I hadn't heard

George was leaving the show, so when she figured out it was George, I was in total SHOCK! Kudos to the writers on shock value... (Which by the way, looking back now, it was VERY similar to an old ER episode where one of the black med students or residents jumped in front of the subway & they didn't realize in the ER it was him until they paged him & his pager went off. Anyone remember that?)

I figured Izzy was leaving, but then when she started remembering, I got my hopes up, only for her to code. What an emotional rollercoaster last night!

If Izzy and George are really both gone, I wonder how different the show will be :(

I hadn't heard about that.
Unfortunately I don't think the City of LA can do anything. Even though I agree with EVERYTHING you said, people are free to do what they want. I'm really surprised she was let out. I guess only time will tell if her treatment helped. Somehow I doubt it.
I declawed a cat and wish I hadn't.
Got new couch. Got new cat. Cat scratched couch. Declawed cat. DH out of work 4 months on disability, made sense to get a puppy, right? Not to the declawed cat, who lost her mind and started urinating in our bed. Also, she could not exercise properly when she couldn't hook those claws to climb, grab toys, etc.
just a thought, but when you said you hadn't--sm
eaten much during the day, have you ever been tested for diabetes?? could be blood sugar level. Hope you are okay. keep us advised.
I once asked my mom why we hadn't
been dropped off at a certain daycare center in a while. She had done this so she could be free to shop without twins in tow. I didn't miss the place at all, and was glad she had stopped. (I was probably hoping she just loved us too much to dump us off anymore). She told me she thought it had "gone under." I said I didn't understand, what did she mean. She got impatient and just repeated the same words. I was horrified. I wanted her to use OTHER WORDS! I kept seeing the building slowly being lowered underground ...


OMG! I hadn't even thought of that! nm

I hadn't thought about an overhang
being a problem. Thanks for the heads up. I guess it makes sense if you think about the nature of granite, which is rock made up of fairly large particles of mixed aggregate (trying to sound smart, but not absolutely sure I said that right). :oD

I think I'll need to use a product like Silestone (sp?). I bet that one can do an overhang.
Thank you. I hadn't thought of MSN groups for that..
and I am definitely getting counseling ASAP..
Hadn't thought about that - thanks, deenibeeni! nm

Well, there's an angle I hadn't considered...
Good point, longtimeMT...I hadn't considered the possibility that her 'type' are usually the ones on the boards of HOAs. The ones who think they know what's best for everyone.

I'm giggling so hard at her ludicrous posts that I fear I might wet myself. Talk about pretentious! I'll take my cozy little apartment with my hubby and pets and the WARMTH and LOVE therein over her snooty TRACT HOUSING any day.

Too bad she doesn't appear to realize she isn't IMPRESSING us, she's ENTERTAINING us!!!
I dunno, in 36 years I hadn't done much ESL
before 9 months ago (unless really severe mumblo-American counts) and I've been able to pick them up fairly easily. But I've had a lot of help; lots of sample reports available (and a lot more that I've saved myself, after they've gone through QA), and QA people who are willing to jump up at a moment's notice and assist. And a QA department that understands that "miracle worker" is far, far above my pay grade. :)

So if the OP really likes MT work and is willing to climb the learning curve within a supportive system (which obviously has not been the case in the present job!) it's absolutely doable. Of course, this is a decision only the OP can make.

Having said that... there are always going to be SOME problem dictators. One of my worst is a native English speaker who is just plain lazy about putting all of the syllables into words, and even putting in all the words he probably wants. Fortunately, I work for a company that understands this very well, and they are willing to "ride" the client about "riding" the dictator in question to clean up his act. Garbage in, garbage out.
I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.

Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!

