i agree with Mary Kay prod's

Posted By: sm on 2006-03-08
In Reply to: Mary Kay all the way - Mari

i started using them because i complimented several georgeous-skinned older women and every one of them used Mary Kay. I was a consultant for 10 years, and still use the products. My mom uses Oil of Olay. Maybe its as good, but i am a believer in Mary Kay.

p.s. men typically poo-poo such notions -- nature of the beast i guess. This is very personal, its YOUR skin, so YOU should make the decision with no guilt!

Mary Kay all the way
Hi. I have used (and sold) Mary Kay since my early 20's. (I am now in my 40s) I have strayed from the path to other brands twice, and my face did not like them. So, I always always come back to Mary Kay. The newest and greatest is our microderm abrasion set! I SWEAR I HAVE NEW SKIN
Mary Kay

Skin care is so important....especially after 30!!!  I love Mary Kay's Time Wise Cleanser and Moisturizer and the Microdermabrasion is unlike any other on the market!!  I wouldn't want to be without it - EVER!!  It's a staple in my budget!  I highly recommend it for every skin type!!   It's GREAT!  Lisa

I don't know where you get your information, but Mary Kay DOES NOT test products on animals!

Way to go Mary! Yum yum......


Mary.....(sm)
I have the exact same problem as you right now. Because of it, I am not having any success with installing the latest version of McAfee. It's actually stopping me from putting the anti-virus software on my computer. I was just wondering if you were able to solve your problem? I have no idea how to get rid of it?!!
Anyone know where Mary Patterson (of YOG)

Mary Kay is the bestest!
I've used it since I was an early teen (Mother sold it). She started me young because my older sister had horrible acne (it worked miracles on her). In my entire life I've had MAYBE 5 pimples :)

I'm 50 now, and looked way younger than my years ... until I went through treatment, which aged me, but I still look pretty good for a 50 year old.

I also tried a couple of other skin cares (VERY temporarily). My face itched, turned red, etc. I came straight back to MK, and won't stray again.
There's another one similar to Mary Kay... sm
called BeautiControl...talk about expensive!! On the other hand, I love Pampered Chef and most of their products, but can't stand some of the pushy consultants who think you just "need to have a party!"  I understand that they make a living doing what they do, but give me a break!
Congrats Mary! :-) nm

Au Contraire, Mary...
I've SEEN voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.

The blessing and the curse of the technology is, it can only be as good as the humans dictating. We've all seen the deterioration in the quality of dictators, particularly over the past 3-5 years. While most of us tend to complain about sloppy dictators, indecisive 'transcriptionist, go back up' throughout the entire report, ESLs, etc., those are the MTs saving grace. With those types of dictators, the technology will never be able to fully render us obsolete.

In a perfect world with near-perfect dictators and the ability to edit their own work, I sadly predict we would all be looking for a new career within 5 years.

The technology is there and, in the right scenario, it's frighteningly accurate. Luckily, the all-too-human dictators are holding it back from rendering us obsolete.

Au Contraire, Mary...
With all due respect for your opinion, I must disagree. I've seen voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest, at optimal utilization. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.

There you go again,Mary, answering
tsk, tsk, tsk...


Right, Mary...Keep telling yourself that

Who are you calling mary?
I AM NOT MARY!   There you go again, thinking you are so darn smart.  Well, you got the wrong person this time.
Exactly. That's how Mary Kay hooks women-SM
by showering them with positive attention, atta girl, you go girl.  It is unnecessary and we are not dogs.

I cannot use Mary Kay because they test on animals - sm
But I do use Estee Lauder and Oil of Olay. I consulted three dermatologists on getting Botox and they all said no way for me because I have no WRINKLES around my eyes or forehead ... at 39 years of age!

Mary Morkin's list

Check out http://www.mtdaily.com/abbvs.txt   I got Mary Morken's list from there.  I believe there are 13,000 of them listed. 


Also see http://www.mtdaily.com?mt1/abbv2.html   That should give you even more links.


I'm referring to a printout I did in 2005 so I hope these are still good sites.  I incorporated the lists into my own.  Some abbreviations I like, some I don't and have changed once I developed my own system, but this will give you an idea just what you can do.  But do get the book so you will know how to THINK in short form and come up with your own system.  It took me a while to see how my brain worked and I've made modifications but boy do I depend on them to produce!


I'm sure Mary is real; why the exclamation?
nm
No, I was agreeing that Mary's arrogant.
;)
Mary Patterson is with Futurenet in Monrovia, CA.

wow, hard to believe that Mary Kay products would cause allergies - sm
when they test on animals!!!! They have voiced to the public that they WILL NOT stop testing on animals.

And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am being sarcastic about my subject line. The point I'm trying to make is that Mary Kay tests ALL OF THEIR products NEW AND OLD on animals. Part of their reason was to "prevent allergies in humans" .... rrrrriiiiggghhttt
And you're miss Mary Sunshine, right?
nm
Wow, Mary. I live in BG too. Congrats. I'm jealous!
no msg
Mary Kay recieved awards for NOT testing!
See the link below to see that they do not. It is directly from PETA.

