I'm a bit late, but I'm the proud "mommy" of a miniature schnauzer. :-) nm
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
The Amish
if you ever decide to go that route. Take a vacation on an Amish farm. I heard of them but don't know where thy are.
Check local travel agencies.
I don't think the Amish are Weird. They are
a kind, loving, pure, and forgiving community who look out for themselves. They are hard-working, self-reliant, and do not worship anything green. My aunt married a Dunkard (a Mennonite sect) and I would stay with them every summer, and was taught many a lesson. I absolutely envy them (which, of course, is a forbidden word). LOL
For those who care, there are 2 funds set up through the Fulton Bank branches. One is called the Nickel Mines Children's Fund and the other is called the Roberts Family Fund. They are accepting donations until Nov. 1 and there is a committee of 9 Amish who will be taking care of the proceeds of the fund. I'm not sure of any of the addresses, but for anyone who would care to donate, you can go to WGAL-TV on line and find the addresses and correct names of the fund.
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.
(pouting)
If you happen to live near Lancaster , PA or near an Amish
one of their handmade furniture stores. That is where I got a beautiful hand made rocking horse, very similar in looks to what you are looking for (for $50). Kids still use it at 5 & 7, I will keep it for their kids one day.
mommy mommy!!!
>>>I only started making mean and offensive comments back when they did it to me first.
He hit me first!!! 
You sound like my kids when they were little.
If he is looking for a mommy ...
the only thing he will get from me is a spanking!! Half the time I can barely take care of myself .. the mere thought or having a grown man (most days) to take care of makes me laugh, honestly. I brought up one husband who died on me in spite of my expert care and I just don't know about doing that again. Reality is that once you lose someone it is very scary to think about the possibilities of having that happen to you again .. of course, 10 years younger should put me out of it way before him!
I'm a mommy again!
On another board I had been posting about my 2 yo girl at home. What I didn't say then is what I can now. I now have legal custody of her! I went from a single (young) middle-aged MT babysitting every other weekend to being a mommy as the mother wasn't in a place to be at her best. I suddenly found myself working one day and with a knock on my door, I became a mommy, just like that! I know this mother did the best thing for her child and I'm proud of her for that. She has already started taking steps to get herself back into a position of getting her daughter back and I'm supporting her ... well as best as I am able.
Geez, both my kids are in their early 20s so I haven't had to be mommy to a preschooler in a loooong time, plus I didn't do MT when mine were little. I've really been through a lot relearning how to be a mommy again. It really IS different today than it was all those years ago! I'm also learning how to juggle keeping little bit and trying hard to keep the impact of this change on my work committments.
I just wanted to say hurray! I'm a mom again! Celebrate with me and send me wishes to be able to figure out the working from home/mommy biz as quickly as possible! 
As long as he is not looking for a mommy
It takes men forever to grow up anyway, and a younger one sometimes wants a mommy to take care of him. As long as that is not how it is, I see nothing wrong with it. Men have been doing it forever, so why not?
I agree with you Mommy
It appears she just wants sympathy and for everyone to agree that QA is the problem. Any advice given her has been sneered at as irrelevant. If she'd rather work at Target than pay her dues to become a better MT, let her go right ahead.
Meant to say normal treatment for woman in Amish comnmunity. nm
...
Please stay off mommy's computer, okay?
bratty little kids have no business playing with adults
you two are the exception to the mommy rule(sm)
Most MT mommies got into this business solely for the purpose of staying at home and making a little extra cash on the side. They try to juggle the kids and MT and the diaper changes always come before that STAT report. And, yeah, I know what I'm talking about because I used to work in the hospital and that was always the way with the at-home mommy MTs. There was always an excuse as to why they couldn't do this or couldn't do that.
for MT Mommy and all the other 'aliases' under which you are postting here........
Why do you assume that I am not qualified?
My grammar is definitely better than yours.
You are only blabbering nonsense and making unfounded assumptions.
Why am I answering your st.....comments anyways.
I have to stop this, you are so ridiculous and pathetic.
I think we could all stand to learn from the Amish and how they are handling this awful, awful sm
tragedy. I read on a website 2 seperate stories of how the Amish are dealing with this. Yes, they are sad, but they believe that they will (and I do too) see their children again and that they are in a much better place. They have reached out to the gunman's family, visiting the killer's wife and children and offering them forgiveness. I also read that they want to "help" the gunman's family monetarily through a Mennonite fund if they need help! The article contrasted the Amish to other school tragedies where lawsuits were filed and death threats were made against the family members of the ones who committed the murders!
They are such graceful, loving people. Different, yet. Weird? In a way. But you have to admit that without electricity or vehicles to get them around, they obviously live a faith that most of us could only wish we had inside of us. I am a Christian. If a madman entered my children's school and killed them, could I offer forgiveness to their family? I doubt it. Could I weep in peace and silence knowing that I would someday see my children again? Maybe. But I would be a wretched mess and everyone around me would KNOW my suffering.
I am learning a great deal about the Amish through this. I used to live near PA where seeing the Amish was a regular occurrence. I thought they were so crazy and weird.....But, it was my own ignorance that made those judgments. They are wonderful, Godly people. I admire them more and more as I continue to read how they are dealing with this awful event!
oil of old lady!
That's what my husband calls Oil of Olay, but what does he know. I'll be 50 this year (and proud of it) and everyone says I look great for my age.
QA Lady
So obviously you were never a newbie? You came out of MT school the "perfect" MT. I have nearly 3 years experience and there are still things I look up. One thing about MT work is that is it forever changing. Not to mention the QA that faults me for things that are considered correct according to the Book Of Style. Just because an MT is new does not imply that she cannot do the job.
Hey QA lady. You were all over the
GAB board yesterday and now you are on the MAIN board telling us once again how wonderful you are and how superior you are to the rest of us. GET OVER YOURSELF. You keep telling us how awful MTs are, so QUIT and you won't have to deal with it anymore. I would hate to have you as my QA person. I think we all have heard enough about how PERFECT YOU ARE and how worthless MTs are.
You saying that, I only wish the lady
had been here at that particular time. I was transcribing a physician who changes almost every other word, sentence, saying oh don’t put that in, change to thus and so and then says a sentence and then says delete that. I could pull my hair out when I even see his name coming in. I remember the first time I ever listened to a physician and like the person you mentioned above, knew he was speaking English and I barely knew the first word he was saying. I guess most think we sit at home just "typing" a bit and then eating chocolate chip cookies the rest of the time.
just an observation, but I don't believe that lady had PPD
I believe she was psychotic. It's hard to second guess a diagnosis, but as I remember she had been ill for some time; her problem was not really post-partum depression. Does anyone else remember the details of this?
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Wow! Your one busy lady! My hat goes off to you!nm

