Sheri, can you at least file a claim

Posted By: Listenup on 2005-12-21
In Reply to: URGENT REQUEST: An MT that we sent a box of gifts to did not receive the package. - Sheri Steadman, Administrator

for the automatic $100 of insurance UPS has? I know it won't help immediately, but perhaps you can recover something.

Don't let him stiff you for the $ -- file a claim

If you paid with Paypal you can file a claim with them, just do it before

30 days is up.   If you paid via credit card you can file a claim with the credit card company, even if you paid via Paypal with a credit card.   You can also file a fraud charge with the U.S. postal service if the item went through them.    With the post office it would take a while to get your money though.   You can also notify the police in her state/county, though most likely they will take a report and that is it, unless this is a habitual thing and others have complained.  


Hopefully the administrator will be able to help you.  


Yeah. What's their point. What do they have to worry about. You can't file a claim against t
I think they need to get their facts straight.
No, I'm not Sheri.......but........
You asked this on a public forum. Do you honestly not expect any kind of response from others? Are you so single-minded that you actually believe that? Gimme a break.

You may choose to celebrate or not celebrate Christmas Day as most living humans do. That is certainly your choice. No one told you NOT to. So, why in the world would you post something like this, in this period of goodwill toward our fellow man, here?

Why must there always be someone who wants to start a conflict? Can we at least call a truce for Christmas, for Pete's sake? (And, yes, I know Pete and he has given me permission to use his name involving "sake"!)

Sheeesh.......
Thank you, Sheri.
There is so much subterfuge and backstabbing with some of our jobs these days, that it is rare and refreshing to have someone come and explain their views in a professional and thoughtful manner.  You are right, I guess it is inevitable that offshoring is here to stay...it just makes me feel really sad when I see what has happened to our industry.  We never did really receive the recognition that we deserve for the complexity of our profession and now, any faint remainder of dignity is completely gone.  I am just downhearted about the whole state of affairs.  Where does one go after wasting 30 years of one's life in a dead-end job?  I'm tired of fighting for the respect that never did materialize after all....
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Thank you Sheri for not catering in....sm

to the small percentage of people that have decided to try to take CHRIST out of Christmas.  Gimme a break.  I got an e-mail from a friend who recommends that everyone who believes it should be CHRISTMAS, not "happy holidays" or "holiday tree" etc. to send the ACLU a  CHRISTMAS card and tell them to leave our holidays alone.  Their address is: 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004


If people who want to celebrate CHRISTMAS flood them with cards then they'll have to open them - after all, they want to see if there are donations in them, correct?  Let them spend some employee time opening cards!  Also I wonder if the ACLU employees are required to work on Christmas?  How about New Year's?  After all - I'm sure that with every federally recognized holiday that someone out there is *offended" and therefore the ACLU should never be closed right???


For anyone who reads this and is offended by CHRISTMAS -  I supposed you're volunteering to work on December 25th so that those who do celebrate it can take off correct?  I get tired of people stating they don't think we should celebrate CHRISTMAS but yet they're often times the first people to request to be off on December 25th.  Double standard! 


I'll get off my soapbox now and get the fingers moving again!


Thanks Sheri for your good
old-fashioned values.  We need more of the same.  Hooray.
Question for Sheri (only)

I am only interested in her response, since she is the moderator, and it is her response that will decide what I do next.

If I respect anyone who celebrates December 25th as a religious holiday, will I receive the same courtesy in return (to not celebrate it as a religious holiday)?


I haven't celebrated December 25th as a religious holiday since I was a kid. I don't see it that way. I've also used the "Xmas" spelling since my early 20s, along with the spelling of G*d, and "JC."


Will I be allowed to post my messages with these spellings, or can I expect them to be blasted (like last year) or deleted?

Like I said ... I'm not denying anyone the right to believe as they do. I'm only asking the same courtesy in return.


Sheri from MT stars

Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag.  I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything.  I do have the reference number for verification.


I'm with you 100%, Sheri, and am very proud of your

Why are you speaking for Sheri?
Who made you team leader of the hijack news?  This gets more strange by the minute.  I feel like I'm watching an episode of LOST.....cause I'm LOST!!!!
I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you


Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

Paid, thanks to MT Stars and Sheri
I had an issue with an MTSO who had ads on this board. I contacted Sheri (board owner), who made haste in getting in touch with the MTSO. As a result, I was paid today.

Many thanks to Sheri and MT Stars for your support, concern and willingness to get involved!!!!!!

Thankful MT!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO, SHERI STEADMAN!! I just now saw your post
a
Merry Christmas, Sheri!
I'm tired of all the anti-Christian sentiment in this country too.
Is there a reason you answered for Sheri

I think *that* shows a lack of respect for someone. I also said Sheri ONLY was to answer the question (because she is the administrator of the board).

