Yes - I have had many psychic experiences since the age of 9. Just in the past 2 weeks I have had 2 - the usually involve either a death or a birth. Because of my birth predictions, several women have asked me to predict their labor dates - all which have been correct. I am a Christian, so I do have a problem with this sort of thing - as the Bible says not to even dabble in anything of the occult - however, one person explained it to me this way - that I was in touch with my feelings and the feelings and experiences of others - so as to help them, somewhat of the Lord laying them on my heart - I rarely tell anyone of my predictions any longer as it causes me so much stress and really messed me up when I was a teenager. The only thing that I can say with certainty is that when the seasons change - the 2weeks before and the 2 weeks after - there are more deaths than at other times of the year. This has happened over and over in my family, as well as with my friends. Check out your family Bible if you record deaths and see how many happen around the changing of the seasons.
again with the psychic abilities
felt about "noble hopes?" Nope. Nada. Nyet.
When everything is said and done, I am responsible for myself. You are responsible for yourself. IF either of us were to chose to be in a position of helping others, that is a different level of responsibility. Again, I did not address how I personally feel about it, what I've done in the past, do presently or plan for the future, and I won't do it in this post, either.
Jeesh, this is wearisome. Please find a hobby, leave the profession, or get some professional help - better yet, get a MySpace web page as your personal podium.
You have to be psychic to be treated.

last nite on TV they showed a psychic's....sm
I didn't think it was Karr, UNTIL they showed on CNN last night a picture/drawing from a psychic from 1996-1997 and they held the drawing up next to Karr's picture last night and they look identical.
Too bad it took 10 years to bust this case open
It would probably take a psychic detective unless there was a witness.

Nah.. again I say.. give up pretending to be a psychic. You do not have a clue.

hey, psychic is in your mind and your posts. i'm an mt. i just feel when people ramble about th
they usually have tried to relax and don't realize how crazy they sound. no i don't have a clue. i am reading between your lines which aren't making sense. i pretend nothing. magic 8 balls and psychic is your area of "expertise", not mine.
You need to give up your psychic friends business and toss your magic 8 ball.

30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to. I'm in the southeast.
2000 low days, 4000 busy days
Did 43,000 lines last month. 6 doctors.
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
Hayseed; I luv ya!
Hayseed! You are my kinda gal! I am in just about the same situation; plunked into a small, rural town with NO job opportunities available, hit rock bottom, etc. I answered an ad, like you did, scored an interview, aced the test, and they told me, like I said, that I'm the only person without "experience" they have ever hired, but, my background, determination and fortitude impressed them. Did you have to buy your own equipment and resource books to get started, too?  By the way, I have a friend who moved to Bangor. I was her secretary for two years before they moved from here. She's a psy nurse, her hubby's a child psychiatrist. If I ever get there, I'd love to meet you! (love your picture!)
Hayseed
Good for you. I don't think I could live so isolated, but you seem to do just fine with a lot of humor. I love reading your posts, and I love your piggy.
You said it Hayseed!!!
I agree as well. Sure, it would be great if I got paid more, but for me it's the unpaid benefits that are worth their weight in gold. I save money on clothes (not too many people can say their work clothes are comft PJs), gas for my car, and child care for my children. I get frustrated like everyone else, but I think of all the good things I have going for me working at home, step back, and then jump right back into it.
Well said Hayseed!!!
Hayseed
Most, if not all of your posts, make me giggle! Honestly though, I've thought of doing the same thing from time to time...
Hayseed
I like the way you think!
You go Hayseed!
Things would be different for me, too, if I had a "hubby" to bring home a paycheck and bennies and stuff. I am an excellent MT, too, BTW!
Hey Hayseed
Just wanted to mention to you about dentalplans.com. I had not been to the dentist for some time because of the insurance issue, so went looking and found these guys. It is NOT insurance, but the dental plans offer a range of pricing and covered services (plan fees are one annual payment of about $159, more or less). The hygienist was amazed at what the plan covered for me, as was I. I had to have the deep cleaning done (which was charged at about $1,200 per quad, but my cost was about $300 per quad with the plan -- not to mention the savings on the root canal with crown/crown extension that I had to have -- BIG bucks, but I saved quite a bit there too.)
Anyway, you can get a plan where you get free cleanings and x-rays, I believe, but then the more extensive work is not covered as well as with the plan that I chose (Presidential, I think). You also have a 90-day period of time during which you may change from one of their offered plans to another (like if you choose the free cleanings plan and then discover you have a lot of work that would be better covered by another plan).
I know . . . I'm starting to sound like a commercial or like I work for dentalplans.com, but I was just really glad to find them and I felt like it was as good as having actual dental insurance, since most of the insurance plans I have had or reviewed are not that great anyway, and usually only cover 25% of the costs involved with seeing a specialist.
Hayseed
Are you a Steeler fan??????
Yay, it's HAYSEED!
So glad Hayseed responded! I couldn't help but write too. I have been lurking the last day, and have to admit I have missed this place. All I had to do when it was down was go on smaller MT boards and lurk, but still had too much time for e bay and working! (Note to boss: Sorry ,just kidding, I do work all the time and am only on here when I have my break, really! Note to husband: Sorry about my paycheck going to e bay rather than auctions, it was not my fault, really!)
But real reason for writing. Glad to see hayseed is here! Hayseed you really cheer this MT up lots and glad you are here still. You have fans you know, and if you disappear, it won't be the same! :) You have cheered this HolidayMT up on more than one occasion and wanted to thank you for that. When this place was gone, thought there was no chance to let you know, so here it is in case this place disappears again.
Well, that's it for now, cheers to all from the HolidayMT.
Hayseed....
Do you still work for Deventure?
550-650 lph on average. Some days more, some days less. It all depends. nm

