He is wanting to try counseling through church. I'm not sure how long to give this. Can you put a time limit on something like this??

There is a church in Gonzales that is a small church but housing evacuees.

Helping a small church could be the best way to help someone.


 


Their web page says they need everything from personal items to clothing and bedding to food and water, don't forget first aid supplies.  They said you could send money but there's nothing there to buy anyway.


The address is:


Gonzales Church of Christ


1225 South Purpura


Gonzales, LA  70737


Bigger churches have more people, it's the small churches that need outside help and don't qualify for Red Cross or anyone else to help but people like us.


Since we're on the subject of TV
Anyone watching Breaking Bonaduce?
Go to church.

Go to church

I do and have - but our church is small, almost all elderly people attend, and I don't seem to have much in common with the people who go there - age difference is probably the case.  Thanks for the suggestion though!!

Try a different church.

Are they getting married in a church?
Do you have a preacher or someone he could speak with at your church? I will pray for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. What a mess. She'll be his "first divorce" as they say.
church sermons

Many churches tape their sermons for transcription and then they are posted on several web locations.   Especially Lutheran Churches part of the Missouri Society.


I have filled the position, and regardless of the errors in my ad I received numerous resumes, well over 200 for just 2 positions.  I appreciate all of the interest. 


I also appreciate the remarks regarding the errors in my ad.  I am sure those who were greatly upset by them did not apply.  I will refrain from making comments on the errors in resumes I received.  Being as small as I am, again, I appreciate having a location to find those individuals willing to take on a small portion to help me out. ( A dollar here, a dollar there adds up)


I wish you all good luck.


church sermon
I used to do denominational transcription "eons" ago. It is very interesting. Try churches... I am very sure there's people that could do it.
I give at my church
and other local places but I can only contribute so much.
separation of church and state

was not the design of the forefathers. The origin was with Thomas Jefferson, when a minister asked that his denomination (don't remember which one) be considered THE religion of the country. Jefferson said he would not give preference to one religion over another. That's how the entire separation of church and state later came to be interpreted.

But despite the "evolution" of things, it's still an excellent idea. I feel that all religion in any way, shape, and form needs to be kept out of the public school system, and that includes closing the school for what are viewed as religious holidays (i.e. Good Friday).


Join a church? Seriously. I have a mom's group through the sm
church where we get together for lunch once a week amongst many other activities within our church. Fairly large church. Couldn't survive without it.
no wonder church attendance was down - all the jerks were
lol
anyone ever transcribe a church sermon?
how do I decide what to charge to do this?  Flat rate? Per tape rate? per page? i don't think per line is a good way to go...
Where does it state in her post that she and her kids don't go to church?

Our church sends care packages....sm
Some of the things we send are:

Pretzels, chips like Pringles in a hard can, peppermint or hard candy, beef jerky, cheese crackers (the kind with cheese or peanut butter in them), the canisters of Oreos, Cheezits, etc.

If they have kitchen facilities or a microwave available to them: microwave popcorn, Ramen noodles in a cup, Cup of soup.

We also send word-search puzzle books, crossword puzzles, and perhaps some magazines that they might be interested in.

Hope this helps. :)
They are from the Westeboro Baptist Church in Topeka

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,217760,00.html


This above link goes to an update on Fox News about the group.  They say they won't go to the funerals if given air time to "espouse Westboro's beliefs." 


This quote is from the daughter of the "church's" pastor:  "Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."


What an unbelievable world we live in.


 


Does anyone have any experience with church sermon transcription?
I've done a Google search and can't seem to find many ways to connect with companies or individuals seeking church sermon transcriptionists? If you have any information about this at all, please send me an email or respond on this board.

