Your taste runs to slender effeminate boys. That's the way it is and how Jude Law

Posted By: Sorry on 2005-07-10
In Reply to: I didn't want to turn this into an argument, like someone said, its just a fun thread..but - Toby Keith is a bit of a dough boy...maybe his mom

makes a "living" as well as Justin Timberlake.  There are those who aren't attracted to manly men and enjoy seeing a pretty boy.  BTW, Toby Keith has some excellent tight jeans and long legs and I don't see doughboy but it is relative if you prefer the looks of Jude Law/Justin Timberlake/Leonardo DeCaprio.  And he appeared w/o his hat on many times.   Not bald by any stretch like Garth Brooks.  But having said that, Garth Brooks, dough-boy and balding was hot in his day.

    i don't see babyish or effeminate at all but both brad and angelina are kind of like charactertur
    of what the ideal male and female should look like.  they are both jokes at this point.  neither to be taken seriously.  sad how hollywood dements the brains of the narcissistic into thinking they are something they are not.
    Hey, Jude!
    I am 47 years of age - just a kid in the 60's but discovered 'em during high school in the 70's....
    Jude. sm.
    Paul wrote that for Julian Lennon when John and Cynthia Lennon were going through a divorce  - really gave the song new meaning to me when I learned that.  Julian was called, "Jules", and Hey Jules did not fit well, so PM changed it to Hey Jude - don't take it bad; remember to let her into your heart (Yoko?), then it will start to get better. 
    Who makes your heart go a-flutter? For me, Jude Law

    Perfect combo of charm, boyish good looks, rugged handsomeness, *sigh.  He was great in Alfie and Closer.  Also the Talented Mr. Ripley...too cute.  I'm definitely obsessed.


     


    It's not deep at all. It's a trend and I am glad to see it go away with Jude Law's
    movies miserably failing at the box office.  There's nothing deep about that.  Just the facts maam.
    Hey Jude here too. My Boxer's full papered name is
    Sir Jude Prince of Spades. I did that so i could go "Hey Jude" when i called him. BUT everyone calles him Spades or Mr. S.
    Jude the Obscure, anything written by Dickens
    Vanity Fair, almost all Victorian literature.
    Update. Thanks so much to the poster who emailed me about St. Jude Hospital and sm
    telling me about the free cancer research program. I let our local news station know about that and they will contact the family and let them know!

    2. I received an email this morning from a large web hosting company who will donate a domain name, web hosting for 1 full year - with renewal on a yearly basis if chosen!

    Will keep you all updated. I'm still getting the nerve or guts to contact this family and let them know what I am doing......
    jude is right. Cobra may not be cheap, but it's cheaper than the surgery.
    .
    Also, what does it taste like?
    Is there something comparable to the taste? I also wondered about what it is. I thought it was a super dose of caffeine.
    good taste, nan!

    I do think it is in bad taste to ask for money, but
    if you say to make donations to a favorite charity seems okay. I saw an article some place recently that said about what I have said here.
    before your insurance runs out....nm

    You have excellent taste in men. My first choice also.
    He has it all.  Class, dignity, intelligence and charm and oh so cute/handsome/sexy.
    You have great taste, my friend!

    YEP, and some people have good taste and....sm
    and some others have NO taste/class....*lol* 
    I don't drink at all ever - hate the taste...nm

    Either way, the comment was in very poor taste.

    Does anyone else freak when work runs low?
    We received an email a few days back discussing about a low workload. Also received another email for maybe increased workload on another account. I get nervous and ready to jump when this happens. It's a very bad time of year for this to happen (like any time is a good time). The work is great but the pay is on the low side, especially with my experience (21 years). I took this position some months ago at the referral of another MT I know, hoping this would be it, but I really don't think it is.

    I have been browsing the job boards this morning, almost applying with another company, but something made me close the browser, thinking maybe I should hang tight for another week and see what happens.