I heard, so sad. I liked him.

yep, once heard it said that if you
expect nothing, you are never dissappointed, so I have learned to expect nothing, and in return, I am always surprised, which makes even the smallest of niceities someone does or says much more appreciated by me. We are to be happy givers, actually expected to give until it hurts, and not to expect anything in return, amen.
You have heard exactly what I have
over the years. I have heard so much of this I probably would swat my children out of their seats at the table if I ever heard these gross sounds. I also hate to hear yawning while dictating. Reminds me of the time I used to work outside my regular job and had a physician who was a terrible dictator in the hospital and at his office (this was a group of physicians, otherwise would not just have worked for him) and one day he dictated a letter to his bank about his account and you got it, every word was letter perfect, perfectly understandable. I think most dictators find the job of doing their reports not high on the totem pole. That is why we as transcriptionists have to put up with all this crap noise they send our way. Sneezes, snorts, eating, drawing on a cigarette (yes, years ago that 1 for me), coughing, smacking, chewing, and yes, that occasional bowel movement thing-- my mother would have killed me if I ever did this!! I learned well at her knee, still am very cognizant of others in a family/social setting.
You said if you really WANT to, well heard the
same subject on weight loss from my aunt. A lot of elderly people's appetites wane and now she talks about a person, all you have to do is push away from the table. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what you are saying. If you really want to. Ok, I am trying now- I want to be beautiful, thinner, rich, and so on and so on. Hey, I really want this so I guess it can come true, right? Like I said, lot of people just do not understand. Maybe she has a good friend somewhere that will understand.
From what I have heard,
they have great personalities. I believe that smaller dogs do need to go out more frequently for a longer period, but if you work at home, maybe this won't be such an issue.

That being said, any puppy takes a lot of time and attention, and if that is going to stress you out, say you have kids and a busy life, the puppy stage can be rough. Thank goodness puppies are soooo cute, LOL. My neighbors are working with a puppy, and unfortunately they got it at 6 weeks. They were really bleary-eyed there for a while, and thought we were really smart to get an adult dog.

Make sure you go to a good breeder. This is a good place to start:

http://www.bichon.org/breeders.htm

They are not more expensive than a "backyard" breeder who is out to make a buck. The less responsible breeders tend to give themselves away by using terms to make their line sound special, but usually mean they are outside the breed standard, or breeding for looks over health. Depending on breed, they may use words like "teacup" "giant," or even "hypoallergenic." Bichons may cause allergies for fewer people, but that doesn't help if you or a family member just happen to be allergic. So what out for such buzzwords designed to sell. A good breeder is going to have questions for you about how ready you are to take on a puppy of their breed, and they will also tell you that if at any time, for any reason, you need to get rid of the dog, call them - not a rescue, not a shelter. They will always take their dog back because they really care about the dog.

If you get one, we want to hear all the puppy (or dog) stories. :oD

Never heard of this...
but will go to Lowe's tomorrow and check it out. That might be something that works in conjunction with the other ideas.
you *heard*???? LOL.........

You *heard that AL Gore's documentary had no facts in it*?   And I quote you on that.


Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you *hear* - go do your own research for crying out loud!!! 


At least Gore CARES!!


Has anyone heard (sm)
how the poison got into the wheat?  Last I heard it was a poison that is not used in this country. 
Just heard from my son
they are finally on the bus and on their way home. We live about 1 1/2 hours from Tech. There is where my son plans on going to college. He actucally told me he loved me on the phone.
I heard that
on the local news - it is utterly unbelievable! 
Um, TOM? Never heard of it.
No hits on my abbreviation site, either.
No, have not heard.
Don't remember the 1997 thing either. Well if it worked back then, I would give it a go, but I feel it is a lost battle. I hate the prices where they are. $2.77 for me at the Gas N Go in NJ. $35.00 just the other day to fill her up.
I heard that!

Also have 2 boys and 1 girl - she is the middle child and has been a challenge since she was a baby.  Tonight is the PROM!  OMG will I be glad when tonight is over!  With my son, it was rent a tux, order the corsage take some pictures, have a good time, be careful with my new car. 


With my daughter, it is shop for dresses, shop some more, pick one out, have the store hold it, forgot a 50% deposit, go pay in full, wait a month for them to press it, shoes, slip, find a belly button ring that doesn't show quite so much through the fabric of said dress, purse or no purse, order flower for boyfriend AND also corsage for daughter because boyfriend doesn't feel like ordering corsage and his mother won't do it for him, nails, hair, makeup, be careful with my car (boyfriend is 17 and does not have his license). 


