In all due respect, not really a good
comparison. Dogs are certainly not the only carriers of rabies - unless my memory fails me, all mammals would be potential carriers. Definitely different butchering peoples' domestic pets, seizing them all against their will, and taken from their homes as compared to poultry and cows being raised for food consumption. If you don't see the difference, well, I feel sorry for you and yours.
I respect that opinion. In fact, I agree with it.
I don't feel it's professional to drink on the job. However, if other people feel they can have a glass of wine while doing their own work, that's their deal. It's not like anyone gets drunk off of one alcoholic beverage, unless it's a really huge Long Island iced tea. LOL
My posts weren't directed at you, but at those people who think name calling, rudeness, belittling people, and being judgmental is merely "expressing a different opinion". You can completely disagree with someone and keep it civil. That's being respectful and mature.
Like customer service everywhere - people don't care, no self-respect, no respect for.

I respect YOUR opinion. Please respect mine!
I don't think there is any need for mud-slinging. The ONLY thing I contribute to AHDI is the recertification fee. The rest are expenses that are deductible to keep me recertified. Again, that's MY choice.
Not to defend someone whose beliefs
I don't agree with (I'm not bashing her, I simply do not share the same religious beliefs -- I am a Christian)....but she is right, Christians have a habit of re-writing these holidays and make them into what they find acceptable. The origin is what matters. It is, in fact, her holiday......something that I for one have no desire to partake.
Well we all have our opinions and beliefs and since it has worked for me to be
a productive MT and a wonderful mother/wife/manager of my home, my opinion is quite opposite of yours. There is a difference between those ABLE to and those UNABLE to.
I think it is all about your beliefs and what you teach the kids...sm
We do let our kids trick or treat, as stated before. However, it is all just for fun (and candy) for them. I think it is all about what you teach your kids. I see what you are saying about Christmas, I actually can't stand it when people celebrate Christmas who don't believe in God and Jesus. But I guess someone could say the same thing about me (for "celebrating"Halloween without "believing" in what it stands for). I think I am confusing myself!!! All I think that matters is what YOU believe and what you are teaching your children.
However, now that this subject has come up, I am going to do some more research on Halloween and possibly consider the idea of a "fall harvest party" or something like that. I do like that idea, so thanks for letting me explore other ideas!!! I never thought that deeply about getting free candy from the neighbors!! 
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you for allowing me to post my beliefs without being ridicule

LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.
Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
Agree with you on one thing.
I do agree with you that in the work force, people with no children should get some extra incentive of some sort; I did not have my only child until later in life and I understand your position as I often picked up the slack too, so I dig it. However, I have excellent reading comprehension and I don't think she was expecting preferential treatment. With the divorce rate in this county higher than 50%, you are claiming that the MAJORITY, bred with losers. Divorce happens, losers or not. I have to get off here while I still have a job.
LOL! I agree, but the BIG thing I don't get...
OK. Our Indian -- friends -- who are ever so kind to transcribe for us Americans whilst we are asleep -- all for the good of the patient, of course, supposedly make 1 to 2 cpl, right? That's the quote I always hear. Then, their work goes to a senior MT to proof, who also must make say 2 cpl. Then the work always goes to a 3rd layer, a junior QA person, who again must get at least 2 cpl, but let's just say 2 cpl for the sake of argument. Then the work goes to the senior Indian QA person, who must, for Pete's sake, make something more, so let's say 3 cpl. And I assure you, they need that many layers and still the work can be ludicrous. Really, really too bad to imagine. They are OK with the medical lingo, scary enough. But it is honestly the english stuff that they just cannot master. So, by the time the job has gone thru 4 people, or even 3 people, you're up to 8 cpl anyway, so what the heck is the savings for US companies? Is it just on bennies? I don't get it, and I know it must be me being ignorant. Can somebody kindly explain what the incentive is for this?
I only agree with you on one thing and that is
the part about scaring. Canada has news completely different than here, not a scare thing every time you hear the nightly news. I am not in submission, however. Sure I am scared when planes smash into buildings, sure I am scared when there is a show down between us and Russia, sure I was scared when Kennedy died- most people were then, terrified in fact because all thought this meant war would happen. I remember it well. Scared when King assinated, thought our city Atlanta would be in riots, now there but other cities did. Don't think you are as old as I am because if you were, think you would be a little more understanding of how people can be scared. I am far from submissive, though.
I agree, and I do the very same thing with my money. NM

I agree with your feelings, but there is such a thing as --sm
going overboard. as much as minorities should be considered equally for jobs, education, etc., so should it be for all...not just minorities. ESLs are not the only ones that help keep MTs busy. transcription work can come from ALL dictationists, not just ESLs. Standards should be the same for all. Either lower them for the *white americans* or raise them for all others. I am not a racist and I do not defend one against the other, but it should be equal...across the board. That used to be the *American Way*, INCLUDING diversity.
Agree drs always say same thing. Ofter wonder