Thank you so much.
Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.
too!
This is a wonderful suggestion. The church I used to attend when I lived in KY
did this and I never got around to ordering.  Of course that was five years ago and the world wasn't in the economic crisis it is in now, so I never really thought about it.  I just now got the angel food website and found that a church in my small rural town participates and I'm definitely going to start ordering!
Entertain them? Chores? Church on Sunday? You women are a joke!
How you are reading that into my statements is really a hoot! Please tell me you don't have children! My, we are all on the defense over this - how many of you have no relationship with your kids? Soooooooo sad!!
Woops, meant to say the jeans and t-shirt are fine for CHURCH...
s
I would let DD go with Habitat for Humanity or a church mission, but not that wild party stuff.
:+
My kids play in a church basketball league and I am going to watch their games today.
I am going to whip up a fabulous dinner (have no idea what though) and watch a movie later tonight with the family. Church tomorrow!

Would love to make time for an eyebrow wax and pedicure in there somewhere just to spoil myself a little bit - probably not going to happen though!
While we are on subject, how about 1 and 1/4 cm. Is it 1.025?
dd
off the subject a bit, but sm
if you are now on DQS, did you get paid for that training that took over TWO HOURS of my working time??? I didn't! And my TC said we weren't gonna get paid for it, either!!! That really P'd me off!!!
I am not sure why, but this subject always (sm)
seems to get a debate going. I posted below about homeschooling and wishing I had been homeschooled. I honestly think everyone should at least try it if at all able. It is a great experience!!
CAN WE PLEASE GET OFF THIS SUBJECT.
Ultimately it is the choice of the girl who made the choice to have sex. For crying out loud, either way she will have to pay for her mistakes. Enough already.
I'm no pro on this subject, but I'm not sure there is
a way to convert it to anything smaller than the MP3 from wav. Are you using an FTP or sending through email? My docs are uploading 90 minute DSS files to an FTP and it only takes a few seconds. The 90 minute file is close to 8 MB, I believe. If you're using email, you might try an FTP server.
Okay, can we all get off this subject
and let it rest for the night? it has been an unconstructive day for everybody on this particular post, except maybe for the ones that learned not to feed the trolls. goodnight everybody. give it a rest already
Oh no, not this subject again...

Off the subject but
is she bringing paper medical records to a swim practice? Seems to me paper and water don't mix very well!
Yes, you have to the put the subject
spot like I just did.  You have to do that each time.  Usually you e-addy stays in the e-mail box though.  Happy posting! 
and the subject is?
Let us all know what you're tired of and maybe we'll join you...
A bit off subject, but I was wondering
My son planned a trip to New Orleans for the 4th of July. We tried and tried to find a room through travelocity.com, hotels.com, expedia.com, etc. without success. I'm not sure exactly what the site was, but I finally found a hotel room (I think I searched New Orleans.com or something similar) at the Cotton Exchange Hotel which seemed to be a very good hotel by all sites description. It was booked on all these other sites. So I grabbed the room for the guys. However, when they got to New Orleans and showed their confirmation, the hotel sent them next door to the Holiday Inn. What was up with that?  Of course, they didn't care one way or the other, but I just wondered why the hotel did that. Thought maybe they were affiliated, but by the description of the hotels, I would rather have stayed in the Cotton Exchange and would have been somewhat disappointed had the reservation been for me.  Just curious
Kinda on the subject, but not....

my two cents on this subject sm
I have a 6 YO son at home, along with a 14YO daughter and an 18 YO son.  When my 6 YO was 4, he went to preschool at a daycare center, five days a week, for six hours a day.  He absolutely LOVED it! He learned so much, he grew so much, and he survived very well, thank you.  I didn't put my other two in daycare or preschool, though I needed to.  It was just not feasible back then to pay for it and work too.  This situation worked for us.  Now my 6 YO is in school, going into the first grade in a couple of weeks, and has stayed home with me and my other children this summer.  He's fine.  He's a bit bored, but just fine! Come on people, it's not that complicated.  They are kids, they adjust to your schedule and theirs.  They WILL survive without your undivided attention for a few hours a day.  Give it a rest, already!
off the subject - loveNY
but where in NY do you live? I'm an upstater who moved to Manhattan
A little off the subject but an example of what can happen when someone - sm

pretends to be you when they are driving. You are probably also going to have issues with your insurance company as well.  I am sure you can prove it was not you driving, get the date and time of the ticket, etc. (were you working at the time, and prove it?) license plate (not your car), the cop has to appear in court too for a ticket and with any luck will be able to confirm you were not the woman he pulled over, etc. They have heard it before, have no doubt about that, and know it happens. Get an attorney if you need one.....