Mary, don't feel like you need to defend yourself or your questions...

Some people are just plain rude and maybe need a second job to occupy their time instead of lurking on this board waiting to make a nasty comment.


I was surprised when I first saw that too.


Mary Morken expander system

I need to make at least $150 a day every day.  Where can I find a Mary Morken's method?


Thanks


Answer for Mary and Comment for Cranky

Mary, I have never worked for Transcend so I don't know much about the company except what I see here and by looking at their web site.  It looks as though they offshore, never a good sign as it usually means low pay at the very least.  If you don't have a problem with offshoring, and you should, then think about giving it a try.  If India is in there, you probably won't be treated very well.  I have been told it is a "cultural thing."  Whatever.


Cranky Beach, I worked for a wonderful company (never though I'd leave) that was acquired by Acusis, a company with major offshoring.  It was the same situation as you, they told us everything would stay the same, nothing would change.  They were just biding their time . . . and after a while they started throwing all management from the old company under the bus.  Then it was change after change after change, none for the better, mostly to transition to running things "the India way" and eventually ended up cutting everyone's pay. Soooo glad to be out of there.

She's right! The Mary Kay lip care is the ONLY MK stuff i use, works GREAT. nm

I use the same - Love oil of Olay! Mary Kay breaks my face out. nm

Mary Kay and Estee Lauder don't test, but Oil of Olay does.

Mary Morken's 2007 list of abbreviations SM

You can import Mary's list, or just copy it onto a CD or a little flash drive, I think it might be too big to print it out. Looking it over will give you a good idea of how to go about adding to your own list as well. There are 600+ dictators on the account I work on, so keeping whole reports doesn't work too well for me, and I have tried to make shortcuts for phrases instead. Also for capitalizing drug names that need it, and for correcting my most common errors. Happy New Year! Wise


 


Absolute truth, I had problems like this until trying the Mary Kay Satin Lips. sm
There are 3 parts, a balm, mask and triple-action enhancer. I used it twice a day for less than a week and the chapped lips are gone. It really does work and is worth it.

Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..

he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money!  Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood.  With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not? 


I agree with you....

I mean afterall there is no evidence that she is dead.  From the beginning I thought they were guilty and I still think that Joran knows something (not saying it was an intentional murder-- probably an accident)  The biggest thing that plays on my mind is why did they lie in the beginning if they were innocent.  I believe that they were covering up for something.  There have been theories that she went for a swim and drowned but there has been absolutely no trace of her.  No shoes, handbag, nothing, which leads me to believe that everything was gathered up and taken somewhere. 


I feel for the family but they need to let the Arubans do their job abiding their own laws.  I know the mother has said she will stay until she finds Natalee but you can't live in Aruba forever.


I agree....

I think you have to blame Natalee herself before you blame the chaperones.  What was she thinking going in a car w/ three strangers in a foreign country???  And also, what about her friends.. what were they thinking letting her go to the bar or leaving the bar alone?  Back when we were in college and were on spring break or just bar hopping in this country..... you NEVER let your friend go off w/ some strange guys.  That is just common sense.


I agree!
It is stated above, "I wouldn't give my daughter 2 cents towards a trip to Aruba at age 18. There's only one reason to go to an island like that, to drink."

Thank you! Me either!

I feel awful for this girl and her family. I really do. But no way in Jerusalem would I have allowed my 18-year-old son OR daughter to go to Aruba (which is a colony of the Netherlands, where pot is legal and who knows if there's any regulation on alcohol).

An 18-year-old is in no way socially savvy or emotionally prepared to be turned loose in a strange place with very loose laws and be expected not to get into some kind of a situation that he/she is in no way prepared to handle.

NO WAY

I really hope they find this poor girl, but it's not looking good.
I agree - for all we know
they could have taken out a second mortage on their home to finance this "vacation".
I agree with you...
besides if I sat all day and typed an American doctor who dictated in monotone speech I'd be sleeping by 10 a.m. I look forward to the challenge of transcribing the ESL's every day..it makes our jobs more rewarding!
I agree
nm
I do agree with that...

Evil does exist no matter where you go and my post was meant in no way disrespectful to you or your opinion (I hate it when a flaming war starts like the ones above).  I just know how one seemingly insignificant comment can start a whole line of growing misinformation...  Kinda like that game we probably all played as kids..telephone or whatever 


I did not hear about the comment of America being the Great Satan, that is interesting, I am going to have to check that one out! 


agree...

IN some cases we did, but do you really think the Indians didn't do the same?  There is a myth about indigenous peoples on any continent being "noble savages," but in truth, there were warring thieving tribes among the Indians here who leeched off the peaceful tribes before the Europeans got here.  Lying and cheating are not exclusively European virtues.


I still say they need to get over it.  We spend way too much time in this country talking about mistreatment and ills of the past - we need to spend more time and energy on building a future for the children and grandchildren we say we love so much.  The best way to give them a successful, peaceful future is to let go of our resentments and choose to love our children more than we love our grudges.
