What you missed regarding The View gals...

Posted By: C.C. on 2005-08-19
In Reply to: darn it, I missed her getting dissed by the - The View gals. grr

Absolutely nothing. They refused to provide Kathy with a clip from the show. She had drawings of the show, though, that basically showed Star Jones moving all the way to the end of the couch so as not to "catch Kathy."

Gals

What does gals mean?  Is this slang or is this like saying girl friday or secretary or what?  I have been referred to by this term quite a bit in the last year, so just wondering.


TenQ:)


 


Thanks gals *sm*

I think I get confused by it because I was thinking that "9 years ago" was referring to an experience and because the experience belongs to the person it would be possessive? I think I just put too much thought into it! lol! Nonetheless, I was getting it confused with forms such as 9 years' duration.


Most of the gals I know, myself included.....sm
love to get some really nice hand/body lotion, either in their favorite fragrance or something scented from a specialty shop. They usually sell for maybe $18-20 and that's just too much $$ to spend on our own hand creams! Either that or scented bubble baths, soaps, etc.

I give things like that to my friends all the time and I have one friend who has now actually come to expect a bottle of her favorite lotion every Xmas. :)
Yeah, plus we allow you gals...
to have sex with us! What more could U possibly want???
You gals should make a cookbook!!
I know, I know - not enough time! But just reading the subject lines makes my mouth water - it's my favorite forum!!

my dinners usually run along the peel an orange, toast a bagel, reheat a cup of coffee lines...no one to feed but myself!
Thanks... you guys/gals are awesome!...nm

I know for certain that the gals doing clinic work for my co. are ALL y oung - below 30 and there
are hundreds of them!!!
question for all you hobby loving gals
I'm making all my x-mas gifts this year, and I bought some plastic bottles and to decorate them I would like to make them look "frosted" because I just think it looks better.  I have looked high and low on how to do this, i'm making scented lotion and I could not find anything on the net.  Would you guys know how to do this?  Hope I get some answers, thanks! 
Any CAL GALS want to post on the state board for chatting?
Thought we could find out what town each from and the goings-on there.  Good Idea?  Retta the Rascal
On my way to a Bible study. When I arrived, the other gals there had no idea what had happened. sm
I couldn't even find the words to explain - it was a little after 9. I was listening to, like the poster below, Bob and Sheri (on my way to Bible study - go figure) and Bob and Sheri were in a mood I had never, ever heard before. Very solmen. Describing word for what what they SAW. I didn't even know they were in NYC.

Anyways, I had to pull over as I started bawling. My younger son had taken an accompanied minor flight just a few days prior to that out of Dulles, so this hit quite close to home.

Anyways, we heard while in our Bible study (we decided to meet and pray for our country) about the other flights, but not flt. 93. We heard about that when our local newspaper (a giant) had people walking around McDonalds handing out FREE newspapers around 12 o'clock with pics and everything. The last time that newspaper did that was probably after JFK got shot. We were all scrambling for a paper which I still own to this day.

I remember my 9 year old son reading it in his room (I left it out like a dummie) and he cried like a baby for all those people on those flights who died. The WTC accident got to him the hardest. He still talks about it to this day. Tragic.

I don't know about you, but I do fear another attack like this again. It's hard not to.
You gals seriously make this kind of money? I am losing my job at the hospital
and thought I would never find a job that will pay that kind of money and its 14.50. I thought that was good!!!!! So you are telling me if I worked my tail off being an IC I could make more?? Break it down for me? How many hours a pay period, how many lines, how many cents per line?

I was actually regretting losing this job, but may be it is an opportunity.
I do love those younger gals though, the always pudgy ones in hip riders and too too tight tops.
so attractive with the roll hanging out.
Merry Christmas to all hard working guys & gals in the MT industry!

there you go again....different view
points is not the problem; it is how you or whomever respond to view points of others.  You should also re-read the original post.  Variety is the "spice of life", but insults and personal attacks are not acceptable in any format.  Smile. 
Different view
I've never heard anyone else complain about this, so maybe it's just me. I find them a bit cold and dull. There is less connection to the fact that there is a human being involved. It's like listening to a mechanic changing batteries all day.

