I'm in tears over Elliott
What a great, great guy. I'm sorry, but Kat sure came off poorly tonight, and her mother's little "take that" for the camera while Elliott was getting his goodbye was in very poor taste. I would have loved to have had Taylor and Elliott in the finals together. I would have been happy no matter who won then. I have a 19-year-old son, and I'd be so, so proud to have him carry himself with the dignity that Elliott did tonight. I'm am so sad for him, but I hope that something good comes for him out of this.
thanks, i need it. I'm in tears today

fractures, tears..yada
I broke my R hand about 15 years back. Had to work, was the only one bringing in the money as my ex boyfriend was laid off. So I wrapped my hand and went to work. I would transcribe until it hurt so much that I had to take a break. Went to the ladies room, put cold water on it and went back to work. In 2003, I sustained a R rotator cuff tear. No medical insurance and the only one, once again, bringing in the money. I put my R arm in a sling and worked. Had to pick up my R hand and place it on the keyboard and then was able to type. Took it one step at a time. You can do it..Over the years, when I have had trials and tribulations, I have realized when you need to make the money, you will do it..whether in physical or emotional pain.
OMG, I'm in tears I'm laughing so hard!
That is so funny!
Wow! you brought tears to my eyes sm
I was all ready to be blasted and your post actually brought tears to my eyes. I know it isn't ME because the same ME was barely making $10 an hour average on the account I was assigned before I got the one I'm on now and have been on for the last 2 years. I thank my higher power every day for my luck and will never forget that awful account I had before this one.
This brought tears to my eyes. sm
I loved this. I love animals and this shows how loving an animal can be.
OMG I can't see through the tears!!! Absolutely hilarious! Made my day...thanks!!!
This was good. There is no time for tears, arguments when you are
I'd throw him out, change the locks, he'll figure out what to do.
Don't look back.
I loved it. Brought tears to my eyes nm

Thank you all for your support... it brought tears to my eyes.
Seriously, I really appreciate all your supportive advice and thoughts! I have decided after being treated like this and putting up with it for too long, to look for another job or maybe even another career. I wish I could quit on them right on the spot without notice, but I have decided to show them what class or professionalism is, even in this bad situation. (Of course, if they do not pay me, then I will quit immediately.) I can only hope they treat their next MT with some courtesy and respect which we all deserve.
Hugs to you all ~
I too am feeling the same.. almost in tears and really feel like quitting altogether!! So you are n

i gave blood, sweat, and tears as a QA person -
I tried for over a year with a very lame lady who supposedly graduated from one of the *top 3* schools and was a former nurse. She had a terrible ear, little to no comprehension, and was clueless on how to even use her reference books! She was hands down the worst MT out of dozens of people I worked with. The point is this - You can usually tell pretty early if someone is worth training or not. What does your gut say?
I'll say this again, tears are NOT necessary. Determination is. As well as a sound intellect. sm
You CAN do it! Good luck.
Oh, dear! Wiping tears from my eyes. I'll pass on
"touching Frank on a personal level". ROFL! Oh, geez! Yeah, yeah, mind in the gutter and all that. 
What a heart-warming story. It brings tears to my eyes.
I can't wait for chapter 2 of this soap opera.
Minimum Wage, as I read this tears began to well in my eyes ...
You, like some of the other posters, reflect a clear understanding of the downward trend this industry has taken over the last few years and the mindset of those who caused it. You mention so many experiences that resonate with my own. Most notably, I like you, put all of my eggs into this one basket, foolishly believing that this wonderland profession that I had found would last forever. It was a perfect fit for my skills, abilities, and work preference. I was able to make an excellent living and felt that somehow I was making a meaningful contribution to the care of each patient whose chart came to life under my fingers.
It is amazing to me how each year the profession requires more and more knowledge from us, more skill, more ability, more dedication, more resources ... and in direct correlation to what is demanded from us our pay is cut more and more and without apology. I mentioned in another post that I remember when I first got into MT'g some 20+ years ago hearing the Powers That Be constantly resentfully complaining that we made too much money and were no more than glorified typists. Who could have known that one day they would finally all band together and make an industry-wide collective effort to correct what they felt was an unacceptable dynamic?
It seems that everyone directly and indirectly involved in the process of transcription is valued and compensated well for their contribution to the process -- everybody except us -- the ones who actually make the final work product a reality.
Thank you for your contribution to this thread.
Favorite love song that brings goosebumps and tears to the eyes?
Leave it to the drug companies - how brilliant!! Tears Again, Teargen, Teardrops, Tear Drop
etc etc etc
no wonder I'm always skirting the edge of sanity...
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
HEY YUCK - YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT GETS! LOVE YA MAN!
that is beautiful, thank you....
I am going to email this to my best friend who lost her mother a few years ago. This time of year is always hard for her, as is her mother's birthday. Thank you!!
Beautiful here!
Not to brag - but it is mid 80's, blue skies with little puffy clouds and a nice breeze. Of course, we are in the Pacific NW. Love it here - this is why we left the valley!
Beautiful!
Beautiful MT/ad
Well, I clicked on the link and could not get this ad up - so I missed out on the "beautiful MT". My question here is - are there any really beautiful MTs out there any longer - or are we all overworked, paid too little for our services, expected to do a lot of work that is not connected to the production that we are paid for - and receive little or no benefits or job security. I can tell you after 15 years, I do not feel very beautiful. Would like to hear from those who are "beautiful" and if the procedure to get that way was very painful, as I am contemplating some work.
Thanks so much for this beautiful
prayer. It's exactly what I needed to begin this new day and new year. God bless us one and all.
If you say I am rich and beautiful...will I be?