VINDICTIVE MOTHER-IN-LAW TAKES ANGER OUT ON CHILD

DEAR ABBY: My son "Vince's" mother-in-law, "Dotty," has never had a driver's license because she never learned how to parallel park. She only has a learner's permit.

After Vince married her daughter, "Lynn," Dotty was stopped by the police for a traffic violation. She gave them her daughter's name and address and told them she had "forgotten her wallet." The point went on Lynn's record and her car insurance shot up $150.

During the latest incident, someone hit Dotty's car in a parking lot. Dotty again pretended she was Lynn. The police were summoned and demanded Dotty's driver's license. When she handed them her learner's permit, her car was hauled away and now she has to appear in court for driving without a license with no licensed driver in the car.

When Vince was contacted by the insurance company, he told them the whole story. Dotty thought Lynn would just forget the incident and she'd be home free. She still drives her car every day.

To get even with Vince for ratting her out, Dotty refused to give my grandson his medicine while she baby-sat him. How should my daughter-in-law deal with this nasty woman? -- OUTRAGED IN ELMIRA, N.Y.

DEAR OUTRAGED: Now that your son and his wife know her mother won't hesitate to take out her anger on the child, they should not allow her to be around him again unless both of them are supervised.


My last statement on this subject is the following...sm
As long as there are people who are willing to take cuts in pay, whether by way of bonus or otherwise, there will be pay cuts for the worker, no matter the profession.
Who's changing the subject?
and so am I.

Try to keep up.
Off the subject of VR - but regarding the IBM keyboard.
I thought I was the only MT in existence that still used the "clicky" IBM keyboard. I love it & can't type at all on the squishy, ergonomic, squeezed-in new keyboards - & I have very small hands !! Guess this is a good hint as to how long I've been doing this & what I learned on & got comfortable with over the years (a dream come true compared to a typewriter) :o)

If you ever need yours repaired, I've found a company that repairs IBM or Lexmark keyboards, as well as other brands. They have been great & will replace keys, cords, whatever it needs, for a flat fee based on your type of keyboard (listed on their internet site). My repairs cost $30.00 + tax & shipping (last repair came to $37.25). And, if all else fails, they do make a very similar "clicky touch" cloned IBM keyboard which isn't too bad. When I was at one time down to 2 broken IBMs, couldn't locate another & was desperate - that's how I initially discovered their site & their cloned keyboard -- & the discovery that they repaired IBMs !! Anyhow, they are located at PCkeyboard.com/repair.html --(i.e. Unicomp). You call a toll free number at 1-800-777-4886, (Jim Owens at Ext. 202), tell him the problem, get a RMA number, their address & that's it. I have been very pleased with their repairs with no complaints whatsoever. They have been my lifesaver for many, many years !!
kind of on the same subject, but not really

Just an observation.  The ONE good thing that came from Hurricane Katrina is the pet situation.  After that, they made it where you could bring your pets shelters as long as they were in crates.  I don't know if that will be the case everywhere from now on, but it did bring this to the public's attention, at least.  Many people will not leave without their pets.  I know I wouldn't.