    Does anyone else do this? I'm really thinking I should maybe look elsewhere because I've always thought, work smart, not hard. This pay scale is just a bit too low at 7 cpl.
    I notice that my computer runs better when it is
    shut down every night. If I leave it up for a couple of days, it starts acting sluggish. I do not think shutting it down wears on it. Plus, like the other poster said, you do leave yourself open for attack when always running if you have cable internet.
    I think you either need to get a router that runs Win 98 or upgrade to XP nm

    Another wise woman with good taste! SM
    I think BBT is the bee's knees. You have very good taste.
    I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
    all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
    I agree with you, but big business runs this country now,

    Runs and fragments, my pet peeve with testing sm
    I will be honest, I am not that well versed in which is which, but I know an incomplete sentence when I see one. The thing that tickles me is that the companies who make the most of knowing the difference will hand you a VERBATIM account. If you are an experienced MT, you tell me...verbatim means you type out all the sentences as you hear them...run ons, fragments and complete, regardless.

    It is nice to have someone on board who really knows their stuff and I understand this. I think it is appropriate to test for things you know that an MT is going to encounter, rather than whether or not she can identify when her verbatim account is dictating in incomplete sentences. Appropriate use of a commas versus semicolons, knowing when to chain together disparate thoughts into one sentence and when to break it up, and knowing how to spell seem far more important to me.

    I am in the middle of taking a test for a national company. They handed me 6 voice files, all over 3 minutes long, to transcribe as a test. Yes, they are going to take me over an hour because I have bronchitis right now (ugh I feel awful), but I consider this about the best way to assess my skills. It will give my perspective supervisor a valid way of seeing how I do things on the job.
    I just took 2 IC jobs, just in case one runs out of work
    I have the other. I am starting with one that is great in NC (have friends there), and it does have the contract, but I contracted at the less amount so if I do more that is great and then I can get the bonus. The other one out of ME is also wonderful, and neither have restrictions on schedule just want to know about what you will do every couple of weeks and if you have something come up they are still flexible. After taking a week or so to decide, and seeing as well the notes on here about lay offs elsewhere, I decided to do the 2 IC, and also will probably volunteer at the local library, and sell on e bay last (too much work LOL). Good luck to you, but if you don't need benefits because someone else can provide them for your family, I'd personally go with the more flexible status than promise my whole life away to a large MTSO and then fear the threat of taking benefits away or sudden layoff. That is just me. And after a lot of thinking about what I personally value. My family and my paycheck to support my family. Good luck to you.!
    The bottom line is if the work runs dry, then

    It's not rocket science.


    I liked his music but he's way too liberal loony agenda for my taste

    Anyone have a home remedy for loss of taste/smell?

    This sinus cold has been dragging on for nearly 2 weeks now..going on day 5 of absolutely no sense of taste or smell....soooooooo tired of this


    I haven't had taste or smell for over 10 years due to chemotherapy.
    Sometimes that's a GOOD thing. Seriously.
    home remedy for loss of taste/smell
    How about zinc? I was told years ago that this helps with loss of taste and smell.
    I think you have your results already. Any MQ post runs like wildfire as a rule! You had
    55 views on your last poll, and 1 respondent, who felt the opposite! No offense, but isn't that the answer to your poll? The older posted complaints on speed were that it was too fast at the lowest setting! And nobody ever argued with that!
    it's TASTE. You have lost sight of the original concept of the posts.
    i'm not doing an ethical evaluation on why i am drawn to toby keith or if he may be gay or rock hudson's qualities if he was gay or jude law.  it is just the type of guy women are drawn to and why.  shallow has nothing to do with the discussion.  but you aren't paying attention are you?
    My 11-year-old Boxer gets up and paces all night, runs into walls, SM
    I have not slept throughout the night since this started. He is not afraid of the dark, but something is wrong. Guess it is old age.
    previous note: "filing job falls through" as in the job runs out of work after
    you get it.

    Sorry about the expansion question - I forgot your history of 15+ years in the biz and having been a teacher. Sounds like you could be a supervisor in a transcription department or be in sales for an MTSO or a TX equipment company, etc. if you live near a big city???
    A newer computer with a dual core processor runs cool. No need for it.