How? By working 12-hr days 7 days/week?
;LKJ
Hayseed... I e-mailed ya'
re: cropping avatar.... Thanks. 
agree with Hayseed. nm

Agree with Hayseed.
Although I sort of like the "grey" spelling. :-)
I'd definitely put in the hyphen though.
To my way of thinking, Patti,the commas are needed--it IS a list.
I beg to differ Hayseed
Ebonics is a term coined, originally intended and sometimes used for the language of all people of African ancestry, or for that of Black North American and West African people, emphasizing the African roots of the former; since 1996 it has been largely used to refer to African American Vernacular English (distinctively nonstandard Black United States English), emphasizing the independence of the latter from (standard) English.
The original poster most definitely was referring to a particular race here in her commentary.
You missed the point entirely.
Hayseed....I did see a post about you...
Setting up a webcam. Well, I have always been large busted and now wear a 48I, so now that I am in my 40s the girls have drooped to the point they are to my waist, so not sure setting up a web cam would make me any money, lol. Unless it was a horror cam. HA HA HA!!!
Hayseed, Jamie - thank you!
I got it! Frankly, I agree!! PTO sounds good to me, too.
Hayseed, you should check out
the AlphaGrip . . . I have had mine for a little over a month, and I am doing pretty well with it. While it looks like a game controller, the key layout is called an "enhanced QWERTY", so a lot of the keys are hit with the same finger you would use on a regular keyboard. I do not use it exclusively yet, but I use it for ALL mousing, saving and zipping my files, posting here, and have used some of the free learning programs to which AGs web site offers links. I have gotten to where I can work with it and not get frustrated, but my speed tested only at 24 wpm a couple of days ago, but the pain I was in before I probably was not going much faster on the old keyboard.
It is cheaper than the Kinesis (if memory serves), with the AlphaGrip a reasonable (IMO) $99.00. I love mine, and my kids love it too!
Hope the link posts . . . I have trouble with that for some reason.
Hayseed I know just where you are coming from
I have been in that position myself. Not so much with the "pager" thing, but getting calls at different times and with the company for example being on the West Coast and me being 3 hours ahead and them not forgetting the time difference. It truly is "between a rock and hard place" because these companies KNOW who their "good and dedicated employees" are and will frequently use it to their advantage and forgetting that we are also human. I for one too, have a hard time with companies that utilize an "instant messenger program" with their MTs, because as you mentioned, when you are constantly receiving an IM, it cuts way down on productivity. Hope your day gets better as it progresses.
Hayseed, I don't know you but your posts
indicate a person with a great sense of humor, and very intelligent. Surely with your experience, you know there are jobs out there that won't make you crazy, right? :)
With 20 years in the biz myself, I'm definitely coo coo for coconuts from listening to voices in my ears for all this time, but I do choose my level of insanity by refusing to work for companies that abuse/don't support or train/don't pay on time.
You'll find a better fit because you've taken the proactive step of putting yourself first, i.e., self respect.
Good luck.
Hayseed, just wondering how you are doing? nm