Here's another thought on the subject....sm

The reason people are concerned with production is because there has been too much abuse in the past.  I've worked in both the hospital setting where people were paid hourly and for production pay.  Those paid by the hour generally didn't produce as much because they didn't care how much they did... resulting in being more employees were needed to do the job.  When one facility I was at switched to having people paid by production it was *amazing* how much more everyone did in their 8 hour shift... and the quality didn't suffer.   The # of "yap breaks" decreased significantly because time became money.   We went from needing a company to pick up overflow work - usually enough to keeping 3-4 full-time MTs busy each day to not needing any extra help at all. 


 


I've seen MTs "sweat" over a particularly difficult dictation for say 2 hours for a 10 minute report.  Why in the world would you want to do that?  That's crazy and frankly if you can't "get it" the first time.... certainly the second time listening then the dictator isn't worth spending 2 hours on... even if you're being paid hourly. 


 


Thank you for the replies from everybody on the subject.
It gives me a good start to check them all out...
Way off subject, but I need opinions...

What, in your opinion of course, do you consider being unfaithful to your spouse? I know this is a LOADED question, with many different opinions.


Is it having a full-blown affair (you know what I mean...we are adults here)?


Is it simply talking to/seeing someone without your spouse knowing, but not being intimate? Kissing, talking, becoming emotionally involved?


Do you think one must *go all the way*, to us a teenager's term, before it would be considered an affair?


I really need some help here...I'm going through a very hard time right now and need some support. I don't want to go into my personal details here, but just need opinions...thanks everyone!


Believe me, I know more about the subject than you could dream to know.
I knew about that so many years ago that it's not even worth discussing with you. You don't even have a clue who you're talking to and what my qualifications are, so please stop with your blathering. The point I was trying to make (that obviously escaped you) is that people think if they use Firefox, they're automatically protected against ALL viruses. If you had read the original post, this discussion is about WINDOWS XP viruses, not Internet Explorer viruses. Operating systems, not browsers. Therefore, your post about switching to Firefox had NOTHING to do with anything that was being discussed because it's two different things.
off subject -am I being paranoid
I have some genealogy information on my computer and my grandfather had a very unusual first name and middle name-  today when I was going through my junk mail there was junk from someone with that  same name-  just kind of stopped me in my tracks I didn't open it ---but is that a coincidence  How does that happen - I should have better Spyware I guess  .  maybe Im just paranoid
This is changing the subject a bit, but.....

What about birds?  If people had a bird that they had in a cage, and not let FLY for exercise, is that a bad pet-owner?  Most bird owners that I know of, have birds in a cage and they let their birds poo in a cage on the paper in the bottom of the cage. 


What about cats?  Cats are domesticated animals just like dogs and some people NEVER let their cats go outside.  They let their cats do their business in a litter box. 


I just don't see any difference in this and using the potty pads, and like I said, I have used potty pads with previous dogs I have had.  They do not smell if you pick up the dirty pad right away, which I do when at all possible.  It's the dog hiking his leg on the furniture which is NOT acceptable to me and I agree--it stinks and I have a terrible problem going on with this---I try to clean it up as soon as I can, but he is definitely ruining my floors and thus why I was asking for advice on the hiking of the leg. We need new floors (carpet) in our house anyway and we are planning on replacing them soon but I need to get the dog re-trained somehow before we get the new flooring or else I'll still be in the same boat I'm in now.  I've just got to figure out how to retrain him back to the potty pads.  Wish me luck!


Have a nice day!


Wrong Subject
Sorry about that.. Don't know why it says "Voice Recognition" Hope it didn't confuse too many.
totally off the subject

Hello,


Does anyone have or have heard of men going online to chat with women from those "dating" websites?  if so what's your take on it.  do you think they are really trying to hook up or just "playing".


 


I was told it was a "MAN" thing and everyone does it (i guess all men) I was told that the reason for doing it is to see how far they can get, to see what these women would fall for. I don't buy it. but I am just curious how many people out there are doing this

Does anyone know of a really good hair product for the "frizzies" ?


With summer coming, I'm dreading my hair curling and frizzing with the heat and humidity, have tried a lot of products without success.  Any tried and true methods? thank you  in advance !