They don't keep my attention as much as other acute care notes.
my view
Well when we were married (many moons ago) we wrote out our thank-yous on the plane on our way to our honeymoon. This was due to persistence from my grandmother that the thank yous had to be sent out ASAP, otherwise I don't know when they would have gotten out. I have also been to weddings in the recent years and have found that thank yous don't seem to be sent out so much anymore. We usually get an email thank you for birthday gifts that are sent, which is nice too. I guess I myself don't expect one, but it is nice to receive a thank you.
The View
I haven't been keeping up with The View as much lately. I turn it on occasionally and might see bits and pieces. In the past, I did watch it often and every time Meredith spoke she slapped the table. It was like a habit, like talking with your hands. Problem was, once I noticed it, it drove me a little nuts! I think Oprah's friend would be great.
The View
Well, Barbara says that the show is about different women with different views. It will definitely have people talking that is for sure. Who knows if it will turn into a good thing or the end.

The View
Anyone see Meredith's last day on The View?  Seems like they were trying to set the stage for Rosie's arrival with all that kissing. 
The View
I will admit that The View has never been one of my favorite shows.  I would tune in occasionally, but usually became too annoyed to watch it very long or each  day. However, I did watch Meredith's last day and after that, I started watching it every day.  I had heard Rosie was going to be taking her place and I couldn't imagine how loud and mouthy the show would be when that happened.  Suprisingly, I found that I started to enjoy the show.  Meredith was usually the one that annoyed me enough to flip the channel and with her gone, the others had more of a chance to speak.  I used to not care that much for Star, but since Meredith's departure, I have really enjoyed watching and listening to what she has to say.  I've even started taping the show daily, and now today she announces she is leaving.  I'd heard rumors and wasn't surprised, but I admit that I hate to see her go.  In the little time I have been watching since Meredith left, I have really enjoyed the show.  Oh well, it should be interesting in another way once Rosie comes on the scene.  I'm sure I'll tune in to watch the fireworks at least a few days, but I don't think I will care to watch it much after that.  Oh well.

hope this works for you.


Ok, where is the view?
Sorry tried to find, am novice at this. Thanks again!
My view to be
It sounds like they are trying to edge you out. It may be your attitude, it may be the quality of your work, it may the amount they have to pay you versus others, it may none of these things or it might all of them.

When it comes to getting another job, much of it is how you present yourself. If you are poorly spoken (i.e. they call you up, ask for you, and you say "this is her" when you should say this is SHE) or you send a cover letter with your resume and use terms like "I seen that in the newspaper" or your spelling and grammar are not perfect because you didn't proof your email...trust me, they are watching and it all adds up to what you can or cannot do for the company. Lots of us network from time to time, myself included. I talk to A LOT of MTs on a regular basis and they are always asking me who to apply with and if I have an in somewhere. Sometimes I do have "in" somewhere, but when you IM me and say, and I quote, your great...well I am not suggesting you apply anywhere I work!

It had to be said. You have to be very careful about how you present yourself and your skills. You never know who is watching.
I have a different view than you
I work with Escription and am totally surprised that it picks up even the hardest of ESLs, mumblers, cardiology, etc. I do not know that any VR would be able to make much out of static. I work part and clear over $20 an hour and probably could do more if the audio were able to be cranked up even faster.
I missed it.
What happened? I wanted Janelle to win so bad.
I missed it!
who won?
I missed so much...
Goodness, I need to start watching it again. I have missed WAY to much. Thanks for the scoop!
Hopefully all you missed was...
carrie underwear...
must have missed it

I missed that!
I taped it though--I'll have to watch that.  Elliott is so sweet. 
must have missed it....sm
and yes, they do tend to come out on Fridays...given the opportunity. overworked and underpaid??....hmmm...I don't think so....just bad attitudes. JMO (even though I don't know what it was about). :^)
For all those who missed it.....
I found this website that should have the transcript soon.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/gb.html
I think you missed something -
the patient spoke English, the doctor did not and he could not understand the patient.  Are we supposed to find an interpreter for our doctor appointments to speak the doctor's primary language?
Perhaps I missed something but...
Do we not just double space between paragraphs and anatomy headings? Why would she make more money if only getting paid per character? Maybe I'm misreading.
I think you missed it by about
20 years or more. The pay was great in the past but steadily has dropped. I have typed on electronic records for at least 5+ years and nothing has changed, at least pay except going down. To make an excellent salary I would think you would have to get your own accts, not nationals, be able to transcribe excessively fast and work long hours, might be doable. To work for most nationals you need about 2 years experience also.
And in view of the fact that........
women often present with atypical symptoms of a myocardial infarction, and the fact that she would have sued their PANTS OFF if she had been dismissed as having heartburn when she in fact had an MI, what is the alternative here?
Just because this is YOUR point of view does not mean you
need to resort to flaming and name calling. Everyone is allowed their OWN opinion and not everyone needs to think exactly the same. If I were not an MT and I worked at Wal-Mart (which I am sure you shop there) and some of the items came from different countries...I would then again, in your eyes, be an awful person. That is just silly. Please grow up.
re: View girls
I cannot stand the View girls. Who do they think they are! They act so high and mighty, especially Star Jones and Meredith whatshername! Please!
my point of view