27-year-old lady:)

No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
I wonder if you have the same boss lady as me...
She is terrible. She constantly acuses me of things I am not doing and then when I call her on it, I never hear any more about it. Never an apology. I have tried to speak with her on the phone but she won't and it's always by e-mail which is so frustrating. I have been slammed so many times I can't even count any more. I just never know from day to day whether I'll have a job or not because I never know what I will be accused of next. Oh the things we put up with to make a living in this business
Ask the Fruitcake Lady. sm
Just for grins and giggles. Still LMAO.

What a nice lady you appear to be..sm
In this world of nastiness, it is refreshing to see your giving post, your willingness to help a Mom out by taking care of her child because she is not able to currently. More impressive is that you are the *mommy* but are very open-minded and have full intentions of returning said child when the Mom returns back to being Mom.
KUDOS to you!!! You will be blessed and are probably blessed today!!! What a great holiday post even though it's not holiday related!! Warmed the cockles of my heart!! 
(((hugs2u)))
Signed: Another Mother in this life!! 
Which First Lady do U admire most?
Eleanor Roosevelt for me. 
Lady Baltimore!!!!

KYMT thanks for that tip. To the lady asking SM
about the macro, when recording your macro, you use the Control F9 to make a field, but when recording the macro you have to use your right arrow button to get out of the gray highlighted field and then continue with on creating your macro. When you are executing your macro, you would use the F11 button to move from field to field. This is essentially what KYMT posted, but her tip is so much easier!
Just wondering if there is a way to somehow "program" the autotext entry so that it takes you to the first field in the report after using the enter or F3 button?
Are you the same QAdragon lady I had
because before quitting the last job my dear QA had the nerve to get her fingers moving too fast on her instant messaging and sent me a message meaning it to go to another QA person and darn if she wasn’t talking about me! That was the last straw and I quit that very second. You 2 might be the same one?
GOOD! QA LADY, YOU ARE SO RIGHT NM
XX
lol Lady, I am not jealous! She, however, has
I still think her BA is in BS! LOL
The problem with the lady you cited
was that she was NOT taking her meds. She had been doing well but her husband wanted to breed again, so she went off the meds and stayed off after the birth because, if I recall, she was nursing, and no one seemed to care whether she spiraled into ever-worsening depression or not, least of all her oblivious husband.
Dear Dork Lady - sm
Accidents are life's learning experiences... as awful as some outcomes are, that is just the way it is. It is the reality of what our "Higher Power" allows to happen in our life. When this type of tragedy happens, it is SO most likely just an accident... NOT ANYONE's FAULT. If you shielded your children to the point that you didn't allow mistakes or accidents (even accidents that never injured), you are taking away learning experience, character building, and their ability to be sure of themselves in their own decision-making process when they are grown. I agree with the other poster's replies - you need a shrink and much therapy and some good medication to control your schizophrenia would be very beneficial I'm sure... Seek Help, if not for others, do it for yourself because you are WARPED!!!
you can do what I did to one lady - and flew to the state - sm
to collect the money. Boy, was she ever surprised when I literally ran into her at a restaurant. I had been trying to get to her office, but I went out to dinner the night I arrived and low and behold, there she was in the restaurant. Needless to say, her jaw dropped when I told her who I was and that I would be staying in town to file a small courts claim, along with filing a police report. I got my money! She has since closed up shop.
I know that not everyone can do this, nor would they, but I needed to make my point with this woman!
Oh, Ice Lady! Now I have to answer to you? Fine!