    They look like boys. That's why the OP
    liked Jude Law.  Boyish charm.   That's why I think they are a bit effeminate.  They never got past boyhood. 
    THREE boys.
    I also tried eliminating sugar, reducing caffeine, exercise, and even going braless because I heard the underwire could be causing it.  Nothing has helped so far.  There's also a website out there where women are pulling together because doctors aren't informing us of the side effects of tubal ligation.
    I have boys, too.

    They've had girls chasing after them since kindergarten.  The notes from girls that I find in the laundry were just too much.  I love you, I want to marry you.  Goodness!  Last year, my 11 y.o.b. had a girl threaten to kill herself if he didn't "go out" with her.  He took it really hard because we had just lost a family member to suicide, and he felt like he had to do what this girl told him to do or she would die.  She even told him her parents had lost custody of her and she had to go live in another state to be adopted.  Compulsive liar.  I had to go in to the school and nip it in the bud with the teachers, school counselor and principal.


    I told my boys they would not be dating or "going out" until they were in high school.  Even with that, my oldest boy had a girl who wanted to sneak around behind her mother's back and lie to see him because she wasn't allowed to date.  I told my son no way, you're either straight up with the girl's parents and introduce yourself to them, or you don't date.  He told her that, and she dropped him like a hot potato because she didn't want to date an honest boy.


    BUT, not ALL little boys do this.....
    mom of 3, soccer mom, basebal mom, footbal mom, teacher's helper, preschool daycare provider, 2 brothers, 20+ male cousins and NEVER saw anything like this.
    Then why are they after little BOYS???
    nm
    Being there for my boys
    You nailed it! When I first started, it was purely by accident, trained on the job (1987), and way long before being married/kids. People would say to me "you can do that at home cant you"? Oh no way I said! I never expected to even stay in this profession, I was going to college. But then when I found myself having my kids at 36/37, I realized I did not want to got back to work, so the same hospital I worked for hired me to help at night from home. Who would have thought that my transitional job would be my savior so that I could afford to stay home with my boys. It was truly a blessing, and sometimes when it seems unfair, it's beats having to wake my little guys (4&5) and take them to daycare for 9 hours. Would not trade it for nothing!
    when my boys were little they use sm
    to come to my office and they said they also said mom sounded like a machine gun typing. The old wheelwriter typewriters, I really did like the sound. It relaxes me for some reason!
    ALL little boys do that. They think it's funny.

    Boys' language and social skills are also slower to develop than girls.  Wait until they have a name writing contest outside in the snow on the school playground.  Speaking from experience, sometimes teachers have personality clashes with students and do pick on them.


    No, ALL little boys don't do that. Watch your
    Yes, I have a son.
    What about moms doing the same with little boys?
    Ya know that's done more than the former!
    My experience with my own boys
    was to teach them the fine art of respect and acknowledgement in such events.

    For a family member that was not distant in relation, I had them attend. They did not have to approach/view the casket, but they attended. They learned to sign the guestbook. They learned how to order flowers, sign cards, and I spent time showing them the funeral/visitation process.

    I had a class in high school on death and dying and it taught me quite a bit I was unaware of.

    Most of all, I wanted them to be prepared and as comfortable as possible with their roles and expectations placed on them when these painful situations happen.


    My boys were 3 1/2 and my girls were 2.

    Cheerios in the toilet worked for me.  SINK THOSE BATTLESHIPS!!  :)


    But both boys were 3 1/2 at least and when I was just about ready to give up, they just started using the bathroom as if nobody had ever told them a thing.


    Pressuring and scolding are the 2 worst things you can do.  Just be laid back and all of a sudden one day, they are diaper free.  None of my 4 have ever had an accident or wet the bed since the day it kind of dawned on them.  Sort of like the day they learn to ride a bike without training wheels. :)


    This too shall pass like water under the bridge.  No pun intended.  Now I'm buying diapers for my grandkids.


    Those boys need to be exposed to camping LOL!!