Not trying to start a fight, just wanted you to look at it from their point of view. 


My husband was a branch manager for a huge company, working 12to 13 hour days.  I kept my 2 kids at home (5 and 2) AND worked AND cleaned AND cooked AND taxied AND etc..   The list goes on.  He would come home, lay on the couch and say " I just need a few minutes to relax"   Relax??  I didn't know what the hell that was. 


 


Well, he quit his job 2 months ago.  I know work a full 8-hour day, 5-yo in Kindergarten and he stays home with the 2 year old, cooks, cleans, taxies, etc.


Now when I am done with work, I want to lay on the couch and say, "I just need a few minutes to relax"    I finally understand, but on the other hand, he FINALLY understands what I was going through.  The best thing to do is communication.  If he wants to see you more, take that as a compliment and if you can, rearrange your schedule so that you CAN see him more.  I get started at 5 a.m., get 5yo ready at 7:30 (don't even want to know what she would be wearing if DH dressed her), then he takes her and I am back to work until about 1.  I am DONE at 1!!!!  It has been working out like a dream and we have just as much money as we did before. 


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. 
That's why I said hit alt+V. That will give you view. nm

My point of view
We all have in mind what we would LIKE to make, FEEL our skills are worth, etc. Finding our WANTS to correlate with someone else's needs (i.e., a company, MTSO, etc.) is indeed a very tall order.

The market right now just will not bear making the money some have been accustomed to in the past.

It's a fact, whether we like it or not, and it isn't going away. It's going to get tougher and more streamlined and more technologically advanced and more globalized ...

Yes, we all feel we should be better paid. It's just that there are so many other options for making this business more profitable that we don't call the shots anymore.


I see your point of view, but
perhaps she wants it that way so she can verify it because she does not have the line counting program you have?
The View Article
I was just looking at an internet article. Supposedly Star was suppose to make the announcement on Thursday and Barbara feels betrayed by what she did. It goes into pretty good detail.
Maybe in public VIEW! lol
Article I read said it was Barbara who decided to suggest firing Star because Rosie had said the only way she would join the View was if there was no Star! That and she was annoyed by her antics over the past year. So, yeah, real class that Babs! Maybe she's been hanging out with white-trash-with-money-Rosie a little too much? Maybe next they'll ask Britney Spears to join the show. LOL!
I understand your view, I really do.
I am not smug, I assure you. I have been blessed to discover God my creator. I have gotten to know him through the holy Bible. I accepted Jesus as my Savior and I have seen God's work in my life. The Bible explains everything of the human condition. We are born with a need for God, but our sin nature doesn't want to give up our sinful ways. So humans have rejected God and created replacement gods to worship, to their detriment. The way you can tell the difference between the real thing and false religions is that false religions base salvation on a person earning heaven. There is nothing we can do to earn heaven. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He said that "No man gets to the Father except through me." So no, I'm not smug and superior at all, because I can do nothing to save myself or earn heaven. Jesus has done it all just because I confessed I am a sinner and believe on Him! That is GREAT NEWS!

I understand it sounds like brainwashing. That's because Satan is the great pretender. He makes a false copy of everything God does in order to confuse people. But you can know the difference when you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry I can't use human logic to explain God because his ways are not our ways, but if you ever reach a point in your life when you can't go on the way you are, then know that God, the one and only God who created you, will be there to comfort and protect you as he has me.

I don't hate people who don't believe the way I do. If I did, wouldn't I keep this to myself? You are free to choose, just like I am, but for as long as Americans are still free, I think we should be able to share, even Christian ideas.