There are so many flames on this board, and, yes, many women get hurt enough to cry. I have corresponded personally with many MTs after they have gotten flame broiled for no reason at all - in particular, newbies with some innocent question about the industry, or people looking to get into the MT world, who post an innocent post asking about "how" to get into the industry, and they are flame broiled to a crisp. I give them my personal email and have made some great new friends that way. Yes, they have cried. This board in particular is a DISGRACE regarding flaming newbies and MT wannabes. If you aren't aware of it, then either: a. you rarely hang here (which I'm sure with your attitude will be your response, or
b. you're one of the flaming monsters who love to flame innocent posters.
Yes, people cry - not all - but I'm glad at least some still have the emoticon, oh excuse me - emotion left to do it.
And all you "closet" passive/aggressive people who feel its fine to bash on the internet - you're wrong. And all the folks with an ounce of integrity know it. So, flame away!
You are not going to win. You got the Argument Lady. She gets off on this stuff and you
a
to the mean lady, have you ever read something on line
From one of your "friends", or even smiled at something someone said on line? Thats an evoked response, so yes of course people can get hurt by comments on here. It's happened to me too, forgive me for be human and having normal human emotions. Maybe if I lock myself away and hate the rest of the world i'll turn to stone like you to where I feel nothing at all and actually enjoy watching others feel hurt. 
I absolutely have a cleaning lady - sm
about $65 bucks every two weeks, she does all the hardwood floors throughout my house, bathrooms from top to bottom (with bleach), dusts and vacuums. All the "big" stuff that I never do since I'd rather work and make money than clean my house.
I dont believe a word you are saying lady.
:
You're a smart lady.
I need to wise up!
Lady you are full of it. Amherst, tell me another one.

"Ethical" pay for my cleaning lady...sm
I write her a check each and every month to her business name. She does her OWN accounting and pays her own taxes and things on earnings and such. As she is not my personal employee, my accountant has advised me that it is the same thing as paying our lawn service yearly, which means I do NOT need fill out a 1099 for her as I don't do it for TruGreen/ChemLawn or any other service provider for our home when we need it. I do not pay her cash and I hope this ends this discussion. She used to work at a local firm for $6.25 an hour before starting her own business (yes she is American). I pay her what she bills me for as well as Holiday bonuses (yes in cash as it is a gift not a fee) and I also pay her 4 times per year and give her the day off - we go to lunch instead and I foot the bill. It saddens me to see this discussion go so far downhill regarding pay, tax evasion, etc. I am thankful she does what she does for our family and she is thankful there are people like me who employ her to do what she loves to do. Have a great weekend ladies (and gents)! I'm glad I got a chance to look through here and set the record straight.
how did the MIL get to "know" this lady in the first place? sm
I would be furious and do like the other poster suggested; no more to do with her period. what is worse is if she is talking to her daily, wonder what she is saying about you and your family and telling this lady.
My Wal-Mart does this too. I just look at the lady and smile.
Once I was stopped and she rummaged through bags saying that I had set off a trigger of some kind. It caught my by surprise. Yes, it is offensive.
That was supposed to be 4 ft 11 inches lady (nm)
nm
Hey this lady didn't ask you to insult sm
her. She asked if anybody had anything that would help her. Obviously she does not agree with what her niece has done, but the crack you made was totally uncalled for. Why can't you have a little compassion for this lady. She just wants some friendly advice, not nastiness. Have a heart will ya?
Had a 108-year-old lady while LPN in nursing
home.
Lady on Oprah today who was
set on fire by her ex-husband. It's an amazing story and brings tears to my eyes to hear her talk about how thankful she is to be alive and that beauty comes from within. We could all take a lesson from her.
Amazing!