COLD, 40s, where are you. BEAUTIFUL here in NY.

Beautiful out today...
Hey RadGuy, hopefully you are out somewhere enjoying the beautiful day here in Lexington. I just got home from going out with me, myself, and I to Johnny Carino's (Hamburg Place) for a wonderful lunch. Then I went to Value City Furniture and spent an hour looking around. I started to go to Office Depot, but I have this thing about computer desks and decided I had better just come on home !! 
and it is a beautiful state, but...sm
You ask about attitudes. This is my opinion. I lived there for 4 years in the 1970s, got married in Denver in '79. I found the people somewhat racist against many types of people...maybe that has changed today. I lived in Georgetown, Dumont, and Denver (Glendale and Capital Hill), worked from Loveland Pass way out west in the Rockies to the Bull 'N Bush in Glendale (very east of Denver) when the Broncos went to the Super Bowl, crossing all walks of life. I would hope, today, it has changed for the better. Your Father's Moustache Band was around then and still around today. 
Same here, beautiful here in VA 60-70 last 3 days - sm
today we are supposed to get rain and snow, yuk, and back to the cold weather to boot!
Your kitty is beautiful!!! (nm)

Outside weddings can be beautiful...
Don't underestimate this. I had a friend who had a casual wedding (she was not barefoot) but the guys wore blue shirts with khaki pants in a park-like setting with the creek traveling by it. Cut-offs would have been extremely out of place there. Slacks and a casual top would have been okay but I think the best choice is a dress (not exceedingly dressy) and sandles. My experience - one of the prettiest weddings I have ever been to.
Sounds Beautiful
Patti that sounds just wonderful. I'd love to live somewhere like that. I sounds so peaceful and relaxing.
Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM

beautiful post, THANK YOU. nm

maybe...(beautiful thoughts) SM
Maybe... we are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe... when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the new one which opened for us.
Maybe... It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe... The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.
Maybe... You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.
Maybe... There are moments in life when you miss someone – a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child – so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Maybe... The best kind of friend is one you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word...but when they walk away you feel as if it was the best conversation you've ever had.
< br> Maybe... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
Maybe... You should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe… Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe.. You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go for wealth; even that fades. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Wow..beautiful messages...THANK YOU EVERYONE!
I really appreciate you all taking the time to give me some insight. I'm going to hang in there. The one poster was right--I do have PTSD from my old job who stressed me continously about firing me! Sigh..that was a horrible experience and I'm still burned from that. I had never gone through anything like that before. Every job I've ever had, I excelled with it. Well again, THANK YOU!
a beautiful man! plain and simple.
and a great actor.
Denver beautiful town
Granola tree huggers?? Sounds good to me..better than cholesterol artery clogged tree destroyers. My cousin lives in Westminster, another in Estes Park.
If you are so extremely thin and beautiful,
then why are you on this site. Are you a transcriptionist. If you are as beautiful and thin as you say you are, I doubt very seriously that you'd be typing for a living.
Thank you MT stars for the beautiful print. I am going to have it
framed and hang it in my living room. I think you are doing a great thing with the Santa's House project, too.
There are some beautiful beaded curtains at
art flow. com
Yes, had a wonderful day with beautiful red roses!

No, I live in TN and love it ! It is beautiful!
It is warm in the summer and cold in the winter, but never too much of either! It is "just right!"
Singapore - incredibly beautiful. nm
At least you have beautiful weather most of the year. nm

Its a darn shame, Travolta was a beautiful man.
After the age of 40? Men are supposed to have less fat cells anyways, so he is basically just sitting around eating doughnuts to death. With all that money, get a personal trainer and a nutritionist!
Wait a minute...I thought my son was the most beautiful
Do you think it is beautiful to have rolls of blubber hanging out your
shirt, over your ankles, and walking like you have two 40 inch diameter poles poking out at a wierd oblique angle from your fat butt that you try to walk on? Most fat people are really nasty as well as ugly.
It it any meaner to walk up to a skinny person and tell them how skinny they are than to walk up to a lard bard and tell them they are fat??
Two beautiful German Shepherd puppies. nm
