I found a GREAT job by posting my resume here. :-)
I didn't have much faith in the process since I have heard that hundreds of people respond to each ad posted, but decided to give it a try anyway ... and I'm glad I did. I was contacted by a small company with a great owner who pays well and treats me with courtesy and respect. Thanks MT Stars!

Prior to posting here, this is what I found on Wikipedia and why I assumed it was, if not offensive,
From Wikipedia, searching the term Oriental. See what I have bolded and underlined.
Perceptions and connotations
[edit] American English
Controversy surrounds connotations of the term in American English. (See also American and British English differences.) According to Abdurrahman R. Squires, "politically correct terms have taken the place of the word 'Orientalism'".[2]
While a number of reference works used in the United States describe Oriental as pejorative, antiquated or offensive in some instances, the American Heritage Book of English Usage notes that
- It is worth remembering, though, that Oriental is not an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. It is most objectionable in contemporary contexts and when used as a noun, as in the appointment of an Oriental to head the commission. In these cases Asian (or a more specific term such as Vietnamese, Korean, or Asian American, if appropriate) is the only acceptable term. But in certain historical contexts, or when its exotic connotations are integral to the topic, Oriental remains a useful term.[3]
Random House's Guide to Sensitive Language states "Other words (e.g., Oriental, colored) are outdated or inaccurate." This Guide to Sensitive Language suggests the use of "Asian or more specific designation such as Pacific Islander, Chinese American, [or] Korean." [4] Merriam-Webster describes the term as "sometimes offensive,"[5] Encarta states when the term is used as a noun it is considered "a highly offensive term for somebody from East Asia." [6]
Not to flame but every day there's posting after posting about how awful MQ is
Why does anyone still work there?
I don't get it.
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
Santa
The Santa's wife had written a book a few years before about a little girl who was killed and found in her basement. I have always suspected him.
Some interesting articles:

Santa's House
Is anyone else getting an error message when trying to make a donation to Santa's House? I have been getting an error page since yesterday evening.
LOL. Yep, like the Chirstmas Santa
Too funny. I think she just wants attention and this is not the place. I'm sorry for her situation and glad she has done something about it, but really...enough already. Sheesh!
She needs to learn to make some decisions on her own. She says she is supposed to type 500 lines per day on her job....she types that many lines here on MTStars per day...telling everybody her personal business and wanting folks to feel sorry for her.
who was the Santa Claus?

Santa house?
I must be dense or blind or something, but I see nothing about a Santa house - only how many days and seconds until Christmas - and nothing to the left of it that says to post a new message. Am I supposed to see that at the top of this thread, or at the top of the main board - doesn't matter, I can't see it either place!
Secret Santa?
Is the link on this page the right link to enter?
Thanks MTStars and Santa!
What a wonderful and fun thing you provide for us MTs. Indeed, it is we who should be thanking you for the opportunity to come to this board and network with fellow MTs throughout the year. I am very grateful that you are here in spite of all the grinches who try to ruin it for the rest of us all year long. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and care in giving us this respite from our difficult jobs and stressful holiday season. It is MUCH appreciated by most of us! God bless and Merry Christmas to all of you who do the hard work of monitoring and providing this outlet for us all.
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Santa Monica
I live in Santa Monica. Although I am not in Ventura County, I would be interested to hear what you have to offer.
Thanks! I am close to Santa Barbara and will go there.
Will keep you posted. It will take six months to save up the money. The clinic in Santa Barbara is well known.

Secret Santa Question
Is the secret post usually on the Main board or one of the ones above the ------------ line? I tried searching this morning, but don't have time to puruse all of the different boards. I was just wondering if you could narrow it down a bit. It's okay if you can't just thought I'd ask. Thanks!
Santa paws - I love that! Thank you.

Oh yes, I see the Santa Maria and the Penta floatin in now..

Yes, everyone who make a donation gets to pull from Santa's Bag.

Question for MT Stars about Santa's House
I made a donation on December 2nd to Santa's House and have not been contacted to pull from the gift bag. I have the reference number for proof of donation.
I'm in Sili Valley too . . .Santa Clara:) nm

I want the Hyundai Santa Fe. Luxury and comfort
for a SUV. Rent one for a day or so before you buy, that way you can really tell if you like it. We usually rent something that we're thinking of buying when we go on vacation.
we have had beatiful weather here in Santa Clara
funny how the weather varies depending on what part of the Bay you live in :)

Early Santa Gift - Noise-Cancelling Headphones under $15.00 RadioShack
Merry Christmas all - I thought I would pay this forward. I was struggling with the dictators sound quality even with volume top level for computer sound card. It was really affecting my production. I tried everything - even typing slower and softer so that the keystroke sound would not distort the quality of the dictation. I was recommended to Noise Cancelling Headphones from Radio Shack. Item # is 33-104. Made by Presidian. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!! Not $300 or $400.00. Just $14.97. I thought to myself- o.k. for that price I will try them. Anything has got to be better than this. They rock and I'm passing it along. I don't work for Radioshack or anything but was thinking about swapping my MQ stock for theirs now... LOL.

I should make it clear to everyone that gifts being given do not have to be. MTStars and sponsors come together every year so that we can offer MTStars Santa's Bag gifts to US MTs who visit the MTStars website. I am seeing disturbing posts that are somewhat condemning when all we're tyring to do is spread some Christmas cheer. To those who have complaints, just don't play or ruin it for others who are enjoying the fun and festivity of this annual event.

GOOD LUCK