Did I mention I will be glad when tonight is over.  Truly love her to death, but yikes!  Talk about high maintenance.


I have heard it's not at all
uncommon for an older child to go back into diapers and back on the bottle when another baby comes along for the same reason - a plea for attention. My husband is only a little older than his sister, and that's what he did.

So your son simply needs more of your time and attention. I hear 4 and 5 are the most fun ages anyway. :oD


I heard that too...sm
Boy, I hope not...that'd be too weird.  I won't watch it either if that happens...
I have never heard of her. I just
read on a spoiler thing something about her and was wondering who she was?!
Never heard of that . .
just the Plott, which was just recognized by the club. It is a short-haired beautiful hound. You may be right, as there are unusual breeds, not yet recognized by the clubs. If you ever watch Crufts Dog Show in England you will see some dogs we do not yet recognize in our clubs.
Thanks for this, I have never tried it but heard about it
and now of course never will try it.  I never thought of the fumes, probably would have if I had tried it. 
Never heard of it. Do
you get them in stores or have to order them?
Tell me more, have not heard about
NM
Well, actually have heard of this before
so maybe just not able to obtain vitals and so therefore declared?
I never heard of
Curvelle.  Is it an appetite suppressant?
Anyone heard of this
before. My best friend (a male age 50) began to experience severe headaches two days ago.  He has been under a lot of stress.  Then about a day and a half ago he came down with flu-like symptoms with violent vomiting.  His headache became so bad that he took himself to our local hospital.  They ran tests and diagnosed him to have an aneurysm.  He was rushed to a big hospital in Chicago via helicopter earlier this evening.  After running tests there it was determined that it is not an aneurysm but just a "bleed".  The doctor said that it is normal for males between the ages of 46 and 60 to have this occur.  Have you ever heard of this?  I am worried sick about him.
I was a fan before anyone had heard of him
did a short-lived Fox series - can't even remember the name of it now - but this may have been accidental.  He apparently was having difficulty sleeping and told friends that 2 Ambien was not working for more than 1 hour.
I heard that, too.
You are supposed to keep them in the carton inside the refrigerator instead of in the door b/c the door is not cold enough to be a safe temp.
I have heard it all

As dictated:


 


The patient states her is unable to keep anything down.


Thanks - Never heard that - (sm)
Nice lead singer - (woohoo again)
I had heard somewhere
that women only have 2 or 3 hairstyles they look good in anyway.  I know - that's about all I've had my whole life (I'm 49).  I keep mine above the shoulders becuase I have a long face, and it pulls it down otherwise.
I have heard this too
I sure wish I was middle class.
You may have heard
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy.

If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we purchase useless junk it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America . The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US

Has anyone heard of this
I work for an ENT doc and he was seeing a patient that had "multiple synechia" in each side of the nose due to putting green onions in his nose. I was just wondering why the patient was doing this?
Thank you. Never heard of that! NM
xx
I have heard enough, too!
I always felt they planned this stunt. They wanted to do something to get their 15 minutes of fame. I feel sorry for the baby.
Oh, you heard that one too!...nm
//
I heard this too
They say it sounds weird but it works.
Here is what I have always heard. sm
If you drink and it changes your personality, you have a problem. Otherwise, if you can drink and your personality stays the same, you don't have a problem. I personally drink 2-3 liquor drinks an evening. In this business, we need something to calm us. Tell your roomie to mind her own business. I think if you were drinking that stuff with your coffee in the very early morning, I might say you have a problem but otherwise drink on!
I heard the same ads
And they were sponsored by our electric company. I figured they wanted us to think they were concerned for us, but didn't want us to save TOO much on our electric bill. So they stuck with suggesting the switch to the fluorescent bulbs and unplugging appliances.

We're better off shutting off lights (and reminding our kids!) and shutting off our computers at night.