I agree - a quota is one thing, production another
Especially reading 100% of reports. I do quick read-through of 100% of mine, with listening if there's problems, and I figured my own "quota" based on my per-hour pay, but that's for keeping myself accountable and on track, making sure I'm as productive as I can be, nothing else.
Agree! The same thing happened to me. I got everything correct
except run on and fragmented sentences. I knew I was right.
It's a good thing
Finally, the animals win one. Every time some "little darling" mangles a dog or a cat and they get bitten, scratched, it is always the "mean dog's fault". I'm glad you had your camera on for proof. I had two collies that were behind TWO locked fences and one of my neighbors called me up, screaming that my female had bitten her 2 yo toddler. I asked what her 2 yo toddler was doing running around loose outside without supervision and what he was doing on my property in the first place. I told her about the two locked gates and chain link fences, and she said he managed to stick his hand between the posts and the gates and was bitten. She thought I was going to "come apart", but instead I went on the attack. I told her she needed to watch her kids and keep them out of my property and she wouldn't have a problem. Her 2 yo was trespassing on my property and I wanted him kept off of it from now on! She backed down in a big hurry. People make me crazy!
Good thing this is my day off
I meant "way less errors," not "way more errors." LOL
no, would not be a good thing....sm
would end up making you look bad......
move forward - for every door that shuts, another one opens, I promise....*S*
Yes, it is a good thing.
My parent's church helps with it and my parents and other people in the church have brought from them. It is not a scam. It just helps with fod. There is no way you can buy that much food at the store for what Angel Food gives you for $25.00. Are you thinking of signing up?
Good for you! I think this is the right thing to do.
You've got to take care of yourself to keep making your money. If he has a problem with that, he'd be in for a rude awakening if you woke up and decided my hand hurts and I CAN'T work. I'm glad you're doing what you need to for your own pain's sake. My best to you!
Is this a good thing?
QA that is 'easy on you'?
It can be a good thing if.....
you treat it like a business - learn the law, get everything in writing, charge enough rent to cover the hidden costs. I've been landlording for several years now and I highly recommend nolo.com a site with good legal information for non-lawyers, especially a book that outlines the landlord-tenant laws in each state in layperson language - It's been very useful to me, kept me out of trouble at least once.
Or just call a realtor and let them handle it and add their fee to the rental as mentioned above.
Which is why MT can be a good thing for ADD sm
Days when it is hard to focus will take longer to reach quota. Personally, hormonal fluctuations tend to drag me down and make my day go on forever. Being able to stretch my day out longer as long as I get the work done has probably saved me from losing my job at times. Working all day long is not the ideal, but the perseverance is there to get it done anyway and keep my job. When I worked in-house, I was constantly late and had so many warnings because it was hard to stay on task, couldn't work extra hours, etc. So for me, working MT at home, while not a breeze, is the best fit for me and probably many other MTs with ADD.
Agree. It's a common thing. Stay safe. nm

I agree. Now it seems the "in" thing is teeth cleaning sm
I'm fortunate in that I live in a small town and my vet is very good and very reasonable. Doesn't try to persuade you to have anything extra done but will do things if you want them done.

I can't believe you thing those are good reasons.
I cannot believe you think these are valid reasons to do your dog a dis-service like that. Yes, it is your laziness that doesn't want to go have to get up and let him outside. As far as fleas, if you cannot afford to care for a dog properly, you shouldn't have one. The cheapest part about owning a pet, is the initial cost. Your expensive flea med excuse is like saying, "Gee, I am short on cash. Get the dog doesn't get to eat this week." There are expenses that go with owning a pet and that should be considered before you bring one into your home. And the digging,,, just don't leave him out for hours at a time and the digging won't be an issue. THis poor dog. I unfortuneatly can see this dog's future. Either he will end up put down like the other poster's dog or he will be placed with strangers. If he is lucky, it will be with a responsible dog ower. If he is unlucky, it will be with some one who won't take the time and he will either end up outside all the time or be passed to yet another stranger. Poor pooch.
Good post but one thing.....sm
you said you'd wait until you become financially secure before getting married so you could then could leave him and be okay $$-wise.
I left after 13 years of marriage and we pretty much had nothing....my sanity being numero uno. The stats are this....that after 5 years of divorce, women are in better shape than men financially and emotionally. That's what I've read and that's how it also happened for me. I was in better shape than him 5 years later. So, don't undercut yourself. We can make it on our own whether we have a man in our life or not!!!! It's an old wives tale from post WWII I do believe that women are not *complete* without a man and that is a total crock of s**t.....in my mind/heart/soul.
Good thing we all get to have an opinion!

