an in-house job Monday
She said by today, Friday, she would let me know if I got the job.  She told me I was high on the list of being hired, but she was still interviewing.  It is already nearly noon and I have not heard a word.  I looked at the job board and the ad for an MT is gone.  Is that bad news for me? 
Is everyone relieved Oprah & David Letterman have kissed & made up?
Last night's show wuz so touching...
Monday night pet loss ceremony
So very sorry for your loss. Here's a great link:

http://www.petloss.com/ceremony.htm

Every Monday, people all over the world remember their pets. You can add your pet's name to their list.
Here is their prayer:

PRAYER: God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who are tending their ailing pets.
Give to them Your strength and comfort.
We also pray that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to surround our furbabies at the Bridge.

May excitement REIGN SUPREME as wagging tails, ecstatic purrs and flapping feathers feel our gentle touch once again.
May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered.
We are temporarily separated for only a short while.
The silver cord that connects us through time and space can never be broken.

AMEN.

Yup. Sun-Thurs. I do the Monday holidays. It's fine with me.

We were $2.42 on Monday - shot up to $2.99 today and expected....sm
to go well over $3/gallon because of the pipeline distribution problem.  The governor has declared a state of emergency and is urging folks to not drive anymore than necessary while they're getting emergency shipments of fuel in. 
How's your work load going Monday, January 9?
Just wondering if we are all in the same boat, sinking because of India oursourcing.
I needed the morning entertainment. My Monday will now be a better day!

I believe it is next Monday, the 19th, as the kids have off school for it.

Try the Hewlett-Packard site. On Monday they...sm
had computers with XP on sale.
Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
Is Monday, Feb 12, President Day? Brain dead this morning. nm

I saw Luther Vandross mention doing that a few years ago on Oprah. He must've ignited the craze!n

Ok, thanks. I guess I don't realize the volume of applicants they get. I will call Monday A.M.!!

Monday 8/22. Used to start after Labor Day, but the kids didn't get out until sometime in June.

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
I think this goes to show you that SM

when a person goes to another place with the proper attitude (respecting the culture already there, appreciating it and being open to new experiences) you can have a wonderful time.


I think sometimes we in the U.S. have such a need to fashion everything into OUR way of doing things it ruins our ability to appreciate different countries/cultures.


show
I love the show. I think the people learning to dance are very brave. I love George H. too! Looks like a lot of hard work and that it is definitely outside their comfort zone. Good for them!
This just goes to show you that when the
first letters are right and the last couple are right, the mistake is easily missed. No spelling police here, right!?!
It won't show up. it says
1. How much money did you make?
2. Send it to us.


Yes, I know how to show myself as
offline on instant messenger. Sorry, I misunderstood the post. That doesn't make someone stupid because they don't know how to, though. I had never even used instant messenger until about 3-4 months ago. It is a learning process and no one should ever be called stupid because they have not yet learned something.
New to the show
Only recently started watching this show. What is wrong with his leg and why does he pop all those pills?