I agree with Hayseed ...
and I think that many (though not all) companies do it.
When a seasoned professional starts having difficulty making lines when no known major variables have been manipulated, then there's a definite problem going on.
I agree with Hayseed! Don't go into it with the mentality that
you have been "cheated" but that an error was made and needs to be rectified. I don't know how long you have worked for the company you are speaking of, but if it has been awhile and this is the first time this has happened, it is more than likely an oversight.
I truly sympathize Hayseed, however, fortunately
none of my accounts contain an ESL physician. You work 3rd shift, don't you? If ever you need to vent at 3:00, let me know; I'd be glad to lend an ear.
Your very welcome Hayseed! glad it helped someone, LOL! sm
is your volume low now too?
thanks hayseed!! i encourage everyone to contact sm
as much media as possible and get this well publicized.
here is a link to everyone who works in the firm that published this conference.
http://www.cohenlaw.com/attorneys-name.html
and specifically here is the direct email to the man guy in the video who is vice president of the company....
llebowitz@cohenlaw.com
i say we all BOMBARD them and shed as much light as possible to this company and employees for what they are doing.
That is a terrific idea for you Hayseed!
My hubby has a friend at work whose wife freelance writes for Delaware Today (a local magazine), but she basically writes a short one pager that appears on the very last page. It usually is about something going on in her life, i.e., when they were looking to buy a home. She has a way with words just like you. You may want to even consider writing children's books. You certainly have a gift. 
Don't feel bad, Hayseed, I've been
covering most of the household bills since hubby had his surgery...that's a year ago last month...and I can't continue to keep it up. He only pays the mortage(s), electric for his garage, car and house insurances, plus anything his truck needs.
I pay groceries, heat, electric, cable, life,health, and disability insurances, and charge cards which were racked up when he got sick.
He is back to work, but the work is not there this year.
We switched from oil to coal last year because we couldn't afford the oil anymore. This year's contract is 300 gal. for $719, and they changed the contract.it used to be if the price went down, you got the lower price. No more. You pay the contracted price this year, but never over the stated price per gallon. Big deal. A lot of oil companies around here went in the hole because of the high prices, and they're trying to dig out.
I don't know what the cost of coal is this year, but it will sure beat oil.Warmer too. I was snug as a bug in a rug for the first time in 10 years. We spent $300 last year and still have about a ton left. Plus the stove can also use wood and we have a pile of that that we cut a few years back and never used.
Hang in there...things may change for the better some day...sooner than later, I hope.
Hayseed, I just figured out that was a pig in your picture!
Regarding pay raises, I am paid hourly. I work for a fairly large multispecialty clinic. Last week we got a 3% COLA raise. I've been there four years and I've gotten a raise every year.
Hayseed, your posts make my day.
Damn roosters.
Hayseed, take a deep breath...
You've just reached the boiling point. How have you put up with this as long as you have? Yes, you'll still have your job. I think some companies like to see how far they can push someone, and the more you do, the more they want you to do. But they do not want to lose a great employee such as you.
I seldom post here but I always look for your posts because you're entertaining and enlightening. That may not mean much to you right now but I know you're going to get a lot of responses saying the same thing.
So take that deep breath. If necessary, maybe send a more calmly worded email to your boss stating things much as you did in your post here, especially the 2nd paragraph. It's very succinct and gets your points across. Now you hang in there. It's going to be okay.
I feel your pain, Hayseed.
As a former battering ram, I was the ONLY person to do a certain account, not only because it was hard and I was more experienced, but I think it was a situation where the squeaky wheel gets the grease, ya know? I never complained about it and was a yes man until one day I 'sploded! I have to say, I have switched companies now, it is an open pool with no cherry picking, and I am happier than a pig in ____.
I am glad Hayseed is back.
But where is MT50???
TY Hayseed. Nice picture of you and piggy. nm

Hayseed - if you want a good keybord - indestructible - try this
 I have worked 2 and 3 jobs, long hours, for more years than I want to tell you - this keyboard is the best. go to pckeyboard.com and look at the classic- I had one for over 10 years - only destroyed it then by pulling keys off to try to get cat hair out - whenever I get a new computer I leave that board in the box and use this one. I am fast and am not nearly as fast on other keyboards - newer ones have such a dull touch. The gal with arthritis I am not sure about - but I have never had any hand or carpal tunnel problems. This was originally IBM who sold out to Lexmark who then went strictly printers.
Right as usual Hayseed! And what about British dialects - sm
such as a strong Cockney accent compared to upper-crust Londoners.... it's like a different language. Every country in the world has similarities in their respective languages as well. Has less to do with color than it does social class, location, education (or lack thereof), etc.
Hayseed...I thought you loved your job and co...what happened? nm
xx
Hayseed, I am so sorry to hear that. Last I read the board, sm
you were very happy at DeVentura. How did it go so bad....!!!
I wish you well.....Good luck!