I guess if there's one good thing...
the police got to the school so quickly that he was unable to carry out the *rest of his plan* thank God...those poor children suffered enough, thankfully he didn't have the chance to inflict any more harm on them...if you know what I'm talking about...I can't write it...it makes me sick to my stomach!
What is this world coming to when parents feel afraid to send their children to SCHOOL? We don't even let our 7 YO son play outside for 1 second alone, and we live in a quiet subdivision, and know all our neighbors...guess that's just it though, we THINK we KNOW them...anyway, it just breaks my heart and scares me to death...WE NEED TO BRING GOD BACK INTO THE SCHOOLS...we've *kicked* Him out...time to bring Him back...
Change is a good thing.
You’re signature gives you away—typingfool.
Some people need change. Change is good. It’s good for the soul, good for the spirit, and not to mention one’s well being. Some people need to grow and if boredom persists, this is a sign that it’s time to pursue new fields. If everyone held your poor outlook on life, there would be no dreams met, no business owners, no success stories, no hope and furthermore, very unfulfilled listless lives.
We can all compare ourselves to those who are in war, struggling in life, in humdrum jobs but this is no reason to not attempt to fulfill one’s own potential, no matter what that may be. It’s just a matter of decision, as scary as it may be, to try something different. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I am so thankful that I was not born to you, with your attitude—so stifling!
It is a very good thing for lots of the MTS
to not have lived, say in the 50s on through the early 90s because they would have been out of luck with jobs and the ability to stay home. Those 2 just did not go together. I remember the last job where I worked in house fulltime (92) they told you not to have family/friends on the hospital property to visit- not allowed on the work place at all. I love working from home but I think the choice of this job should not be #1 you want to stay at home because then like I have said before the profession comes off as nonprofessional. I do not care how MTs look but others apparently do as they post these concerns all the time- iether neighbors and/or family thinking they do not really have a job, even a post on a board stating her husband telling her all she did was sit on her a___ all day long, not being taken seriously. I think a lot of MTers hurt their own self when they post their reason for doing this was just to work from home. Just what I read on these boards.
Wow... sounds like it might be a good thing ! -sm
It also makes me wonder about talking to MY vet. She's at a large clinic near my home. As vets see more and more patients, and the procedures become more complicated, maybe that's a new job possibility for some of us. If you take the job, I hope you'll keep us posted on what it's like, etc. Good luck!
I agree with Tinks....no such thing as a 65 character GROSS line....unless
you just so happen to type 65 characters during on that particular line. LOL
A gross line can be a full typed line or it can be one word on a line to complete a sentence that began on the prevous line. But it gets counted as an entire line.
Teenagers good to be home with - I did the same thing
 Once had an argument with my boss working in the office, because my hours were supposed to be 7-3, or 3:30. I was on salary (can you believe that) at the time, and she expected me to stay till 5 or 6. She herself used to practically live there. I told her no, I wanted to be home with my kids, and she said they weren't babies anymore and didn't need me. Well, I left everyday after that by 3:30, and believe U me, it is a very good idea to be able to monitor your teenagers, and I would do it again (God forbid I ever had teenagers again) They are all grown now.
Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Thanks. It's a local rad company, so it'd probably be a good thing.
IF I can even do it.
Good thing you work at home
Hopefully one day when you need to vent, you at not treated the way you treat others but what goes around does come around.
Good thing they're so cute or we'd really get mad at them!
Sometimes cuteness is a life-sustaining mechanism, especially for my 6 previous little fur-ballz.
You poor thing. Good luck to you.
I've been there but had to work outside the home. I had a slug of an ex who paid child support when "he had the money." I learned how to shop and ate whatever the kids left over in their dinner bowls. To this day I will not touch a Spaghetti-O. :)
First and most important is be a parent to your kids. Have fun with them, but set limits with them and be a mom and not a friend. That's what they need. And NEVER, EVER, say a bad word about their father, no matter what, even if he bad mouths you. My kids figured out what a slug their dad was on their own. They are both adults with kids of their own and I still refuse to bad mouth their father after nearly 20 years.
Thank you. There is such a thing as good business sense
and doing what is right. Those who have messed with people need to think about that and those businesses know who they are.
white bread - not a good thing to eat but...nm
IC good thing is no more office politics.....nm
Good thing I proof read LOL
I was just proofreading my reports before I send it and instead of typing that the lady hit her head on a window, I typed she hit her head on a widow. Ha Ha. I thought to myself - hope they weren't on the way to the funeral. Okay, having way too much fun here.
Good thing you didn't have to test sm
and it's especially a good thing if they had waved/waived as a question on the test.
Good thing you kept all your wage statements. You'll have
a fight but at least you have the proof you'll need.
Being a high-producer is a good thing, but so is quality,
and by doing more and more high-quality work for less and less per line, we are cheating ourselves. The work is the same. Just because we can do more of it (regardless of software, etc.) doesn't mean that each line is worth less. The big companies are cheating us.