And in terms of "when in Rome do like the Romans do ..." Just call Rosa Parks.


Hurrah for you, Sheri. I agree!!!!
:)
Sheri...does that mean that the job seeker's board will have sm...
companies posting jobs that off-shore transcription?  I am trying to find an office that does not off shore due to the difficulty of the reports left over for the US MT, so I need to be careful if that is the case.  Thank you!
I think that's a very fair compromise, Sheri. nm

No wonder they claim they want to (sm)
make us happy!! We are making them REAL happy!!
I did not say not to claim it

I did not advise her not to claim it, she can do what she wants.  A company can expense out without filing a 1099.  I have expensed out without doing 1099's before and have never been questioned by the IRS.  In fact you have to notify the IRS that you will be filing 1099's.  Do all hairdressers report all of their "cash" tips?   I suppose you could do 1000 jobs at $500 each to make your 50K per year and not claim it but I doubt that you could find that many jobs.   All we are talking about here is one job and that is what I based my answer on not the hypothetical "thousands of jobs under $500".  I doubt that the amount she made would change her "owed taxes" except for social security and even then not that much.  Sp again -- she needs to do what she feels is the correct thing to do and if she loses sleep over not reporting a couple of hundred dollars then report it but do not expect a 1099. 


...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
Those who claim to have so much compassion....

say so only to make themselves feel superior.  You think you're better because you say what you say.   But how much do you do?  When Bush cut taxes, did you feel  so strongly that it was a mistake that you insisted to continue to send in the former higher Clinton taxes?  Or do you think that only those horrid selfish "rich" people should pay?  Sounds bites and lip service. 


claim was denied.
esd said that i was not laid off because of no work so that i could not claim. you have to be laid off because of no work or company shut down (like for inventory, etc.).

no dice. :(
I have my DH claim 0 and single, but we also have
extra $$ taken out of his check.   We have been hit with a penalty of under $60.00 the past 2 years for not having enough taken out for state though.   Hopefully this year we have taken out enough.  
New studies claim..sm..
cell phones are perfectly safe to use in non-clinical areas, such as waiting rooms and hallways.  Just Google hospitals "cell phones".  Tons of info.
I got the cool T-shirt! Thank you, Sheri. It was a pleasure to participate. SM

I commend you on making the world a better place!


how do you know for certain that Sheri is not an honest person? and Dr. Ahmed is from Pakistan, the
or is there any owner here. No one answers any of my questions. I have been posting all day.
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
I disagree. I think the site was sold to Sheri and she was screwd
deleted because the new guy doesn't want people to think maybe she's right and he isn't. I still think if Sheri put her phone number on her site then maybe she's telling the truth.
There are scam emails that claim to come from
Gotta be careful.
You claim it in 2009. If you did not receive
it in 2008, it does not matter it was owed, only what you received in the calendar year.
I'm afraid I'd have to see the evidence for that claim. sm
It would really take all the planets being lined up to see that kind of average production among that many people.
I've read the statement; think sheri sat on this and lost it for both of them out of spite
matches her personality.
The worst? pretty wide claim.

Seems like you're over-reacting to something that you claim not to care about.

You pay your home state tax, whatever percentage that is. You can claim
deductions for anything associated to your job....i.e., a percentage of your utilities, expenses such as supplies needed to do your job, etc.  Save all receipts for any of those items that you purchase related to the job, and I think the 1099 would be sufficient. 
their own issue. A lot of people claim bigotry to

If you think you can claim a part of rent as propety tax you can't.
It probably asks if you rent because then there would be no property taxes to claim.  If you owned then there would be property taxes.  It s/l it is walking you through the steps.  You can claim property taxes for vehicles, but you have incurred no property taxes as you don't own your residence.   I'm sure property taxes are considered when they decide how much to charge for rent, but who ever owns the property is paying the taxes and not you. 
if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.
Their claim to be 'not-for-profit' cracks me up.
They're making $$ hand over fist at those seminars. Love the photo of the race horses at the top. Bet more than a few of them own some. Oh - and most companies with an LLC behind them are in other countries. Like India and China, to name a couple.
Thanks Melinda. Certainly doesn't work like most claim. NM.

How to claim Social Security for part time

Hello. I have a few small part time transcription accounts and want to know how I can claim them so I can accumulate time for Social Security benefits. I'm an independent contractor using 1099.  


Thanks,


Terry


My claim was denied b/c officially, I was still employed but we were out of work. Crazy. nm

I bought a desktop and laptop in December. Can I claim on taxes..
and is there a limit to how often you purchase computers for your work? A friend thought you could buy one a year and claim it.  I bought the laptop and desktop in December and already hate the laptop, but I hate to purchase another one if I cannot claim it this year. Oh, also if I charged the computers on my Dell account in December but did not start making payments in January 2006 can I still claim for 2005 taxes. Thanks.
